Union County's farmer orator." James f. Mar
tine is indignant at the continued rak:ng up Of the
scandal connected with the State House ventila-
ton. and he argues that the illness Of the persons
named was caused by the unreasonable weather.
Somehow Mr. MARITIME forgot to attribute the
weather freaks to Governor Griggs or the Repuo-
lcan legislature Perhaps. however, he may be
saving that for the fall campaign.
Newark's trolley companies want change OF
administration so that they may do as they please
without any danger Of annoyance or interference
Every Newarker who favOrs their policy should
vote on Tuesday for James NJ Seymour or else
stay away from the polls.
Justice Of the Peace William Levy has returned

The defeat Of John c. Rankin for reelection as
Mayor of Elizabeth would be accepted as vindi-
cation Of those who have been assaing the char-
acter Of Elizabeth and the integrity OF Its chei
magistrate.
There Is much quiet speculation among New-Jersey
Congressman to the probable decision Of the he

The State convention that meets In Trenton
next Thursday is not likely TO be controlled or in
fiuenced by any boss bosses. If the delegates
feel like placing on record simple statement OF
their preference for Mckinley If they feel like
pledeing their representatives to ST. Louis for
Mckinley and Hobart they won't be deferred by
the thought that some people may differ with
them.
Poor Seymour. As " he didn't have enough
trouble in his hopeless fight to reach the Mayors
chair In Newark without the opera-bouff in
dorsement of the Essex County Democracy!
In spite Of all the downright lies and malicious
distortions OF facts, the intelligent people OF
Newark understood that their interests were
never better looked after than during the two
years that Julius A. Lebkuecher has been Mayor
There are many New-York business men who
have their homes in Elizabeth To these the fol-
lowing remark is addressed: If you want to put
to shame those who have been trying to prove
that Elizabeth is not At place for decent people
to live in you do it by voting next Tuesday
for John c. Rankin. And get your neighbors TO
do likewise.
No boss-no clique of politcians-dictates the
policy or appointments of Mayor Lebkuecher
Beat him and you return to power the most bare
faced gang of bandits that ever fattened at the
public crib.
Democrats turned out in great numbers at the
Republican primaries to defeat Mayor Leb-
kuecher. They were guilty Of all sorts OF rowdy-
ism and intimidation. and the men who planned
the devitry are now using those acts as an
argument against Mr.. Lebkuecher's reelection.
On questions Of National politics Elizabeth is
a Democratic city, but there is no question Of
National politics at stake now John c. Rankin
was elected Mayor by the votes Of hundreds OF
good Democrats who appreciated his services in
rescuing the municipality from bS nkruptcy. The
credit and good name OF Elizabeth are safe In his
hands and there is good reason why he
should now lose the support of any who voted
for him two years ago.
Let us assume that the election OF Frederick
c. Marsh as Mayor OF Elizabeth has been ac-
complished. Then when people complained that
this or that law was not being enforced and that
Mayor Marsh was criminally negligent they
would 20 to Mr.. Marsh and ask him as Prose-
cutor to secure the indictment and conviction
of himself as Mayor. Wouldn't that be lovely
condition of affairs?
Taxes in Elizabeth rather high, but Eliza
beth he'd heavy debt to wipe out. The city Is
almost out of the woods now. Two years more
under the administration OF John G. Rankin
should put the municipality on solid basis as
any of the State.
