every man that owes mortgage; in fact
everybody in the State except those who
profit by disaster and prosper in time Of
panic will be convinced if he reads or lis
tens to the arguments that the election OF
Bryan means direct money loss to him.
Every citizen will have chance to
hear and to read the reasoning on the.
subject. The, Republican Committee is
being ably assisted by the Democratic
Sound Money Committee in disseminating
information on the subject. The reason
that people have not understood it before
is because it has not been an issue be-
tween the parties here and has been
left to the bankers and specialists, but
now it concerns everyone. The argu-
ment is not hard to understand and
though the literature is voluminous, the.
case can be stated in a very brief form.
It is certainly unique to enter upon a
Presidential campaign in New Jersey that
is not only devoid of partisan bitterness.
but in which the leading men of both
parties have common system and a
common hope, and I for one am very
glad such is the case
