cisms that some people have seen iit 20

criticisms OF those I'm high Office have be-
come so common for one 20 come forward
as these papers have done and call a

Governor O'Fcrrall may have made
some mistakes. but let the man who has
never made one cast the FIRST stone ana
we feel that the Governor would never be
MT by one. Again. NJ the election four
years ago it was decided by very large
majority OF our citizens OF the state that
they wished him 10 occupy the guherna-
t0ral chair. Now be has filed the chair
thus FAR and discharged his duty. We be-
ncve. cOnscientousiy.
SO let Criticisms cease until there Is
cause for IL and We feel sure that Cover
nor O'Ferran will leave his Office as he
has so far filled it-with credit TO himself
and honor 20 his State.
