The first speaker introduced was Coun-

things he said: "It is not customary for

in a body. For that reason il delights me
to see SO many of Jersey City's represent

ness and every profession is represented
here, and that is something unusual.

ness men and fewer lawyers will be poni-
mated and put into office. Business men
make better legislators. We fill eur Leg
