The Republicans Address to Voters

The Republican State Committee has
opened the formal campaign by an @Ad-
dress to Voters The ext of the docu-
ment was published in a back page OF
the Evening Journal on Thursday, as
If the paper was ashamed of it.
1t might well be ashamed, for, except
ing the statement that an election will
be held on November s, the document did
not contain one line of truth.
It opens with a lie SO comprehensive
and aggressive that we might take up all
OF this newspaper today with detailed ref
utation, and still print a new fact in
every line. This is the lie in question:
The government of the State for the
past four years has been SO able, so nom
est. SO free from public criticism. so near
" what it should be, that it is difficult
to realize that only four years aye Pes
out the State was the exact opposite OF
what It is now.
IN reply to this preposterous assertion,
however, it is really necessary to present
only one fact. This is the enormous and
constant increase in the expenses of the
State Government, ever since the Repub-
licans came into control, four years ago.
This fact is ascertained beyond dispute
from a comparison of the State Comp
trollers' reports for any number of years
back that one may choose to go. The
figures are official. They cannot lie, and

Whose tears may dew not ever the sod
beneath which now are sleeping.

THE Address further reminds the
voters hi eight Congressman are to be
elected in this State. Our special concern
is with one of them. The Republican
party has presented to the people of this
District a man who has been notorious
for forty years for the narrowest bigo-
try, the most intolerant prejudice in poll
tics and religion alike The advocate of
seetionalism and sectarianism, Major
Pangborn goes before the people waving
in one hand the Bloody Shirt and in the
other the draperies of Edith O'Gorman,
and he and his party have the effrontery
to ask for him the suffrages Of self re-
specting American citizens.
The candidate of the Democratic party
for Congress belongs to the same re-
ligious creed as the ex-editor of the in
heard of William d. DAILY asking the re-
ligion of his fellow citizen, to use it
dSdHiot bilH III HIS Sotldl, puSiHSoS VI Po-
litical relations. Nobody has ever heard
William D. DAILY insult the beliefs or the
traditions or the usages which are re-
vered by tens of thousands of men n
women in New Jersey. Democratic in his
love of freedom of opinion, he holds his
own faith and holds in due respect and
regard the faiths of other men.
This may not be a political issue. But
there is a point at which the personal
factor 'transcends the political one. The
nomination of q. K. Pangborn is al in
suit not only to one class Of voters, but 10
every man who believes in the terms Of
the United States Constitution, and we
hold that in his individual case the rec
ord which he has made, and in which ne
used to ~glory-probably stu glories-is
the only thing worth considering.
