There were greater issues involved IN
this campaign, he said, than IN any Or
binary national campaign. The Legs
lature would be called upon to vote TOT
a United States Senator. Mr.. Gray Went
into national history to show what the
: Republicans are aiming at. they faV,..

platform can afford to vote for the
principles which are Hamlltonlan IN

found that it aimed for the interests OF
corporations and class. The Republi-
cans, he declared, were entitled 10 no
credit for the recent war. A Democra!lc
Congress forced the Republican admins

There were just as many Democratic
hour of victory no one figured more
prominently than "Old Fighting Joe
Wheeler. Amid cheers he alluded to SEN
ator Days efforts to have an emergency
fund of S250, 900 treated for the Jersey
soldier and sailor boys, and told how MT.
Daly's efforts We're defeated by tne he
publicans, headed by Foster M. voorhees,.
He pictured the results of the Hi-ureat-
ment of the Jersey soldiers.
Prosecutor Budd of Burlington alluded
to the meeting as a magnificent demon
stration. He asked the Democratic vot-
ers of this section to help those in South
Jersey to drive out of power a party
that through deceit had interrupted the
States management by a party that had
successfully Controlled it's destinies for the
past thirty years. Mr. then pro-
duced figures to show the extravaganza Of
the Republican regime He called attsn-
tors and press do not want to DISCUSS
State issues. He said the Republican
party didn't declare for equal taxation
because 1t depends on the corporations for
campaign funds. Discussing National Is
sues the speaker called attention to the
fact that Notwithstanding one OF its cIti-
zens, Mr.. Hobart, stood high in the Re-
publican administration, not a solitary
soldier of the New Jersey regiments had
the pleasure or the glory of smelling
smoke or powder during the war with
Spain. 1t was enough to make old joel
Parker (cheers) turn over in his grave.
The speaker put in a big word for Allan

would await the returns on election night
from old Hudson, and anticipate a heavy

first vows of citizenship, recreant to the
memory of Randolph, Parker and Nc

alluded to Mr.. Voorhees, treatment of
labor, and said that the labor element
would do all in its power to keep out of
the Executive chair the man who ridi-
culed and sneered at the bills presented
in their interests. He also referred to the
decision of Supreme Court Justice Gum
by a trolley car was valued at ST. He
said it was time a law was passed that
would prevent a Judge from rendering
such a brutal decision.
Ex-Judge Hudspeth, who was received
with cheers, declared from the start that
Hudson would roll W her old time DEM
ocratic majority for every candidate on
the ticket. He made an eloquent plea
for American citizenship to assert itself.
He said he could conceive of no greater
creation than an American citizen, be-
cause he represented self-government-
The Republicans claimed that the DEM
ocrats were not capable of governing
themselves in the face of the fact that
New Jersey had for thirty years govern
ed the State economically and well. and
in the interests of the whole people.
He mentioned the names of Randolph
and Werts, amidst applause that
grew louder as each name was pro-
nounced. The Judge said that the Re-
publican leaders had cause to shirk a dis
cussion OF State issues. He denounced
Griggs for breaking his pledge made be-
fore his election as Governor. that his APP
pointments would be of a non-partisan
nature. His appointments were extremely
partisan. He had 40 sooner planted him

made in any department for the benefit
Of that department.
Judge Hudspeth also reviewed Voorhees,

Wanser Term Extender, as aiming against

presented for passage was so Infamous.
