Should be Voted Straight by
Republicans and Independents.

Track Laws.
The Republican ticket stands for
the principles and policies which have
brought prosperity and happiness to
the country and in an especial degree
to our State and county. A full party
vote means that the Republican candi-
dates will be elected by good MAORI
ties and the successful administration
of President Mckinley. both at home
and abroad, should receive well deserv-
ed support at the hands of the Repub-
licans of Morris County.
An enthusiastic convention, COM
posed of intelligent thinking men,
made no mistake when it named the
Hon. Charles A. Baker, of Ledge
wood, as the candidate for sheriff.
Mr.. Bakers entire life has been
spent in Morris, the county in which
he was born. His private as well DIS
his pu bile life, has been an open
book. Elected by his fellow-towns-
men and neighbors as Assessor of Rox-
bury township, so faithfully did he
discharge the duties of the Office that
he was afterwards elected township
collector. Later he was twice elected
to the Assembly.
1t is matter of record that the
duties of each Office were discharged
with ability and in a manner which
reflected honor alike on himself, his
constituents and the place he had
been chosen to fill.
Those familiar with his careful and
thorough business habits know that
as sheriff the office will be managed
in a manner satisfactory to all con-
cerned.
Let the Republicans do their duty
ON Tuesday and Mr. Baker will be
the next sheriff of Morris County.
The Republican Assembly candi-
dates need no introduction at the
hands of the Chronicle.
The Hon. Jacob w. Welsh during
the sessions ofsfS98 and 1899, was an
efficient representative of Morris
County and credit to the entire
State. Born at German Valley where
he has lived all his life, the increased
majorities given each time he has
been prevailed upon to take a nomi-
nation, attest the high esteem in
which he is held by his neighbors.
Mr. Welsh is thoroughly familiar
with the affairs of our county while
his long experience as member of
the Legislature, peculiarly fit him to
look after its many and varied inter
ests at the Capitol. At Trenton Mr..
Welsh had the reputation of being
one of the hardest working members
in the House. AS an active member
of the Committee on Appropriations
he carefully scrutinized the numerous
applications that came before his COM
mittee and although ever willing
to vote for measures of real worth, he
was always outspoken against any
measure that was not required for the
public good and which were not real
ly meritorious.
The appropriation for the new hos
pital at Morris Plains was secured
largely through his indefatigable
efforts, and had he not done honest
and faithful work ON numerous other
committees, his record on the hospital
alone entities him to hearty support
at the hands of the voters of Morris.
Bearing in mind the numerous dis
reputable jobs and measures foisted on
the public by former Democratic
Legislatures, the wise voters of Nor
ris County should vote and use all
their influence to return Mr.. Welsh
by rousing majority. He can be
trusted. His record tis clean. Vote
for Jacob W. Welsh for the Assembly.
The convention also showed its
wisdom in unanimously nominating
Samuel L. Garrison, of Boonton, for
the Assembly.
Mr.. Garrison has been prominent in
his home town and throughout the
county for third of century. A
newspaper editor of ability and ex-
perience his paper has always adj
yocated measures for the good Of the
public. Improved roads, the better
ment of the public schools, and the
many advantages possessed by Morris
County for manufacturing and as a
place of residence are among the meas
