TALKSLIKE A MAN
Sheriff Ruempler Resents
DR.. McGill's Statement
AS a Slur on Him.
HIS JURIES THE BEST EYER MADE
No Pull" Has Anything to
Do With His Selections,
Nor Ever Will

When asked this morning what he had
TO say in reference TO DR.. McGilrs charge
that man with a proper pull' could
not be indicted today in Hudson county,
Sheriff Ruempler replied
IT DR.. McGill made such an assertion
he cast a reflection on me personally and
ON my administration of the Sheriff S
office which l feel obliged to resent. /
say that the statement if made by DR..
McGill, as far as it concerns the selection
of grand jurors by me, is absolutely false
In selecting Grand Juries since l have
been Sheriff of Hudson County I have
tried in every way to name competent
men whose regulations We're guarantee
of the prompt and proper administration
of the criminal laws. In this l have been
influenced by no man or men. When max
ing selections for Grand Jury Duty con-
sidered neither politics nor nationality
capability and integrity were my only
standards.
That my efforts to improve the per-
sonnel of the Grand Jury of this county
have been appreciated by the judges of
the county courts is evidenced by the
words. of praise bestowed upon former
Grand Inquests by Justice Collins and
Judge Blair, both of whom differ with me
in politics.
This is the first time since 1 have been
Sheriff that there has been any criticism
of Grand Jury of my selection, and to
any fair minded person,-who has read the
newspaper controversy in which the pres
ident of the Jersey City Police Board has
taken such conspicuous part, there can
be no doubt that the last Grand Jury did
its duty in every respect. If there was
any dereliction it was on the part of the
members of the Jersey City. Police De-
partment who failed to properly submit
evidence.
Il have the most implicit confidence in
every member of the last Grand Jury.
The foreman, Mr.. Jacob Ringle, is a Re-
publican. He is a gentleman whose repu-
tation in itself is sufficient refutation of
the baseless charges made against the
body of which he was the head.
I'm compliance with the suggestion of
the late Justice Lippincott 1 have made
it point to name only business men on
the Grand Jury, and all have been citizens
of respectability, many of them fathers
of families, whose interests were identical
with those of the county and whose only
aim was the county's welfare.
My future Grand Juries, as this one,
will be selected from among citizens in
whom the people have confidence and
who will not bow to the pull of any in
dividual. No man has pull enough to
influence me in my selections. I under
stand my duty and will perform it with
out fear or favor
''The people of Hudson county elected
me to the office of Sheriff by the largest
majority ever given to a candidate for
that high office. 1 appreciate their con-
fidence fully and will endeavor in the
future, as I have done in the past, to do
nv dllty fearleSSly'
