Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1902-10-30
OUR TICKET.

OUR TICKET.
The candidates of the Democracy in this
campaign have been before the people
many weeks, subject to the strong light
Of public scrutiny, and not one act of
their past lives has been found to reflect
on their characters as men, as officials or
as citizens. They are all men above the
age Of forty years, and not above fifty,
hence all are in the prime of vigorous
manhood, competent and able to bear the
burdens Of public trust and serve the
people.
Judge RICHARD T. MILLER, the can
ditate for Congress, is product of the
best blood of New jersey, being son Of
the late Walter B. Miller, of Cape May.
AS Judge of Camden County Courts, and
Of the Circuit Court, be won golden
opinions for his sound decisions and his
uniform and universal courtesy. When
his term as Circuit Court Judge expired,
although Democrat, yet every lawyer Of
the counties Of Camden, Gloucester and
Burlington counties petitioned Governor
Voorhees, to re-appoint him. That is a
tribute to his fairness and ability that
comes to few men in official life.
THOMAS NJ TERRELL, the Democratic
candidate for Senator, needs neither intro
duction nor eulogy at our hands. His
many years Of prominence in their county
relieves us of any effort in that direction.
Has he ever done mean act? has he ever
betrayed cause in which he was enlisted ?
has he ever betrayed his constituents has
he lacked ability to accomplish what his
constituents desired To these questions
every man in the county will respond with
an emphatic No Driven from his trade of
glassblowing twenty-three years ago be-
cause Of his protest against system then
in force of paying wages in script worth sc
cents on the dollar, be was forced into pub
lie life, and to-day thousands daily reap the
results Of his public accomplishments. His
life has been a series Of sacrifices for Others,
especially those who most need the protect
ing arm OF the law-making power; yet
never asking or seeking for them more
than justice.
Mr.. Terrell is modest man. He is a
candidate now not Of his own seeking, but
because called to lead in this cricis when
the people are lining up for their own pro-
lection against the crushing power of the
Trusts. We say it not as a partisan, but
simply as giving utterance to an evident
truth, that Mr.. Terrell is the only candi-
date for Senator in this county in this
campaign whose past life, whose training
and experience give the people assurance Of
aid in the inevitable battle. Trust money
without limit is in this county today and il
here to elect VIM. K. Robertson Senator
over Thomas NJ. Terrell.
Voters Of Gloucester County, its up tx
you. Mr.. FerreH, when practically boy
was the deliverer Of his craftsmen from {
system that plundered them Of SO per CEN
Of their earnings; as man Of ripe expert
ence be may be enabled to blaze the way t.
relieve ali the people from hundred plum
derers, whose hands are in every mans
pocket. At least his talents and vote vii
not be employed to make oppressive you
burdens Democrats, Republicans, Prohi
bitionists, Thomas M. Ferreu is big enough
to represent all in this battle with thu
Trusts.
Honest JOHN M. TAGGART is not so vel
known by the masses in this county as Mr.
Ferrell, but sometimes man reveals {
character in very few words. We oh
tanned better knowledge Of this man from
the brief sentence spoken in accepting tn,
nomination for Assembly. We quote:
II believe every man fulfills best tn.
aim of their existence in so far as they pro
mote the good of their fellowmen. Tha
thought and that old and fundamental prin
ciple of the Democratic party Free ant
