decided to name Mr.. Bacon as perma-

The Republican party of Hudson coun-
ty appeals to the voters of the county for
their hearty support of the candidates OF
this convention with confidence born OF
duty well performed.
AS part of the great and dominant par
ty of the nation which has, by wise and
bene6cent legislation in the halls of Con-
gress, made possible and practicable the
unprecedented prosperity of this country
and it's people, we ask the voters OF this
county to support our candidate for Con-
gress, Messrs. Robert Carey and James
d. Manning, and by this the only possi-
BILE method emphasize their appreciation
and endorsement of the administration
of President Roosevelt and his cour-
ageous, determined and successful efforts
in the settlement of the great coal strike.
The State of New Jersey is a Republi-
can State The confidence Of the major
ity of the voters in the principles and
policies of the Republican party has
made it so. The people of this county
enjoy their share of the general prosper
ity due to Republican rule, and as the
best secure continuance thereof by
electing Republican candidates. The time
is ripe for this county to repay the debt
of gratitude it owes to the rest of the
State for the abundant prosperity which
Republican majorities have secured to
our citizens.
We cordially endorse the administra-
tions of Governor Franklin Murphy and
Of Mayor Mark NJ. Pagan of Jersey
City. They have demonstrated their abil-
ity and honesty Of purpose by their ear
nest efforts in executing their pledges to
the people.
We recommend the election of our
candidates for members of Assembly. AS
members of the majority party in the
State Legislature they will be able to Sc
cure for this county the enactment of
laws best adapted to the needs and de-
sires of their constituents.
If the Democratic candidates shall be
elected they will form a pitiful and i'm
potent minority, hopeless both in num-
bers and in influence, leaving the county
practically without representation.
We recommend the election of our can
didates for members of the Board of
Chosen Freeholders. They will transact
the county business economically and for
the best interests of all the people.
We recommend the election of our cam
didate for supervisor of the Board of
Freeholders. He will exercise the pow
erful prerogatives of this position in the
interest of good government, and curb
any disposition toward extravaganza in
county expenditures.
The most important question that will
be submitted to the peea2e at the COM
ing election is whether or not we shall
have county parks.
This question will be submitted on a
separate ballot and every voter should
see that he votes that ballot in favor of
the parks.
If it is decided favorably it will result
in building boom that will afford steady
employment for hundreds of men in the
building trades.
1t will stimulate the real market and
make property salable that is now held
by complaining owners who get nothing
out of it but tax bills.
1t will attract population and this will
benefit business men generally. 1t will
be no more of burden than the Boule-
ward was or is. The slight increase in
taxes will be more than offset by the in
crease in ratables and valuations.
There is no politics in the park ques-
tion. 1t is something for the general
good and every man should vote for
parks no matter what his politics may be-
!, ANOTHER RAP FOR RECORD.
J. Herbert Potts jumped up next to
nominate Colonel Toffey for Sheriff. The
little Judge mounted the platform and
proceeded to give another rap at his
friend, George L. Record, about the Dem
ocratic way of making nominations. FL
nally he got down to the Colonel and
traced his political career from Alderman
in 1876 to Assembly, State Treasurer
and Sheriff. He pointed out the ColonePs $
military record and read glowing letter
of praise from Colonel Mindell, who
recommended the colonel for the medal
of honor for bravery on the field of
Chicamauga. The colonel, he said, was
not q candidate in one sense of the word,
