SEARCH LIGHT TURNED UPON CON-
GRESHAM LOUDENSLAGER'S RECORD
Introduced No Bills for Benefit of the Farmer the
Workngman but Voted Against their Measures
When the Interests of Monopoly
Were ENDANGERED
AN OPEN LETTER FROM A CAMDEN
REPUBLICAN TO THE CONGRESSMAN

importance to workingmen, the Conspiracy
bill, you voted against the desires, and in
defiance of the prospects, of more than one
million organized workingmen. You
introduced four bills during this term, and
all were for private claims and pensions.
The first session of the Fifty seventh
Congress, which has just closed, and which
extended from December 2, 1901, to July
/, 1902, was not an exceptional time for
YOU You did not introduce any, bill
looking to the benefit of either organized
labor or the farmers. But, you were, never
theless interested in farm matters, for, on
the only measure favored, and especially
advocated, by the united farmers of your
district, you voted against the farmers
and for the Oleomargarine Trust.
During this time you introduced thirty
bills, resolutions and amendments, and
twenty three of these were for private
claims and pensions. The other seven
were for matters of no value to your dis
trict.
No doubt, there are other votes of yours
that would startle and edify the laborer
and the farmer in your district, but it is
impossible to locate them because of the
failure of the House to call for the yeas and
nays on every question. The logic of your
recorded votes, however, is that you were
10 @lo iy14o ofA Io
and the farmer whenever those interests
came into conflict with monopoly.
Summing up your account, Mr.. Louden-
slayer, for the two years and seven months
we have cited, or from December A, 1899,
to July 1, 1902, we have the following
statement:
Bills, resolutions and amendments intro

payment of private claims and pen

Number of these that provided for any
thing of any benefit to the district.

Measures introduced for the benefit of
the workingman. Observation-Disclosures.

man. Observation-Disclosures. Against him.
Voted for or against the farmer, Against him.
Another feature of your account will
interest your constituents, Mr.. Louden-
slayer. That is the number of times you
are quoted as "Not voting" but as hav-
ing "paired" with Mr.. De Graffenreid, o.
Texas, and other Southern Democrats
Your constituents may want an explana
ton of this part of the account.
In conclusion, Mr.. Loudenslager, remem
Der that there are some things you canno
dodge, and they will tell against you. Yor
may dodge this letter, but you canno
dodge the Congressional Record.

Chickens make good rat food, but expen-

coop in one night is the experience OF Mrs.
A. E. Budd, on Hessian avenue. The
coop had boards under it to keep the
chickens off the ground; the black dog
Duke put his nose under the coop so the
coop was raised; seventeen dead chickens
were under it. Duke followed the trail
under a pile OF wood and with the assist

The Republican managers, who are this
year depending on vast corruption funds to
elect their Congress candidates even in
Republican districts funds put in by the
Trusts from the millions more they are
squeezing out of the people all the yeal
round-are very much worried because in
such districts the Democrats have nominal
ed men who out of their own pockets pay
the expense of getting the antitrust voters
to the polls, and who are patriotic enough
to put in the funds for that purpose. We
hope this worriment on the Rep. managers
part will prove to have been justified. To
free our land from Trust bondage is the first
self-duty of intelligent Republicans and
Democrats alike.

1t has been the impression, even of those
best informed, that anthracite coal was not
subject to protective duties, but the IL
fusion has been dispelled by the discovery
that it is protected" by tariff OF sixty
seven cents per ton. Secretary of the
Navy, Moody, addressing Republican
meeting at Madison, Wisconsin, last Thurs
day night, declared that the duty of sixty
seven cents a ton on anthracite coal twas
smuggled into the tariff act in sneaking
and cowardly manner" and ought to- be
repealed at the short session of Congress.
A duty on coal is not the only schedule
that got there unknown to the makers OF
the law, and so long as we send lobbyists to
Congress the frauds on the people will con-
tinue.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1902-10-16

The Frankfurter Zeitung, regarded as
the ablest paper in Berlin, in a column
article ON the coal strike, alludes to the
spirit of the operators as 'lunacy of fan
cied greatness" and adds: ''When the
coal combination sees it is able to throw
10000, 600 Of people into anxiety and need
and remain beyond reach it will naturally
get the idea that it holds possession by the
grace of God, like the potentates of old
Europe"
II the Zeitung had been up-to-date on
the strike situation it would have known
that the operators had passed the ''grace Of
Cod stage, and publicly proclaim that by
Divine Right they hold 100000 in
anxiety and fear.

Mr.. Robeson's nomination for Senator
was secured by the liberal expenditure of
Trust Magnate John Kean's money. How
often will such Senator vote against
Trusts if elected to represent this people
at Trenton? We believe our readers are
capable of digesting this gentleman's candi-
dacy and making the application at the
ballot box

DIR. H. B. Diverty, the Democratic can
didate for Coroner, is a physician of ten
years practice in Woodbury.. 1t is evident
to everybody that he is in every way emf
nently qualified to perform the duties OF
this Office and personally is worthy OF
the honor. Those points being settled in
his favor, comes the claim that one of the
Coroners OF the county should be located
in or near Woodbury.. That is another
point to consider in electing Coroner
this year.

From head to foot the Democratic ticket
is one that appeals to Democrats and Re-
publicans, too. There isn't a furnished
minds and wide experience that fits them
to the positions to which they have been
named. Readers, look them over, view
them from patriotic standpoint and the
public needs, and if you are Democrat,
see if you can resist them, and if you be q
Republican, if you ought to vote OF
work against thehl.

Thomas M. Ferret, when a member o
the Forty-eighth Congress, was largely
instrumental in enacting the law to pro-
hibit the importation of Foreign Labor
under contract; indeed, the first section Of
that law as it stands to-day was drafted
by him. Where would the miners o.
Pennsylvania be to-day in their fight
against the Coal Trust if that law was NO
on the statute books Where would unior
labor be? 1t is well to remember som,
things as you go along, voters.

Wilson T. Jones' candidacy for Sheriff
bears the list of calm scrutiny. A COM
petent, energetic, upright business man, he
will do for the Republican voters what
they have not been able to accomplish
themselves -smash the Office holders Trust.
As to how he will conduct the office il
elected, we quote his own words from his
speech of acceptance. eff elected 1 will dc
all in my power to promote the interests o.
the Office to the people of Gloucester Co
without favor OF partiality." That means
that he will be economical and impartial III
his administrative duties, and that is just
what the people desire-no more, no less.

To the editor Of the post-Teleora,a.

To the editor Of the Post Telegram.
With your kind permission and indul
gence l would request you to publish thu
following open letter =
HON. HENRY G. LOUDENSLAGER.
Sir:-On the 4th day of next March yor
will have been member.o Congress fol
ten years. You claim that you have fifty
represented the First Congressional District
of New Jersey during all that time, and
you are asking your constituents to retain
you for another term.
Your justification for this request mus
be your performance in Congress. Nc
other plea will profit you at this time
There is no Presidential ticket to carry you
to reelection, and you must not only face
the public needs of the hour, but you must
also tell your constituents how you have
voted on the questions of the past ter
years.
Once every two years, Mr.. Loudensager,
the people have the right to audit your
accounts as Congressman from the First
District, and at the present time they will
not accept your assurances that your ae-
cunts are FALL right" The people-voters
of the new First Congressional district
want to see the books, Mr.. Loudenslager.
They feel that ten years is long enough
time to wait for an account of stock and an
analysis of book balances.
OPEN THE BOOKS.
Now, Mr.. Loudenslager, instead of claim
ing that your possession of the office for
the past ten years is an all-suficient reason
why you should be returned for two years
more, why not be honest and invite your
constituents to inspect your record? Tell
your constituents to go to any public
library, take down the volumes of the
Congressional Records for the years that
you have been in Congress and look up
your account. Tell them here in Camden,
to 90 to the Free Public Library, on Cooper
street, and look up the facts. Tell them to
take down the index to any session of Con-
gress and, turning to the name Louden-
slayer, look up the pages of your accout.
What will the account show for your
past term in Congress, or, say, for the
Fifty-six Congress and the first session OF
the Fifty-seventh Congress Let us see:
We find that during the first session OF
the Fifty-sixth Congress, or from December
4, 1899, to June Z, 1900, you did not
introduce in the House of Representatives
any measure of any sort looking to the
benefit of either organized labor or the
farmers. We find, further, that of the
twenty-five bills, resolutions and amend
ments introduced by you nineteen wer'
for private claims and pensions, while thu
| other six were for matters of no value tt
your district.
During the second session of the Fifty
sixth Congress, or from December 3, 1900
to March 4, 1901, you did not introduc
any measure of any sort looking to tn
benefit Of either organized labor or tn
farmers. But, you did show some interes
in the labor question. On matter of vita

The law contemplates a term of three
years for the Sheriff. The merry -go-round
scheme of the ofice-holders Trust simply
circumvents the law If its bad thing to
elect Sheriff's for so short term, why not
repeal the law, and go straight. Elect
Wilson T. Jones Sheriff and this Trust is
killed.
