The Republican nominees are so
much better fitted to fill the posi-
tons for which they are nominated
than are their opponents that it
would seem almost impossible to
defeat them 1t should be remem-
bered, however, that votes are
necessary to elect the very best of
men and even such men as Voor-
hees. Hillery and Baker may be
defeated should the Republicans of
this county fail to do their duty on
election day Even if you are con
hdent of their election that is no
reason why you should not vote for
them. Let every Republican in
every election district see to it that
he votes himself and that his neigh
Dor does likewise.

We Fail to understand why the
members of the New York Board OF
Education should have been thrown
into 'a state of CONSERVATION, as a
daily paper had it, by the assertion in
report made to them by a physician
that the average rate of increase in
the number of babies in Manhattan
had grown from five to eleven an
hour, or to one baby about every five
minutes. This is only new and
somewhat novel way Of stating a
truth with which almost everybody is
familiar, namely, that we are living
in strenuous times, and that New
York is a great, growing, and a
nightly progressive city. Last
year, according to this same author
ity, who seems to speak with excel
lent knowledge, about ffty-fve
thousand new babies were reported in
the boroughS of Manhattan and the
Bronx, and while the statistics for
this year will not be ready until next
January, this doctor found, so he
says, that during the first three
months of this year there had been an
increase Of six babies to the hour

There is a scheme afoot among
Democrats of this county to con-
centrate all their efforts for the de-
feat of Charles A. Baker for Assem-
bly,. They realize that they can
not possibly defeat either Messrs.
Voorhees, or Hillery and are trying
to stir up feeling against Mr..
Baker. This is almost as hopeless
a task as to try to defeat either OF
the others, but they are using any
and all means to attain this end.
Don't let them inveigle you into
doing any trading Don't let them
fool you into voting for any one oil
them on the plea that they "just
want to make a good showing. y
The game is an old one and has
been worked so often that it should
have lost all its deceptive qualities
Mr., Baker is a man from the
ground up He is Morris county
man through and through. He
not. only sleeps in Morris county

is known to be man who can be
depended on in every way and il
far more desirable as representa-
tive Of Morris county interests thar
either of his opponents could evel
hope to be.

The story of alleged Republican
disaffection over the Republican
nominees for county offices is as
old as Democratic defeats 1t is a
story that has been told us by the
Democratic press as regularly as
fall has rolled around. No one has
taken any stock in it. And no one,
therefore, will be surprised when
the returns of election day show
that the Republican ticket has re-
Ceived not only the full Republi-
can vote but the vote of many
Democrats as we'll.

The Jefferson-L Lincoln party is called
into existence by the necessity of the
people, whose industries are not salts
factory and whose labor is deprived Of
its just rewards by the ruinous policies
of the political leaders, and in view Of
the failure of these political manipu
lators TO furnish relief to the depressed
industries of the country, thereby
disappointing the just hopes and ex-
pectations of a suffering people. We
declare our principles and invite all
patriotic men to join our ranks and
perpetuate the principles of Thomas
Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.
First-An honest, fearless, uncon-
trolled judiciary.
Second-The fullest educational
privileges for all.
Third-The preservation for the
people of all franchises which should
inure to their benefit, thus removing
from political spoils the chief source
of existing corruption.
Fourth-A strict adherence to the
principles under which our independ-
ence as a nation was achieved, namely,
that all government derives it's just
power from the consent of the gov
erned.
Fifth-A just administration of laws
in protection of the poor equally with
the rich.
Sixth-We inscribe on Four banner,
equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none"
Upon this platform we present to
the people of Morris county, State of
New Jersey, as candidates of Boonton,
N. j., William T. Gardner, Smith W.
Burnett, for members of Assembly !;
for County Clerk, Martin J. Hennion !;
and we invite all citizens who agree
with these principles laid down in the
above platform to remember us on the
next coming election, November 3,
1902, as we desire purer politics and
better government.
Respectfully,
WILLIAM L. GARDNER,
SMITH W. BURNETT,
MARTIN j. HENNIoN.
After a careful reading of the
above it would seem as though the
members of the Jefferson-L jim
coin party we're good Republicans
and didn't know it. Under the
Republican policy this country al
ready enjoys the First, Second"
Third, {" Fourth" "Fifth' and
Sixth" of the above. The only
possible excuse for the foregoing
effusion seemers to be that the signs
failed to receive a proper recogni
lion from either the Republican,
Democratic or Prohibition parties
at their county conventions.
