THE suggestion that former Presi-
dent Cleveland would take the stump
and deliver speech or two in this
State for Parker certainly is not based
on past experience, says a writer in
the New York Herald The only
political speech Mr.. Cleveland has de-
livered in New Jersey in many years
was at Morristown in the congression-
al campaign of 1902. Speaking about
it at the time, Mr.. Cleveland said:
*" l have togo to Morristown tonight
to make a speech for De Witt Clinton
Flanagan. was foolish to consent to
do it, but Mi. Flanagan is my friend,
and it was difficult to resist. But
am already paying the penalty of COM
plaisance.
colonel Perrine and his friends Of
Trenton, are badgering me with inn
portunities to make just one speech
for him; but can't do it. / must
draw the lines right here and stop,
and | will never be dragooned into
stump speaking again"
Morris county that year gave 1922
Republican plurality against Mr. Flan-
agan, whereas the year before it had
only given $50 Republican plurality
for Murphy for governor.

MAINE AND VERMONT.


Maine and Vermont will hold their
elections next month pioneers Of the
Republican victory In November.
Maine in the earlier days was point
er, for the reason that her voters were
inclined to experiment. but at every
election in the past thirty years Maine
has steadily gone Republican. But
four years ago the Democrats received
but "a, $50. votes in September, 1896,
whereas in 1892 they polled over
81, 900; in 1883 over $1,000; in 1876 over
10000. Thus the average Republican
plurality in Presidential years from
1876 on the Maine gubernatorial ticket
is about 1900. In 1880 the opposition
carried the State by a small plurality,
but Garfield carried the national
ticket by 5000 plurality.
Vermont is also fixed in it's loyalty
to Republicanism. The Democrats in
their widest dreams cannot expect to
carry either of these States, but Chair
man Taggart in arranging to send
SPEAKERS TO both these States is APP
pafently hoping to cut down the Re-
publican vote for the influence in Nov
ember. His move, however, is to be
vigorously met by the Republicans.
The national committee is to wage
the campaign for a big vote in both
States. In addition to Vice-Presi-
Dental Candidate Fairbanks, Speaker
Cannon and three or four Of the Cab
met officers, other distinguished ora
tors will take the stump and there
will be every effort made to bring out
the full Republican vote SO that when
the news for these two down East
States is heralded the inspiration and
example will have a rousing effect on
the voters in other States. Elizabeth

The New York Times, Z with
characteristic frankness, takes the
Democratic speakers and papers to
task because they do not come out
openly for free trade, in the guise OF
tariff revision. 1t says
The Democrats may as well drop
the tariff issue if they cannot discuss
it like men with robust conviction.
They will win no votes by paltering
with the subject. This is a year for
plain speech. The voters Of this coun-
try are without exception adults. The
tariff discussion thus far heard in the
campaign seems to have been adj
dressed to a nursery audience.
There isno virtue in proclamations
OF policy invariably accompanied by
the neutralizing declaration that you
don't mean word you say. With the
perfect frankness of friend we must
say that chat was what was the
matter with the tariff paragraphs of
Judge PARKER S speech Of acceptance.
There was no pledge, no promise, no
affirmative declaration of Democratic,
opposition to the extortions, the pri-
sSvatesfavcrs andpublit outrages Of the
Dingley tariff.
The Times 4 comes to the con
clusion that the Democrats have no
moral backbone on the subject OF
tariff revision and had better say
nothing about it.

Captain Jack Crawford, the poet
scout, at meeting of the East Side
Republican Club recently made a hit
when he sang the following verses tc
the tune of Marching Through
Georgia. "
Mary had little lamb, she loved 1t every
minute;
She washed it In the spring time and
sheared the wool TO spin ~.
But Grover took the tariff of, then Mary
had to skin it;
Since we were marching through

Those who desire to figure on the
Presidential election must bear in
mind that the electoral vote Of 1904
has been changed by the new appor-
tionment Of representatives under the
census Of 1900. The number Of Presi-
DENTAL electors has been increased to
476, instead Of AT as in the last two
elections. OF this increase, the South
gains 8; the East, 8; the Middle West,
2, and the Far West, 4. BY States,
the changes are as follows: Arkansas
from s to 8, California from 8 to 10,
Colorado from 4 to s, Illinois from "a
to n, Louisiana from to 9, Massa-
chusetts from Is to 16, Minnesota
from 8 to IL, Mississippi from 8 to 10,
Missouri from IT to Is, New Jersey
from 10 to IL, New York from SO to
80, North Carolina from IL to IL,
North Dakota from 3 to 4, Pennsyl-
vania from 30 to "a, Texas from Is to
Is, Washington from to 5, West
Virginia from TO 7, Wisconsin from
II to 13. AS this increase is largely
from States counted for the RepuDli-
cans, it is believed that it is to the
advantage Of the Republicans; but il
New York, New Jersey and Connecti.
cut should be carried by the Demo
Gratis, the majority Of the 20 added
votes would be furnished by those
States and the South. --P atersor

THn cans for the Republican State.

THE calls for the Republican States
Congressional and County Conxe ntions
appear In this issue. Under the basis
LOT representation Morris county win
be entitled to thirty-six delegates in
the State Convention although they
will cast but tfiirty-two votes while
the Congressional and County Converl+
tions will have sixty-seven delegates
each. At the primaries to be held on
Tuesday, September 18th, these dele
gates will be elected. Under the law
the primaries will be conducted by
the election boards of the several
townships and municipalities, each par
ty having aseparate ballot box, and al
though every polling district will hold
an election the delegates will be
chosen for the township town, bor-
ough or ward as the case may be and
not for the election district. The bal
lots will be prepared by the Township
or Municipal Clerk, and in order to
have ballots prepared petition must
be presented to the clerk signed by at
least ten voters Of the party for which
delegates are to be elected. 1t will be
necessary to have petitions for each
set of delegates, which this year num-
Der three State, Congressional and
County Conventions although the
same voters may sign all the petitions.
In order that every one may have an
opportunity to make a choice for dele
gates the Republican County Commit
teemen will have forms of the petit
lions which any one interested may
have upon application to any member
of the County Committee or at the Re
publican headquarters. 1t is, there
fore, a very simple matter for any one
who is not satisfied with the delegates
his neighbors have asked for to- circu-
late a petition and place others in
nomination. All petitions must be
filed with the clerks at least ten days
previous to the primary meeting,
Which makes Saturday, September Sd,
the last day. AS the coming elections
are important every voter should in
terest himself and see that representa-
tive men are selected as delegates and
then go to the primaries.
