WHO WOULD CONTROL STATE !


It Is time for the people Of New Jer-
sey to "get down to cases" In this po-
litical campaign. Let them throw the
cold light of fact upon the situation.
On nationali issues the Democrats
long since threw up their hands, They
nominated Alton B. Parker on a plat
form that was makeshift and
'raud. 1t stood for nothing; their can
didate stood for nothing. Both have
toppled to earth like house Of cards
On the other hand, enthusiasm for
Theodore Roosevelt is sweeping the
country from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific. His stand on every question is
well known. His courage, honesty and
manliness, his broad ability as a states

electoral vote given to president since
the beginning Of the Republican party.
There Is not a single reason why Ed
ward G. Stokes, the Republican candi-

every salutary piece Of legislation that
stands to the credit of Republican adj
ministration during the last ten years,
or since the ''old gang Of Democratic
frauds and boodlers we're driven out Of
the statehouse at Trenton by an in
dignant people,
Mr.. Stokes goes before the people to-

First, as to issues, they are making
their light on what they call equal
taxation. But for them it is a stolen
issue. 1t was originated by Republic

might use to blur their way back In
to power. They are making promises
absolutely impossible of fulfillment
They have no notion Of keeping those
