STOKES A DISAPPOINTMENT.
From the Paterson News. Ind,

From the Paterson News. Indl,
Edward Casper Stokes, the railroad and
corporation candidate for governor of New
Jersey, spoke in Paterson last week. And
a leading Republican summed up the re-
suits of his visit in these words: Stokes is
disappointment / expected he would
tell us all about equal taxation and Wood
Mckee led us to expect that he would do
SO. But instead of that he described in
glowing periods how he had rescued Cuba
and the Philippines from the cruel govern
ment of Spain and how glorously we had
restored peace to poor China. =
Now, if Mr. Stokes was candidate for
congress. or president, or any place where
be would have the least thing to do with
China it would be all right. But Mr.
Stokes is running for governor of this State
And If he should be elected he will have
nothing to do with the affairs of the far
east but will be a mighty power for good or
evil in New Jersey 1t is remarkable that
Mr.. Stokes said but little, and that little
was mighty unsatisfactory about the ques-
tion of equal taxation.
That is something that comes directly
home to every citizen of this state whether
he pays poll tax or a few dollars on his
humble household furniture or a large tax
on real and personal property. In either
case he pays S25 for each 81 900 of property
for which he is assessed
But the railroad, canal and other cor
porations paw only S. per 81, 600 of assessed
value. To do away with this unjust dis
elimination Mr.. Black, Stokes opponent, is
pledged by the platform upon which he
was nominated and by his personal pledge
to the people of the state. man does not
earn his dollars as a Democrat or a Republic
can. Unless, as in Stokes case, he is an
office-holder, who has enjoyed for years rich
pickings at the public crib and who has
never been too nice in his choice of meth
DDS to increase them. The tax gathered
collects taxes from all, and if the voters
prefer Mr.. Stokes they will have to endorse
the methods of taxation that Stokes stands
for, and which methods he didn't say a
word against in his address to the voters of
Paterson.
Stokes was a disappointment But did
anybody who knew the man and his politi-
cal associations except him to denounce the
corporation influences through which he has
grown rich and which influences are behind
his candidacy and the direct cause of it !?
The people of New Jersey don't care a
rap for China. But they are nightly
interested in equal taxation, the subject
that Mr. Stokes didn't discuss and in re-
lation to which Mr. Stokes himself is the
issue to-day.
Stokes had the chance to tell the people
of Paterson that he favored their cause as
against the favored corporations. He did
not do it. He talked about China instead.
Now, when the overtaxed Patersonian casts
his vote election day, if he is interested in
China he will vote for Stokes But if be is
interested in New Jersey and wants all
the property in the state taxed equally he
will vote for Black

1t seems that Editor Albright considers an
investment in the stock Of the Constitution
corporation not an honorable one, because he
has dug deep into the bile Of his organism to
resent the statement made in these columns
last week. that Messrs. Watkins and Avis
were large holders of Constitution stock
Mr.. Albright denies the truth of the state
ment with all the strength of his bowels
yet it is common information that Mr.. Avis
Is President Of the Constitution Company,
and il he is, the most important news item in
the Constitution this week is that the Pres
fdent is only a figure head While Mr..
Albright was about it, why didn't he tell
his readers who is the Constitution Com
pany. and as he is friendly with Mr.. Avis,
