and he was particular not to say any
thing that was true. He declared among
other things that Col. Dickinson placed
the voting machines in the Second and
Fifth wards for the purpose of keeping
down the Pagan vote and that his action
was prompted by Robert Davis.
Carey doesn't like Col. Dickinson any
more. In fact. his dislike for the Repub-
lican leader is so great that in his address
he referred to him as Sammy" There
was time not very long ago either, that
the Corporation Attorney would take off
his hat in the presence of the Colonel.
That, of course, was before George Rec
ard decided that, Mayor Pagan should
cut loose from the Republican organiza-
tion and conduct an independent cam
paign. If the Mayor and the Colonel
were to become friends again Carey
would be one of the first to tip his hat
to the leader and he wouldn't address
him as Sammy either. 1t would be
How do you do, Colonel?" And'these
are the kind of men who boast of their
independence and sincerity. They are
about as sincere as they are grateful.

the voting machines? If there is any
cause for complaints the Democrats are
the ones who should make the howl. Ac-
t,ording to the Pagan campaign mana
gers the machines tend to lessen the per-
centage of split tickets. Are they afraid
that some Second and Third Ward Dem
ocrats will vote the straight Republican
ticket? Evidently the Fagan managers
want the Kaiser vote kept as low as pos
sible.
Col Dickinson refers to Mayor Fa-
gan's letter printed Monday as mere
clap trap He told reporters who sought
any sleep over what Pagan or Record
said and would give the letter his atten-
tlon in due time Friends of Mayor Fa-
gan were hoping that the controversy
was at an end, but it is understood that
the Colonel has trump card up his
sleeve that he will play when he thinks
the time opportune. If George Record,
who is only recent convert to Republi-
c,lnism, thinks for a moment that he is
going to drive the Colonel out of the
party he has been loyal member of ever
since he cast his first ballot he will be as
badly mistaken as he is in his belief that
he will be able to fool the people in this
campaign as he did in the one of two
years ago.
Mayor Pagan would make a great polk
er player. He is certainly the limit at
making bluffs. He wouldn't get away
with many pots though if Archibald NJ.
Henry happened to be in the game with
him. Henry doesn't like buffers and
calls them at every stage.
Mayor Fagan's Hoboken organ says
xth,s corporations would gladly give ST.
00c, 700 to have the Mayor defeated. The
organ is away off in its figures. The
amount should be $50.000OOO, And the
corporations are not the only ones that
went to have the Mayor defeated. Ad-
miters of President Theodore Roosevelt
ard even more anxious to have the Mayor
retired to private life They know that
his reelection to the Mayoralty will con-
vince the people of the United States
that George Record is right in his opinion
that Fagan is bigger man than Presi-
defIt Roosevelt and the Republican party.
John C. Kaiser's friends will hardly
recognize him after the election. The
word has gone forth from the Pagan
camp that Kaiser must be slashed to
pielses. The Republican leaders Will be
given to understand that they cannot
nominate candidate distasteful to Geo.
T. Record and expect him to survive the
battle The Fagan knives are sharp and
long and are guaranteed to do effective
work.

publican who was one of Mayor Fagan's
most effective Supporters two years ago,
insists that Mayor Pagan received and
failed to account for contribution from
James Smith, the Newark Democrat, in
his campaign of four years ago. Mr..
Renner issues this challenge to the
Mayor
Notwithstanding Mayor Mark NJ. Fa-
gan's denial. the charge that he received
Iz$1 800 from ex-senator Smith is true,
and ] here and now reiterate it.
y fully realize that the charge as
made it against Mayor Pagan at Lin
coin Hall on Friday night was actiona-
Bile. He knows that it was actionable.
That being 50, invite him to sue me
for damages, on condition that he join
with ME in petition to the court to try
I the suit before election day. This would
afford me the opportunity | court to
prove that Mayor Fagan did accept cam
| paigll money from ex-United States SEN
ator James Smith.
II need hardly remind Mayor Pagan
I that / am perfectly good for any amount
| of damages he might be awarded in the
event of winning his suit Ny property,
as the Mayor doubtless knows, or. if not,
ean easily ascertain, is all in my own
