Champion Of Equal Taxation
Opened the Democratic
Campaign In Newark
Last Night.
REAFFIRMED PRINCIPLES
EQUALITY IN TAXATION AS
BURNING A QUESTION AS EVER
BEFORE - CORRUPTION MUST
BE UPROOTED.

The Democratic campaign opened last
night in Essex County with meeting at
the Orange Street Auditorium. Charles
c. Black was the chief speaker. He was
given big ovation, as was Julian A.
Gregory who is Everett Colby's adver-
sary, ard the other candidates.
Mr.. Black reaffirmed the principle of
equal taxation. and declared that while
the campaign of last year was not sue
cessful the principle on which it was
fought was not defeated, but lives as
vital issue until it shall find place on
the statute books.
Mr.. Black said
sThe events of the last year and the
subsequent ones of the spring and sum
mer. following in quick succession, have
demonstrated to the people of the State
a peril and danger that threaten the life
of the Republic. The exposure in the
city of Philadelphia, the secret alliance
of the great insurance companies of the
City of New York with the party in
power, and the managers of trust funds
for political purposes, if not checked, will
destroy popular government.
1t is the mission of the Democratic
party to elevate the standards of pub
lie life, to destroy the alliance that now
exists between the public service and
railroad corporations and the party boss,
to restore to the people representative
government. Until this is done popular
measures such as equal taxation and
limited franchises are idle dreams and
academic discussions.
.'The time has come for the Democrat
ic party to add to its issue the passage
of corrupt practice act by which it
shall be made crime for corporation
manager to contribute trust funds for
political purposes and TO compel the
party organizations to publish list of
their subscriptions and expenditures.
Corporations doing business or char
tered under the State violating its pro-
visions should be subject to forfeiture,
and defeated candidate should be given
right of action and forfeiture against
his successful rival when the act has
been violated
Candidate Gregory took "Thou shalt
not bluff'' as text to ridicule the Colby
reform movement, declaring it to be a
collection Of all the disgruntled ex-office-
holders of the Republican party in Es-

A delegation from the Seventh Ward

Estate and other property owners wh0
control three hundred lots in the vicinity
of Miles street, which lots have remained
idle for twenty-five years on account Of

J. Currie. in addition to demanding q
sewerage system, declared that the City
should reserve the right to cross under
the Railroad property at any time ii
found it necessary to reach the Morris
Canal in carrying out a sewerage drain-
age system. !
The Board listened intently to all the
arguments presented and the matter was
finally referred to the Committee on

CINCH FOR HENRY

When such prominent Republican as
Daniel Fitzhenry who, during the last
campaign was the Republican candidate
for County Supervisor and who was de-
feated by Otto Wittpenn, the Democrats
ic nominee, comes out openly and states;
that he thinks that the Democratic party
will carry Mayor Fagan's own Ward,
the Fifth, why, one would judge that
almost every Republican in the county
has given up hope # Mr. Fitzhenry is
any judge or forecaster, which he is
conceded to be. why. in the language of
Jimmy Fadder," It looks like a cinch
for Henry and the balance Of the Demo-
cratic ticket.

c. B. |. IN SESSION

The condition of the Catholic Benevo-
lent Legion, in reference to its financial
condition, the effect of a large number or
Withdrawals because of the raise in rates,
and plans for inducing new members to
join, We're among the things considered at
the annual session of the State body of
that organization at New Brunswick to-
day.
Reports were made showing that the
legion is in better financial shape than
ever. before, in spite of the loss of about
thirty per cent. of its members, and this
fact was urged as reason why there
should be an effort made to get in new
members.
Since the revision of the insurance
rates of the legion year ago, which re
visios amounting to large increase, was
declared to be necessary if the organiza-
ton was to continue III existence. there
have been many Withdrawals of old mem
hers who declined to pay the increased
rates. The percentage of Withdrawals
throughout the State. according to Su-
preme Treasurer James A. Rowe. has
been thirty on the average, though in in
dividual councils in some instances it is
&hn11 10 Tr, <..4 A..
councils where over seventy-fve per cent.
of the members withdrew.
There is some feeling of apprehension
because of this on the part of some. but
there is no need Of worry, according to
Mr.. Rowe, who says he is convinced that
the order will flourish financially if the
membership drops to 500 in this country.
while there will no longer be necessity
for a change of rates if the membership
goes to half million.
The supreme president, Richard B.
Tibbetts, of Baltimore. spoke and dwelt
on the spccess<of the finances in the last
year. This is advanced as an argument
why old members should revive their
policies and new members join. Plans
for reaching and securing new members
will probably be devised.
An old time revival is to be planned
whereby a series of meetings will be held
to reach those members who have with
drawn,

MERELY
MENTIONED D

Mayor Fagan's second letter In the
controversy with Col. Dickinson. issued
yesterday, was not as peppery as the firsr
one. 1t fell below expectations. This is
accounted for by the fact that Corpora

conceded, prepared the letter. is busy inst
now. He is hard at work on two
speeches for the Elks Hall meeting
Thursday night. One Of the speeches he
is writing for Mayor Fagan. The other
he is preparing for himself.

1t was intended that the Mayor should
not reply by letter to Col Dickinsoil's
defence of his attitude in urging that
some part Of the campaign fund should
be used TO help elect the county cansli-
dates. The Mayors cabinet had advised
that he defer an answer until the Elks

take another crack at the Colonel by the

Colonel making reply in time for the
Mayor to answer it from the platform

He defends his administration and de,

been failure. He tells of his efforts
and the efforts of Record to arouse public
sentiment throughout the State for Equal
Taxation but neglects to say why, if he
was sincere in his advocacy of that great
issue, he supported and voted for Ed
ward G. Stokes in preference to Charles

from one end of the State to the other

expected that the Mayor had sufficient
ammunition to annihilate the Colonel
there was nothing in the letter that would
cause the Republican leader whom the
Mayor and Record are determined te de-
stroy, to turn a hair. 1t was mainly
a reiteration of the former charges that
Col. Dickinson is how or was in the enn-
ploy of the Public Service Corporation

Mayors first attack denied the charge
Now the Mayor wants proof. He was
the one who made the charge. yet lie

shouting themselves hoarse against the
corporations for political effect the Rat
con campaign committee is appealing to
the corporations for funds to conduct the
campaign. The Western Union Teler
graph Company, Of which George Gould
is at the head. has been asked by tho

dough-bag. Other big corporations have
received copies of the so-called Equal
Taxation Committees begging circular,
Bacon. the treasurer Of the committee
and to whom all checks are sent is tho
president of the Board Of Tax Conmis-
sioners. Contributions from the big corr
porations are as welcome as they are
