had urged him not to allow John G..
| Kaiser to be nominated for Sheriff be-
cause he believed Kaiser was not the
right kind of man for the office and
how he wanted to run for Assembly in
Robert Scott's place.
s1'he bunch want me to take the
| Assembly nomination" Dickinson said
Record told him. adding that he knew if
| he We're elected he would make his
mark in the Legislative halls. After he
had received the nomination Record was
going TO challenge Senator Minsurn to a
1 joint debate knowing he said, he would
make a monkey" OF the Hoboken man.
This was all very nice, but the Colonel
did not look at it in the same light as
the City Hall bunch. He declined to
/ interfere with the plans Of the delegates
TO nominate Kaiser and Scott, and the
two men whoms Record had marked for
slaughter are 70 be sacrificed for Fagan
! if it is in the power of Recora and 9TH
ers of the City Hall bunch to do so.
/ Col. Dickinson doesn't often talk
! about his political plans bus whenever
! he opens his mouth he is clever enough
! not to put his feet in it. He talked a
! lot yesterday and what he said was
right to the point and furnished an inter-
!! esting chapter to the pe:itieal les:s OF
; the campaign. After dsrssipS IF Mr..
Record he explained Wy be had himself

one familiar with politics will need TO do
much guessing as to who made the rom

As if this was not hot enough stuff
! the Colonel threw it into the City Hall
| bunch good and strong by declaring that
| the campaign funds this year would be
used in the interest not of Mark Pagan
! alone, but the entire Republican ticket
! This sounds like rank treason To think
that all of the candidates are to have
| the campaign funds and that Colonel
Dickinson and the organization is to fight
for the election of a Sheriff and other
officers as well as the Mayor of Jersey
City! No wonder the three musketeers
and the City Hall bunch are abusing
Col. Dickinson and the members of the
Republican County Committee
If any Republican wants to witness a
| genuine political love feast, let him drop
into Elks' Fall tonight Harmony will

knife will be needed to cut into it. 1t

and twelve men will besnamed or Assem-
blymen who will fight for equal taxation
and other laws. in to- interest of the
people from start to finish. John J..

candidate for Mayer against James ].
/ Murphy two years ago will preside and
! John J. Heavev who was the unsuccess-
full candidate for Sheriff at the recent

Seymour of his earnest support.
/ Mr.. Treacya said yesterday that the
issue in the present campaign would be
equal taxation, as it has been for fifteen
4 years.
measure he added Since the time it
first became an issue it has beenNsup-
ported by the Democratic party. In
victory and defeat they have stood by
that issue
In the entire fifteen years it has been
a question before the people of the
! State it has been untiringly opposed by
the Republican party. They have de-
clared for it in their platforms. but they
have voted against every equal taxation
bill that has been introduced at Trenton.
While this question has to do with
the people of the entire State its ef-
feet applies particularly to the people
of Hudson County This is. perhaps, the
county that win benefit most by tht
adonfipn Of san equal TAX law. As a
resident Of Hudson County / have the
interest of the people efnthis part Of the
State at heart, and when was asked TO
4 preside at The Democratic conventions ]
decided that. as a citizen, / could best
help the cause of equal. taxation by
cepting the invitation.
The only hope of those who believe
in equal taxation is in the election of q
Democratic Assembly ticket. The peo-
pie of Hudson County have nothing to
hope for from the Republican party on
