Jersey City Journal:
Just look at those crowds down in
Richmond bowling for Our Teddy"
Not one word about race prejudice
or rep%ublicanism or s~ectionalism.
Just Our Teddy and no wonder.
He is ours" to every good Amer
lean, and the southerners are good
Americans as a rule. 1t is not an
easy matter for an average Amer
lean to stand in a crowd listening
to the president without being moved
to swing his hat and say, bully for
you" or words to that effect, and to
say it with all his strength.
Camden Courier:
This will be an active week politi-
cally in New Jersey. Tomorrow will
be the last day when voters may be
legally registered in cities of oyer
so, 900 population, and the indica-
lions are that in nearly every city
there will be an unusually large
registry for IN off year. This is
occasioned by local contests inaugu-
rated by faction and not for the sake
of principles. which has encouraged
democratic leaders to hope there may
he q chance to slip into power in GER
tain localities. The outlook through
out the State, however, shows no
symptoms of distintegration of re-
publican sentiment, despite the eff
forts of a few indictments whose
grievance is purely personal. The in
dications are that the republicans
will gain three state senator's in
Gloucester, Salem and Somerset,
which will establish a large majority
in that conservative branch of the
legislature. There is a probability
the democrats may make a gain of
one or two in the assembly. but there
is also a probability that the republic
cans may do the same thing, which
would offset the loss, and have the
majority in the popular branch OF
the legislature about what it is now,
thirty.
There seems to be a renewal OF
former Senator James Smiths tao
tics to capture as many sheriff offices
as possible, and the democracy IS
making a strenuous effort to elect
their candidates in Camden, Burling-
ton, Gloucester and Monmouth coun-
ties. The republicans of these coun-
ties. however, are we'll informed OF
the game being played, and are conf
dent they will elect their candidates
for sheriff and the entire ticket. The
work of this and next week will be
vigorously prosecuted, as it ought to
be, as only lethargy will afford the
democratic schemers and their allies
a hone for success. And this suggests
that every man entitled to vote at the
next election should be registered to-
morrow afternoon. Neglect to do so
will show bad citizenship.
Elizabeth Journal.
Elizabeth is not the only city to
try and be on the safe side in the
matter of the Hillery tax act. a
sales common council has decided to
submit next years tax rate to a ref
erendum, as provided by the act, and
has fixed the tax rate for hat city al
$3.50. The Hillery act will become
operative January l, 1906. IL 1t re-
mains on the statute books until the
tax levies of 1906 are levied it will
prevent cities levying a tax in excess
of $1.70. There is a referendum
clause for submitting the question oil
a higher rate to a popular vote,
Elizabeth and Passaic are to take adj
vantage of that section of the law
but elsewhere this question is raised
viii a vote of the people on the taS
|, rate for next year, taken next month
before the Hillery law goes into
7, eff6ctl protect a city from the new
rate? E~lizabeth's legal advice Il
that it will, or, at any rate it is 1
wise %precaution to take.
