PLEASE ANSWER YES, OR NO
[From PauIsboro Pres, RepubIican.

For three years the people of
Gloucester County have been en-
deavoring to throw off John Boyd
Avis as their representative and put
IN his place one in whom they have
greater confidence IT is generally
believed that it has required a small
fortune each year to enable John
Boyd to be elected. The people of
Gloucester County are wondering
whence this money comes. Five
years ago Mr. Avis was poor law
student. AS a lawyer he has not
achieved any unusual reputation or
practice. His salary as assembly
man is but FIVE hundred dollars per
year. 1t has probably cost him on
an average $1,000 per year to be
nominated and elected. Either Mr.
Avis furnishes this money or it is
| furnished by someone interested in
retaining him in his official posi-
ton. IF Mr.. Avis furnishes the
money, how can he, from FIVE hun
Edred salary, expend five thousand to
maintain himself in his official posi-
ton IF the money comes from
other sources there must be some
return for the money and that re
turn is purchased at the expense Of
the County.
IF Mr.. Avis would instruct his
Camden County menial to explain
through the paper that he gets out
for Avis, how he (Avis) comes into
possession of this money aud why
it is furnished, he would be helping
the people to so.ve a mystery that
has bothered them for several years.
While Mr.. Avis is answering
this, he might also explain why,
since the returns for 1905 show that
he was not fairly nominated he con-
tinues on the ticket of a party that
repudiated him.
Again, Mr.. Avis might explain
whether, since the ring Of which he
is the representative, sold out the
senatorship three years ago when a
United States Senator was at stake,
I it would be proper for the people
now to repudiate him at the polls
as rebuke for that action
We would also like Mr.. Avis to
answer this Did Theodore Roose-
velt when he declared SO far from
asking that you be lenient in your
Judgment of any public man, I hold
that you are recreant to your duty
Iif you are thus lenient. Do not be
lenient but do be 5ust. IF YOU
HAVE GOOD REASON TO BE
ILIEVE THAT HE IS COR
RUPT THEN REFUSE UNDER
ANY PLEA OF PARTY EX-
PEDIENCY, UNDER A NY
CONSIDERATION, TO RE
FRAN FROM SMITING HIM
WITH THE SWORD OF THE
lord AND OF GIDEON :
Enunciate good Republican doc
trine? If SO, is Republican who
believes that Avis sold out the
party three years ago, that he was
not fairly nominated at the recent
primary election and that he is re
ceiving money from corporations in
this State to be used in securing his
election to the office to which he
aspires in duty bound ITO smite
him with the Sword of the Lord
and of Gideon.

had such fine prospects for a large
school as he has for the session be-
ginning next month. His capacity
is so boarding pupils and indications
point to a crowded building, Last

pills, but this time is expecting an in
crease of 40 to so per cent. A large
number of his new pupils will be
from the Southern States. The

wise improved.
