A circular. bearing the printed name
of f. NJ Tillinghast. the Democratic can
ddate for the house OF representatives
from Exeter, advises the voters OF that
town to accept Boss Brayton's corruption
fund and then vote as they please.
on one side of the circular is printed
"E. NJ. Tillinghast. State Representatives
for Exeter" on the other side is the fol-
lowing
"Why am / up?
Because no one else would run
Because there should be a Democratic
ticket for three reasons:
THAT those who are against boss rule
by corruption might register their pro-
test.
THAT the Republican machine hay
have TO send more money TO Exeter.
THAT a larger Democratic vote may be
gotten out. thereby helping the state
ticket
"why should Democrats vote for me?
Because we believe in the same prin-
ciples.
Because If elected II would mean vote
for a Democrat to replace our present
silent, trust-voting United States senator.
why should the boys who take money
vote for me?
Because an election on close vote for
me would mean higher price next time,
and IL sbad enough to he called corrupt
without being called cheap and foolish.
Take your money and vote your choice.

the best interests Of my town and state.
Because have not and will not in
dulge in bribery or other criminal acts.

instruction TO" the voters on how 10
mark their ballots. so that they may
be counted as intended.
IT has been learned within a few days
that some OF the most intelligent men In
the state professional and business men,
are hopelessly confused by this Brayton
instrument for counteracting the will OF
the people. and that they will welcome
such meetings eveu more than will the
workingmen who generally vote straight.
OF course, II is recognized that most
voters who intend to deal an effective
blow at Braytonism will. like Col God
dard, vote the straight Democratic ticket
this fall by placing their cross in the cir
Gle under the Democratic star; but there
are thousands-there were 5000 In the
campaign OF two years ago-who may
vote a split ticket, and IL Is these voters

Ten years ago there were 800. 565
more single than married women in
the jurisdiction. Now the single
women outnumber the married by
$50 .S54. This disparity is character
ed by the head of the bureau as
startling, and he attributes it prin-
cipally to the fact that women are
entering the business field. and are,
therefore. not so dependent on mar
riage for livelihood as formerly.
This independence, he also thinks,
is responsible for the increase in
divorces. In Massachusetts divorces
increased form 1856 in 1885 to 1855
in 1905.
