The Republicans are united and pursu

perity. He referred to the great expans.
OF territory covered by the United States
and compared several of the states witt
foreign countries, showing our great mag
nitude. The increased trade between ths
United States and foreign countries was
shown, whereby American labor is KEEP
steadily employed and constantly on the
increase to supply the demands of othel
nations. This is the story of Republican
achievement. The Governor said he was
proud of New Jersey, and never apologized
for his state. When he looked at the sea
coast and thought of the nobility that is
entertained there year after year, place
where the poor make their summer play
ground; when he stood in Jersey CITY OF
Camden and saw the vast multitude OF
persons returning from business pursuits
to their homes in this state he felt indeed
that New Jersey is haven of rest.
He had not always had this feeling of
pride for the state. He remembered the
days of the Senate steals, the race track
gambling, the State House grabs, and
other Ubiquitous things but he was glad
that the people had arisen and removed
these stains. The many good things that
have accrued to the benefit of the people
were recounted, among them the good
roads in the state, of which Burlington
has more miles than any other county
The Democratic platform in this county
was referred to and the Governor alluded
to the fact that Jefferson was held up to
the people, and Jefferson had been dead
since 1926 The principles of jackson
were also lauded and Jackson had been
dead since 1915; Bryan was the next to be
praised, and Bryan has been wrong on
every subject in the past ten years
The old cry Of corporations owning the
state was taken up. Among the recent
acts of the last Legislature was the enact
ment of bill allowing trolley roads to
carry freight. The railroads did not want
that bill, but it went through. That did
not look like corporation control The
bill to allow municipalities to build their
own water and lighting plants was not
entirely satisfactory to corporations, but
it was enacted. The railroad companies
will pay this year, under legislation by
the Republican party, three and hall
times as much tax as they paid last year,
That did not SAVIOR of corporation owner
ship of officials and legislators. The en-.
actment of laws on the matter of taxation
must necessarily be beneficial to the tax
payer, unless, and particular stress was
laid on this word, unless the authorities
increase the expenditures and thus pre-
vent a reduction. No legislation car
govern the matter of increased expendi.

The Governor paid high tribute to
Assemblyman Robbins as man of value
to his county and his state Mr.. Robbins
was one of the few men in the Legislature
who devoted time to reading and study
ing bills presented for consideration, anC
when the subject was brought up for &C
ton he was able to act intelligently
When a man of that character is willing
to serve the people they cannot afford t.

Mr. Lewis then introduced Senator JohI
G. Horner as gentleman who has served
his county well and now is about to retir
with good record to his credit
Mr.. Horner said the Governor hat
covered the history of the party so wei
that there was little left for him to saw
He asked his hearers to consider the con
ditions of today and compare them wit
those of the time of Democratic rule an
he did not believe any one would care t
return to the old system. He had made
study of the subject and he failed to sc
any reason, and he had not heard any al
gument advanced by the other side VIII
the Republican party should be retired
After referring to the many good deed
performed by that party he asked: "Wh
are the leaders of the Democratic part
in this statef Where is the Stokes of til
Democratic party?" He spoke of OF

Mr.. Robbins was equal to the occasion.
Mr.. Robbins said he little though
when, as boy, he played around the o
court house, that he would some day star
within its walls and ask the people of b

the shadow of the old building, spendil
all his life in the county, he had learn,
