About $50 republican voters from

received with much applause.
81 did not come here to tell you
all about the party" said he, my
friend, Crowther, can do that better
than |. l am no speaker, gentle
men, continued Mr.. Jackson, "and
| only want to say a few words. |
came here to ask you for something.
| | am candidate for state senator, as
you all know, and / want your vote
And / came here like a man to ask
you for it,"
The senator did not abuse George
S. Silzer, who is the opposition can
didate, but said: Anything Mr.. Sill
ger has said in my favor is true, any
thing he says aginst me is false, and
l can prove them. The Governor OF
New Jersey is to speak in New Bruins
wick tomorrow night in the third
ward, and | would like any one of
you TO attend the meeting and listen
to what he says about me. Whatever
he says l am willing to abide by
AItnough Mr.Jackson's speech was
brief, his style pleased the audience,
and storm of applause followed.
1--WE have with us tonight" said
Chairman Peltier, "a man who can
say Thirty Days! quicker than any
man that ever lived, Harold E. Pick
ersgill, candidate for recorder.
MI. Pickersgill was greeted with
much applause, and cries of speech,
speech"
81 thank you, gentlemen" said
the recorder, who had been escorted
to the center of the hall, but | can
speak for two minutes just as easily
here as behind those benches"
Mr.. Pickersgill said he hoped 10
see the full republican ticket elected,
and added that the third ward had
chance to redeem herself this year.
From the cheers and stamping of feet
it was plain to be seen that Pick"
was the choice of the voters.
| L. b. Moore, candidate for alder
man from the third ward, was next
introduced by the chairman. 81 don't
think | ever made speech before
in my life," said he, 'but | am going
to try and make one now. / am a
good republican, | have always
worked hard for the party, and
Will court an investigation of my rec
ord as a man. If elected, | will do
all in my power to fill the import
ant Office to the best of my ability,
and to the best interests of the city.
thank you, gentlemen
Thunderous applause and cheer
ing followed Mr.. Moore's speech,
whose debut as an orator was a de-
cided success.
Assemblyman Frank Crowther was
introduced next by Chairman Pei
tier. Il always feel a trifie nervous
and embarrassed when called on TO
speak" said the assemblyman, who
then told two very droll stories. Mr.
Crowther followed with brilliant
speech in which he portrayed the
workings of the party and how the
administration of the republicans
had caused the county to prosper
In speaking about Senator jackson,
the assemblyman said Il have
known Billy Jackson for six years
and I have never known him to do
ANYTHING that was not right, and his
integrity is unquestionable. Perhaps
he did not please all of us; 1t is
hard thing to please everyone. Only
one man in this world tried to please
everybody and they crucified him.
DR.. Crowther concluded by urging
all the voters to stand by the entire
ticket The storm of applause that
followed would have caused an ord
mary man to become egotistical.
Nominee for Mayor Jens X. Jensen
was called upon to say few words.
Mr.. Jensen thanked the party Tor
the nomination, and said he would
do all in his power to aid the party.
81 stand for good government, good
streets, and all manner OF improve
ments, and if elected will do every
thing | can to uphold the reputation
of the republican party"
Mr.. Jensen's few remarks seemed
to please the men, who were liberal
in their applause, and cheers For
our next Mayor"
