Some Suggestions for Governor
Stokes When He Spoke in
Behalf of Jackson.

The following communication APP
peared in the New Brunswick Daily
Times last night suggesting some
questions that Governor Stokes might
answer when he appeared in New
Brunswick in behalf of Senator jack
sen last night:
To the Editor of the Times:
Governor Stokes has been adver-
tised to speak here tonight at the re-
publican meeting to be held In
Y. M. G. A. hall. Senator Jackson a
so far failed to accept the challenge
to a joint debate made by George S.
Silzer, the democratic nominee for
senator, and the public will not be
able to hear him at tonight's meeting,
the advertisement in the local repub-
lican organ not mentioning his name
among the speakers.
The governor also speaks tonight
at the First NJ. E. church anniversary.
1t is safe to say that he will not
mix politics and religion at the same
place although he is to speak on these
subjects the same night, a situation
that has caused no little comment.
In order that the public may get
some light on the record of Jackson
perhaps the governor can answer
some questions as to the senator and
some of his bills land explain some
things himself in which the voters are
interested.

6. Why Jackson should claim cred
it for the state architect bill (Senate
No. II, 1900 which was passed and
in which he created a $4,000 per year

Z. Why a judge of the Common

8. Why the salary of the private

8. Why partisan politics and relig-

10. Why the armory bill No. 1877
was introduced when it was known

II. Why Jackson's bill, Senate No.

pard's Annotations at an expense to
