ROOSEVELT.
VOTE TOMORROW.
FOrdyce Appeals 10 the Pep Q OF
Roosevelt.

Go to the primary tomorrow IN the
borough hall and vote for the deie-
gates opposite the name of Alexander
r.. Fordyce, il. Don't fail to Vote'
no matter for whom you cast your
ballot 1t is just as important TO
vote tomorrow as it is to vote on cleo
ton day-more so, in fact. On TO-
morrow's result depends whether you
are to have in the next legislature
men who will represent the people
or men who are owned, body ana
soul, by Public Service and other
corporate interests.
If you believe in self government,
in the right OF the people to make
laws without the interference OF any
political boss, go to the polls tomor-
row and cast your vote for the man
who, if elected to the important oilce
of senator, will wrench from the
hands of political trieksters the good
name of the county of MiddleseX.
Fordyce stands for the people. His
fight is your fight, and his defeat Will
mean your s~ubservience to boss rule
and corporate greed.
The voters of Roosevelt have
heard Jackson and Fordyce. The
former has not uttered one word as
to what he stands for-what he will
do, whom he will serve, if elected.
From the lips of Mr.. Fordyce they
have heard him declare his position.
His speech Friday night in Kish's
hall was a climaX-position of the
kind of men who now control the pol
itics of this county. From Jackson
you have heard nothing, but that he
stands on his record.
Have you stopped to consider what
that record means to you and to your
interests as citizens and taxpayers?
Look up that record before you vote
tomorrow. Consider 1t carefully, and
then say whether you believe that a
man who subseryes the interests OF
large corporations-who does the
will of a man whose political record
is besmirched by graft and open
handed defiance of the will of his
constituents-who, last year lobbied
in the interest of the Public Service
Corporation to wrest from the people
$50, 900, 900 of property-the Morris
canal. Such is the record of Dory
Jackson stands on, and asks you to
support.
There never was fought in the his
tory of this state a greater battle
than that which will be waged here
tomorrow in this boss-ridden county
of Middlesex. Two men, N of
them, whatever may be his private
regulations is the tail of a political
machine, that stops at nothing to
serve the enemies of the people. He
has permitted himself to be dictated
by "Dory" Strong and the corpor-
ations Strong represents, and this
very same Strong now comes with
effrontery and asks you to
vote that he may continue to plumber
the peoples moneyssg afn 80 s@t. N "a
IAN over the country says the
New York Sun, "the feeling of poll
teal independence, the disgust with
the intolerance of cut and
dried politics, stirs and grows"
Alexander R. Fordyce, Jr., has
openly defied the g~rafters and proven
himself to be a man who incarnates
hatred of boss sovereignty, and the
restoration Of government by the
people is sure to be achieved If you
10 your duty tomorrow.
Don't be fooled, voters of Roose-
velt, by the promises made by your
borough committee to support Jack
son. What right had any committee
You to pledge your support
any legislator elected to serve
you? If Jackson voted for the bill
my as you, his constituents desired
lin to do, and the exacting of a
from you to support his candi-
49, .r - an hns1A nn tInItnh |
lie had taken your money,
Go to the polls tomorrow and vote
o restore freedom from bossism, to
,ut the power to make legislation in
he hands of the people. If you do
his-and il you believe in reprosen-
alive government YOU must do it
on will cast your ballot for the dele
for Fordyce.
