This section is familiar ground to the
gubernatorial candidate. for 1t was at
J~ohnsonburg that his mother was born
and lived until grown Up. Mr.. Katzen-
bach. while when q young boy, visited
his grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Mush-
back, at their home at Johnsonburg
each summer for a number of years,
and as he approached the town yester-
day after an absence of nearly twenty
years, every turn of the road opened up
a new vista associated with childhood
excursions and absolutely unchanged,
he told those who accompanied him.
A score or more of men Aand women
who had been the candidates play
mates were gathered about the little
country grocery store to shake hands
with Mr.. KatZenbach. At first they
were inclined to inspect him at a dis
lance, but such shyness as was at first
exhibited disappeared once he had got
out of his automobile and stood among
them.
Don't you remember" asked Stew
art Remsay, 'how you and 1 used to
go in swimming in the brook down
yonder? Nobody thought then you
would ever be Governor"
Mr.. Katzenbach remembered this and
la dozen other instances that were re-
called to him. Some of the old friends
/ he greeted were Henry Bale. Clinton
Keer and 4. j. Waterfeld. The can
didate did not attempt to make any
speech here. After a while he went up
the village street to the house where
his mother, Augusta Mushback, was
born.
Accompanying Mr.. Katzenbach when
he left Hoboken for Hackettstown, the
first step on the itinerary, were
Joseph P. Tumulty, Assemblyman from
Hudson County. and William Gordon,
of Trenton. On the train he was met
by Senator Thomas j. Hillery, who, al
though of Republican persuasion. had
an interesting twenty minutes talk
with the candidate.
At Hackettstown Mr.. Katzenbach
was Joined by Senator Johnston Cornish,
former County Prosecutor William A.
Stryker, Assemblyman Joseph Fl. Firth,
ex-senator Barber, ex-Surrogate c. B.
Sharp and James r. Thatcher, of the
Board of Freeholders. A little later,
James MARITIME, of Plainfeld, came over
in an automobile from Phillipsburg, and
he and Mr.. Tumulty assisted in the
speech-making. Mr.. Tumulty was well
received by the Hackettstown delega-
ton when he reviewed the record OF
the Republican party for the last
twelve years at Trenton. With their
absolute control, he argued the Repub-
licans could have passed any bill
backed up by public opinion, notwith-
standing, however, he declared, they
had put through scarcely any reform
measures, and only those fathered by
the Democrats. He added;
The Democratic Assembly attempted q
nave passed a bill. last winter, making II
unlawful for corporations to contribute to
campaign funds. This measure the Re
publlcans killed. Do you know why cor
porations are so willing to give money to
a campaign fund? 1t Is because the con-
tribution is their part of a deal that II
the party be successful the corporations
profit by the sacrifice of rights which be-
long to you and your children.
Later on Mr.. Tumultv asked, with Que
respect to ex-Judge Forts recent posi-
lion. who are his associates? AND an,
swered: "They are the disreputable ana
immoral Sam Dickinson, Secretary OF
State. and David Baird, the special repre-
sentative of the corrupt railroad interests
of the State"
Mr.. MARITIME likened Mr.. Fort to a cutie
fish, Pursued IN midoeean, spewing out It's
cloudy liquid, and added: MIR. Fort Will
tell you he stands for civic righteousness
and good roads. He doesn't say a word
about the history Of the Trenton Asylum.
OF the Republican corruption at the State
capital, and of corporate favoritism. He
endeavors only to cloud your perception
with talk OF railroads and reform"
In conclusion Mr.. MARITIME asked:
why is II that the courts are being used
to suppress the pape1s filed in the proceed
ings for the disbar' snt Of Judge Fort some
years ago?"
AT Delaware the party was Joined by
Mayor George w. Baldwin and w. w.
|. Compton, OF Summit. Mr.. Katzenbach
told a gathering at Hope that he had not
been to the town since he visited it to
play a game of ball over thirty years
ago, He found j. II. Westbrook, one of
the ball players on that occasion, and
went over old times.
