great ovation. He said that New Jersey
was formerly p Democratic State, but
twelve years ago the Republican party
came into power, obtaining control OF all
the departments Of the State government
The change was made because the people
of the State found that the Democratic
party, being so long in power, had become
corrupt, and should be turned out. The
same is now true of the Republican party,
he said. 1t has become corrupt. he averred.
and a change is necessary to the welfare
of the State. He recited a number OF rea~
sons why he thought a change should be

ing back needed appropriations for schools,
declared Mr.. Anderson. and now our
children have got to receive their eduea-
ton In old dilapidated churches, barns and

He then took the Council to task about
the garbage scandal, as he termed 1t. He
said an epidemic from unremoved decayed
garbage was liable to break out at any
time. and 'become worse even than the
