took his seat Chairman Hoffman an
nounced that Gottfried Kruger was in
| disposed and would not be able to be
present, but hat he sent his best wishes
to the boys and the Democratic candi-
dates.
Assemblyman Hahn stated that he was
the man who made many issues this cam
paign. Yet | did not make the Issues,
after ALL" began the speaker; 1T was a
lot of oflce-holders under the Republican
party administration during the past
twelve years that made them, and they
ought to explain the corruption which
existed under them While they were IN
office"
The Assemblyman read a list of names
\ Of prominent Republicans who he said re-
sseiTsd f He ALSO %hi Tefer MeS 20 Roif the e0F Fish and
Game Commission. He added that each
quail cost the State eighty-seyen cents.
Among the names read by the chairman
of the Assembly investigation were United
States Senator John Kean, Senator Ere
linghuysen, Wood Mckee, David Baird,
Senator VIII w II Il 6 e; Jackson stat. General General o M9T-
and Senator w. J. Bradley.
"These are but a few" he said, and
Is 1t any wonder that the Republicans
have grown fat during the past twelve
years?
And yet the Republican candidates tell
us that they are giving you an economical
government and are protecting the State
treasury. A mere glance at some of the
bills OF the fish and game wardens dis
closes the spirit OF dishonesty and graft
which has prevailed. In one month one OF
these officials was paid $6S.50 for tips
and when | asked when he was before the
State Investigation committee what kin
fish tips were he laughed and said
that that was the amount he had paid to
porters and others in his trips during the
month in question:
William Corcoran sans the Katzenbach
song. Assemblyman Lane was introduced,
and said:
And the standard bearer OF the Repub-
lican party tells you that civic righteous
ness can only be brought about through
his election. He should begin by cleaning
house himself. Mr.. Fort. who lays CLAIM
to all the political morality that is abroad
chooses for his guiding and advisory board
such men as the Secretary of State, thu
State Treasurer and David Baird, of Cam
den. Vote the straight Democratic tickle
and send back to Trenton the men who vii
put your bills through and make then
laws. If the Democratic majority in the
Assembly last year made any mistakes 1
was because twenty-eight out of the thirty
one were new members. who had to nigh
t~wenty-nine old stagers trained in all trick
cry and c~hicanery.'
Walter J. Knight. candidate for schoo
commissioner In the Eighth Ward. AMI
stenographer Of the Hahn investigation
committee, said:
'The Governor of this State and tbs
Republican candidate for Governor tel
YOU that they cannot learn of these wrongs
exposed by the Hahn investigation com
mittee, and therefore cannot talk abou'
them. As stenographer of that committed
they have never called upon me for a copy
OF the report of the Investigation com
lmittee, but what need they OF It. The
papers have been ringing with II. expos
ing a record not only of enormous steal
lings. but moral delinquencies that are un
printable. Yet Mr.. Fort tells you that
man who has not the courage of his con
~Victions is a coward. He wants you II
impose confidence. in him., but does no
want to expose TO you his record or thu
record of the Republican party. On tn
other hand, Mr.. Katzenbach invites yoI
all to view his record, which is an opeI
book to Republicans and Democrats alike
from the cradle up to the present time"
