ALL ISSUES

they will be very large. / have no ob1eo-
ton.
''Thcre is no reason why we should not
succeed this year. In all the twelve years
the Republican party has been in control
in New Jersey there is not g spot on It's
record of the administration Of the affairs
of the State. There is nothing of which
we need be ashamed or for which we need
to apologize. The few things discovered
by the Assembly investigating committee
are f0f h most part In non-partisan IN
stitutions, where the Republican party Is
no more responsible than the Democratic.
IF by your sutfrages | am elected Gov
ernor OF New Jersey, and find that any
official Is doing wrong. whether he be Re
publican or a Democrat. punish him l will,
J If l can. When there is a question of good
| government and honesty on the one hand
and bad government and dishonesty on
the. other there will be no question OF re
p~ublicanism and no question of Democracy,
but simply a question of Justice, and JUS
tice he will get.

The candidate smiled and looked about
him. There were cries of Go on" and

suggested.
already that I forget the dates Mr.. Fort
resumed. "A week from tonight, then, /
will discuss every question Of the cam
paign. And. let me tell you. my friends,
not one of them will be lodged"
At the conclusion of the speech there
was more applause. The reference to
President Roosevelt was responsible for
prolonged cheering.
Chairman Dalrymple called upon Alder
man Martin who said:

Of battle we propose to wage during the
rext few weeks. The glorious past or the

mo, I don't dare leave those Democrats
there alone" the Alderman %reioined, amid
laughter.
Former County Counsel Joseph L. Mum,
Interrupted the speaker by suggesting
you had better stay there then" This
caused some laughter. Continuing, Alder
man Martin said that the Assembly ticket
was bound TO be elected. as the members
were arm-in-arm in support of the county
platform. Next taking up city problems,
the Alderman spoke OF the claims of the
Democrats on the score of q low tax rate.
They overlooked the fact and failed to
tell the citizens of Newark" the Alderman
SAID, that while they have given low
tax rates. ii, has been because there waf
no progress, no improvements and no pub
lie schools. They say 1t Is low this year.
Yes. my ffi@rfds, 1t is low. because the Re-
publicans kept up the improvements In thf
city to the stage they should have been,
and this year, except in one instance. !

Board of Works Commissioner Augustus
F. Eggers, upon whose reelection the Re
publicans depend so much for the sake of
party organization, was cheered as roundly
almost as II he were a candidate for one
OF the highest Offices in the land. When
he suggested that the districts be visited
and that the ''shaky' ones be braced up
a voice from another part of the room
cried: "What shall we give them? A

Give them good Republican principles, .
was the reply.
Speaking about his own career as a
Board of Works Commissioner, Mr.. Eggers
said that he had no apologies TO make for
his course in public events. II am going
to stand firm If my conscience says a thing
is right. l will stick to principle he
said.
Austen Colgate, one of the New Idea
members of the Assembly ticket, said
that being called upon to speak vas an
unexpected pleasure, and that he was
sorry he did not have one of his cam
paign speeches with him.
