ELECTION BUYING
APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS TO
HELP PREVENT IT.
s. P. c. P. Addresses Letter to State
Convention to Join Republicans
in Good Work.

The New Jersey Society for the Proven
ton Of Corrupt Practises at Elections
has addressed the following letter to the
Democratic State convention:
Trenton, N. j., Sept. 16. 1907.
To the New Jersey Democratic State Con-
Conference.-The men who make up the
party which you represent, however diff
fering In views, policies and principles
parties, are one with them in patriotic
desire to safeguard the ballot.
The ultimate defense of American lib
erty will be the ballot box. And there
must be made the stand against the cor
rupting influence of constituencies wealth
and the assaults of anarchistic violence.
Upon this question all parties can and
should unite, and the proper methods of
cooperation In this important civic duty
can only be a matter of detail.
THE New Jersey Society for the Pre-
vention of Corrupt Practises at Elections"
has perfect confidence in the political vir-
tue of the great mass of the party which
you represent. 1t views with peculiar
satisfaction the growth of popular resent
ment against 'commercialized politics"
and the desire for a new and better sys-
tenn of conducting elections, but 1t can
not ignore the fact that criminal methods
still obtain among men of high and low
degree In both great parties.
Believing that your convention will glad
~ welcome any means OF renewing your
candidates from the real or fancied neces-
sity of becoming criminals, that they may
become elected, and tina you will be
ready to join hands in a movement hat
will deliver our elections from control
of predatory wealth" and that will make
the capable poor man the peer at the
ballot box of his weather. brother, we
respectfully urge the appointment by your
convention of a committee to cooperate
with a similar committee from the other
marty and from OUR organization. in
eliminating at once and forever from
New Jersey politics, the corrupting infiu-
ence of large sums of money employed in
~debauching the voter and disgracing the
State. Yours sincerely,
New Jersey Society for the Prevention of
Corrupt Practises at Elections.

his flowing gray whiskers and kindly
twinkling EYE complete the likeness. It Is
because of this likeness that Mr.. Roberts
is said to have once served to save the
President a lot of embarrassment, al
though he was himself the victim of con-
siderable Inconvenience and his natural
modesty was given a shock that severely
tested its endurance.
President Harrison was EN- route from
Washington to his summer home at
Cape May at the time, and when he
reached Philadelphia it was learned that
an immense crowd was waiting at Camden
to see him leave the ferry and go to his
train. He was already behind time, and
was anxious not to be longer detained.
Railroad officers looked about for some
means of relief. and one of them recalled
that Mr.. Roberts was the Presidents
double. There was a scurrying about for a
minute or two, and then a clerk was dis
patched with a Prince Albert coat and a
silk hat.
Mr.. Roberts was Quickly equipped in the
regalia of craftsmanship and escorted from
the ferry slip to the rear Of awaiting pas
senger coach. Bow and scrape TO EN-,
said one of his escorts. He bowed and
seraped' andSkept on bowling and scrapins
while the crowd went wild with enthusi
asm. In the meantime the real president
