Greatly 1uddled

The Local U~ptionsts and Republican
machine which were switched off the
track by Joseph B. Crispin have invited
MI. Crispin to withdraw as the Repub-
lican nominee for Assembly, so Assem-.
blym Samuel Ridgway cal be made
the nominee. Mr.. Crispin has refused
to withdraw, so the Republican ma
chinists have decided to run Mr.. Ridg-
way on stickers and the Local Option
lists will support him on an independent
party ticket and seperate ticket on the
two voting machines in the county. Is.
Some think Mr.. Ridgway will sweep
the county as a Local Optionist, while
others belive it will split the Republi-
can vote and elect John Schade, the
Democratic nominee.
The Crispin family and their relatives
and friends are numerous in Salem
county and surely they do not intend
to be run over by the few who wan
to dictate who shall 60 to the legislative.
He won under the new primary law
which was enacted to give independent
candidates a chance.
What is there back of the machine
that makes it so important that MI.
Ridgway should go to Legislature for
the third term? Is there some important
corporation legislation neededf for which
MI. Crispin can not be trusted to vote
for? Is MI. Crispin- opposed to the eX-
pensive and useless County Board of
taxation, which was formed to lessen
the taxes on railroads? Theysurely have
not done it on individuals.
There was big money in the passaged
of the Buck law three years ago where
by $500, SS4.90 have been exempted
from taxation in Salem county alone.
. The Penn's Grove Record is the only
paper in the county that has opposed
that law of special privilege. Is a party
or candidates worthy of support who
exempts a few and puts the expense
of useless offices on the people?

The Republican Party's Own Answer.
In his address to the Republican ma
tional convention, Temporary Chair
man Burrows referred to the Repub
lican victory in 1904, and then asked:
"In view OF this Endorsement, it be-
comes pertinent and opportune to in
quire, what has the Republican party
done in the last four years of govern
ment control to forfeit public conf
dence or create distrust in its caDac'
ity for future administration?
For this question the Rochester

answer which the Union and Adver

the Republican Platform of 1896: I'm
the broad effect of its policy it has
precipitated panic, blighted industry

Has cost of living increased

answer is found in the follow
Ing table Of two lines:
Increase.
Cost of living ......49 per cent
Wages ............19 per cent
Frank w. Hitchcock, now
National Republican chairman,
former FIRST assistant postmas-
ter-general, recommended a

living has materially increased.
Salaries of senators and repre-
sentatives were increased so per
cent, and many speeches were
made in both bodies to show
that so heavy has been the In
crease in living cost that the
raise in congressional salaries
was necessary, lest only wealthy.
