Says Country Is In Grip of r1iIitarism

President Roosevelt and his military
ideas were the subject of a sermon by
the Rev. Charles E. Jefferson in the
Broadway Tabernacle New York.
"Mr. Roosevelt is the most un-Ameri-
can President that ever occupied the
White House." he said. INC man ever
loved a gun as much as our president"
When he is not using it he loves to sit
and look at a gun. The trend of mill
tarism fostered by the president is to-
daymore dangerous than slavery was
before the civil war.
"Never before has this country been
in the grip of militarism as to-day. The
newspapers are filled with stories of
battle ships, pictures of army and navy
scenes, editorials ON a large navy and
army, speeches in Congress and talk of
wal.
1--WE are told that more guns means
more peace; that the glory of the coun-
try depends On the size of the army and
navy. The editorials in all the papers
talk war. Even the editors of religious
papers are at present dining at the

a larger navy, President Roosevelt is

Freeholders at the annual session on
Wednesday re-organized for the year py
re-eIecting George Tonkin director, along
with all the other former officials. The
county budget was fixed at $101, 900, al
though many wanted about $4,000 more.
Freeholders Usinger, Jones and Tom
lison were named as the permane mt Stone
Road Committee. The board has been in
a quandary over the election of a road
supervisor to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Lewis s. Stranger some weeks
ago. The board does not want a super
visor, but under the law is compelled to
elect one; but the matter was deferred
to-day, as there are no candidates. A
position with a $600-a-year salary attach
ed to it never went begging before in old

Bryan's Nomination Assured

Two weeks ago tr1 urove
RECORD announced urat the Bryan
tide was rising in the East notwith-
standing the daily press gave the oppo-
site i'm preston because some States
elected uninstructed delegates, which
are classed opposed to him.
4. Mondays New York Herald an
nounced that Bryrn was rapidly subju-
eating the enemy's country and that it
was an assured thing that he would
have two-thirds, 672, of the 1908 dele
gates to nominate him. Already 300
delegates have been instructed for him
and 1926 more will probably be instruct
ed for him. Of the unrestricted dele
gates elected in New Jersey, New York,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Tex
as, about 100 will befor Mr.. Bryan.
+ The greatestisurprise in the East is the
election of a majority of the delegates
in Pennsylvina for Bryan, where the
BrJa an League has done effective work
in a State that was considered anti
Bryan. Vermont is considered anti
Bryan but the delegates will be forhim.
There is a general uprising all over the
country for Mr.iBryan's nomination.
Mr.. Bryan is being aided by a consid-
able revulsiOn of sentiment. Somehow
the notion is getting abroad that he may
not be such a weak candidate after all.
Indeed the action of Judge Gray in ap-
parently spurning the nomination las
injured his chances to get support in
the East and there is a feeling that if
Governor Johnson should win at Den
yer he would have to face the trouble
some statement that he was nominated
because he could poll the Scandinavian
vote in a mass, which might not be a
strong card to play in this country,
where race prejudices of other import
ed races are easy to arouse. MI. Bryan
himself believes he can defeat Taft.
