to make his the candidate for chair
man of the Millburn Township Com
mittee. The Democrats hesitated and
Mr.. Morgan crossed Milfburn avenue
to a place the Republicans were In
session and asked them If they would
nominate or indorse him If the Demo-
Gratis made him their candidate.
"As he was a good spender of money
in election campaigns" said an old
MiDIurn Republican today, 1--WE said
he was acceptable to us. He then re-
turned to the Democratic meeting,
where. I was told afterward, they said
to Morgan to go back to us, where he
belonged. for they did not indorse his
views. Well, he was elected, and while
head of u Township Committee prose
cuted not only saloon-keepers but every
one who sole candy or ice cream to
children on Sunday, and we were sorry
we supported him."
Five old Democrats of Millburn cor
roborated what the old Republican said,
and they also stated that they were at
the Democratic conference where Mr..
Morgan asked that the party name him
a candidate for township committee
man. These men also said that when
MI. Morgan wanted the nomination for
candidate for assembly he first asked
them for the Democratic nomination.
They told him he could not have it, and
the Republicans, who were in session
the same night. gave him the nominal
ton for assembly.
