publican ticket. II there were any dii-
! f~erences, they were settled on primary
day. l feel it my duty to get out
do something myself. Instead OIL de-
sorting the party, / propose to put my
arm around it, and if there are any
broken barriers try to strengthen
them. 1t is the duty of evey true Ike
publican to do so, and l will do all IN
my power from now until election 10

Alderman Emil Wohlfarth, also a
| candidate for the Assembly, spoke ar
Walkers Hall, Lake n Park streets.
He said in part:
"I stand before you as a nominee for
the Assembly. There is no such thing
as a Progressive party-we are all to-
gether. The Republican party is found
ed on a mans conscience. and when a
mans conscience dictates to him that
he Is doing right he should go ahead
and do as 1t dictates. | ave served
three terms in the Common Council
and have beer able to study city af-
fairs. now I desire a chance to study
| State affairs.
1.-The Republican platform in 100.
stood for the public utilities bill, ano
this. with many other bills, needs
study. 1 also wish to state that l stand
for home rule. What we want in TINS
city is a new and modified charter
which will give us the opportunity to
issue bonds for new buildings n to
conduct our own affairs without going
to the Legislature and having TO ask
and wait for its members to help US Il
What do Cape May or Sussex counties
care for Newark? Absolutely. nothing.
And If we ear go to the Assembly
strong enough to bring back to this
city a new charter, under conditions
of State regulations, we will have some-
thing tina the entire Republican party
can feel proud Of"
Assembly Candidate Huegel spoke at
three meetings. He said he believed all
the candidates OF h ticke were as
fine a set of men as could be found.
Look ct your Board of Works candi-
dates. Where can you find two men
better qualified than Harry O'Connel
and Honest Bill Mungle?" Mr.. Huegel
asked. 'If you vote for these men you
are bound to have clean city govern
ment. Surrogate Russell will surely be
elected. His record in office needs nc
comment from ME. l am here tonight
to show you gentlemen what kind Of
men you have placed on the Assembly
ticket.
1.-THE Republican platform is clean
concise and comprehensive. There are
two things which | stand for, and they
are to bring back to Newark a new city
charter, allowing us to do as We see
fit without State legislation, home rule,
and the other is to go to Trenton, no
in the interests of any individual, but
in the interests of the people"
