Former Congressman Charies

nnh1,cans. including among their num-
her the candidates on the Repupiican
.,oret and Colonel Austen Colgate, tne
progressive Republican who tried 10
wrest the chairmanship of the county
committee from Alfred N. Dairynpie'
gathered in Krueger's Auditorium las'
night to exchange views and urge one
another to get together and work TOT
the success of the whole ticket Mr..
Jandis was the principal speaker Oh
the evening, as he had been speciaiis
invited to come here to open the cam
paign. but the Assembly nominees VINO
smoke. Duane E. Minard and Coleman
r. Nissan. were eagerly listened to-
stating, as they did, the principles on
which they were running. Surrogate
George e. Russell, who Is anxious TO
succeed himself, was also enthusiastic
cally cheered,
Mr.. Landis dealt with the situation
in general. He said that the Repupli-
can marty did not have much on It's
hands in Indiana this year so he had
come to New Jersey to do what ne
could to help out. He said that be-
sides the Importance of this year
election to New Jersey the results here
would be closely watched in the rest
of the country by those who wish to
get a line on the election next year,
when new House of Representatives
is to be elected.
''If you've had trouble forget It," ne
advised. ''If you've been divided, get
together"
There was one person in the audience
who was anxious to learn something
and when Mr.. Lands referred 10 tne
bankruptcy law of 1895, which, he saio
was necessity after Democratic
administration, the owner of the voice
wanted to know "about the last panic
'sWhat about the last panic?' re-
heated Mr.. Landis "The last socalled
panic was a. little affiiction of Uncle
SANS that was diagnosed by Repup-
Iican administration and given pre-
scription which cured him. A Demo-
cratic administration can't diagnose or
cure it's own panics. Why. 1t wouldn't t
know the difference between the symp-
toms of appendicitis and the conditions
which result from an overdose of green
apples"
Judge Benjamin F. Jones, of South
Orange, presided. When he introduced
Surrogate Russell the proceedings came
TO a temporary halt, while the audi
ence cheered. Mr.. Russell said In part;
I'm changing the office from fee
system to a salary basis no provision
was made for the surrogate to make
any report of the work in his ONCE Ior
the information of the public other
thar monthly statement of the re-
ceipts to the county collector In the
absence of such a provision i desire tc
say that the receipts of the office FOR
my term up to the first of the current
month are $138 ,03379, and. counting
moneys due the county from the State
of New Jersey from the collateral in
heritance tax, estimate that the re-
ceipts of the office for the entire term
will be about $143,000. This shows q
profit over the old system to the county
of nearly $4,000.
"In the speeches which the Demo-
cratic nominee has made in this cam
paign he has declared that IL elected
he will not be a candidate for renomf-
n&tion or reelection. That is one of
the weakest arguments, to my mind.
that could possibly be advanced. Take
the business man. He employs man
to superintend certain branch of his
large business; engages him for five
years. The mans work and results are
eminently satisfactory. He not only
improves, but increases the business.
Would you expect the business man at
the expiration of five years to throw
that man out of his business simply be-
cause the contract time had expired,
and put In his place a new applicant,
with no experience? l do not think so.
"And. again, there is a mistaken idea
that the surrogate of Essex E7unty mas
never succeeded himself. Alexander G.
McWhorter served two terms In such
capacity; Thomas T. Kennedy served
three terms md two years; John L.
Shatwood served two terms. and George
G. d. Moore was elected for four terms.

counties of the State eight of the pres

fourth, and two, David S. Crater, of
Monmouth, Democrat, and George D.
Parrot, of Union, Republican, are
serving their fifth terms.
I'm here before you tonight without
a political record to correct, explain or
be proud off, said Mr.. Mihard, when
he had been presented by Judge Jones
