Carolina, who is touring the state for
Local Optionists, is to speak in the
Centenary M. f. Church of this city
on Wednesday evening. Sept. 2s.
Governor Glenn spoke for the Anti.
Saloon League at their state conven-
ton last December and his address
was pronounced the most eloquent
appeal to heart and brain yet heard
on the temperance question in New
Jersey. He later spoke in the Lyric
Theatre at Newark and ten minutes
before the time for the meeting to
open the theatre was crowded from
pit to dome. The aisles had to be
cleared and doors closed to the incom
ing crowd by order of the fire com.
missioners. Thousands were unable
to gain admittance and hundreds
waited to attend the overflow meeting
IN the Central Methodist Church,
Governor Glenn has already spoken
this month in Haddonfield, Camden,
Moorestown, Pennington, Burling
ton. Boonton, Morristown and
Roselle.
Governor Glenn's address is an APP
peal to the Christian citizenship, show
ing the results Of Local Option. He
declares in the course of his argument
that no legislator has any reason to
deny the people the principle of Lo-
cal Option. He says that Democrats
and Republicans grant that the prin
ciple is fundamental; that the rule oil
the majority is the only rule. He re.
fers to New Jerseys history in the
fight for Independence and In the
Civil War. stating that New Jersey Is
citizens were the bravest and best and
expresses surprise that with such a
citizenship she stands among the four
states of the Union that deny the peo-
pie in the local communities the RICH
to vote on a matter of such vital i'm
port as the liquor question.
In referring to the lawlessness al
Atlantic City, Governor Glenn says,
The great reason that the saloons are
so lawless MT such places as Atlantic
City. Jersey City and Hoboken, is
because the liquor men know that the
people could not vote them out if they
wanted to; that few men have con.
troll and they are thus able to defy the
people. He said that the liquor traf
fic was inherently criminal and de
clared it was the business of official,
to do their duty and they could en-
force the law if they wonld. He say
If he was Governor of New Jersey h,
would see that the laws were obeyed
if he had to call out the militia aud
special session of the Legislature t,
have them obeyed.
His address is most eloq uent ap
peal to the mind and heart. 1t is re
plete with humor, pathos, argument
facts and figures. He moves the aud
fence from tears to laughter, and il
the meantime holds them with argn
ment and reasoning. He gives illus
trations aud incidents from his guber
material Office in relation to the on
forcement of law and emphasizes his
points with telling effect. He speaks
under tremendous pressure, and get
the sympathy of the audience to be
gin with, and keeps it to the finish

KEEP the TOWN BEFORE THE PUBLIC

| II IL up 10 the citizens of every
town, be il large or small, to keep it
prominently before the public as an
enterprising, hustling town, one
where good people would not object
| to live and raise their children. We
don't believe in trying to make every
town and village u manufacturing
center and one destined to become u
city in a comparatively short time.
| all such statements are vain and mig
leading. But there IL scarcely town
which by cooperation of its citizens
may not be kept alive aud made at
tractiye. BY the organization OF the
business men in all lines, aud every
town should have such an organiza-
ton, a great deal may be accomplish
ed toward it's prosperity. Some or
CARNATIONS undertake too much at
the beginning, and, failing, their
members become discouraged and
other hand, they had only undertaken
only one or two things at time and
laid their plans we'll and worked to
them they would have made a success
OF the venture.

number OF places and one good road
leading TO and through town will
contribute very considerably to lite
we'll being. A good place where farm.
ers can hitch their teams and where
they can be provided with water, etc.
is an attraction worth all it costs. A
rest room, provided each store has
none, where the wives and daughter,
OF the visiting customers may fine
such comforts as they usually require
ON such occasions is also an item moi
TO be overlooked.
When few conservative business
men get TO working together for thu
advancement and upbnilding of theil
local interests, ideas of value will sug
. gest themselves and they will always
I find something worthy OF considera
ton.
Good schools, attractive church
buildings and such things will attrac
! worthy citizens.

PLANS TO CHANGE CONSTITUTION OF
the STATE FAILS

The returns OF the vote OF yester-
days special election, when the pro-
posed five constitutional amendments
were submitted to the vote of the peo-
pie OF of New Jersey, indicate that the
amendments were all lost by a ma
iority of about 25, 900 on an IS percent.
vote. Strange as it may seem. later
returns show that the amend
ment increasing the yearly salaries of
senators and assemblymen from $500
to 8, 200 year had the best OF the
running, though it certainly is lost
with the rest.
The little interest in the election
makes the returns late in coming in,
but at midnight the populous counties
showed the following maiorities against
Hudson, 1000; Essex. 5000; Mer-
Ger, 1850; Atlantic, 1900; Passaic,
1.eOO; Camden, 6. 1000; Middlesex. 600.
East Orange, the home of Governor
Fort, and occupying an honored place
in the New Idea" movement showed
perhaps the greatest vote for the
amendments in proportion to the total
vote.
Hunterdon has gone 800 against all
the amendments. Lambertville re-
turns are: "a against No. l, q
against No. 2, 90 against No. 3, A
against No. 4, and ~ against No. 3.
