This nation within the space of the

and the men who sent the shots arc

people of this Republic. Yet, can yor.
wonder that such things occur, wher.
such ideas were formulated in the

Endorsed by the principal OF n of Il

WHERE MACHINES
WERE MANIPULATED

Rubber bands were fastened to the pointers on machines in such
a way that they prevented counting the vote when the Republican
lever was pulled, the vote being a blank. The Republican County
Committee offers a reward of 81 900 for the arrest and conviction
of the guilty parties. In the city of Passaic on Tuesday a voting
machine registered 631 votes, when, according to the pollbooks
only 275 votes had been poled. This and other machines in Pas
sale had been inspected a few days previous to the election by a
man sent from Trenton. The plea of reliability for the voting
machine has been the "last ditch" for the voting machine trust to
take refuge in. And here are two new evidences that it is both
unreliable and easily manipulated for a fraudulent vote.

with offers of brides to vote to give a water contract to a subsidiary
of the East Jersey Water Company. These charges have not been
acted upon by the Bergen grand jury, although they were explicit
and direct and named the man. The contract was given to jersey
City. Councilman William C. Kngsland was one who favored the
water company, and he was the Republican candidate for Mayor
against William Brandenburgh, who had been opposed. Kings
land was badly defeated. The incident foreshadows an issue that

There is no reason to doubt these figures. The fight against the

States. We have hardly commenced to build sanatoriums and buy
beds for them. That strange apathetic Indifference which has

WHAT MIGHT
HAVE BEEN

midnight Tuesday, the House of Assembly for 1910 will consist of
fortyone Republicans and nineteen Democrats. If the eleven
Democratic Assembly candidates in Essex had been elected the
Democrats would have tied the Assembly. One vote in Salem or
Passaic or Union, where the Democrats looked for some gains,
would have given them a majority and changed legislative history
next year.

To the Editor OF the Newark Star:
Sir-It seems to me that there are a
great many Interested in the Mathews
controversy, but Mathews himself.
Why does not that bold, bright, edify-
ing gentleman speak for himself? OF
course, | am aware that he will have
that opportunity when he is cited by
the school board; and, perhaps that is
the reason he is playing the martyr
just at present. However it appears to
me, that he should be suficiently
straightforward to answer a few peril
nent questions. and so settle the dis
~cussion of your correspondents.
AS a representative man, and as an
employee of the city to further its in
~terests, and to inculcate good princi-
pies, should you, sir, stand on a COM

presence, to the reviling of a book
