eases, and that should be the first provision, at the earliest pos
sible date. Essex county, being The wealthiest and most advanced
county in the State, should be an exemplar for other counties. at
least in all things appertaining to the general welfare. In pro
vding for the care of tuberculosis cases we at the same time afford
better protection to the general community from the disease.
Segregate those who are afflicted with it and the chances of infec.
ton for others are thereby lessened. Figures recently given show
that the State and its municipalities are wofu1ly behind in their
hospital facilities for dealing with tuberculosis. The State has
spent large sums foolishly at Glen Gardner, getting a beggarly
return for the money. 1t is for the Legislature to correct that
blunder and make Glen Gardner a sanatorium for the MANY. Essex

Aug. Rhode was nominee,
Recount Johnny then concluded
A Republican to be.
Time rolled on, advice was given,
Recount Johnny" knew it all.
His influence and sayings noble,
Caused our Republicans to fall.
They looked upon our victory
With envious tho'ts and Jealous

Then "Hemlock Biz and the afore-

A recount at once advised.

A petition now was filed,
The date was set, the time was

But o! The hearts that were be-
guiied.
Three days OF honest labor,
Anxious heart, and open ear,
In the Court House all were
mingled,
Waiting there in hope and fear.
But when the judge so stern and
steady,
Looked the ballots DER with care,
He upheld u party's honor,
Finding nothing Illegal there.
