TIVE COMMITTEE,

AT a regularly called meeting of the
Hunterdon County Republican Exec
utiye Committee, held in Pennington,
October 12th. 1909, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, Under the operation of the new
Primary Law. Political Conventions have
been abolished thereby leaving the Party
Executive Committee as the only authora
tive body for the PRONUNCIATION of Party
Platforms, therefore be it
Resoired. by the Hunterdon County Repub-
liean Executive Committee, that the follow
ing is presented as the Platform of the Re-
publican Party of Hunterdon County.
FIRST:-We declare that without regard to
political expediency the Republican Party of
Hunterden County favors, as Political His
tory shows it always has favored, the adop-
ton of Il Local Option Law The last Repub-
iican Senator of this County voted for the law
which gave the people the privilege to deter
mine whether or not they wanted the legal
lied sale of intoxicating LIQUOR in the County
and this same Law was repealed by a Demo-
cratic Legislature, after the people of the
County had indicated by n large majority
that they did not favor the sale of liquor; and
we pledge our Legislative candidates, DIR.
Vim. W. Hawke for Senator and Archibald e..
Smith for Assembly, to vote for and do all in
their power, II elected, to secure the adoption
of a Local Option Law.
SECOND:-We believe in the policy of
Stone Road building. We do not, however,
believe in building all improved roads in the
same section of the County, and we pledge
our candidates for Freehoders to give as fair
a portion of improved Roads as is consistent
with the policy of the State Road Department.
We believe also that improved Roads can and
ought to be built more economically than
have those already constructed. and we
pledge to the people the very best Roads that
can be built for the least possible cost con-
sstent with quality.
THIRD;-Our candidates are men of the
very highest standing and integrity DR.
Hawke, our candidate for Senator. is man
of the very highest class and is a type of citi-
zen that every man who knows him will deem
1t privilege to vote for Mr. Smith, our cam
didate for Assembly needs no introduction to
the people of Hunterdon County, having
borne the standard last fall and most of the
people having had the privilege of meeting
him. lie is honest and man of integrity
and of the cleanest personal habits, and we
believe that the people of Hunterdon County,
will, with pleasure, rectify the mistake they
made last year, when by so small a margin
they failed to elect him to the Assembly.
FOURTH:-Our candidates for Freeholders,
Austin Fritts for one year, Wilmer BELLS, for
two years and Edison Il. Waters, for three
years, are individually and collectively as fine
a body of men as could be selected; men of
the very highest standing in the communities
in which they reside: men who, if elected,
will give to the peoples interests the same
conscientious consideration rs they do to
their own personal and private business.
FIFTH:-Our candidate for Coroner, Frank
i. Green, of Pennington, is the son of Sheriff
George +. Green and inherits the sterling
qualities of his father. Mr.. Green is young
man well equipped for the Office of Coroner
and II elected, will, We have no doubt, give a
good account of himself
SIXTH:-Joseph A. wilmot. the candidate
for Surrogate, is resident of Lambertville
and like all the candidates, the type of a man
who ought to be elected to conduct the affairs
of the Office for the peoples benefit. He is es-
pecialiy well equipped; being of n genial dis
position and competent to fulfill all the duties
pertaining TO the Office
