NEWTON, Oct. 22-Sussex county,
which for years has claimed to be the
home of the original Jeffersonian De-
mocracy in New Jersey and where today
Democracy is asserted to be stronger
than ever before. was yesterday the
campaigning ground of Vivian M
Lewis, Republican candidate for gov
ernor. The whirlwind trip began at
Sparta in the morning and ended here
tonight.
With Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Johnson to-
day was Major Wood McClave, the
Republican opponent of Congressman
Hughes.
Five automobiles met Mr.. Lewis at
Sparta. Among others who occupied
them were ex-Judge Henry Huston, of
Newton; Judge Henry c.. Hunt, and
John Stanton, of Sussex; ID. H. Nc
Carly, chairman of the Republican
Committee; r. f. Goodman, of Newton;
United States enator Kean, Captain
Theodore L. Northrup, who was one of
General Kilpatrick's scouts, and Zap
tain Duryea, who made history at APP
pomattox.
Old~-Fashioned Campaigning.
After shaking hands with a group of
citizens at Sparta the party went to
Ogdensburg where the ha~ndshaking
was continued. The neKt stop was
Franklin Furnace with more introduce
lions and ~clasping of hands in the good
ole -fashioned way of e~lectioneering in
New Jersey.
When the party reached Hamburg
some hundred people heard Mr.. Lewis,
~ AI-II-.-- ~ I--A -.AnT~
on State issues. Ex-senator johnson
kept the attention of the audience
while Mr.. Lewis and Major McClave
exchanged greetings with those pres
ent. Mr.. Johnson has many warm
friends in his native county and they
always give him a cordial greeting.
His welcome never is monopolized by
the Republicanc. The Democrats al
ways do their share in a ~nelghborly
spirit and today there was no excep-
ton to the rule.
The party paused for a few minutes
at McAfee ard then proceeded to Sus-
sex, where a meeting was held in the
largest hall in the borough. 1t was
overcrowded by about 500 people.
There, as at Hamburg, Mr.. Lewis. Mr..
McClave and Mr.. Johnson were the
orators of the day.
After speaking upon the Importance
of the tariff to Sussex County Mr..
Lewis discussed State issues, par
ticularly upon the public utility bill
with a rate-making amendment. good
roads, an employers liability law and
public schools, following the same lines
that he has generally adopted. He
told the people here, as he had told
them elsewhere, that if they did not
believe tina he would keep his prom
ises he didn't expect them to vote
for him.
At Newton for Dinner
From Sussex the party passed
through Beemerville and arrived in
Newton in time for dinner. The meet
ing here was held in the public school
building, which afforded Mr.. Lewis the
opportunity to again speak upon the
great accomplishments of the Republic
cans as patrons of the schools. He also
spoke on agriculture and showed that
he had statistical farming in New Jer-
sey at his fingers ends. Mr.. Lewis
is a lawyer by profession, but of late
his outdoor exercise has made him look
more like a farmer than a member of
the bar, as a good-natured Republican
told him when he presented him with
a handsome specimen of an apple
known as the greening.
Mr.. Lewis accepting the gift said he
was glad that it wasn't q lemon. That
will come later, pleasantly said a Dem
ocrat who was one If the trio. This
Democrat said he was rs years old and
had never voted anything but the
Democratic ticket and had never missed
voting since he was old enough to cast
