Says Welcome Cheered His Heart.
THE great welcome 1 nave received
in Essex" said Mr.. Lewis, has warmed
and cheered my heart and has left its
impress on my hand.
IF elected g~overnor>I pledge myself
TO aid in the enactment of a stringent
liability Jaw. One that will protect
workmen from the negligence of his
fellows. | favor such measures as will
make your welfare and advancement.
II stand for certain political princi-
pies" he went on. Il think 1t is the
duty of every candidate to tell where
he stands. The time has passed when
a nominee can refuse to TAX the peo-
pie into his confidence. If he soiicits
their votes he should. tell them his
views.
Last winter the Legislature passed
a public utilities bill. There is now d
demand for a rate-making clause. The
Republican platform contains a recon-
mendation for one. / think it proper
to lodge such power in the hands of
the commission. ! shall recommend to
the Legislature, if elected, the enact
ment of a rate-making clause and
when the act Is passed 1 shall sign IT.
81 think that direct primaries are a
good thing. / favor the extension OF
that principle to nominations for Con-
gressmen and Governor. L think we
should try to eradicate the expenditure
Of large sums of money in political
campaigns. I favor the publication OF
the ballot. better ballot laws and the
passage of a corrupt practise act.
II have been criticized from the plat
form because of my expression before
the State convention that I would be
q constitutional Governor. L meant
that. BY no threat, neither by with
holding of appointments or patronage
: will / try to coerce the Legislature. The
functions Of the legislative and execu-
tive power are defined by the organic
law of the State. But l shall always
feel free TO call upon the people to
back me up In n proper way for
their benefit or interest I shall do all
that the constitution permits to KEEP
New Jersey abreast of the times.
"If you see At to make me Governor
I'll give you a clean and businesslike
administration Of the State. The Re-
publicans took hold of a bankrupt
treasury fifteen years ago. You may
have e a today that there is a free
balance OF g. 600, 900 in the treasury,
We have no bonded or floating debt
and no breath of scandal has attached
to our administration of affairs.
Hope 10 Sec You All Mt State House
II hope TO see you all at the State
House. l shall always welcome yor
there. / shall accept dictation from
none, but shall welcome suggestion:
from all.
