The Primary Nominees
For the first time in New Jersey each
voter will have the right this year to
vote for a choice for U. s. Senator. 1t
is not binding on the legislators TO vote
for the popular choice, but it is a step
towards electing the peoples choice and
in some states the nominees for the leg
israture are pledged to vote for the pop
ular choice.
The first candidate on the Democratic
ticket is
JAMES E. MARITIME
Z. Last weeks issue of Bryan'y Com
moner said:
"James E. MARITIME, who is a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination Of
u. S. Senator before the New Jersey
primaries, September 10, declares in
favor of a tariff for revenue only, de-
nounces the trust system, favors physi-
cal valuation for railroads, property
parcel post, postal savings and election
of senators by the direct vote OF the
people,"
Such credentials insures every demo-
crat that in voting for farmer"
MARITIME they have a genuine progress
siye man and one who has been a cru
sader for the party in the past twenty
years. He should receive the vote OF
every man who voted for Mr.. Bryan
two years ago.
Frank McDermit, his opponent, Is a
lawyer in Newark, an unknown guam
tity, and a stool pigeon for some Z
After the election of 1892, most all
the people believed Leon Albeit was
the logical choice and would be elected
u. S. Senator by the legislature which
was democratic by a large majority.
But MI. Albeit was kicked down and
out by those lie had made politically and
James Smith, Jr., the recognized Wall
Street intermediatOr, was elected and
has been an incubus on the party ever
since.
From our point of view it looks as If
Frank McDermit was d stool pigeon
for James Smith who would not dare
go before the people on a popular vote
any more than John Keen, nor David
Baird are doing on the Republican side.
EDWARD C. STOKES
is South JERSEYS popular choice for U.
S. Senator. He is an orator who does
not have the money but has the brains
to bring renown Oh the State. While
preaching some reforms they failed to
materiaIize when he was Governor.
Franklin Murphy is a millionaire who
was Governor a few years ago. He was
the most disliked Governor for years.
The most notable acts Of his admins.
tration was that he had a $500 bath tub
put in the State House for his personal
use to bath in and defended trusts in
a message to the Legislature.
Charles N. Fowler is classed as an
insurgent, not from principal, but from
a grievance in being turned down on
his financial plan of reforming the cur
rency.
David Baird, of Camden, and U. S.
Senator John Keen are also Republican
candidates for U. s. Senator, but they
do not care to have their names come
before the people.
Only an Assemblynan will be elected
turnout the county this year. John ID.
Schade is the only man who has filed a
petition for the Democratic nomination.
JOEL BORToN
For the Assembly nomination Joel
Borton, of WOodstown, and Charles L.
Richman, of Upper PittsgrOve are COL
testants. Mr.. Borton was a candidate
for the nomination two years ago on
the local option platform and he le,l the
party leaders to get others to come to
that pledge. He is not a politician, but
a Quaker preacher. He is the kind of
man whom the party ringsters and
roOsters do not want and can not use.
He is the kind of man needed in the
legislative balls. A mar of sterling
principal who has a mind of his own
and knows how to express it. =
He is one of these fellows whom John
G. Holland described years ago as fol-
lows:
THE STATESMAN
God give us men, a time like this de-
mands,
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith
and ready hands;
Men whom the love of Office can not kill,
Men whom the spOils Of office can not
buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor and will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And damn his t%reacherous batteries
without thinking;
Tall men, sun'crowned, who live above
the fog
In public duty and in private thinking;
For while the rabble with their thumb
worn creecs,
Their large professions and their little
deeds
Mingle in selfish strife, lol Freedom
weeps,
Wrong rules the land, and waiting JUS
tice sleeps.
While MI. Borton has given a pledge
to the Anti. Saloon League 10 introduce,
and support their measure, such is not
required from him, because he favOrs
it from principle and not from party
