part have caused distrust, even in their
own party.

change there will be. They demand a
government for the people.
But now the victory is in sight. We
must name a candidate to act success
fully as the executive of such a gov
eminent, q government under which
the conservative will feel safe and
which the radical will trust.
with this in view Mercer county
presents to you a candidate who has
already led the Democracy to the very
edge of victory, a state leader reared
and educated In New Jersey, loved
and respected by all.
Three years ago you named him as
your standard bearer. Mercer county

His nomination makes victory GER
tain. He's known from Sussex to

and respect that distinguished leader
of the old Democracy, of the young
