which particularly qualify him for the
high and most responsible office of
chief executive of our great State, and

sey have experienced in the past fif-
teen years that the men who have been
elected to serve their interests and to
see that the avs we're so enacted and
enforced as to insure a square deal to
all have proved r%ecreant to the trust
confided in them, and have been, with
.the alliance of a Republican Legisla-
ture. weak and submissive creatures in
the hands of an inc%onsiderate corporate
influence; and
People Should Arise.

the people of New Jersey should arise
in their might and relegate the Re
publican party. whose creatures the
said offending public officers have been,
to political obscurity and oblivion; and
whereas, In the person of DR..
Woodrow Wilson, Democratic candi-
date for Governor of New Jersey, the
people, irrespective of party, will have
as Governor a man who will ably. fear

corporate influences administer the
duties and discharge the responsible
ties Of his office; and
Whereas, Throughout the United

of unrest attributable to the malad-
ministration of public affairs by the
Republican party; therefore, be it
