LEWIS A PATRIOT
At So MUCH PER
PATE '-CREEDE
East Orange Republican Tells
First Voters Why He Snp-
ports Wilson.

"Vivian Lewis is a patriot, but al
ways at so much per pate" Is n
way Thomas r. Creole, of East Or
ange, a lifelong Republican, writing
from Fort Smith, Ark, in "A Talk to
First Voters sums up the Republi-
can candidate for governor of New Jer-
sey. In his letter Nh. Creede says:
Il have just finished a week in Ten
nessee, and. L am convinced that the
young American of today Is the bal
ance of power all over the country. Us
Republicans in New Jersey smetimeos
think we are doing great stunts by o.
~casionally voting for a Democrat, but
the sacrifice to us IL nothing when COM
pared with the social o~stracism which
it means in many sections of the South
for a Democrat to vote for a Republic
can. Yet the Democrats of Tennessee,
realizing that their party managers
were corrupt, and their present Gov
ernor an unsafe man, have banded to-
gether, and agreed to vote for a young
Republican, Captain Hooper. by name.
You will find Tennessee in the Repub
lican ank on November 8, by a ma
iority estimated from thirty to fifty
thousand.
Solid South Is Broken.
THAT will be h first time ever q
Republican has held that office, and 1t
breaks the solid South and opens up
possibilities that will bring both sec
tons closer together. All this, boys, Is
brought about by a young man who
gained his title by fighting in the Phil
ippines with the famous First Reg1-
ment of Tennessee. This prompts me
to bring this before the young men, first
voters in the Oranges, and call their at
tention to the independent spirit that is
rushing through our country, and put
q few facts before them that may pos
sibly help solve the question. Should l
vote for Wilson?
Let US first look at the other candi-
date, Mr.. Lewis, n see whether he
holds out to us the positive assurance
for uplifting the office n turning
down the political bosses. MI. Lewis Is
a respectable man, in politics he is
known as an inside man. always in
side on the payrolls. always working
with thu machine and the bosses and
not only is a product of the machine,
but a beneficiary thereof financially.
Could it be expected that he would rise
and smite the men who made him?
Governor Fort appointed him banking
commissioner al a big salary, and that
office he now holds. Would it be rea-
sonable to expect him to show up the
shortcomings of the present admins
tration?
Lewis, the Patriot.
mo. WV Lewis is too good a fellow
to do anything like that. He has
already asserted on public platforms
THAT no breath of scandal was con-
nected with the present administration,
forgetting, of course, the indecent
orgies at midnight in the Capitol,
which Governor Fort declined to in
vestigate. Therefore, he Endorses the
present administration, which, through
it's lack of loyalty to the people, more
thar any other cause, has made the
party's downfall certain on November
8. Boys, to sum it up, Vivian Lewis
is a patriot, but always at so much per
Pate Never has he been known to
serve his city, his county or his State,
unless he was well paid for 1t.
"Of course, that-is nc crime, but it
looks to me, II you elect him, the same
old bosses and ofice-holders will IN
tinue along and the people get no re-
lief. The Republican party then will
sink lower and lower in the estimation
of the people and rise higher and
higher in the favor of h corporations.
But, you say, Woodrow Wilson has
bosses behind him. Yes. boys, and he
will keep them behind him, and, after
election when they bob up, he will still
say, Get behind ne, and stay there
