able to speak at Republican mass
meetings in Jersey City last night.
Four meetings were addressed by the
Republican candidate, Vivian NJ.
Lewis. In his speeches Mr.. Lewis ad-
vocated fair and honest election boards
n election reform generally. Ii his
speeches he said:
i want a law passed which VIII
insure fair and honest election officers,
and one which, in the case of election
contests, will require that they be de-
cided by some impartial authority. 1t
is a serious question to my mind, how
ever, as to the a~dvisability OF having
election officers appointed by the
courts, as such appointments might
confer upon the judiciary a political
power which might involve our courts
in partisan strife. 1t might tend also
to make the courts-for judges are
after all but human-the instruments
of political manipulation, thereby tend
ing to lessen the respect so universally
enjoyed today by the judiciary of New
Jersey. Everything that it Is possible
to do should be done to keep cur courts
out Of politics."

the night meetings. He first spoke oh
national affairs. He said that if he
should be elected to Congress he would

Ex-Attorney-Genera Wilson in his

vituperative attacks on Woodrow VIII

national issues, eulogizing President
Taft and dwelling at length upon the
of electing a Republican
Congress If the present prosperous
times were to be continued. He then

make a change.
