CANDIDATES OUT
FOR HOME RULE
Essex County Men, in Platform,
Declare Pledges of 1907
Have Been Redeemed.

In accordance with their usual GUS
I tom, the eleven Republican assembly
candidates have subscribed to plat
form in which, after indorsing the state
Republican platform and candidates
they promise many other things ana
claim that every pledge in the Repuoii-
can platform of 1907 has been redeemed
by successive Republican legislatures
Governor Fort has expressed some
what different views, but the nominees
pay no particular attention to what
the chief executive may have said the
platform reviews the ante-primary
statement that the Republican assem-
lly nominees are being opposed oy
certain railroad. 1t reads In fuh as
follows:
"The undersigned, Republican nomi-
nees for members of the General AS
sembly from Essex county. hereby
4 heartily indorse the platform adopted
bv the Republican State convention
held on September 90, 1870
Pledges Carried Out.
every pledge made by the Repub-
lican party in it's State convention
platform of 1907 has been carried out
by the Republican legislatures that
have interviewed, and the statutes
which have been enacted into law
demonstrate that fact beyond any pos
sible question.
This record of performance is
guarantee to the people OF this county
that the pledges made this year VIII
also be performed
During the last session Of the Legis-
lature the Republican members from
Essex county persistently and success
fully opposed the bill introduced on be-
half of certain railroad corporations,
which would have arbitrarily compelled
every municipality to contribute S5 per
cent of the entire cost of eliminating
erade-crossings. and we pledge our
selves to continue the fight against this
iniuuitous measure. Because or the
stand taken by the Essex Republican
assemblymen of last year a certain
powerful railroad corporation is using
all its influence to defeat the Republican
candidates for Assembly this year, ano
it is only right and fair that the people
of Essex county should know this lact.
