The Lambertville record., 1910-10-28
OUT FOR LEWIS
ON The STUMP
High Glass Orators Supporting
the Republican Candidate.
Every Section Of the State
Represented.

Vivian NJ. Lewis, the Republican
candidate for governor, cannot COM
plain that the Republicans of the state
who are capable Of making political
speeches have not rallied to his sup
port. On the contrary, they have done
SO to man, and at the headquarters
of the Republican state committee it
was stated that the speakers commit
tee had wealth of good material.
It is hardly necessary to suggest to
those acquainted with New Jersey pol
itics that the bright particular stars
as speakers in the Republican party
are such men as John w. Griggs, Ed
ward G. Stokes, Edmund Wilson, Gov
ernor Fort and Franklin Murphy.
Besides these men there are great
many others, mostly younger. some Of
whom give promise of taking front
rank in oratorical honors in the years
to come. James Mccarthy. assistant
prosecutor Of the pleas of Hudson
county, who made hit at the Repub-
lican state convention. is very much
in demand and has placed all his time
at the disposal Of the state committee
for the campaign. Mccarthy makes
rousing speech and always awakens
enthusiasm Alfred Barber of Tren-
ton, while lacking some of the graces
Of the finished orator, makes speech
that by its earnestness and sincerity Is
most convincing and always holds an
audience.
Prosecutor Corssley Of Mercer coun-
ty Is also In much favor as speaker.
Tom McCran Of Paterson. one Of the
assemblymen from Passaic county, Is
rapidly making name for himself on
the stump. Naturally he is very much
interested in Mr.. Lewis success. he
and the candidate being close friends.
Pierre Garven of Jersey City Is an
other speaker in this campaign who
takes with an audience. A close Sec
ond to him Is George Vickers. who is
Mr.. Garven's assistant in the prose-
cutor's Office in Hudson county.
Another man whose speeches are
likely to have considerable influence
in the campaign is Edward D. Duff1eld
of Newark and South Orange. Mr..
Duffield was formerly assistant attor-
ney general Of New Jersey and is now
counsel for the Prudential Insurance
company. The significance OF his ap-
pearance in this campaign, however,
rests upon the fact that he is the presi-
dent Of the Princeton Alumni associa-
ton Of New Jersey and that the Duff
field name is one of much significance
in the traditions Of Princeton uni
versity. Mr.. Duffield's father was a
professor in Princeton. His brother,
the Rev. Howard D. Duffield Of New
York city. Is one of the most eloquent
graduates Of Princeton. and various
branches of the Dufield family. direct
and indirect. are also Princeton men.
It will therefore be seen that Mr.. Duff
field in advocating the election Of Mr.
Lewis will have great weight among
Princeton graduates Of the state. I
Thomas ] Hillery. the former sena-
tor from Morris county, is another at
tractive speaker. John D. Prince. SEN
ator from Passaic county. Is in much
demand this year. Senator Prince.
who is linguist, not only makes a
good speech in English. but can carry
an Italian, Polish or Slav audience.
Former Assemblyman Frank Fess of
Camden is also one of the more vigor-
GUS of the younger speakers.
There Is considerable demand
throughout the state for the services
as speaker of William P. Martin, the
Essex county candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for governor. Mr..
Martin has not yet appeared in the
campaign, but it is expected that he
will become very attractive later.
Frank Sommers. former sheriff of
Essex county and present railroad
commissioner is also likely to get into
the campaign. 1t is no news that
George Record in his campaign for
congress in the Ninth New Jersey dis
trict is making telling speeches and
has attracted much attention to him.
self by accepting President Wilson's
challenge to debate.
Among other speakers who have ten
dered their services to the state COM
mittee are Judge Huston of Sussex,
Frederick r. Lehlbach of Essex. Judge
Higbee of Atlantic. Bloomfield Mince
Of Cumberland, John Boyd Davis of
Gloucester, David c. Watkins Of Glou-
cester, Colonel Fuller of Jersey City,
William ]. Bradley of Camden. Joseph
s. Frelinghuysen of Somerset. Ernest
r. Ackerman Of Union. DR.. Crowther
of Perth Amboy. Austin Colgate of Es-
sex, the respective candidates for con-
gress and the numerous other Repub-
licans more or less well known in the
state.
