FAVORS RATE.MAKING
POWER FOR COMMISSION.

Last winter a public utility bill vas
passed by the Republican Legislature.
That bill conferred considerable powers
upon the Utility Commission, but there
is u public demand that the rate-mak-
ing power be placed in that bill, and 1
join in that public demand. The Re
publican party has recommended ihAfts
platform that the ~ratezInaking clause
be passed by the Legislature. and when
it is passed L shall sign the bill. l favor
direct primaries. / think the propo-
sition is popular. / think it quickens
the public interest in political affairs.
Personally I favor the extension of di-
rect primaries to Congressman and Gov
ernor, and IL elected Governor [ will
recommend to the Legislature such a
proposition.
Il favor the distribution of ballots
at the State expense so long as they
are kept. out of the polling places. The
people should nave a chance to select
their officers on election day. and /
think their will should be properly re-
corded. l am therefore in favor of
stringent corrupt practise laws, so as
to reach anyone who offends against the
ballot by the use of money for other
wise. ] am in favor of any form of
ballot which will give to the voter a
chance to discriminatory and thought
fully exercise his right Of suffrage.
Nov the management OF a great
government like New Jersey is a big
undertaking. The collection OF the
great of the State and their
careful and wise expenditures devolves
upon the Governor, that he shall give
the same attention to the duties of his
Office that any of you men do to your
daily work, and he should, IL possible,
know something about State affairs
and state Institutions, so that those
around him may not mislead him.
MAY / say without boasting to you
that | have some knowledge or the
duties of the executive, that I know
something about State affairs and
state institutions. and if you choose ia
give me a place in the executive chair
I shall give to you to the best OF my
ability q clean and buSiness-like and
economical administration of affairs.

Immediate popularity is not always a
healthful sign. Those acts which NEE,
with public approval after they have

many of us think there Is room for
improvement, but before making
changes the Republican party deems 1t
best to gather all the information avail
able ON the subject.
During the last session of the Legis-
lature we passed a law ap~propriating

the State Board Of Assessors, in adj

to accomplish a physical revaluation of

PRAISE FOR POLICIES
OF REPUBLICAN PARTY

Then, there are the great policies OF
the party. protection TO the home in
dustry. / believe in the principle OF
protection, and think, however, there
are some schedules which might be re-
duced. There is the policy of the party
which has driven fiat money forever
away from our shores. l was reading
some time ago an interesting report of
the comptroller of the treasury, By
which it appears that the interest,"
bearing debt of the country in round
numbers is $500, 600, 900. The receipts
for the year previous $S46, 900, 900. 1t
takes France eight and one-half years
income to pay its interest bearing debt.
The cash in the treasury at the time
of making this report was 81 $3.50, 0O0, 900,
which would have paid all of Il in
terest-bearing debt. and left in the
treasury of the United States an
amount equal to the annual revenue OF
Great Britain.
Nov. my friends, as a candidate for
governor, l deem it my. duty and my
privilege to make known to you some
Of the history of the State on questions
which / think of paramount impor,
lance in this campaign. / have heard
the State referred TO as a great cor
poration n the State election as a
meeting of the stockholders of that
corporation for the purpose of selecting
their officials and Officers. think that
idea is a good one for the orderly pro-
cedure of this campaign. The Repub-
lican party should give an account or
its stewardship and should tell the peo-
pie through its candidates what 1t in
tends 10 do for them in the future.
The Democratic party has charged us
with extravagances and claim that the
expenditures of the State have in
creased from $4,000. 600 in 1898 to about
IS, 900. 900 In 1909. This statement is alb
solately untrue.
THE expenses of the State has in
creased ron two million dollars 20
eight millions of dollars. but 1t is in
to inquire and note just ex-
actIy where this money came from and
how 1t was disbursed by the party IN
power. From the books of the comp
troller of the State an analytical com
parative statement of the receipts and
disbursements in 1898 and 1908 has
been made. The year 1898 has been
taken as the last year of Democratic
rule. and the year 1909 as the last fiscal
year of the Republican rule. 1t has
been somewhat difficult to ascertain
the gross amounts Of expenditures in
the year 1893 because the treasury ac-
counts show nothing but the mel ex-
penditures in that time. The moneys
of the state were then -disbursed by
the heads of the various departments
and institutions. Under the law passed
a few years g a record of every
dollar disbursed in the State of New
Jersey Is kept in the t~reasurer's books,
and no money Is paid out except upon
warrant of the comptroller, therefore
to ascertain the gross expenditures un-
der Democratic rule 1t is necessary to
add the disbursements of the various
departments of the State and institu-
tons of the State to the net cost as
found in the treasurer's books in 1893.

Jersey has looked after schools, as l
have told you, under the Bergen act,

tional revenue was derived from rail-
road corporations each year OF SO, 500, 600.

largely improved the building of the
roads Of the State. The magnificent
highways which extend from north to
south and from east to west have been
built to some extent by the money o n
tributed by the State to the counties
and not n dollar was ever con-
tributed under Democratic rule for this
purpose. New Jersey has improved the
health regulations Of the State. 1t has
combined the State Board OF Health

the time. This statement distributes
the various expenses under eight differ
ent heads, and 1t shows that under
Republican rule the amount disbursed
in 1909 Was seven millions of dollars in
round numbers. The receipts were one
million and some odd thousand dollars
in round numbers. and the State funds
have, under Republican rule, increased
to eight million one hundred thousand
dollars in round numbers; that is, the
receipts under 1t. Under Democratic
rule the receipts amounted TO one mil
lion mir hundred thousand dollars;
that Is, In 1883, under Democratic rule,
the receipts amounted TO one million
nine hundred thousand dollars and the
disbursements to eight million one
hundred thousand dollars In 1909 under
Republican rule. Now this money has
been ~disbursed through various new
commissions, the tenement house, civil
service, public utility, charities and
corrections and others that | might
mention. I would like to ask the peo-
pie If there are any of these COM
missions they would like to abolish.
-Four million n some odd thousand
dollars were expended by the
State to the support of charitable In
stitutions in 1909, while In 1898 the en-
tire lump sum only amounted in round
figures t. $3.50. 900. The Republican
party that supports the Railway re-
has expended upon it $780,
900 per year. Flo the support of the
for Feeble Minded $191 900 per
year. | ask YOU If there is any OF
this support which the people of the
state wants discontinued? The ex-
of the Legislature under Re
publican rule were much less than
under Democratic rule. The Legis-
lative cost last year. [ think. was
$104, 900. T, y.
1T cost in 1903 1927, 900. For adver-
Using in 1899 under Democratic rule
the State of New Jersey paid In round
numbers 10000, while last year, or
the last fiscal year, they only paid
SO, 600. Now, ] do not wan to weary
you with these figures. For fifteen
years you entrusted the reins of gov
ernrlsnt To the Republican party. and
the reason you gave to them was that

apostle OF Republlcanism as
Murphy-a man who in early life I'M
selflshly went into the front in the
stirring times of 1861 to uphold the nag
and the honor of his country, and since
as a distinguished public servant has
unselfshly and honorably upheld the
interest of the State of New Jersey. and
particularly the interest of the city or
Newark. He is an embodiment of GOOD
citizenship, one who unselhshly serves
the party. 1t is the source of good
government and of necessity the bed
rock upon which institutions are round
ed. We are too prone to view good
government as something that comes
of its own volition. or, like Topsy OF
Uncle Toms Cabin that just growed.
Nothing could be more harmful or fall
l~acious. 1t is the concentrated effort of
the individual, the unit, the link in the
human chain. | am glad tonight, as |

Lands, of Michigan, and Assemblyman
Duane E. Minard were the principal

mitted to address the Lewis meeting

reasons that excluded all the other Re-
publican Assembly candidates, said In
part: - M
AT Bridgeton, on October. Z, Mr.. VIII
SON said that this State had no efficient
employers liability law because the
laboring man had been misled by the
false assurances of the Republican
party and that our legislation on this
subject stands just wherelit, stood gen.
e~rations ago. He further said of the
laborfng men: What. they want is such
an employers liability, act as will give
the working man rop assurance
against accident and relieve him OF
these subterfuges of technical law
which now make it SO extremely diff
ficult for them to get any support after
an accident has happened Other
Democrats have also accused us OF
breaking the employers liability pledge
of our 1907 platform.
Relying upon the information sup
piled by his campaign manager, Mr.
Wilson is of the Alderman
employers liability law, passed by a
Republican Legislature in 1903, thereby
fulfilling to the letter their pledge. This
law meets fully and effectively every
criticism Of DR.. Wilson, yet he says our
law stands where it stood generations
ago.
1T will not require a lawyer to SET
that. even IL defects appeared in tbs
law. any change before 1t had beer
tried and found waiting would have
been unwise and hasty. Since then the
