GOOD ON TRIP
Charmed ALI With Whom He
Came in Contact.
M|LLv|LLE ENTHUSED,
Tn eatre in ViReland Was Crowded
With an Audience That Liked
the Candidate.

The day spent in Cumberland coun-
ty yesterday by Vivian M. Lewis, Re-
publican candidate for Governor. was
OF vast important and everywhere he
went he was warmly greeted, and as
sured OF earnest support.
1t was a strenuous day Mr.. Lewis
spent here. He visited scores of busy
factory plants in Bridgeton and Mill
vile, and personally met hundreds of
Industrious workingmen. The frank
young Republican leader impressed all
who came in contact with him that he
was sincere and earnest in his candi-
dacy, and that he was honest in every
pledge that he made
Mr.. Lewis in Bridgeton met hun
dreds of people,
Wherever he went there was an ap-
parent desire to shake his hand by the
people, and he had a pleasant word
for everyone. The gentlemen who ac-
companied Mr. Lewis about the city
gave him every attention.
Over in Millville Mr.. Lewis was
given most enthusiastic reception.
He made short, forceful speech to a
large gathering, and there was a Light
luncheon served at the Weatherby
House. In the afternoon the disting-
uished candidate visited the important
factory plants and there personally
met the men who work for wage.
These workingmen showed great
pleasure in having opportunity to meet
Mr.. Lewis and they assured him in
many instances that they would vote
for him.
In Vineland a splendid dinner was
served the candidate and his party at
the Baker House. Upon his arrival in
Vineland Lewis was greeted with
bands playing, red fire blazing, and
cheering crowds.
There was no mistaking the enthusi
asm of the people, and Mr.. Lewis ex-
pressed his pleasure.
At the cozy, beautiful theatre at
night, large audience greeted Mr..
Lewis. Upon the prettily decorated
stage there were scores of representa-
tive men and in the boxes and through
out the house there were number of
ladies'.
County Chairman Frank McGalliard
OF this city, presented Mayor Waldo
F. Sawyer, as the presiding officer.
The Mayor was especially eloquent,
and made one of the most interesting
speeches of the evening. He referred
to the suggestions of the Pioneer that
Vineland was the smallest of the i'm
portant towns of Cumberland County
and the most inaccessible for the peo-
pie of the county to reach, and de-
clared that the business men who
were supporting the Vineland Auditor
ium should feel hurt that there had
been a suggestion that the Lewis meet
ing should be held elsewhere. Fol-
lowing this caustic criticism, which
was really masterful, Mayor Sawyer
spoke clearly about the Democracy
and proudly pointed to the fact that
Vineland had always given substantial
Republican majorities when other
parts of the county could not be de-
pended upon. After reading off the
long list of vice presidents of the meet
ing, Mr.. Sawyer presented Mr.. Lewis
and the gubernatorial candidate was
given an enthusiastic reception. The
speech was especially we'll received.
During his speech the gubernatorial
candidate talked of fake corporations
in this manner: CAS- the head of the
state department of banking and in
surance, l know how thorough an in
vestigation is made before a charter
for bank is granted. We know all
about the institution and the state
should know as much about a corpor-
alton before charter is granted. 1
think there should be change in the
law making not only necessary the
thorough investigation of a concern
before it is Incorporated, but fixing a
heavy sentence for any one who is
connected with corporation formed
for the purpose of swindling the peo-
pie. Such change l shall recon-
mend to the legislature if l am elected
governor.
If I am elected your governor l
will not endeaYor to coerce the legis-
