Harry j. Burr Criticises

The platform on which Mayor Card

Harry J.. Burr, member of the East Or

ward, in q communication to the EVE
MING STAR.
The full text of the letter is as fol-

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In the papers yesterday noticed an
account of a meeting in the Second
ward of East Orange at which h plat
form of Mayor Cardwell was read and
his candidacy Endorsed.
I suppose that this platform will be
taken seriously by many of the resi-
dents of East Orange who are not
familiar with the existing conditions.
hut to me, a member of the City Coun-
ell of East Orange. it is a joke.
The mayor proceeds to make long
statements about abolition of grade
crossings, Improvement Of Main street.
sewage disposal. etc. when. as a
matter of fact. these are all questions
which are receiving the serious consid-
GRAFTON of the members of the City
Council. These matters have been

The mayor does not make any sug-

In his power. such as the appointment
of competent men for department
heads, etc.
1t is the same old story, the mayor
has always tried to see which way the

been fairly successful in getting aboard.

Now, what East Orange wants, is a
mar who is willing to take the steering
wheel. and who would give East Orange
a progressive, honest. economical gov
eminent, and while none of the Repub-
iican candidates seeking the nomination
are just the type of mar some would
prefer, there is no doubt but that of the
three candidates, Mr.. Cardwell, Mr..
Ougheltree, and Mr.. Grover. that Mr..
Grover would make a very much better
mayor for East Orange than either of
the other two
The Democrats have selected a man

truly, HARRY J. BURR,
Councilman Third Ward.
Mayor Cardwell said today he might
answer the statement Of Councilman
Burr after reading it carefully. He and
Mr.. Burr have not been good friends,
he admitted. and thought some of his
appointees were not satisfactory to the
councilman.
