Hon. Jos. p Tumulty, private secre-
ary to the Governor, who in fifteen
minute speech arraigned the Repub-

tangible reason for the Republican
party's failure to keep it's promises"

found in it's alliance with special in
terests. Because of it's broken prom
ises, when in control of both branches

The Democratic party is not op-

! to them you shall not write the laws
of New Jersey.

hearty greeting when introduced He
said 1T was real pleasure to find
/ himself in Glassboro, and he knew he

OF November, and the open season so
he was at liberty to shoot. 1t is i'm
! perative," he said, that we shall deal
with each other in truth and simpIi-

tried an experiment, next Tuesday

The Governor then paid his respect
to the ways of nominating local Re-
publican candidates. Everybody in
the State" he said, knew that the
Republicans pursued the old way of
naming their county ticket here in
Gloucester. They got together and
parceled out the offices, in a way to
suit the favored few.
On the other hand the Democrats
called for volunteers to try for the
offices through the new process, by
which. under the law, the people
should say who should be the nomi-
nees.

hence has disqualified himself for the
work to be done in New Jersey as
we'll as everywhere else, in this great
land !"
