Would Not Believe Truth.

II cannot otherwise understand their
ardor in his support. He told them in
private as well as in public, that he
meant what he said He told them
with brutal frankness, but he could
not make them believe it, And so
he was chosen, and inasmuch as he
and his colleagues running with him
all meant what they said, the new or
der was instituted, new experiment
was tried, an unusual practice in
New Jersey politics began.
Those unusual practices were the
practices of openness, the practices of
a constant frank appeal to public opin-
ion. The practices of putting every
thing upon a basis of discussion, the
practice of leaving every door open so
that the State might be the audience
and spectator of its own affairs.
THE Democratic party was fortu-
nate enough to first show that all
parts of it responded to the new inn
pulse. Did all parts of the Republi-
can party respond to that impulse? :?
i have seen no violent symptoms in this
State. / have seen no more symptoms
in this State than | have seen in Penn
sylvania. Senator Penrose and the
other gentlemen who had the State
Of Pennsylvania in their pockets, are
OF exactly the same breed and kind
as the gentleman who was once SEN
ator Kean They are the private man
ayers of public affairs.
There is an impulse in Pennsyl-
vania exactly corresponding to the
impulse in New Jersey, and there is
an enormous majority in Pennsylvania
ready the minute they find the leader
ship to do exactly the thing that was
done ID New Jersey Tomorrow I

For Coroner,
JOSEPH D. MURRAY.

The Constitution has for so long
been out of harmony-so far removed
from the conscience and the aspir-
ations of honest men of both parties
the men who, if they know the right
in politics pursue it, that it is not sur
prising that even now it fails to read
the trend OF. the times, and still be-
lieves that Republicans are going
along" and cast their votes for the
discredited old leaders.
1t fails to see that the day when
"Davy" Baird can go to the Public
Service and other Corporations and
demand large sums of money with
which to elect Senator's and Assembly
men is passed, and new era has
dawned.
1t fails to understand that the peo-
pie have been looking for leader
who fulfilled his party's and his own
public pledges, and having found one
are going to support him regardless
of the party name he comes to them
under.
The Constitution cannot understand
that a revolution is right now in pro-
gress in the United States, and no less
here in Old Gloucester County, n j.,
than in Camden and IN Philadelphia.
It cannot see why the Republican
voters were not glad to be finn
famed out of their plain right to have
a chance to select their own candi-
dates for County offices by an alleged
harmony arrangement between the
alleged leaders of both the Republi-
can factions in the county, which was
broken at the first moment that it
was advantageous to one faction to do
so.
It can't understand why the people
should not be satisfied to be finn
famed in the matter of selecting a
Congressional candidate, and why they
should not rush to the support of Can
didate Browning, and swallow all that
he represents without qualm of
POLITICAL conscience.
1t cannot understand why the peo-
pie should not be satisfied to let
s.Davy" Baird, and Mr.. Avis, and Mr..
Albright and Mr.. Gaunt do their
thinking for them, and after these
men have divided the spoils to suit
themselves, the people should not
fall in and shout themselves hoarse
and vote '-the ticket" that was given
them.
The Gloucester County Democrat
verify believes that the people of Old
Gloucester are going to give the Re-
publican manipulators an eye opener
on November 7th, and at the same
time say to Governor Woodrow Will
son we approve the public official who
redeems his pledges.

A large property owner in Deptford,
and prominent Republican in an ad-
joining county, met a Gloucester
county citizen the other day and said:
Il see the Democrats have nominated
Billy Allen for Sheriff. Well. the
Republicans might as well give up
the Sheriff contest right away, be-
cause Billy will be elected. I've had
business dealings with him for years

Chairman Avis, Of the Republican
Co. Committee, stated at Paulsboro,
last Saturday night, that the Demo-
cratic Legislature had appropriated
81 100000 more than the last Repub-
lican Legislature A complete refut-
alton of that statement is found in
paragraph IL of the Democratic State
platform:
Twelfth. We call attention to the
administration of State finances of
last year as compared with the pre-
ceding year. The annual appropria-
ton made by the Legislature for the
year 1911 was $5,072,592.77. The total
sum appropriated by the last Legisla-
ture for the year 1912, amounts to
SIS. 468, ,271. go. The latter amount ex-
ceeds the former by $685.. .625.13. In
cluded in the amount appropriated for
the year 1912, is the sum of $780,.
900. required to return collateral in
5eritance taxes paid to the State un-
der law enacted by Republican
LEGISLATURE only recently declared
unconstitutional, and 1884 600 for new
buildings and additions required for
state charities and governmental pur-
poses so that the expenditures for
state charitable and governmental
purposes will actually be less under
the present administration than for
the preceding year A conservative es-
innate will show that on Oct. 81, 1911
fhe end of the States fiscal year. there
will he in the State treasury free
balance Of at least two million, five
hundred thousand dollars, a balance
never equalled under Republican ad-
ministration.
when Chairman Avis made that
statement. be evidently thought he was
talking to jury drawn by Sheriff
wilson, and not jury Of the people.

PARAGRAPHS FROM WILSON'S
SPEECHES

In regard to the aboIishing of grade
crossings, Governor Wilson said in
his Elizabeth speech.
Il know not any method of drawing
up an Indictment against a whole
party, but | do know the definite
counts of an Indictment against the
particular group of gentlemen who
are the accepted managers of the Re-
publican organization, and ! say that
those gentlemen are still in control of
it and still determined to throttle
every effort at carrying the Republican
party forward with the movement of
hopeful reform in our day | want
to call your attention to one or two
circumstances. I am justified by the
experiences of the past nine months
in saying that when the Republican
leaders draw up platform they mean
it to be taken in a Pickwickian sense.
They don't want you to suppose they
are bound by it, and in evidence of
that | want to call your attention to
the difference in the terms in which
the two platforms are drawn up.

At an address in Hunterdon county,
he told Of the change of heart going
on in the country:
There is an extraordinary change
going on in the country, and the game,
when established. if / may Use foot

stead of closed game You know in
a closed game all kinds of dirty
work can be done in the scrimmage;
but in the open game you can see the
fellows all the time, and l have al
ways stood for the open game in foot
ball, and l stand for the open game
in politics.
I'VE want to substitute government
by discussion for government by pri-
vate arrangements. A government
by discussion will place it in every
body's hands, and a government by
private arrangement necessarily re-
suits in special privileges for some
body, and therefore what we propose
is what will be fair to everybody, and
not what will advance small group
of persons

Ex-Governor Franklin Fort, ad-
dressing large Republican meeting
in Elizabeth last Monday night gave
Governor Wilson hearty praise:
He declared the laws put through
the last Legislature, through the ef-
forts Of Governor Wilson, were lust
what he had tried to have enacted
while Governor. but that he was
thwarthed by hostile Republican
Legislature
The, failure of his party to keep its
promises, the former Governor de-
clared, was responsible for the over
whelming Republican defeat last fall.
The time had gone by, he said, when
voters could be hoodwinked by false
pretenses, and no political party could
remain long in power when it be-
trayed the people who bad placed the
reins of government in its hands.
Governor Wilson, the speaker said.
did a manly act in promptly admit
ting that he had made a mistake in
his recent Elizabeth speech, as soon
as apprised of it by Senatorial Candi-
date Carleton B. Pierce.
That he was in full accord with
most of the legislation pushed through
by Governor Wilson, was the asser-
ton OF the latter's predecessor, his
only regret being. he said, that his
own efforts in the same direction had
not been more successful He gave
high praise to the employers liabiI-
ity law, and predicted that in less
than five years its workings would be
found to give general satisfaction.
And Senator Gaunt was a member
of the Senate that thwarth III Gov.
Fort, yet aided Wilson? How do the
voters reconcile the situation?
Gloucester County Democrat., 1911-10-26

It was expected that the Constitu-
ton would sneer at the Democratic
Progressive program. But sneers are

If elected Sheriff William G. Allen
will move to Woodbury. and occupy
the house erected and maintained for
the use of that official. There are
many reasons why the Sheriff should
be on the spot not only during the day,
but during the night, too, and Mr..
Allen promises that it is his idea to
do this.

When Senator Gaunt voted against
Senator Isaac T !. Nichols Income Tax
resolution in the Legislature last
Winter, Senator Nichols, whose feel
ings were outraged by its defeat, pro-
phesied that that vote would defeat
Mr.. Gaunt for reelection. The In
come Tax has been advocated by
every President down to Taft and
none with more force than President
Roosevelt. Why could not Mr.. Gaunt
be as responsive to the sentiment Of
the country and his county as the
late President?

\ BIG BOOST FOR SLOPE

Commissioner Gilbreath met with
the chairmen of the various local com
mittees having charge of the arrange
ments for the big industrial and land
show to be held this fall. The meet
ing was called to talk over ways and
means for taking care of the crowds
VINO will be here and entertaining
them as well as getting up big coun:
ty exhibit.
Mr.. Gilbreath stated that people in
the Twin cities and in all parts Of this
state seemed to know more about the
show than do the people who\ live
here citing the the instance of man
who wanted to bring here at that time
special exhibit. This man inquired
around among different business men
down town and no one seemed to know
what to do or who to see, finally he
wandered up to the capital and there
he was told what he wanted to know.
Mr.. Gilbreath thought that the people
here ought to wake up and get a
little enthusiasm in them. Locally
people do not realize what big thing
this sto be. The state is spending
some $4,000 on the show, he has
received donations of money and mer-
chadnise from outside people of $751;
900 for prizes, he has had promises
from the railroads that they would
give low rates to the fair from all
over the west and central states and
also they are advertising the show.
In short, this is going to be the big
gest show ever held in the state.
L. X. Thompson, of the publicity
committee, briefly outlined plan for
advertising Bismarck and Burleigh
county in connection with getting peo-
pie here and lohding them here as
in estors and settlers after they ar
rived. There will be considera BILE

HUMBLE HEROISM
Senator Lea has his Veins Tapped to
Save his DyinQ Wife.

SSuoSOI 1C0 uo0 VSu0 0RpSO "
Save his Dying Wife.
The pretty, fragile vile of the hoy
senator" from Tennessee lay on
hospital cot, pallid and wan, her life
ebbing with every pulse beat. 1t was
a question of blood. Some stronger
physique must bleed that she might
live.
BY her side sat Luke Lea, the young
senator, strong, vigorous, red-blooded,
waiting while chemists tested his
blood to know whether he was fit
subject of sacrifice to his wife.
The clock licked. The little woman
on the cot went paler, and more pale.
The sands we're running low. All the
manhood, all the force of the protec.
tive instinct in Luke Lea, strained for
service, for succor He demanded
that his veins should be tapped. The
surgeons consented. A quick incision
and the red blood of youthful ath.
lete was flowing into the arteries OF
his stricken wife.
Slowly the woman's white face won
back to a tinge of color. The imper-
cepuole pulsebeat strengthened. The
surgeons wished to remove the tube
from the husbands arm. He demurred
insisting that as much of his blood
should be taken as it was possible
for him to give. FINALLY when the
tube was removed and the artery
closed, he fell back fainting in his
chair.
In the light of this sturdy class, the
divorce problem is seen for the ex.
cresence that it is. The touching in
cident of the Leas is resolved into its
proper function as the rose-colored
incident to point to a moral and adorn
tale.
