Gloucester County Democrat., 1911-11-02

Opera House, Salem, by Thomas M.
Ferrell candidate for Congress.
MY past political experience and
effort to discharge my duty, as it ap-
peared engrafted in me, has been in
the belief that a platform promise
should be sincerely taken as pledge
of duty to be conscientiously perform
ed. y
Il endorse and will stand back OF
the policy inauguated by the last Con-
gress, whose purpose was to lessen
the burdens of the people, whereby
cheaper food and raiment, broader
market for industrial and agricultural
products might be attained"
Il believe that the reduction of the
Tariff Schedules should be so laid that
sufficient revenue to meet the ex-
penses of an economical government
might be obtained, and if protective
results are reached thereby, its bene-
fits should be equally applied to the
employee as to the employer, As
have found among the high protected
industries the workman secured his
/, rate through his labor organizations
or unions"
Il have seen the effect and adjust
ment of the organized employees of
| industries and corporations, and / am
assured by actual and personal ex-
perience and observation, that the in
dustries and corporations are best
served when organized or union labor
are employed. If arbitration is adopt
ed as in the great glass bottle indus
! try of the country, the necessity of
strike or lockout would not exist
to secure fair treatment and just
wages for services rendered"
Il favor the increase of pen
sions of the veterans of the
| late great Civil War to such an
extent as to favor the provisions of
the Sherwood Bill now pending in
| Congress. That will offer comfort in
| the last years of these noble men
who took part in the great battles of
our Nation =
Il am not in favor with the policy
of the Russian Government in its
treatment to it's Hebrew subjects that
are settled in the confines of the En-
pire, which has led to persecution
and determination. The spirit of Lib
erty and Equality that comes to me
through the patriotic blood of family
is aroused when I see the unjust OPP
preston, in this case, laid on the
weak by the cruel hand of a powerful
Empire. | believe that reconciliation,
equal justice and privilege should APP
ply to all progressive nationalities,
the Jew as well as the Gentile.'

It's "a mighty healthy thing these
times to change Sheriffs occasionally

in this campaign for Democrats. Ger

The Constitution bewails the fact
that the registry lists in Camden are
5000 votes short this year. 'Dlvy"
is wailing too, but the falling off is
not in homes of flesh and blood voters,
but in Carroll's ghost house and va
cant house, and vacant lots about
Camden.

We don't know that there is any
need for agents or challengers in this
county. We do not know that there
is crooked election officer in all the
one. hundred and fifty-two, but agents
of all parties should be on hand while
the count is in progress and see to it
that ballots are read as marked, and
