DECLINES To RUN
ON THIRD TICKET
IN SOUTH ORANGE
McDonough. in State
ment, Urges Friends TO Sup
port Citizens Party.

As a result of the attitude taken to-
day by Trustee John It. McDonough,
OF South Orange, in refusing TO be q
candidate for reelection on the Tax
payers ticket. there will be 40 third
ticket in the field at the village election
next Tuesday. In his reply to the GEM
lnittee, composed of James r. Mac
Grath, John 4. Larkin and Henry u.
Schnell, who rendered him the NJ rina-
ton of the Taxpayers organization.
the official states that the lack Of time
within which to place his principles
squarely before the taxpayers is the
reason for his withdrawal rs a candi-
date this year. He thanks the citizens
who did him the honor, and more SO,
he says. because, as he understands it,
they have solely the best interests of
the community, devoid of p~artisanship
and politics. He urges support of the
Citizens ticket at this election.
In his statement Mr.. McDonough
says he believes that the platforms
enunciated by the two existing parties,
the Citizens and Peoples, do not fully
represent the progressive spirit of the
village. that both are Objectionable in
essentials.
Says Taxpayers Should Organize.
Il think the time is opportune for an
organization of taxpayers he says,
for the purpose of supporting only
those candidates who in the fullest
represent the taxpayers in
t~erests; not that this organization
should in any sense become a political
machine devoted to ofice-seeking or
the spolls of office, but rather that it
be devoted solely to village interests as
a whole and necessarily the taxpayers
interests
The official declares he believes in the
taxpayers organization, and suggests
hat in the present campaign it can do
a great public service by using its
strength and influence in behalf of the
nominees on the Citizens ticket.

MES Discrimination ia Sc

titude of the local school authorities
toward candidates for appointment on
the teaching staff. The board, he said,
had been sharply criticized by a large
taxpayer recently for not appointing
his nephew 10 a vacancy. Mr.. Newell
said that the taxpayers relative did
not come up 10 the standard of
efficiency Established by the board, and
there was no discrimination otherwise.

Commenting on the efforts of the

strong, for Streitwolf has always been
an ardent Wilson supporter and to
| deliberately turn him down would be
to arouse the Wilson forces. 1t will
not grieve the organization much,
therefore, to see streltwolf go down
to tdefeat at the coming election. As
for the other two Democrat candi-
dates 1t viii be too bad, Of course,
but such is the game of politics.
OF course, it may be that there is
nothing to the rumor that such a
deal as here referred to has been
made. The fact remains, however,
that Willard Ross who is recognized
as the man behind" in all things
Democratic in Middlesex, is a close
personal friend of former Senator
Smith. 1t is also significant that the
M%iddIesex state committeeman have
been conspicuously absent at the
meetings when the former State
chairman Jim Nugent was ousted and
when his successor was elected. Be
sides Nugent, in making his boasts
hat he would yet defeat Wilson, has
included Middlesex among the coun-
ties that would standby him in his eff
forts. This statement of Nugent's
has never been disputed by the Mid
dlesex leaders.
The situation as it is today there
fore, would indicate that the Mid
dlesex Democrat county organiza-
ton will stand by Smith in what
ever steps he may take to carry out
his ambition to defeat Wilson, even
to making a deal with Theodore
Strong. There is but one thing for
the Democrats to do to allay the
suspicion that has already arisen, Let
the leaders repudiate Nugent as the
state committee has done and as the
better class Of Democrats all over the
state r doing, and let them come
out boldly in favor of Woodrow Viii
son and his policies. BY taking such
action the MiddIesex Democrats will
be restored to the confidence of the
people and will be prepared to go
into the campaign with a clean slate
and a good record.
