"OppOse Special interests"

Editor of Democrat: 1t is a notice
able fact, often observed in the past,
that just previous to an important elec
tion, that dead calm precedes a
great political revolution. 1t is the
belief of an observant politician that
in the present instance it augurs we'll
for Democratic success in Gloucester
county. The ticket presented by that
party for support at the polls by the
freemen of the county is faultless. 1t
represents the progressive movement
for better and more stable govern
ment-a government in the interests
of the people as whole, as opposed
to special interests. No thoughtful
voter can conscientiously disregard
the signs of the times and these tru-
isms which appeal to everyone ire
spective of former party aff1liatioE.
Messrs. Ferrell, Hurff, Lafferty and
Allen are loyal exponents of the pro-
gressive movement in Gloucester Co.
politics. Voters remember this, when
you exercise your right of franchise
on Tuesday next.

THE DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING

The issues of political campaign
were never more clearly, Cleanly and
forcefully presented in Woodbury. than
by Messrs. Silzer, Hughes and Malone
in Green's Opera House last Monday
night. Senator Silzer dealt with the
work of the last Legislature, and in
ference in methods between the Will
son way and the days when the
Guardians did the legislating at Tren-
ton. He told of how, by the vote of
every Republican Senator, the Senate
in 1909 emasculated Senator Colby's
Public Utilities bill, bill similar to
that passed last Winter, and of Sena-
tor Colby's denunciation of the Sena-
tors of his own party. He told of the
methods used by Republicans in his
county to identify purchased votes, by
tying knot in them-90 such being
found in one precinct. He told how,
previous to last Winter, "Davy" Baird
and the other Guardians, had offices in
the capitol during sessions of the
Legislature, and controlled legislation.
1t was calm, dispassionate COM

by the people.
', Congressman Hughes said he came
from Paterson 70 say word for Hon.
est Tom. Ferrell He told of the Can
non way of ruling Congress and the
members and legislation, and the new
way substituted by the Democrats
when they came into power year ago.
Dudley Field Malone, young man
from New York, leader in the Pro-
gressive movement in the Empire
State, and an orator OF the highest or
der. drove home the arguments of
both the previous speakers with an
eloquence rarely heard in Woodbury..
If you don't want Woodrow Wilson in
New Jersey, he said in closing, we do
in New York; and the country wants
him next year.
Candidates HurE and Lafferty made
brief talks, pledging lyalty to the
Progressive program as outlined in
the State Demacratic platform
VIM. C. Allen said that if elected

Farm Change Greatly Needed by the
Farmers of the State of
New Jersey

y
universal opinion from all the farm
ers and those who are interested in
farms, that the time has arrived for
changing the date of all leases on
farms from the 25th day of March,
which has been commonly known as
moving day." to either the first day
of January, or not later that the first
day of February. Many reasons can
be given for such a change. In the
first place March is not very pleas
ant month to move a family, subject
ing women and children to cold,
windy weather, as general rule.
Secondly, the mode of farming has
materially changed in the last ten
years so that now our farmers, as a
rule, are at work with their hot-beds
month or two earlier than in olden
times. | can remember the time when
a farmer who produced early tomatoes
in the Philadelphia market by the 4th
of July, was considered one of those
who sat on the front seat of the band
wagon. Now it's not unusual to see
tomatoes shipped from Gloucester
county to market about the middle of
June. This change would facilitate
matters so that the early work could
be performed on the farm for early
crops and there is plenty of it to be
done, taking into consideration the
early plowing, handling the cargoes of
manure and fertilizer on the farms,
getting the hot-beds in shape for early
cabbabge, tomatoes, egg plants, pep
pers and sweet potatoes, which works
many hardships on farmers about to
change farms, some living miles apart.
January first is the moving day in
the State of Delaware, which should
be the proper time in New Jersey.
Many owners of farms are already
dating their leases January first or
making provisions in their lease by
which, in the event of change of ten
ants, the lease will expire before the
10th day of March, under certain pro-
visions.
1t can be readily seen the hard
ship the changes would work on a
farmer having to give up a farm in
January or February and not being
able to move on another farm before
March 25th, the old worn out moving
day. The whole change should be
made by some law or custom all over
the State, or at least in such counties
OF the State that are adapted for the
growing of produce and where same
is largely grown
It seems to me that TIE State Grange
is the proper organization to take this
matter up and thrash it out in all
their different branches. And / feel
sure, by the great influence they have
over such matters in the State per-
tanning to up-to-date methods in farm
ing the change could be made in the
year of 1912 on all new leases, giving
possession of farms by the first of
January
The only objection that comes to nv
mind that could be used as an argu-
ment against the proposed change,
is the feeding up of the hay and fod-
der. This could be arranged, possib-
ly, by an exchange so far as the stalks
are concerned.
Trusting enough interest will be
taken by all parties concerned in the
farming industry start this move
ment at once and have it in force for
the coming year. /, as one, am at all
times ready to help the movement
along. Would like very much to hear
an expression from the farmers in our
county on the subject.

HONEST aToMv THE BEST OF ALL
Glassboro, Oct. 80. 1911.

Mr.. Editor: 1t is quite amusing to
read the reasons Mr.. Browning, the
Republican candidate for Congress,
says he ought to be elected to that i'm
portant office One is that he has
served sixteen years as Clerk and
knows how to be obedient to the boss
es, and special interests which have
been so dominant in the country, and
are to-day. Another is that he is very
well acquainted with Mr.. Cannon If
that be true, Mr.. Browning is not one
of the people for the people Of this
country have been trying to get ac-
quainted with Mr.. Cannon for years
but he has never recognized them
yet. Committee after committee of
the people have called on Mr. Cannon
only to be turned down and on sew
eral occasions when important meas
ures have been before the House in
the interests of the people, Mr.. Cam
non made the remark The people be
damned. They do not know what
they want" And Mr.. Browning can
not tell of one measure that Mr. CaL-
non or his allies ever advocated in
the interest of the people, and ! Will
refer to any representative of Labor in
this country Mr. Browning, if as So
ciated with Mr.. Cannon, as he says,
cares nothing for the interests of the
people except to get their votes and
then play the bluff game as they have
for years. But as Abraham Lincoln
said, You can fool some of the people
all the time, and all the people some
of the time, but you can't fool all the
people all the time" And the time is
here when men should be measured
by their integrity, by their fidelity ,and
not by their standard of wealth or
loyalty to the BOSSES Our public men
if we are to be true to the ideals of
the fathers of this Republic, must be
more of truth. And in Hon. Thomas
M. Ferrell we have man who has a
record as a citizen and legislator
that none can excell, for honesty of
purpose, fidelity or integrity. He has
no superior and his record as legis-
lator-State and National. is an open
book. He did more good for the peo-
pie in his one term in Congress than
the last incumbent did in nine terms.
AS a legislator in New Jersey, he
framed and had passed the Cash Bill,
abolishing the payment of the shin
plasters, and every working man, far
mer and business man realized the i'm
portance of that measure and the vast
amount of good it did. 1t was through
his efforts the Laber Bureau was es.
tablished, and mary other measures
/ thai have proven aoeneiit to the peo-
pie. While in Congress he was one
of the trainers of the Foreign Contract
Labor Law and also was the means of
establishing the National Labor Bu-
reau and also establishing the office of
Commerce and Labor. In fact, Hon.
Thomas NJ. Ferrell we'll earned the
name he got at the time of his Con-
gressional career Honest Tom was
the best of all yonder in Congress
Hall" He has been weighed in the
balance and never found wanting He
has always proven true to the people
and always will, and he we'll merits
the votes of every man who believes
in good, honest government of the
people, for the people and by the peo-
ple"-The Embossed, Unshackled Can
