Democratic Successes.
Mr.. Nugent declared that without
troubling our neighbors with what they
should do, eat, think and worship, the
Democratic party nae succeeded well
In Newark. It was a Democratic ad.
ministration, the present one, he said,
that had the backbone to make the in
surance company and the banks of
the city pay their just taxes.
Millions would be needed for the
great developments now planned, he
asserted, and If everyone paid his Just
taxes the city would be enabled to con-
tinue to sell its bonds at the most
favorable price of any New Jersey
city, Newark would be second only to
New York. and, from a shipping stand.
point, would surpass even the metropo-
lis. He continued:
The New Newark.
"The new Newark will be the sea-
port Of the eastern, part of this coun-
try. but support and warm support Is
needed. and for that I ask you. We
must let that village thought die out
n go ahead and we will get imne-
date returns. There are always those
who try to hold US back, as we have
seen years ago when our present water
plant was acquired, which we now
would not give for ten times the
amount 1t did cost us. 1t was built for
generation, let us build for thu
coming generation. The Democratic
party has the right spirit. Since this
party has been in power in this city
there has been no scandal on It's
escutcheon and there will be none. The
future Of Newark lies with the Demo-
cratic party.
There is the politician, OF course
the man whose intention is always
selfish, the mar who is pointed at with
the finger. Ices he figure IN such de-
velopment7 I say yes. The politician
is the man who sees far in the future
he is always working; he is the mar
in the a in order to give the mar
who holds back the easy living"
