vor of some one, but q choice of oppO-
sition to some one.
Is that the way, do you think, to Sc
cure real expression of party opinion,
assuming that opinion is divided? Are
you willing to give blank power of
attorney to any set of men authorizing
them to say for you what are your
views, who is your candidate? If you
We're willing to give such power, are
these the men you would give 1t to,
knowing, as you do, what is the main
spring Of their motives? Do you really
mean that you are content with any
views and any candidate that these
men may select for you so long as they
are anti Wilson,"
what, you may ask, has this to do
with Hearst2 1t has to do with Hearst
because the men / have referred to are
working with Hearst for precisely the
same object-to 'kill off, Wilson-be-
cause that has been Hearst's plan of
campaign in every one of the many
battles he has fought. He never has
stood for any candidate except himself
and those he has created. He has al
ways worked to skill off, any candi-
date who stood in his way. Under
whatever party name he chooses to
fight, and he has fought under them
all in turn, his methods are always the
same, the methods of the political as
sassin.
BY these methods he did what he
could to "kill off, Wilson in Illinois.
He has repeated his performance in
Massachusetts, He is preparing to do
the same here in New Jersey.
And he has published in his newspa-
pers the fulsome letter In praise of his
political activities and ambitions writ
ten by the leader of the nti-Wiison
forces in this state.
What is more natural than to find
these congenial souls in close alliance
when the object is to ''kill Off the
man they both hate and fear? What
would be more natural, more charac-
teristic of both parties to the alliance,
If when the convention met it appear
ed that no one of the avowed, serious
candidates had the necessary majority,
for these precious allies to uncover
their real plans, to make good the life
ambition of the one and by the same
stroke crafty the lust for vengeance
of the other? This is no impossible
ity. It is a serious menace to the
hopes Of the party. The Clark dele
gates are in great part Hearst made
delegates. The anti Wilson delegates
in this state are Hearst backed dele
gates.
Do the Democrats Of New Jersey
really want to run the risk Of forcing
q Hearst candidacy upon the party?

The Localized Outlaw

The liquor traffic has been we'll called
"The LOCALIZED Outlaw" and the fact
that it is truthfully so called is a blight
upon our civilization. We talk of press
ing questions; but the man who can see
will observe that in these times there
lies beneath all other matters this:
Whether the profigate misery, which
we call intemperance, and which dogs
the footsteps of our modern society,
shall be allowed to exist? Said the
great Gladstone: "The ravages of in
famine and pestilence combined" and
Chief Justice Coleriuge exclaimed: 81
can keep no terms with this vice that
fills our jails with criminals, destroys
our homes, debases and brutalizes the
people, and is the ulcer that is eating
into the very heart of our nation"
Sooner or later the intelligent and pro-
gressive element of society must drop
all lesser enterprises and continue on a

national progress and the deepest dis

dictments against this legalized outlaw
and because of crimes committed against
all thatis good and true and beautiful,
this felon should be banished from our
land:
First Indictment Physiologically
liquor is the deadliest of enemies to the
human body, its purity and healthful-
ness. We call it aqua vitae; better call it
aqua mortis. The highest medical au-
thorities insist that it produces a deadly
poison. It impoverishes the body, not
feeds it; scorches instead of warming
it destroys instead of erecting it; de-
bases and degrades
Second indictment: alphabetically,
it ruins mans intellectual and moral
powers Why stop to argue this? 1t is
a universally recognized fact how this
accursed thing impairs memory, debili
tates the understanding, making man
