Louis v. Aronson. Republican candi-
date for the m~ayoralty, last night
addressed a number of meetings. His
schedule, however, was long. and it
was SO late when he reached ev-
eral of the meeting places that most
of his audiences had dispersed when
he arrived. At one meeting early in
the evening Mr.. Aronson after de-
livering his address was stopped by
a party of boys and at their request
gave them a short talk.
Saving his longest speech, a part
of which was written out. In order,
he explained, that he might not be
misguided by his opponents. was de-
livered at the Park Athletic Associa1
ton. Bellevills and Arlington We
nues. In 1t he remarked that his
campaign tours had brought him in
contact with the masses of voters
whom he particularly desired to meet.
Continuing. he said:
ut is a pleasure to me to have
come into contact in this way with
so many of my fellow citizens, and
now in the closing days of the CAM
paign I can say without fear of con-
tradictlon that 1 have a great many
more friends than | had when /
started out. And l shall endeavor SO
to conduct myself that no fault of
mine shall cause me to lose any OF
them.
Wants Good Government.
1.-THE one cause which l have TODD
for and worked for in this whole
campaign is the cause of good gov
eminent. l have explained that my
| conception of good government means
liberal government, as well as clean,
efficient and economical government.
It Ices not mean straight-laced gov
eminent, for hat is not the kind of
government the people want these
days.
"I have endeavored to be construc-
tive in my campaign and not destruc-
tive. 1t seems to me to be more i'm
portant for a candidate to set forth
his own views and purposes than to
indulge in attempts to tear down
the regulations of other candidates.
II am a business man and not a
politician. l 90 not seek to arouse
your admiration for oratorieal flights
or adroitness in discussion, nor would
l get far along these lines If I should
attempt it. All 1 can do is to speak
plainly. All l want you to believe, SO
far as l myself am concerned, is that
l am honest enough and intelligent
enough and courageous enough to
carry out the pledges l have made
during my campaign.
II have been very careful in MAX
ing promises, because l did not want
to make a promise ! could not fulfill.
And all the promises l have made
may be summed into one, namely,
that, if elected to the office of Mayor
of Newark, l will do my level best
to give you the kind of government
you want and to be at all times re-
sponsive to your will.
Not Anyone's Ornament.
by this time. | trust, you know
me we'll enough to know that l
haven't any strings on me. My p
ponents have RECALLED you with cam
paign fiction to the effect that GER
lain persons who are supporting me
in my candidacy as going to wear me
as a sort Of ornament. like a vest
pocket fob. after 1 am elected Mayor,
AS a matter of fact ] never had a
habit of dangling from anybody's
vest-pocket. If you want to find out
whether I am the kind of man who
is capable of being his own boss, ask
anybody who knows me-"
President Harry B.. O'Connell, of
The Board of Works, in urging his
own reelection and hat of Commits
sioner Mungle, declared that, not
lwithstanding what their opponents
had said, that they would retain the
men employed by the present board
If elected, a Democratic victory would
certainly result in many discharges.
I'm fact" he said. Il was told by a
Democrat that he would like to get
hold Of the board to see what the
civil service amounts to. Well, you
know it's easy enough to get some
thing on anyone"
Mr.. Mungle also made an address
and, besides other local and State
candidates TO speak, there was Judge
Oliver Lippineot, of the Republican
national headquarters, New York.
William e. Andrews, of Hastings,
Neb.. auditor for the United States
Treasury Department during two
years of Cleveland's last administra,
ton and during the Mckinley, Roose-
welt and Taft administrations, de-
scribed the Bull Moose campaign as
like unto the bullfrogs in a pond.
''They make a lot of racket, at which
some people might take fright. but
whe the noise makers are captured
and counted they are very rev in
number" he said.
Mr.. Andrews felt justified in his
opinion thai not one of the Presidents
under whom he served, has turned
back a larger measure of good to the
American people that President Taft.
prosperity now crowns nation"
he said, "as never before" Statlsti-
cal figures flowed from the speak
er's tongue as readily as words. and
he concluded with the exclamation
that he could not see how the voters
of a State, with Industries. such as
New Jersey has, could vote for any
thing but the protective tariff.
