HIS POSITION
Statement Regarding Accep-
tance of Vice Craftsmanship
OF State Committee.
TO FIGHT DEMOCRACY
Says Republicans and Pro-
gressives Should Unite
Against the Common Foe.
TO FIGHT DEMOCRACY
(From the NEWS Correspondent


Trenton, Sept 24-Following &e
reelection of former Governor Ed
ward G. Stokes as vice chairman of
the Republican State Committee, he
has been asked many times what
position he proposed to take in the
present campaign. Today he issued
the following statement:
THE action of the Republican
State Committee, of which am
member from Cumberland county,
in remaining me for the Office Of vice
chairman, which l have held for
more than a decade, has been used
both as a text and query as to my
attitude in this campaign.
81 had supposed that in the sever
al interviews / have given my posi-
ton had been made perfectly clear,
but apparently in this political at
mosphere the man who uses the
language of courtesy and who falls
to call someone hard names Is sus-
pected.
Il will endeavor, however, to
make my attitude perfectly plain,
even at the risk of repeating what
have already said.
First l have been a Republican
for years, not for partisan reasons,
but because I believe that the Re-
publican party has done more for
this country and more for the cause
of human liberty and human welfare
than any other secular organization.
1t can be made as useful in solving
the social and industrial problems of
today as it was in the days of Lin
coin. AT the present time the party
situation is desperate. He who fails
to acknowledge this fact, and os-
trich-like sticks his head in the sand
to blind his view, lacks true courage
and sincerity.
Second. ] have insisted for some
time, and still insist, that the loss
of prestige and the lack of conf
dence which the Republican party
has suffered since 190S-the year of
the f1ood-tide of its success-has
| been due to unfortunate leadership
and management and when ! am on
the stump this fall l shall charac-
terize this in terms less diplomatic.

MAKE RAID ON
COAL THIEVES
Arrest Girl Stealing from
Haney's Yard Today.

Stealing of coal from yards of
dealers has been curtailed by the
police and efforts are under way to
break up the practice entirely. AS
a result one arrest was made early
this morning, two others are expect
ed today and more may follow dur
ing the week. AS the result of COM
plant by George Haney, a dealer,
that he was constantly losing quanti-
ties of coal by thefts, Patrolman
Rymarczyk conducted a raid about 6
O'Clock this morning. He nabbed
Annie Kramer, twelve years old, of
479 Miller street, while in the act of
stealing coal from Mr.. Haney's estab-
lishment, and two boys who were
stealing coal in similar way ran
and escaped the officers clutches
The names of the boys were present
ed to the court. 1t Is intended to
|apprehend them today for hearing
together with the Kramer girl at s
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The girl sobbingly told Recorder
kehoe when arraigned this morning
that she had never stolen coal before.
She admitted having picked coal
from tracks on one other occasion,
but declared she stole coal for
the first time this morning. She told
the court she did it while accom-
pany some other boys and girls of
the neighborhood in which she lived,
and not because her parents ordered
her.
Mr.. Haney appealed to the court
for action, which might have a ten
dency to break up the wholesale
thefts of coal. He stated he would
gladly pay for the services of a pri-
vate officer to gather evidence, If
necessary. Thefts, large and small,
have been going on about coal yards
particularly Mr.. Haney's for a long
time, he stated TO the court. He
1 his yard was most easily ac-
cesslble to young thieves, and was
most desirous because they could
easily escape from it. He stated coal
was not alone picked from about
the property, but was taken fri
bins and even run out of bins
through chutes into piles on the
ground, from where 1t was put in
bags and carried away. He main
tanned that scores of families In the
old Rosette building stole and never
bought coal, and many others stole
the product to SELL
