him to the mayors chair to continue

sued since he was first elected mayor
of the city. About his opponent, the

II am confident of the result" he
declared, because / am confident of
the ability of the average voter to
discriminate between the issues at
stake in this contest. During my
compaign / have endeavored at all
times to tell the plain truth and take
no unfair advantage of my oppGnent.
1.-THE independent voter is going to
decide the result in this election.
Party lines are broken up and indi-
vidual opinion is to be reckoned upon
as the important factor in the local
situation. 1t is my opinion that the
voters of Newark will not permit ma
tional issues to influence them in
their action regarding local candi-
dates. The importance of having the
right kind of a city government is
paramount. l am assured from all
sides tina all Indications are in my
favor
