ARONSON OUTLINES
HOW HE'D RUN CITY
Tells Big Audience, if Elected
Mayor He Will Give BUSH
ness Administration.
NEARLY ALL PARTIES ARE
REPRESENTED AT MEET
Trade Board President Burnett
Points Out NeWark's Prin-
cipal Needs.

Promising a business administra-
tion and declaring the work of run
ming the city could be conducted as
his W private business, Louis V.
Aronson, the Republican nominee
for mayor. addressed a good-sized
audience at the New Auditorium last
night.
Representatives of nearly all par
ties were at the meeting. There was
also a generous proportion of women
present.
Among the speakers were Curtiss
r. Burnett. president of the Board
of Trade: Commissioner Arthur Den
man, of the Board of Works: Simon
P. Northrup and former Judge Alfred
r. Skinner, who acted as chairman of
the meeting.
Laying special emphasis on the
point that he was Embossed, Mr..
Aronson said:
"Once more I wish to emphasize
the TACT that I stated at the opening
of this campaign and that Is that l
have gone into this thing free and I'M
tramelled in every respect; l am no
mans man; no mar controls me; no
man or set OF men have or will have
any hold or control upon me while I
am in the office of Mayor. When l
enter upon the duties of Mayor, as
I confidently expect to on January l
next, 1t will be solely as the repre-
sentative of the people.
II am not going to take up munich
pal issues. You know where l stand
on those, for the newspapers have
printed my views. But / am willing
to tell at all times what / stand for.
I stand for all thai is for the good of
Newark. Some time ago / made the
declaration that l believed in a liberal
Interpretation of the laws. 1 said
that my friends knew for one thing
that 1 did not can Interpretation
that would permit vice in any form
TO exist. 1t must not be assumed
that the people who demand a liberal
Interpretation are necessarily the sort
who wish to see vice flourish. The
presence of vice In any form in our
city is a ena and strikes first of
ell at the home and the hearth of
The poor.
IF you as a people believe that I
I'm worthy of promotion, If my work
In the past indicate fitness for much
larger work in the future, then 1
ask you to give me that encourage
ment and support which will lead
ultimately to the election of the man
you have chosen for the office of
Mayor"
Chairman Skinner. after 1t had been
explained the meeting was under the
auspices of the recently organized
Citizens Aronson League, pointed out
that it was an unusual meeting, in
that during a Presidential campaign
it was held only to advance the can.
didacy of a Mayoralty aspirant. He
stated that he believed in party or.
g~anization, but that 1t was the func
ton of an organization only to carry
out the principles of the party, and
he presented Mr.. Aronson as the
imam who is going to be the un,
bossed Mayor of Newark"
In discussing the needs of the city
MIR. Burnett said:
Newark needs a chief of police
who has in himself authority to gov
ern. | don't need to elaborate on
that for you know what it means as
well as / do"
After advocating the repaving of
Broad street, the development of the
meadows and the extension of the
supply of portable water. Mr.. Burnett
said:
I'VE need a permanent and efficient
street cleaning force-a force of able
bodied men who can work the year
round. We need more public baths
and more comfort stations. We need
less fads and follies in the public
schools and more solid. business edu-
cation that will fit our boys and girls
for business life. Frankly. the cost
of our schools will bear looking into.
education cannot be retarded, of
course.
THE city has ample funds at its
disposal. Why should not we discount
our bills and pay them promptly, as
dc successful business houses? 1t
needs only a change of system to
bring that about. Our tax rate goes
