ed by the people because the party
was clean and sweet, free from boss
taint, and party of harmony.
Mr.. Osborne analyzed the trust
question, urged honest tariff ami de-
manded currency low enough to
meet the demands of the country, de-
claring that this country should never
have panic.
In closing his very remarkable
speech Mr.. Osborne said:
Every reason that leads you to
vote for Roosevelt for President is a
reason why you should vote for Fran
els D. Potter for Congress from your
district. Your people have had a Con-
gresham long enough who has been
a part of the invisible government"
II you send Potter to Washington, you
will always know who he is working
for; you will know that he represents
you, and when you get Congress con-
trolled by men like Potter, you are

government" at Washington, and you
will see the end of the rule of special
| privilege and monopoly at Washington.
Don't overlook your Assembly can
| didates. The most important thing to
know about them is not who they are
but what they stand for and particular
ly whom they vote for for United
| States Senator to succeed Frank o.
Briggs.
Wherever the voters are getting a
chance at their reactionary Senators
who supported Lorimer and who have
stood with Aldrich and the Republican
Senate machine, they are recalling
them. The voters of New Jersey are
overwhelmingly Progressive, and they
will not consent to be misrepresented
any longer by a stand-patter and re-
dictionary like Senator Briggs.
Nobody questions Mr.. Briggs in
| tegrity as a business man or that he
| is in private life an honorable gentle
mar, but that hasn't anything to do
with the way he has done the work
New Jersey has been employing him
to do in the United States Senate In
every notable contest in the Senate,
involving special privilege on one hand
and the interests Of the public Oh the
other, Briggs has stood consistently
| with Aldrich and Root and Smoot and
| Penrose and the other representatives
of special privilege in that body-and
New Jersey will not forget that in the
first Lorimer trial Senator Briggs
voted for Lorimer.
The Republican candidates for the
Assembly in all the counties of New
, Jersey, are pledged to vote for the re-
election Of Briggs and vote for any
Republican candidate for the Assem-
bly, is a vote for Briggs.
Every Progressive candidate for
Assembly in New Jersey can be de-
pended upon to vote against Briggs
or any other reactionary, and to vote
for genuine Progressive for United
States Senator.
| Briggs has always been with the
machine, always with the bosses, a
consistent, steadfast reactionary. The
| Progressive candidates for Assembly
in New Jersey may be depended upon
to vote for a consistent Progressive
who is against all political machines
and who will always be fighting on the
side of the people and against special
privilege.
"A vote for the Democratic Assem-
| bly, candidate is vote for William
Hughes, the candidate for Senator of
the Democrats, whose platform de-
nounces as unconstitutional the Pro-
tective Tariff, which we know is in
dispensable alike to the workingman
| and the manufacturing industries of
New Jersey. The workingman and
manufacturers of this State want the
| tariff revised, but they don't want it
revised by the avowed enemies of the
protective priItiple.
"A vote for any Progressive candi-
date for the Legislature in New Jersey
is vote against Briggs and Lorimer-
ism and Aldrichism, vote against
Democratic, tariff -for-revenue-only re-
vision, and a vote to%send genuine
Progressive to represent New Jersey
in the United States Senate"
