INSTRUCTS OFFICERS OF
ELECTION BY "MOVIES"
Films and Slides Teachers of
Members of District Board.

With the aid of moving pictures and
stereopticon views County Clerk John
b. Woolston last night instructed the
ZOO members of the District Board
Of Elections as to their duties in
preparation for their work at the
polls.
The tremendous size of the blanket

that extreme care was necessary IN.
handling it on the small shelf with
which the booths are provided to pre-
vent puncturing the pa per. lie also
instructed. them in the method of vot-
ing and of tallying afterwards.
The election officers were given de-
tailed information as to their duties
by Watson Rodemann, clerk of the
County Board of Elections, in
a short address. Mr.. Rodemann
stated that a contrary opinion had
seemed to prevail relative to removals
after registering. ANY voter who
has moved since registering either on
September 10 or "A, must obtain a
transfer, on the days specified for the
purpose by the court, which are the day
prior to and election day." he said.
The voter will be required to sign his
name and answer the fourteen ques-
tions asked. 1t is a mistaken idea,
MIR. Roderman said, that a man may
have his name stricken from the reg
lister in his former district and simply
register in the district to which he
has moved. Election officers will not
accept such registration without Off
cial knowledge that the same was
stricken off at the former place.

MOOSE CONGRESS
NOMINEE AT PLANT
Herman B. Walker Gives Elec-
tricaI instrument Makers a
MONDAY Talk.

Speaking to several hundred men
Instrument Company during their
noon hour, Herman b. Walker, candi-
date for Congress on the Bull Moose
ticket, scored the Democratic party
and advanced several new arguments
in support of his party's platform.
Speaking of the desirability of a
tariff commission, he said: III we had
this commission to hold a sword sus-
pended over the heads of our great
corporations we could accomplish
wonders in the way of reform. If
such a commission went to the steel
trust or any other trust and said If
you don't amend conditions in your
factories in the way of child labor
and shorter hours, If you persist IN
becoming a monopoly by absorbing
your competitors, If you give priyes
another boost or do anything else
that is wrong we will take our pro-
%tective tariff away from your support,
don't you think that would bring them
to terms and obviate many bad con-
ditions we are now forced to endure?"
Taking up point by point Mr.
Walker gave arguments in teurn fol
initiative and referendum, for the re-
call of judicial decisions and the regu-
latlon of trusts by national law.
'The Democratic theory of State
rights is all wrong" he said.
What good would it do to pass
laws regulating trusts in one State ~
a number of States? They would all
flock to those States where they were
not restricted, and the only way they
could be attacked would be on the
grounds If some technical violation.
and the result would be the long
futile and ridiculous suits which Taft
and Wickersham are now waging and
have waged.
THE same applies to child labor
and shorter hours. If a law were
passed in New Jersey prohibiting the
one and enforcing the other New Jer-
sey manufacturers would either have
to violate the law | norder to COM
pete with manufacturers in other
States. or move their factories to
those States. National restrictions
would equalize things and thus make
a reform possible
The crowd remained orderly and
very attentive throughout and dis
persed with o cheer as the whistle
called them to their work.

LAST DAY FOR
REGISTRATIONS
Voters Who Fail to Get Names
on Books Lose Ballot
at Election.

Voters of this city will have their
last chance to register today in order
to be able to vote November ) fol-
President and other candidates. The

where the population is less than 5000
il will be next Tuesday. Personal
registration is necessary. The polling
places open at l o'clock, and voters
will have until 9 o'clock to present
themselves to the election officers.
The Progressives who did not vote
at the primary in this city will reg
lister today, and the leaders of the
Bull Moose were busy going over the
old list.
The Democratic and Republican
leaders and their assistants will do
their utmost to get out the full vote,
and as a result will work hard today
getting the men who, failed to vote
at the primaries enrolled.
1t was estimated that about 80 per
cent. of those who failed to register
at the primaries were Progressiyes.
The ward candidates were assisting
in seeing that their friends were put
on the list. Many predict that the
registration figures of the grand total
will be higher than ever before. This
will mean that the city and county
as well Will poll a greater vote than
ever before.

BULL MOOSE FLAY
G.O.P.FREEHOLDERS
Declare Planks in Platform
Upon Which Candidates
Ran Are Broken.

In the platform made public today
by the Progressive candidates for the
County Board of Freeholders an at
tack is made upon the Republican
freeholders elected last year. The
statement issued by the Progressives
say that the Republican freeholders
went before the people on a splendid
platform of principles, but that
every plank that they offered to the
public has been broken.
Severe criticism is made of the
present boards attitude toward civil
service, of their removal from office
of Warden Steadman. of the Over
brook Asylum. and Warden Martin,
and of their manner of awarding
contracts to Favored dealers and
contractors instead of through COM
petitive bidding.
The platform of the Progressives
sets forth that the candidates favor
the maintenance, extension and i'm
provement of the system of purchas-
ing all supplies for the county by
competitive bidding, and they are
opposed to the tendency of the pres
eht board in creating numerous pc
sitions and raising the salaries of
county employees that they deplore
the attitude of the present board in
removing, without cause, the war
dens of the Overlook Asylum and
the Essex county prison., which is
contrary to the spirit and intent OF
the civil service law: they believe
great care should be exercised in the
grant of franchise rights and privi-
leges to public utilities companies to
make use of county roads and
bridges.
The speedy elimination of all
grade crossings is favored by them,
and they favor a logical and system
attic policy of repairing county roads
TO meet the new traffic conditions;
that they favor undermining the
county penitentiary and making it a
reformative, rather than a punitive
institution; that they are opposed to
the theory that the business of the
board may be conducted in secret
session or caucus.
They believe in the widest publicity
for the financial affairs of the coun-
ty; that they believe in an annual
audit of the books of the county;
that, wherever possible. citizens OF
Essex county should have the prefer
nee in all county work, that a
woman physician should be as
signed to the staff at the Overlook
Asylum. and they favor the policy
Of Judge Martin requiring the in
mates of the penitentiary to work
out their costs and that they believe
in the independent, economical and
business administration of county
affairs along progressive lines.

Home Rule Advocates.


Home Rule Advocates.
Recognition of the necessity to re-
plan the city on a broad comprehen.
sive scheme and appointment of a
commission to facilitate such improv-
ing; abolition of grade crossings; re-
lief of congestion at the -Four
Corners by means of a municipality
owned subway or system of subways;
fixing of a safe and sane ~Independ-
ence Day; interposition to prevent
precipitate action on reclamation OF
meadows and development of water
ways which might not secure to the
city large benefits are other ques-
tons dwelt upon in the history.
On home rule the book says:
THE mayor has been a persistent
fighter for home rule for the city of
Newark. He believes that the citizens
are capable of regulating their own
affairs, not only in matters of excise,
but in matters of purely city business
without the Interference of the State
legislature. He believes, moreover
that control by the legislature is one
of the most fruitful sources of NUM-
cipal misgovernment. This has been
q prominent plank of the platform on
which he has appealed to the citizens
of Newark for support in three cleo
tions, and the response given him on
each occasion has satisfied him that
in this matter he is representing the
wishes of the great city of Newark,
as we'll as his own settled conyic-
tons"
A review of the record, it is argued,
indicates that Mayor Haussling's six
years in office has been marked by
administrative progress and munich
pal Improvement unparalleled in any
like period in the city's history. It
demonstrates, it is contended, that
the mayors attitude al an official
has been characterized by liberty of
sentiment, breadth of view, love for
and pride in the city, confidence in
the citizens, and a spirit of justice to
all, without reference to political
bias. social position or other distinc-
lions.

Adding the total of the mandatory
increases to the total of the other in
creases we get the gross increase in
the tax ordinance over last ye@Cw-

are responsible for the increased tax
rate. For instance, last year the city
tax rate on public schools was 21.15,

other than mandatory are under the
control of the Common Council. In
behalf of the administration it is set
forth that these increases were more

ables.
In the list of mandatory increases
the item of assessment deficiency
means the city's share of the expense
for street improvements. The item
Of sinking fund and interest charges
refers to permanent city debt other
than water debt. Surplus and de-
fciency' virtually amounts to dis
counts given by the city on taxes
paid during the discount period,

The increase in police department
expenditures, according to the city's
financial authorities, is due chiefly tc
raises in salaries, as provided foI
by law. and to such expenses as the

ton house.
THE fire department increases are
due largely to the purchase of a new
auto apparatus. for frehouses now
building and to increase in salaries
as graded by law.
THE rest of the items on the list
call for normal increases, the addi-
tional amount called for by the Board
of Works going chiefly into street
cleaning and street repairs.
THE technical school has opened a
new department and receives a 1000
increase over its last years appro-
priation of $15, 900.
Under the law the City Plan Com
