LOCAL OPTION BULLETIN!

The Salem County Local Option Leagues still
on the job of trying to secure for the people of our
county and State, through legislative action, the
referendum privilege on the question of licensing
the liquor traffic.
Be it remembered that in this State we voters
are taxed to pay tor the support of criminals, pau
pers,insane and other victims of the licensed liquor
traffic and are compelled to see many of our young
men ruined by it every year without having a
chance to vote our judgment and conscience with
regard to it.
We only ask through a local option law for
justice, for the rights of the majority to control in
reference to a business which is manifestly peril
Gus to the community and which, under any police
surveillance or legal restriction makes drunkards,
pauperS or criminals of many men.
We are working and pleading for a govern
ment of, for and by the people in reference to this
liquor business which affects the Well-being of the
whole people.
We are glad to announce that the candidates
for both parties, Isaac S. Smick and DR.. NJ S. Hires,
have given their written pledge to our League, bind
ing themselves, if elected, to introduce our local
option bill to the legislature if requested and to
vote tor the enactment OF the same.
We call for a large vote for these candidates.
We are glad that Salem county, as represented by
her present members of the State legislature stands
tor the enactment OF a fair local option law.
We must maintain this position until the law
is secured.
We must call upon all voters in Salem county
to help this righteous cause.
- This advertisement is paid for BY the Salem Countu
Local Option League.

AN OPEN LETTER

My DEAR FELLOW CITIZENS:

OCtODST 20, lS1Z
My DEAR FELLOW CITIZENS:
If D. Stewart Craven, the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in this district, could meet personally every voter in our
county, irrespective OF party, he would overwhelmingly be
elected.
Wherever he goes he makes votes for himself and the
Democratic ticket, from Woodrow Wilson down. The soul of
candor, justice and good sense, he impresses you at once as a
man to be trusted and supported. Every dollar he possesses
he has earned by his own efforts. He works for his living and
to make a better living possible for the men he EMPLOYS and
for his community and state. A successful farmer and manu-
facturer, the father of an ideal family, settled comfortlv in one
of the garden spots in this state, he is to be congratulated and
and we are to be congratulated on his willingness, at FORTY
years OF age, to lay aside his home cares and go to Washing
ton, If the people of his district want him there, to help frame
the legislation which is the purpose of Governor Wilson to see
put into effect IN this country. Men of his sober energy and
courage should be encouraged, as never before, to enter NH
lie life.
| consider it a public duty to take it personally upon nv
self to solicit your support of this sterling representative of our
best citizenship and 1 do so believing that our faith and our
political aims could not at this time be entrusted to better
hands.
All citizens who realize that grave economic evils beset us,
and who believe in dealing sanely, justly and effectively with
the avowed supporters of the Democratic platform. It is by
this time a pratical certainty that Governor Wilson will be our
next President. This being the case, it is part of fairness,
likely to work in perfect harmony with him in the halls of
Congress.
Very sincerely yours,
JOHN w. WESCoTT.

form Of 1908 as well as the Democratic
platform of 1908 declared for q reVi-
sion Of the tariff. 1t seems to me that
the only question before the American
people now is, Who will give them
the downward revision for which they
made a new demand in 1910, when a
Democratic congress was oYerwhelm-
ingly elected? 1t is clear that the
only man In the race who will stand
for an intelligent revision downward
Is Woodrow Wilson and the only par
ty which will give it is the Democratic
party.
Now, if Mr.. Wanamaker is correct
in his assertion that prosperity de-
ponds wholly upon Republican rule
and the maintenance Of a high tariff
policy, how does he explain the in
controvertible fact that with every
body demanding tariff revision down
ward the whole business of the coun-
try today is, in anticipation Of this
very revision and the certainty of
Democratic success, in better condi-
ton, more stimulated and more az
gressive than it has been in many
years? Does he not know that our
shrewd b~erchants, business men and
bankers almost infallibly sense i'm
provement in business conditions or,
as they say in the vernacular, dis
count it," Democratic success is on
all sides conceded.
Is Not to Destroy.
Finally, it bears strongly on Mr..
Wanamaker's statement to note that
the Democratic campaign is largely in
the hands Of business men. l can
not claim the distinction Of being a
merchant, yet l hope I can qualify as
a business man. Certainly l should
hesitate to advocate the adoption If
any policy or to ask my friends to
follow the leadership Of any man or
party likely in any way to bring harm
to the people of this country. 1t would
be Easy to add the names Of distin-
guished manufacturers all over the
land who are In active cooperation
with the Democratic national commit
tee in this campaign. These men, hav-
ing great business interests at stake,
are not likely to be deceived into pro-
noting their own destruction. They
feel, as do many others Of u leading
manufacturers, that the Democratic
party in promising a gradual revision
of the tariff is helping and not hinder
ing our industries. Governor Wilson
has frankly said:
81 am not interested In disturbing
the great course of business in this
country, but I am interested in en-
riching It." w. G. M'ADOO.

REPUBLICAN HOPE
RESTS IN WILSON.
Gov Burke Declares For Dem
oCrat and Gives His Reasons.
BY JOHN BURKE,
Governor of North Dakota,


The election of Governor Wilson is
the only thing that can save the Re-
publican party. -Four years of Presi-
dent Taft has split it in two. We
have no reason to believe that he will
be any different or that his second adj
m~inistration, If he is reelected, will
be any more satisfactory to the people
than his first. His reelection will
mean the division of the Republican
party into many warning factions,
which can only result in final dissolu-
ton of all.
The end will come quicker and just
as certain if Roosevelt is elected, for
he is no longer a Republican, but is
the leader of a new party, at war with
the Republican party. as it is with the
Democratic party. On the other hand,
IL Wilson is elected the Roosevelt par
ty will perish; the Republicans will
reorganize their party, purge it of the
baneful influence of corporate power
and greed and make it again the grand
old party it was in the days Of Lin
coin.

five pounds had been collected from the

These beautiful birds nave been already

they are protected by the government and

fact the young birds IN the nest are not

of the kind-hearted lady who does not
