JUDGE CAREY ASKS
VOTES FOR STOKES
Public Letter Expresses Belief
Republican Candidate Is
Best Man for Office.

In n letter to the Voters of New
Jersey former Judge Robert Carey,
of Jersey City. formerly a Progress
sive. but who was a candidate at the
September primaries for the kepub-
lican nomination for governor, and
won out in Hudson county, says in
an appeal for support for Edward c.
Stokes:
you are to determine by your votes
on Tuesday whether or not the adj
ministration OF public affairs In this
State for the next three years shall
be controlled and managed byS the
| Democratic party or the Republican
party. There are three candidates for
governor in the field. They are all
representative and honorable citizens
OF the State Candidates for the gov
ernorship of New Jersey. elected in
open primary, couldn't very well be
| otherwise.
Experience IL vital.
"But we should not select a man
| for governor OF this great State
| simply because ne Is honest, ;it5iii-
gent and fair-minded. There are
! thousands of such men in the State.
|
! Just as vital for our consideration, If
| we are to make individual choice
Ard I feel that I can confidently and
without fear of contradiction say that
| no man in New Jersey has had larger
and broader experience in dealing
with the questions involved In our
| State government and Its administra-
ton than has Edward c. Stokes. His
entire life has been spent here. and
for twenty-three years past--the best
twenty years in the States history
he has been Identified with its legis-
ist ton and progress.
| HIS familiarity with the State in
st'tu'ions and the wants and require
| ments of the people OF New Jersey
make him the best posted man In the
state. Perhaps the other candidates
have never made mistakes-then,
aoain. perhars they have. | haven't
met the perfect man in the flesh yet
political OF otherwise. / have diff
| fered with every one of the candi-
dates in the years that have rolled
ny; but / intend to vote for Edward
C. Stokes because I believe he is well
fitted and equipned to take care OF
New Jerseys affairs now and because
J believe Republican control Of our
State Is necessary, particularly al
this time.
"It is urged we should support the
Democratic ticket because President
Wilson would be pleased
president Wilson is delightful and
a distinguished character and we al
| respect him and hold him in high re-
Igard as President of the United States
but he has passed away from New
| Jersey, which fact Is attested by the
Ire-entrance of Senator Smith and Mr.
Nugent. of Essex. into control of the
democratic organizations And Mr..
Wilson is a pretty busy man these
days. He has a new Democratic tariff
bin on his hands, he has the currency
problem and the collection of the in
come tax to worry over. and he has
| Mr. William Bryan on his hands. II
is President Wilson's turn to try and
| please us. We should vote az we
please and not to please him. Nc
| other real genuine reason for voting
the Democratic ticket has been sug-
| gested.
