day the newly elected state committees
were organized. AS election day this
year will fall on Nov. 4. 1t will be seen
that only months time Is left for ac-
tive campaigning Indeed. when the
work of opening headquarters and
making other plans for the campaign
has been done the time at the disposal
Of the candidates and the campaign
managers amounts to about three
weeks.
Former Governor Stokes announced
that he would formally open his speak
ing campaign at Newark on Friday
evening, Oct. 10. Arrangements were
made by the Essex county Republican
committee leaders to give the candi-
date big ovation at Krueger's audi
torium. From the time of this meet
ing up TO the night before election Mr..
Stokes will keep actively at the work.
with hardly moment to spare for
other matters. There are twenty-one
counties In the state to be covered
and If the candidate covers them all
he will be ready for good nights
sleep when he gets through.
Newton A. K Bugbee, the new chair
man Of the Republican state commit
tee, will be at the Newark headquar-
tiers three days week during the
campaign In his absence he will be
represented by Captain Harry Krae-
mer Of Camden. his personal secretary
Captain Kraemer served on the mill
tary staff Of former Governor Stokes
during the latter's administration as
governor.
The general work of the campaign at
the headquarters will be In charge
Of Edward W Gray. who resigned as
secretary Of the committee in August.
Mr.. Gray will give particular attention
to publicity. The speakers bureau will
be In charge of Leonard E. Travis,
who has done that work for the com
mittee in several campaigns. John l.
Blair Reilly. the new secretary, will
be unofficially assisted by ]. B. K.
Smith, former assistant secretary of
state.
Chairman Bugbee has announced the
appointment of Benedict Prieth. pro-
prfetor of the Freie zeitung, as treas
urer Of the committee Mr.. Prieth sue
ceeds John D. Everitt Of Orange In
conjunction with the chairman he will
soon issue an appeal for popular sup
port in defraying the expenses of the
campaign. The Stokes managers feel
that as the former governor is the
peoples candidate the people will be
glad to lend material aid In bringing
about his election.
The speakers committee is now In
communication with some Of the lead
ing men in the country, who have
promised to speak In New Jersey In
the present campaign In order to ascer-
tain from them on what dates they
may be assigned to speak.
Mr.. Stokes a few days ago received
q very cordial letter from former State
Senator Joseph s. Frelinghuysen of
Somerset, who. rumor has had it, has
been opposed to the former governors
candidacy. Senator Frelinghuysen says
In his letter that, while he will be
obliged to be out of the state for a
considerable part of the campaign, he
Will do everything he can to further
the former governors election.
Chairman Bugbee. although inexpe-
nenced In the work of political man
agement, has taken hold of his new
duties with the readiness of an old
time campaigner He has located
desks In the state headquarters for a
special manager of the campaign in
Hudson county and another special
manager for Essex county. These are
working in conjunction with the chair
man Of the state committee and the
county chalrmen of the two counties
Mr.. Bugbee IS also assisted In the work
by large advisory committee, made
up of members from every county In
the state
Chairman Bugbee has expressed him
self as becoming more confident every
day that Mr.. Stokes will be elected.
He Is satisfied. he says. that more than
three-fourths of the votes that We're
cast for Roosevelt last year will this
year be cast for the Republican candi-
date. These voters. he says. were nat
uraliy Republicans and had voted the
third party ticket last year only as a
protest against what they believed to
be Republican party mismanagement
They had faith in the destiny Of the
Republican party and would come back
to its fold this fall
1T may be also. he said. that we
viii get quite nussper Of Democratic
votes. There is NO reason why we
should not. In national elections in
this country large numbers of Demo
Gratis have voted for Republican can
didates In times when the country was
suffering from business depression and
prosperity was languishing. This state
OF affairs exists throughout the country
today, especially in New Jersey, whose
manufacturers are dreading the effects
OF the new Democratic tariff for rev
enue only
Moreover, all Democrats who find
themselves read out of their party can
In good conscience and Judgment vote
for our candidate. and they are invit-
ed to do so.
The newspaper talk that there is a
deal on between former Governor
Stokes and certain faction Of the
Democrats Is absolute tommyrot and
Is born OF the panic that has seized
the Fielder campaign managers as
they see their candidates chances for
success daily becoming smaller For
