Begins With Regrets.
Il regret says Mr.. Kinkead,
that some of my friends are
still inclined toward the Smith
Nugent machine. l am very hopeful.
however that soon every Democrat
in Hudson County will recognize the
force of what l said at the Demo-
cratic County Committee meeting
which Endorsed me for State commit
teeman namely, that the corrupt
4. Essex machine must not dominate
ldson. For the future let us have
flair and square understanding re-
Lea grding this matter.
+ f'Those who are not with us are
- gainst us. We will fight for our
N riends and we will fight our enemies
A Just as hard as we know how. The
4 doors are wide open. We want every
Democrat to support Governor Fielder
~ in his endeavor to uphold the prin-
clples of Woodrow Wilson. The
Smith Stokes ticket will receive the
votes of a few misguided Democrats
who place a foolish sentimentality
above an honest conviction. | believe
that Governor Fielder stated the exact
truth when he said that Senator
Smith and those few that he can
control would support Mr. Stokes, and
this is best evidenced from the lead
ing editorial which appears in his
Newark Star in the issue of October
]. The Senator is no more Demo-
crat than Mr.. Stokes is a Democrat.
But Mr. Stokes has the courage to
breach his Republicanism openly.
MIR. Smith voted with the Republi-
cans year after year when he as
sumed to represent the Democracy
of New JERSEY in the United States
Senate. Mr.. Smith elected Franklin
Murphy Governor of New Jersey, and
Governor Murphy was fair enough to
! saw that he owed more to Senator
Smith than he did to any other man
In New Jersey.
''Former Senator Smith supported
Roosevelt against Woodrow Wilson.
The Senator has capitalized his DEM
ocracy. The Senator has capitalized
the credulity of honest men.
1T is at least evident that the cor
ri1pt machine which could not control
me now means to destroy me, and |
: pledge them my word that this will
lie real fight and it will go to the
finish and my friends may write this
down now: That they'll quit before
do"
Kinkead's Change of Mind.
I The above is somewhat in the
nature of a call for help. Strange, in
the face of Kinkead's pretensions of
power, influence and political
Strength. that he should need help.
That's the style of comment heard to-
tlay on the streets and in places
where men gather and discuss such
matters. Men marvel that Kinkead
cannot work miracles all by himself
He is mad clean through because he
wasn't made State chairman, and,
although representatives of sixteen
counties voted against him, he shoots
at Essex only. Why? it is being
asked. Is it in compliance with fur
ther sealed orders, promise of federal
patronage and assurances that he
will be crowned king of office dis
pensers? Let the people pause and
reflect Singular, say some, that Kin
bead doesn't consider the Smith
Nugent support of such great conse-
quence now He thought it was just
the thing when he was running for
Congress and the Essex sections
of the Eighth district where
the Smith Nugent element is admit
teddy strong, rolled up such big vote
for him. More singular yet, it is
pointed out that it is only now that
he finds fault with the Essex organi-
zation, when for years he had been
considered a warm friend of former
United States Senator James Smith,
jr.. and a cordial admirer, or sup
posed to have been, of Jim" Nugent.
: He always called him Jim" Per-
haps. though, Kinkead, was merely
playing a part in the past, as he may
be playing a part now. He has gone
or is going to Forest Park. in New
York, S Businesses, to cool his fevered
mind and body.
WIndstorms Don't Appnll.
Kinkead is coming to Newark to hire
a hall. a suite of offices, and just
to "show them" meaning the Essex
Democratic organization. He does
his talking and writing in Jersey
City nevertheless. Well. New
ark is a hospitable community and
viii treat all visitors nicely so long
as they behave themselves. There are
no Indications up to the hour of going
TO press, however, that City Counsel
James r. Nugent and his friends are
booking about for a Cyclone cellar
in which to hide from the Kinkead
storm. In fact there are no signs
.of fear and trembling or quaking of
limbs in Essex, as it takes more than
"a gale of wind to terrify the natives.
AS warrior bold, kinkead is not so
much to be dreaded. even if he does
cry like a spoiled child when things
don't go his way. That's a means
he has Of venting his rage; sheds
tears of anger, doffs his coat and in
ldiilges in fight talk. His closest !
Friends are responsible for this |
diagnosis of his mannerisms. Now |
