Great Ovation for
Candidate--J --Jud ge
Carey PIeases
GREAT MEETING

publican candidate for governor and
the welcome they gave him was sin
cere and enthusiastic. The former
governor arrived at the haf! at 9:45
o'clock while Judge Robert e. Carey.
OF Jersey City, was speaking. AS Mr..
Stokes came into the place Judge
Carey shouted with all his might,
Gentlemen, your next governor is
standing at the door, With that
everyone arose and cheered while
the candidate, followed by Republic
can State Committeeman Alfred S.
March, of New Brunswick, passed
down the center aisle and stepped
upon the stage. The cheering lasted
fully five minutes and the smile on
the candidates face showed that he
was both pleased and satisfied with
the reception.
Judge Carey was ready to conclude
when Mr.. Stokes arrived but at the
latter's request continued to give the
candidate time to rest from the
hardships of the journey from New
Brunswick. Mr.. Carey made great
impression on the audience with his
sincere and unaffected style of speak
ing. He caused an outbreak of en-
thusiasm when he said, 81 would like
to talk about my friend, Ferd Gar
retson. I thought he was running
for mayor again this year, but he
tells me he does not run until next
year" Mayor Garretson, who was
seated on the platform, held up his
hand In protest but the crowd got
the point and let loose the noise.
Another demonstration was caused
when Mr.. Carey predicted that Perth
Amboy would have commission gov
ernment next year. Then you will
always have men like Ferd Garretson
and Harry Wilson conducting the
city's AFFAIRS" he added. We had
to have 1t in Jersey City and | can
see that you need it and will soon
have 1t here" National issues were
touched upon by the speaker and he
spoke about President Wilson but in
a kindly way. He said that Wilson
was great man and was doing q
great mans work. "He has Job
big enough for one man to handle.
He's got Mexico on his hands, the
currency change, the tariff matter,
and he's even got Bill Bryan or his
hands" The remark caused a hearty
laugh. Mr.. Carey was showing how
busy Wilson was and how he had
plenty to do at the capitol without
mixing into the fight In Jersey. Mr..
Stokes was eulogized by the speaker
and the qualities of the three guber-
material candidates pointed out.
Rare bits of humor cropped up in
Judge Carey's talk and at no time
did he resort to cut and dried politi-
ant tr IL .fryt,, ,,nl
throughout. Judge Carey was one Of
the candidates for the Republican
nomination for governor at the pri-,
maries and he brought down the
house when he said, Someone down
here voted for me, too, and want to
thank him."
Harry r. Wilson, Republican can
didate for alderman-at-large, preced-
ed Mr.. Carey and he gave some in
teresting data on the city govern
ment. He said that he was in favor
of publicity In all city affairs and
that a statement should be published
each month setting, forth in detail
how the city money was spent. He
declared the books of the city shonld
be audited and that he understood
over three million dollars had passed
through the treasurer's hands since
the last time the books were audited.
He did not attempt to cast any re-
flections but said it was not good
business policy. He spoke in favor
of q purchasing board for the city
whose duties would be to purchase
all the city's supplies, etc. He said
he believed s25,000 a year could be
saved this way. The garbage remov-
al question was also brought up. Mr..
Wilson said he believed the street
department could do the work with
a little sprucing up and that the
$4,000 a month which it now costs
to remove garbage could be reduced
considerably. A number of other
date, who got great round of ap-
plause as he resumed his seat.
1t was about S:45 o'clock when
the meeting was called to order by
Chairman Albert Leon, who after
welcoming the voters and speaking
briefly about the various candidates
OF the ticket, introduced former
Assemblyman Walter Van Syckle, of
New Brunswick. He spoke purely
on state Issues and the record of Mr..
Stokes Having been in the legisla-
ture he said he was able to state
things exactly as they happened and
he called attention to the fact that
John F. Ten Broeck had served with
him. Mr.. Van Sycllle took up the
planks of the Republican platform
one by one and explained them. He
told how the people had sought Mr..
Stokes as their candidate this year
and how the big vote on primary day
showed the confidence the Repubil-
