Several weeks ago | announced my
candidacy for the governorship. Since
that time, and especially during the
last two or three weeks. ] have re-
ceived so many assurances of support
from different sections of the State
that 7 believe that ] have more than
an even chance to gain the nominal
ton. Within the next few days |
shall give out statement expressing
my personal views on current public
questions and problems. The present
election laws of the State provide
that the party platform shall be for
nlulated and adopted at a party con-
vention after the primaries. In the
meantime | think the voters of New
Jersey are entitled to know upon
what grounds | base my candidacy.
AT this time | feel at liberty to
say that shall promise If elected
governor to render the sovereign
State of New Jersey earnest and
faithful service as its chief executive;
to give all my time to careful man
agement of the States business, and
not TO make the Office an excuse and
a stepping stone to further the ends
of political ambition.
soon Make Appeal.
THE people of New Jersey need a
governor. ! think, who will not neg
lect their every day affairs, their
taxes, their roads, their home rule
problems, their corporation and cleo
ton laws their public schools, their
National Guard, their prisons and
asylums in an effort to further and
extend his political career. 1t will be
ON some such basis as this that I
nhall make my appeal for the nomi-
nation"
After being on the hike the greater
part of the day, the troops lined up
for the grand review by the Governor
and General Mills at 4:30. The large
parade ground was lined with people
as the Governor, riding alongside OF

of his and the colonel's staffs, rode
