ATTITUDE SET FORTH
ON NATIONAL ISSUES

Mayor Cornelius A. MeGlennon, of
East Newark Borough, Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Eighth
district, in a formal announcement of
his candidacy, states his position and
attitude SO clearly that criticisms of
those more or less opposed to him
can have no possible weight.
In formally announcing my candi-
dacy for Congress from the Eighth
New Jersey district, I wish to assure
the citizens and voters of the district
that I place myself squarely in ae-
cord with the policies and purposes Of
President Wilson's administration"
says Mr.. McGlehnon.
ut has been a record of wonderful
achievement, and vivid example to
all the world of the advantages of q
firm, even tempered and tenacious
policy of peace in the administration
of a nations affairs. The frightful
carnage of war now sweeping over
Europe emphasizes the esteem in
which the peace policy of President
Wilson's administration is held. He

versal clash of arms. If he had done
no other service for humanity, this
alone would make his administration
notable.

"He has carried out his domestic
policies in the same dignitied, eff
ficient and steady going manner The
pledge to revise the tariff downward
which the Republican party gave in
been rendered by the Democratic
party. Tile country has not yet had
time to readjust itself to the new
conditions; but that this reduction
will tend to eventually reduce the
cost of living there can be no pos
sible doubt. So many other causes
the world over are responsible for the
high cost of living that it is unfair for
our opponents to criticise the new
tariff bill and it's effects so early in
their operation.
For years we have been told that
the tariff was the mother of trusts.
President Wilson's tariff policy, in
keeping with his other policies, has
been to curb the power of the trusts
effectively, but not unreasonably In
doing this, he has already diminished
the evil of INSCRIPTIONS promotion

Pursuing this policy in other d.
rectionS, he has enacted the currency
bill, which releases the country from
the menace of such panics as that of
1907. Instead of the money market Of
the United States being regulated at
midnight conferences in the libraries
of Wall Street monarchs and mag
mates, the government at Washington
will hereafter look to the distri-
button of banking reserves without
favoritism, where the pressing needs
of sections and communities require
them. This law takes out of the
hands of Wall Street the power to
control the financial fabric of the
United States in times of panic. 1t
