CANDIDATE HILL
MAKES PUBLIC
HIS PLATFORM
Explains Views on Issue and
His Course if Elected May
or of Newark.
A PROGRESSIVE OF
THE ROOSEVELT TYPE
Not Deferred from Principles
Because a Few Others Are
Apostates to the Faith.

Frank A. Hill. Progressive candi-
date for the office of mayor of New
ark, today announced the platform of
principles on which he will conduct
his campaign, defining his views on
public questions and explaining how
: he would discharge the duties OF the
mayoralty in the event of his cleo
tion. Mr.. Hill says:
in entering my name as Pro-
eressive candidate for the highest
office within the gift of the people of
Newark-the mayoralty-I did so at
the earnest solicitation of a large
number of the Progressives of this
city.
Il have been allied with the Pro-
gressive party since ats inception.
The Progressive party was born in
Essex county in the days of the New
Idea, and the Progressive party in
this city must not be allowed to perish
because a few men who were looked
upon as leaders in our party have be-
come apostates to their faith and have
either gone back to the old reaction
airy Republican party or to the
equally as reactionary Democratic
party.
A Follower of Roosevelt.
Together with the fellow members
of my party, / have followed our gall
liant leader Theodore Roosevelt, in
his remarkable campaign through the
West. and also have watched with
pleasure the aggressive fight he Is
waging in Pennsylvania in the in
terest of the Progressive candidate
for the United States Senate, Clifford
Pinchot.
"The primal need of the people of
this city Is a. larger measure of hon.
esty in politics. To this more than
to any other principle the Progress
sive party is committed.
THE people are waiting deliver
ance from the tangle of political cor
ruption and confusion into which the
activities of the two old parties have
led it, and deliVerance can only come
from the Progressive party, young,
vigorous and clear visioned, unbur-
dened with history or precedent and
devoted hole-heartedly to the peo-
pies cause.
"I will make my campaign along
gressives of this city will stand hand
in hand and shoulder to shoulder
and rally to support.
For Equal Rights and Justice.
Equal rights and complete justice
for all men in all stations of life.
"The protection of the wamily by
the single standard of purity and
morality. ss.s.s
"The fullest possible development
of every child, especially by the pro-
vision of proper education and recre-
alton. -
"The abolition of child labor and
regulation of the conditions of toll
for women as shall safeguard the
physical and moral health of the
community.
"The abatement and prevention of
poverty.
THE conservation of health.
THE protection of the worker
from dangerous machinery, occupa-
tional diseases and mortality.
THE right of all men to the op-
porfunity of self maintenance, for
safeguarding this right against en-
croachment of every kind, and for
the protection of workers from the
hardship of enforced unemployment.
"The right of employees and employ
ers alike to organize for adequate
means of Cancellation, and arbitration
in industrial disputes.
"A release from employment one
day in seven.
For highest wage AnOrdable.
"a living wage as minimum in
every industry and for the highest
wage that each industry can afford.
"a new emphasis on the application
of humanitarian principles to the ac-
quisition and use of property and for
the most equitable division of the
product of industry that can ulti-
mately be devised.
These are the principles of every
true Progressive and must make for
an economical business administra-
ton for the taxpayers Of the city Of
Newark.
IT expect to conduct a vigorous
campaign throughout the city, and
I believe that there are thousands of
men who will vote for me on cleo
tion day. l am confident of the sup
port of every true Progressive, OF
every follower of our illustrious
leader-Theodore Roosevelt-who has
again thrown his hat into the ring
and is again hard at work through
out the land in the behalf OF party
that is destined to prove the most
important factor in political life in
the years that are before u.s."
