DEMOCRATS FEEL
SURE OF VICTORY
IN WEST ORANGE
Party Needs to Elect Only One
Councilman to Retain
Control.

Save for the discussion of the
usual last-minute ''roorbacks,' which
both sides in town claim to fear, the
campaign in West Orange has closed
and both sides are resting for tomor-
rows conflict. Bitterness has creps in
the contest and added zest has been
furnished by the charges of alleged
bribery, slander and personal attack,
which have featured the efforts of the
elements opposed to the Democratic
administration to break through. The
famous statement of the towns most
noted citizen, Thomas A. Ellison, made
to an Evening Star reporter some
time ago, namely, that politics gener
ally means five hundred men holding
jobs and five hundred others wanting
the same jobs" has, in the judgment
of the Democrats, a timely meaning,
and they have pointed out the mess
of things made some years ago, when
the voters turned town affairs over to
the Republicans.
The fusion folk, on the other hand,
have insisted that the town needs
change and in the month of meetings
and speeches both groups nave eA-
hausted their supplies of English in
assaults upon the enemy.

FALLACY OF C. O.P.
ARGUMENT SHOWN
Progressive Congressional Can
didate Makes Open-Air Ad-
dress in Bloomfield.

The fallacy of the high tariff prin-
ciple of the Republican party was
pointed out by A. B. Archibold, Pro-
gressive candidate for Congress in
the Eighth district, at meetings in
Bloomfield Saturday night. The pres
ent European war should act the
same as high tariff wall, and should
give the prosperity that the Repub-
licans have shouted about, he said,
but it is not doing it. His speech, in
part, was as follows:
''One of the curious incidents of this
campaign is the spiking of the main
gun of the Republican machine, upon
which it expected to rely in this fight,
to wit: The invasion of our markets
by the cheap foreign goods made pos
sible by the Democratic tariff. For
more than a year there has been a
great deal of business depression.
The Republicans expected to charge
this to the Democratic tariff, and to
sweep into power on the votes of those
who are out of work, by charging
that their lack of employment was
due to the reduction of the tariff, and
the consequent increase of imports.
But in the middle of the summer
the war broke out and incidentally
the war acted TO shut out foreign
ROOuS very D1uCil ACAiARtOtO'J
than could any tariff possibly do. No
matter how high the tariff has been
placed by the Republicans, there has
always been a tremendous amount OF
imports. But the minute the war
broke out it operated to prevent all
imports from Germany, and to a
lesser extent, from France and Rus
sia. International trade, so far as
imports are concerned, at once
stopped, which is exactly what the
ultra high protection leader says is a
good thing for the country. They
have been teaching for generation
that if all foreign goods could be
kept out of the country we would ali
be prosperous.
"The war has put into practical ap-
plication what they hoped to accom-
plish by the high tariff. The result
has been widespread disaster to the
country. Mills have been closed, men
have been thrown out of work and
the business depression, which was
on the mend, has been increased. This
has spiked the Republican cry for
high protection. They are unable to
account for the fact that prosperity
does not at once follow the cessation
of imports from abroad.
"This experience proves that the
industrial evils of our time are not
prevented by high protection and that
relief must be sought upon other lines
The Progressive party has undertaken
to meet this fact by presenting many
measures designed directly to curb
the power of the trusts and to mini
mize the evils of our industrial sys-
tenn. They at least are trying to solve
the problem. The Republicans have
no plan except their ancient doctrine
of high protection, which the facts
brought out by the war have exploded.
The defeat of the Republican party
so long as it is led by the present
machine leaders is therefore assured"
