WOOLSTON OPENS
CAMPAIGN WTHA
FLING At GREGORY
Hot Fight Expected Between
Republican Candidates for
MayoraIty in E. Orange.

John B. Woolston. Republican
nominee for mayor of East Orange,
whose nomination is conceded on that
| ticket, today formally announced his
platform. A gentle dig at Mayor
Julian A. Gregory for failure to settle
the grade crossing elimination Is in
eluded. Mr. Woolston assures the
public he has no railroad or sewage
disposal company affiliations to ham,
per him in representing the city in its
problems.
Judge Worrall F. Mountain, who
will be Mr.. Woolston's opponent in
the Republican primaries, filed his
petition today. Judge Mountain is
going away today for a vacation. and
will not return until after Labor Day.
1t was said at his office that Council
man Theodore McCurdy Marsh,
former Councilman Edward S. Pier
son and former City Counsel Phile-
mon Woodruff would be associated
with him in the campaign.
Mr.. Woolston will also have a
strong force of campaigners, and a
hot fight is expected at the primaries.
Mr.. Woolston's statement which
was issued today, is in part as fol-
lows:
II shall stand upon the record of
my service and achievements in the
public offices which I have held.
The platform is
81. A business-like administra ton
of city affairs by business man.
% Such an administration of city
affairs as will curtail needless expen-
diture of public moneys and show q
commensurate return for every dol
lar actually expended
I am mt diTa0f1V OF iOdiFRofl.,
under any obligation to or in any
way connected with any railroad
company or sewage disposal company
or any other corporation seeking to
do business with East Orange, and
If elected, my sole purpose will be to
administer the affairs of the city in
a business-like and efficient manner:
and in the solution of the problems
which may present themselves it
would be my purpose only to con-
slider what is for the permanent and
best interests of the city.
"a. Four years ago a mayor was
elected who promised an immediate
elimination of grade crossings.
1.-TWO years ago he was returned to
office on his plea that he should be
given an opportunity to complete the
work. Today the question Is as vital
as it was four years ago and moth
ing has been accomplished.
Personally, | favor depression, and
/ believe we should have depression II
this can be reasonably obtained, hav-
ing regard for the best interests of
the citizens and taxpayers of East
Orange, but grade crossings must be
emilinated.
IS. The disposal of sewage, in view
of the construction of the Passaic Val
ley trunk sewer and the passage of
laws prohibiting the discharge of
sewage into the Passaic river after a
certain date is a most serious and i'm
portant question to the City of East
Orange and one which must speedily
be settled.
IS. 1t is my intention that requests
for appropriations for fire protection,
safety devices, police protection,
school accommodations, road inn
proyements, elimination of surface
water and brook pollution shall be
met in a spirit of appreciation of the
demands of the citizens"

East Orange should not be lawyer,
Thomas B. Creole, president of the
Lackawanna Commuters League. in
letter sent out as an answer to one
circulated in the interests of Judge
Worrall F. Mountain, Endorses the
candidacy of former County Clerk
John B. Woolston. "a lukewarm
candidate on an ice water platform"
was the term applied to Judge
Mountain in regard Ito his candidacy
by Mr.. Creole.
Besides speaking of Mr.. Mountains
hesitating attitude and undecided
stand, he gives it as his opinion that
with weighty questions confronting
East Orange, the next mayor should
not be a lawyer. He says on this
point; 1.-THE next mayor of East Or
ange should not be a lawyer, who
would spend one-third of his time
looking after the interests of the city
and the other two-thirds seeking to
build up his private practice" Mr.
Creole also states that he cannot see
his way clear to either vote for
Judge Mountain or try to induce
others to do so.
