About 1000 voters FRI om the Fifth,
Tenth and Twelfth we rds, which COM

than n hour and then assembled at
the He nsler Aut1itori um. The speak

president of the Bos nd of Works, a
candidate for re elec ton; John j.
Bfacken. candidate for sheriff; Harry
d Backus. candidate for surrogate,
and many of he a ssembly candi-

The mayor, no had been cam
paigning all evening, made only a
short Address. He Stated that the
democratic party has accomplished
many big things and that the i'm
movement ,pf the Ironbound district
is one of tham.
"Our city Is clean. Our police and
fire protection the very best, our
schools second to n one, our hospitals
the best money can equip said the
mayor "The Event ng News will not
tell you of these til ings, but records
do not lie he added
~ stand on my merit Our work
Ii well under way. This is no time to
change administrations, and / urge
YOU all to stand by the party of the
people, the mayor said in conelud-
ing.
DR.. Kraemer. who fostered the
meadow reclamation work. told of
tho big reduction of taxes which, he
said. would result when the meadows
are occupied by hundreds Of fac
tories. He spoke, in part, as follows:
Mayor Haussling's administration
has been great one. True it is that
Tie tax rate at the present time is Il
little high. 1t is high because we
have done things which will take
time before we receive any direct
revenue The meadow reclamation
work alone, in two years, / predict,
will decrease the tax rate by at least
10 per cent.
ave have added to our schools sws-
TENS Would any one of you want to
hinder the children from receiving
the best, just for the sake of a few
points in the tax rate? This rate is
only for the time being and will not
last.
nThe Scudder organ tells you of our
extravaganza, but they fail to show
you any indication of it. They do not
tell you that nearly seventy-tive per
cent of the money expended goes to
the county or the State by legisla-
tion.
Mine millions of dollars will be
spent in the big Passaic valley sewer.
We will not get any direct revenue
back from it, but we will get a more
healthy condition in the city, a place
for the children to battle in and, with
the cleansing of the Passaic, land
values in Newark will increase.
Fourteen miles of streets have
been paved during the past year. This
costs money, but the Scudder organ
fails to tell you what we have done
with your money"
In terse sentences, everyone of
which went home, Mr.. Nugent an
nounced that he had not intended to
speak, because che was through with
this campaign" For a moment The
audience appeared staggered by this
announcefent. The next remarks re-
leved the tension and called forth
q veritable storm OF applause
MY part of the campaign started
two or three weeks ago, between the
Newark Evening News and myself.
In that fight. l think l got the best
of it. The News has quit, as you
may CLEAN from the philosophical
trend of its editorials
administration had done the editor
Of the News did not agree with me.
His paper threw a little mud at nae,
which mud-slinging operation it had
INDUCED in for many yearse but it
didn't stick"
Mr.. Nugent then told how some
years ago other cities in the Union,
like Detroit, Baltimore and Boston,
began to be talked about, and how
today the city that forms the topic
of discussion in civic meetings the
nation over is Newark, Newark, the
counsel said. has the best of every
thing, including its citizens.
"That 1t has the best of every
thing Mr.. Nugent went on, twas
made possible through the Demo-
cratic party keeping its pledges
I'VE have pledged" he said. Ito
come before you every two years and
render an account of our steward
ship We have done so, and You
have been good enough to send us
back to power every time. News
papers can throw mud in general, but
I defy them to do IL specifically"
The speaker paid a compliment to
the staunch loyalty of the Ironbound
District to the Democratic party. He
said that the East End was made up
of Woodworking men, who believed
in religious and personal liberty and
decency, men who worked six days of
fhe week and who were entitled to
day of rest and wholesome recreation
on the seventh day.
I'VE had dose of hypocritical law
