A MTsDIRECTED ANIMOsTTY.

The animosty against Mr.. Hill, the Progressive
candidate for Mayor, by the reactionary Republicans
and their allies the knockers arises from the desire
to keep the Progressives from having a candidate,
the presumption being that all Progressive voters
former Republicans and if shut from voting for
Progressive candidate will be compelled to support
Mr. Raymond This may be a great mscalculation.
The sincere Progressive voter has not changed
his principles in any respect He is still opposed to
reaction and Republican reaconaries He is through
with standpatism In an election in which he should
be deprived of the right to vote for candidate of his
party he would not be at loss what to do He
would give his vote to progressive Democratic can
didate like Mayor Haussling.
And what could he think of the candidacy of
man who began his campaign with deals with set
of oce-seekers not of his party organization for
distribution among them of the rewards of Office
consideration for their support? What, indeed
the Republican regular voters think of this bargain
ing which would divide the patronage OF the next
mayoraty administration with few outsiders?
What shall anybody think of agreement that vio-
ates the spirit of the corrupt practices act, which
forbids any kind of inducements to votes?
The Progressive candidate for Mayor will
doubt stick. His right to be candidate is not
questioned by his knocker critics, who simply mpugn
his motives. But they not shorsighted in trying
to force him to abandon his candidacy in order to
leave the Progressive voter without canddate? For
reactionary lawyer representing all the standpat
and reactionary influences and interests in Newark
command the Progressive vote and, obviously,
every such vote given to our publicsprited and
terprising Mayor is vote to increase his majority
and vote to defeat attempt elect reactionary
Mayor II would be just well for Mr.. Raymond
that the Progressive should go Progressive
candidate
