The value OF organization, a peace
f,ll and quiet administration and
above all .. protective tariff were
heralded by Mr. Raymond, Congress

credit of the party.
That a man has 50 per cent. or MS
makeup in common with the rest OF
humanity was argued by Mr.. Gray.
He cautioned against a man allowing
himself to be governed solely by the
other per cent. He said that the
Republican party was the great party |
lust because it was based on common |
humanity Hybrid combinations, the
speaker went on, may have their mis-
sion at times but they cannot last.
After all when a common enemy !
invades our shores said Mr.. Gray, |
30 per cent from all party shades will
pick up a musket and defend our
shores. The remaining 10 per cent. |
Withhold a protest meeting and draw |
I'D q resolution expressing indignation |
at the invasion"
Mr.. Dalrymple started a laugh !
when he, among other things, dis
eussed the Camden System he
explained that the system consisted !
Of a man running independent IN the
primaries, letting the organization
rake care of his campaign.
Mr.. Raymond pleaded guilty 10
baving run on that system. "But |
ever since Dalrymple and have
been running together" he added
The Mayor-elect stated
that he had come solely to enjoy him
self and had done so up TO the time

The right slogan to carry the guber-
Material and presidential election IN
,s16. The speaker thanked the com
,nittee for having rolled up for him a
handsome majority and also acknowl-
edged that ne had received the
pairest. most loyal support from the
county organization.
Mr.. Hamburg spoke of the interest
taken in the election by business
men and of the credit the women
deserved for the active part they had
played during the election. Mr.. Ham
burg then spoke of what he con-
sidered the failure Of the present
National administration and its var
ious measures that had wrought
havoc with the business of the
country.
"For more than twelve months"
said Mr.. Hamburg, we. among other
Industrial centres have been trying
70 adjust ourselves to new conditions.
At the cost Of what? OF dollars and
eents and of try ing to give men work.
The income tax has proved failure
and to that has been added a war tax
that had better he called a Demo-
cratic tax. 1 hope that Newark in
1916 will be one of many communities
to say to the world, Under protection /
America prospers.
air. Jenlsinson warned his audience !
not to expect too much from the new |
Mayor and above ali TO be satisfied |
IL the present obligations of the city |
together with the current expenses !
would not necessitate an even higher
TAX rate for the first year OF his adj !
Mr. Kuebler took issue /
with Mr.. Jenkinson and insisted that /
ways could be found to decrease the }
tax rate as the only means to appeal
to the people at the next election.
