FLAMMER OFFERS
POLITICAL VIEW
Assembly Candidate Declares
for Basic Endorsement from
Home Districts.

Assembly Candidate George A.
F'lammer, of Roseland. who is run
ming on the Republican ticket under
the designation, Regular Republi-
cam" but who is not among the pre-
ferred" candidates OF the Inner cir
cle' of the county committee as IL Is
termed by those on the outside, has
written to the Evening Star asking
that he may be heard In tho matter.
AS an aspirant to the nomination
, for Assembly for the people," says
/ Mr.. Flammer, II feel that ] should
say a few words through your valued
columns.
First of all, ] want to say that
am my own campaign manager,
| backed by no organization whatever,
Endorsed largely by the people from
my own district, who have ove,l a
better opportunity to know of my
qualifications for the position which
! seek to serve the people, many
| times better than an Endorsement
sprinkled here and there throughout
the country. The person being in
dorsed by parties he only knows
IflTpuBh IIllIOduCIiOtl anu iiOl Ing
least idea as to his capacity to serve
the people, consequently ] say and do
contend, that a person to seek the
high office of Assembly should first
be Endorsed by or in the district
which he lives in before he received
the Endorsement of any organization
of any kind, What better guarantee
can the people of Essex have than a
candidate who receives almost q
unanimous Endorsement by the people
in the district in which he lives.
"I seek the suffrage of the Republi-
can voters at the primaries, as one
who can fill the office as it should be,
having made no promises to any per-
son. no diokering with any one, no
obligations to satisfy after the nomi
nation, but I'll work as q free agent
of the people who have rendered me
their support for the Office for which
/ seek.
"Never before, that l can remem-
Der, has the common people had such
q splendid chance to choose a candi-
date of their own liking, as they
have at this coming primaries Inde-
pendent candidates have come out
and declared themselves and made
promises to the people what they
could expect If they were elected.
Have you noticed what few promises,
II any, has been made by any other
candidates, why Is it that 1t is not
necessary for all hands to present
their case before the people. / will
try and tell you why, as l find it.
Take, for instance, candidates for the
Assembly, you will notice on your
ticket it says Vote for Twelve AS
sembly," the organizations always
thnfp blty nfalrad
and bracketed and always on the top
of the ticket, more than the average
voter, 1t has been proven, goes to the
polls, takes his ticket, begins and
counts down the first twelve candi-
dates and marks them. He seldom
realizes that still under the candi-
dates selected by the different organ
izations there are candidates selected
and Endorsed by the people. who stand
firm to and will listen to the wants
of the people.
Remember, gentlemen, the position
on the ticket makes o great differ
ence in results, and | take this means
OF calling your attention to the fact
that 1t Is not necessary to vote for
the first twelve assemblymen on the
list or the last twelve assemblymen,
but you have perfect right to choose
any Of all the candidates so that you

in Essex county will stop and realize
what have noted in the above then
there will be no hesitancy to say
there would be great suffice and the
general public would come out on

that Western Essex should be repre-
scented in the assembly, consequently
j ask you to make a choice between
us, as the possibility of electing two
IS remote, and Western Essex really
doesn't expect two"
