Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-09-30

editor of the Evening News, when his
grandfather wanted to be appointed
Supreme Court judge-that even Jim
Smith went down and tried to have
him appointed, but Leon Albeit said
Scudder is no good and / won't ap-
point him. A couple of years ago
when President Wilson was elected,
young Scudder wanted to go to
Albania to represent the United
States at the court of the Prince OF
WED. When President Wilson re-
fused to appoint him-the News went
back to the Progressive party.
1.-THE News started today with a
postal printed in a rat shop, part
of which reads as follows: AS a
means of learning the state of public
opinion in Newark regarding condi-
lions of municipal government the
News has undertaken, at the request
of the Citizens Movement Commit
tee, to conduct postal card canvass
Now. the citizens committee was
financed by Mr.. Scudder, who put up
$4,000 and who hired Mr.. Kenneth
Douglass, the man that went through
Newark with a fine comb, the man
who tried to find out connection be-
tween the city government and vice.
j dared Mr.. Scudder to publish the
report. Let's see where his $4,000
went to. He dared not publish the
report, because the report showed
that there was no connection and he
admitted it once himself"
Mr.. Nugent then read the following
questions from the postal above re-
ferred to:
'F'irst--Are you dissatisfied with
the conduct of municipal affairs
by the present administration?
Your reasons, stated in a few
words, will be appreciated.
"Second-Are you in favor of
supporting Thomas l.. Raymond
for Mayor"
81 don't want to be personal, but
could answer that last question:" said
Mr.. Nugent.
Mr. Nugent read from the News
furnishings Regime an Expensive
Luxury. Taxpayers paying so per
cent. more than before"
Declares Statement Untrue.
II say there is no taxpayer in this
city paying so per cent. more than he
did before said Mr.. Nqgent. 1T
is absolutely untrue. The cost of
the public school system is not con-
sidered in the computation because
that frequently entails extraordinary
expenditures in fast growing COM
munity, the article says. They do
not include public schools or water.
Why not?
Eloquent figures, these are, de-
nouncing the Haussling regime. In
the same issue the paper has an
article, Public Schools Moving For
ward, and on the same editorial page
it conmends us for having the finest
public school system in the United
States
I'm 1907 we had none of these things.
In 1914 we< have them all. say to
Mr.. Scudder and to his Evening News
he is guided by his pocket. If he got
his 100000 back tomorrow he. would
be with Haussling for Mayor.
II have not had chance to look
through the article on the city of
with us for selling bonds. We used
to sell bonds for 27s. when the English
government could not.
The city of New York refunded $780,
100000 of bonds at 6 per cent. They
were required to leave $4,000, 900 of
them in the banks of the city of New
York for two or three years and they
had to pay 2 per cent. exchange.
THAT means more than IL per cent.
The city of Newark refunded IT'S bonds
on contracts for per cent. The city
OF newark borrowed money during
Thu panic at per cent. and the city
of Newark has enough money in its
treasury to meet Its obligations until
next April.
| eff ii is q crime to have financed
/ your city better than the greatest city
in the world IL 1t is crime to develop
your streets, to maintain Fairgrounds,
to reclaim your meadows; If you are
to be beaten for making the city OF
Newark the best place In the world
to live in, then condemn us,
There is no Democrat in the city
but that can walk UP to the Evening
| News and say, 4 belong to the party
that made your city. belong to the
/ party that did great things
eff the fight is between Jim and
the Evening News I will meet Mr.
lScudder here or anybody from his
paper and / will discuss Newark and
fight it out with him. They cannot
beat Haussling, They think they can
beat me. But when they beat me
1 will walk out and there is no Demo.
crat who will ever have to blush fol-
what I have done"
On motion of owen N. Conlon the
committee by a rising vote adopted
resolutions of regret on the death OF
former Judge Francis Child.
