The one point on which there
IA the greatest variety Of opinion
Is the language used in these col
umns. The criticism Of our die
ton is varied and voluminous.
On the desk Of the writer are sew
eral letters, one Of which CON-
plains that we use too many big
words, and that many Of the read
ers are for that reason unable 90
understand the message. An
other thinks that The Menace is
deficient in literary quality, and
is therefore unreadable By the
educated, especially ministers Of
the gospel. Another laments the
alleged coarSeness and vulgarity
of the language used, and de-
plores the slang that is offensive
TO his ideas Of propriety.
Now, If our friends will think
these things over carefully they
will find that fineness and coarse
ness, smoothness and roughness,
culture and boorishness, are
largely a matter Of viewpoint or
personal opinion. We are no
doubt guilty of every fault and
subject 10 every criticism made
from the standpoint Of the critic.

Speakers in Newton Urge
Loyalty to the President

NEWTON, Nov. 2.-Notwithstand-
ing that this is an "off year. in poll
tics, the Democrats of Sussex county
turned out in large numbers to attend
the big Democratic rally which was
held in the local opera house on Sat
urday night. 1t was in every way
typical of the "old time" political
demonstration for which Sussex coun-
ty Democracy is noted. The candi-
dates and speakers were accompanied
to the hall by the Newton band and q
torchlight parade. The meeting was
held under the auspices of the county
central committee, and was practi-
cally the winding up of the Demo-
cratic campaign in this county.
Robert T. Johnson, chairman of the
county committee, acted as chairman
of the meeting. Henry T. Kays, can
didate for reelection to the Assem-
bly,, made the opening speech.
Congressman A. c. Hart, the Demo-
cratic candidate for reelection in the
appeal to the voters or the county to
return him to Washington that he
might assist President Wilson.
The last speaker was Senator James
e. MARITIME, who on account of a very
severe cold which he had contracted
during the week while campaigning
made a very brief address. He urged
the voters to support Congressman
Hart, as his election would be a vim
dication that the Democracy of "Old
Sussex" was still loyal to President
Wilson.

Political Campaign to End
in West Hudson Tonight;
Hot Contest in Kearny

With a few meetings tonight the
political campaign will wind up in
West Hudson. In Harrison there will
be but one local battle. It will be in
the Third ward, where Councilman
Frederick c. Clifton, Republican, will
be opposed for reelection by Martin
F. Desmond. Democrat. The East
Newark election, locally, will be with
out interest.
In Kearny there will be plenty Of
activity, as a councilmanic fight will
be waged in every ward. In the
First ward, Councilman John Ander-
son, Republican, will be opposed by
John J. Sullivan, Democrat. In the
Second ward, Councilman James j.
McAteer. Democrat, will have oppo-
sition from John Faichney, Republi-
can. The fight in the Third ward
will be between Councilman Daniel
Bryan and Health Commissioners
Frank Odendahl. Both are Republi-
cans, but Odendahl has the indorse-
ment of the Democrats. Councilman
Knowlton F. Pierce and Herbert
Howatt, Republican and Democrat
respectively, will lock horns in the
Fourth ward.

REPUBLICAN CHIEF
ANSWERS ATTACK
Samuel w. Smith Replies to
Statement Made by Congress
sionaI Nominee.

In connection with the candidacy
of Thomas j. Duffy, who is seeking
congressional honors in the Eighth
district Samuel w. Smith, of Kearny,
who is chairman OF the Hudson Coun-
~ Board of Elections and also head
of the Hudson County Republican
Committee, today issued a statement
in connection with the Duffy ca III
dacy. Gerald E. F. Mcdonald, the
regular Democratic candidate, nomi-
mated at the recent primaries, has
intimated that Mr.. Smith was respon-
sible to some extent for the Duffy
candidacy.
Mr.. Smiths statement follows:
"In view of the fact that the Re
publican campaign in Hudson county
has been conducted on a dignifled
and gentlemanly basis, I had no in
tention of taking any notice of the
incorporate accusations made by
Gerald E. f. Mcdonald against me
in connection with the candidacy of
Thomas ]. Duffy. My friends have
urged, however, that in justice to
IHClll duu 10 the INtpubAiNdll pehl ~ Al
Hudson county, it was my duty to
call attention publicly TO Mr.. McDon-
AIDS methods Of playing politics so
that fair-minded persons might not
be misled by his assumption of out
ragged virtue.
II have had Mr.. Duffy's petition ex-
amined and have learned that it was
signed by number of influential
Democrats and independent citizens
of the Eighth congressional district.
] have also learned, and can substan-
tiate it by witnesses, that Mr.. Duffy
himself circulated his petition and
asked for signers. Furthermore, 1t is
a fact which should be kept in mind
by all the voters in the district and
which has been widely mentioned in
the Hudson County newspapers, that
a very bitter factional feeling has ex-
listed in Hudson County since the pri
maries. and particularly in that part
of Hudson County in the Eighth con-
gressional district, where the follow
ers of the defeated Democratic can
didate for Congress say that their
candidate did not receive a square
deal in the primaries.
why therefore, does Mr.. McDon-
all these circumstances and under
take to deceive the voters of the
Eighth district in a despairing hope
of making political capital out of the

VICTORY ASSURED,
DECLARES GLYNN
Whitman Equally Confident OF
Election as New York Cam
paign Closes.

NEW YORK, Nov. Final ar
rangements for getting out the vote
tomorrow occupied the attention to-
day of the campaign managers of the
various parties, while many candi-
dates for State offices prepared to
close their campaigns with speeches
in and near New York city during the
day and tonight.
OF the candidates for governor, Dis
trict Attorney Whitman, Republican
and Governor Glynn, Democrat, will
close their campaigns with severa
addresses tonight in this city. Mr.
Whitman's plans called for speeches
during the day at Nyack, Haver-
straw and Stony Point, with night
meetings in the Bronx. Governor
Glynn will spend the day on LONG
Island and close his campaign to-
night with several meetings on the
East Side in this city. William Sui
zer candidate of the American and
Prohibition parties, and Frederick M
Davenport, nominee of the Progress
sive party, having closed their cam
paigns on Saturday, planned to spend
the day in personal canvasses and in
conference with their campaign man
ayers.
Governor Glynn gave out state
ment in which he forecast his own
election. He said in part:
Each new report that I receive
from my friends throughout the State
strengthens my belief that I will win
by decisive plurality.
LAS I have already said, Mr.. Whit

Willingness to profit by the intolerant
and un-American ISSUE which his
supporters had injected into the CAM
paign, appears to have lost him the
confidence of all broad-minded Re
publicans.
From two upstate candidates to-
day 1 received word that Mr.. Sulzer' S
statement, that If elected he would
give Mr.. Whitman blanket powers as
over the State government to Mr..
Whitman after Mr.. Sulzer had finish
ed with it, has caused the few Demo-
Gratis who still chung to Mr.. Sulzer
to disown his candidacy"
District Attorney Whitman passed
a quiet day at home yesterday. He
was highly confident over the pros
poets of the voting tomorrow.
"I have come back from my tour
he said, more than salts
fed with my prospects. I am thor
oughly confident of election
A general transfer of patrolmen for
duty at the polls tomorrow was an
by the police department last
night, and it became known today
that several hundred warrants for the
arrest of men who, it Is alleged, have
registered illegally in this city will be
to policemen assigned to
the polling places. The magistrates
courts will be open from 1880 a. m. to-
and two justices of the Su-
preme Court and two judges of the
Court of Special Sessions will sit all
day for the speedy disposal of cleo
ton and registration cases.

TAX INCREASES
BY REPUBLICANS
MUCH GREATER
Rates and Valuations Are Com
pared With Democratic Rule
by Mayor HaussIing.

A partisan censorship on facts re-
garding taxation was charged to the
local Raymond newspaper in several
addresses by Mayor Jacob Haussling
yesterday Mr.. Haussllng compared
il with the censorship on war news
'resorted to in Europe at the present
time.
One of the meetings attended by the
mayor was a gathering of the Vein,
Obst and Gartenbau Verein. at Is
Newark street, where he met the Re-
honors. Mr. Raymond did not ad-
dress the gathering. A warm well
come was given Mayor Haussling.
Quite the contrary was the case
with Mr.. Haussling. Though he had
come only for a short visit, because
of the many other places he had to
go he oYerstayed his time limit and
was also compelled to make an ad-
dress. He chose for his subject the
tax rate, and backing every argu-
ment with figures, showed that since
the four years from 1910 to 1914, when
the Common Council was under
Democratic management, the tax in
crease had been but per cent. and
that of the valuation but II per cent.
In the preceding two years, Mr.
Haussling pointed out by way of COM
parison, while the council was still
under Republican control, the increase
in valuation had been 161A per cent.
and the increase in the tax rate had
leaped by 20 per cent.
To substantiate his statement May
or Haussling gave the following
figures: Valuation for 1910, $344, 1921 =
700; in 1908, 1926, $50, 1913; increase $49,-
040, ,907, or an increase for the two
years of 1914 per cent. The city rate
in 1910 was 1887, and in 1908 1.07, an
increase of .217 or 20 per cent. in two
years. The valuation for 1914 was
$403, ,704, and in 1910 S344, ,S21, 700,
making the increase SOS, ,378, ,004, or II
per cent. The city rate in 1914 was
1856, and in 1910 12S71, an increase of
.099 or a little less than per cent.
in four years.
Continuing, the, Mayor said:
"The News undoubtedly knows all
about this, but as these comparisons
would not fit in agreeably to it's little
scheme it censored all reference to the
period of time between 1908 and 1910,
when the Republican party was in
control, for, prejudiced though it be,
its editor is not quite so foolish as to
publicly maintain that the Democratic
minority could justly be held account
able for valuations and rates raised
by the Republican majority"

by Board of Works Commissioner
Charles F. Kraemer, candidate for re-
election, and other candidates

Light Vote Predicted for
Madison; Interest Slight
Special to the Evening Star.

sIectht TO Ihe Evening othr.
MADISON, Nov. "A slim crowd
attended the Republican mass meet
ing Saturday evening in James AS
sembly Hall. This is attributed to a
general lack of interest in Madison
concerning the election tomorrow in
spite of the fact that a congressman
and sheriff are to be elected, as well
as two Assembly candidates and two
councilmen. Some state that there
was so much interest in the commits
sion government election, at which
the people decided against a change
in government, that the voters lost
sight of the regular election.
The principal speakers were John
H. Capstick, candidate for Congress;
Charles N. Fowler, who was defeated
by him at the primaries; Senator
Charles A. Rathbun and others. 1t
is generally predicted that there will
be light vote in Madison tomorrow,
the limit being set at 800, while ther"
are 1900 voters in Madison and
1.005 voted at the last general cleo
tion.
There is little or no contention be-
tween the candidates for members OF
the Common Council. The contestants
in this race are Clifford M. Crane and
Charles Behre, Republicans, and Will
lis A. Parker and Charles Neis, Dem
