4 word as to Mr.. Munroe, as he i'm
pressed the interviewer. Munroe is 6
man in the early forties, about five
feet six inches in height and of slight
nhvsioue. His hair is shot with gray.
he has a protruding brow and
students pose He wears eyeglasses
He is a very positive character; a
puritan of the Calvinistic school; he
inpresses one as a hard-headed, per-
severing man. His singleness of pur-
pose is apparent in all he says and
does. Obsessed with the idea that the
! saloons of Newark are a menace and
that the rigid observance of all the
old blue laws is necessary to the
"salvation of the people" he has
dedicated his life and his talents to
the anti-saloon cause.
The nature of the letters he writes,
the caustic English he uses, his
methods of attack, stamp him, in the
opinion or the interviewer, as a man
who justif1es his methods by the old
philosophy, 1.-THE end ustifies the
means"
New Jersey as a DRY state.
THAT Mnnroe is convinced of the
merit of his cause is apparent by the
energy he displays in his work; that
he believes New Jersey will soon be
dry State" is apparent by the
vigor of his efforts. He is a strong,
determined character and an indie
fatigable worker The fact that the
Anti-Saloon League is working tooth
and nail'' to defeat Haussling, fur
nishes in itself the best proof that
Raymond has entered into a compact
with the Anti-Saloon League, for
Munroe, the attorney of the league, Is
by all tokens, a man that would in
sistently demand quid pro quo.
In the parlance of the street, the
Anti-Saloon League Is not working
day and night and spending its money
for the good of its health.
A second visit was paid to the head
quarters of the Anti-Saloon League,
and another interview obtained, this
time with T. Lloyd Lewis, an active
organizer. Lewis Is a clean cut ag-
gressive young man in the early
twenties.
Mr.. Lewis confirmed the statement
made by Mr.. Munroe that the league
was "out for Raymond" and when
asked what he thought of the cam
paign the league was waging, said:
well, we are working hard for Ray
mond, but all in quiet way"
When Lewis's attention was drawn
to the fact that Raymond had been
making promises to saloonkeepers,
and that he had promised to put
a saloonkeeper on the excise board, he
said: We'll, | don't know about that,
but, of course, 1 don't believe he will
do it. He cannot go back on his
promises"
What PROMISES" quickly asked
the interviewer. "Yop mean the
pledge he has made to the Anti
Saloon Lacquer"
As to Raymond's Promises.
Eyes, of course, but 1 cannot dis
cuss that; you had better see Mr..
Shields about that. He will be back
soon. He Is out touring the State.
He's the man that made Illinois dry,
you know. He's the slickest politician
of them all"
Accompanied by Mr. Lewis the In
terviewer walked into Mr.. Munroe's
office.
After an exchange of greetings, Mr..
Munroe, upon being. asked "How's
your campaign going here?" an
swered, I'VE keep plugging away
all our members are hard at work for
Raymond"
A discussion of the Evening News's
vice survey followed, and Mr..
Munroe said he thought that the re-
port should never have been eircu-
lated; that 1t didn't prove anything.
Asked as to whether he had noticed
that the Survey" stated there was
not a single house of i'll fame in New
ark, and that the Survey" also COM
mended the police department for it's
general efficiency, he nodded his head
and said: well. it's too bad"
disappointed with Vice Survey.
''Do you think the vice survey Is
worth $4,000, it's cost?" was asked.
Mott isn't worth ten CENTS" said
Mr.. Munroe.
At the request of Mr.. Lewis the in
terviewer dictated q letter to the Re-
publican campaign manager In ono
of the southern counties Of the State.
In this particular county only the
Progressive candidate has come out
for local option" and the interviewer
recited in detail the work that the
Anti Saloon League was attempting.
IA good letter. said Mr. Munroe.
The interviewer blushed with appre-
ciative pride at the encomium of Mr..
Munroe, who is some letter writer
himself. shook hands with the asser-
tive attorney and accompanied by the
county organizer walked to the ele-
vator. Mr.. Lewis pushed the but on,
and upon the arrival of the car babe
the interviewer a pleasant Good
luck, good morning."
