the voters Of the state give ear once
more to their campaign pledges and this
time with 7. M. Patterson as their eau
didate for governor. Had they again
approached the voters with q candidate
for governor as little known to the
great mass of the voters as the present
governor was in the last campaign, the
voters might have been taken in by
theirpresent promises, but the voters
know 7. NJ. Patterson. They know him
to be trouble breeder. They know
that he will in this campaign have the
support of all the trouble agitators of
the state and that he could not be safe

Of law and order platform. Knowing
him as well as they do. the voters will
not be persuaded to support him for
