against the imposition of direct
taxes. And now comes along a wal
tax. Why? We are not at war. In
my own personal business | have lost
money each year for the last three
years.
Says the Government is Busted
GAS for the government, it is
busted. The Democrats console them
selves, however, with their Federal
Reserve Bill. They have no right to
claim the credit for this bill. 1t was
originally prepared by Senator Aid
rich, Republican. Under his plan
too, the control of the reserve was
placed in the hands of bankers: under
the Democrats this control has been
given over to politicians.
"The Democrats are also respon-
sible for the antitrust bills. Origin
ally, the states taxes on the Standard
Oil properties within it's borders were
sufficient to cover it's financial needs.
The Seven Sisters Act of Governor
Wilson have had the effect of driving
corporations out of the state"
Predicts Republican Success
Mr.. Sears touched also on the lack
of preparedness in the navy. In re-
gard to the recent boom in war con-
tracts the speaker said that they
were the one hope of Democrats had
as vindication of their manage
ment. AS for Mexico, and the world
war, he would only say that Republi-
cans were Americans first, and after
wards Republicans. This year, of
course, the election had to do only
with the union offices: but next year
would be a great Republican year.
The County Officers ....
Mr. Sears said that in the coming
election the candidates for sheriff
would be Jim Mercer, Republican;
Thorp, Democrat, who has the back
ing of Senator Hennessey; and Van
Buskirk, Democrat, with Congress-
man Hart's backing. Among the Re-
publican candidates for Assembly
were the one-time Progressives, f.
Yancey Cohn, H. M. Bailey and Ack-
erman. Others were Messrs. Glover,
of Englewood, and Gretzen, men of
the highest calibre, who could be
trusted to handle the States business
faithfully and well.
One of Committeeman Sears most
important messages was the one that
the organization was looking for men
of desired mould for candidates for
the offices of the seven freeholders,
at yearly salary of $1,50O None
of the present large board would be
eligible.
Mr.. Winney's Winning Talk
Mr.. Winney was next introduced
by Mr.. Sears as the recently elected
secretary of the county committee
to succeed Van Worst Wells, who died
last week. Mr.. Winney is also can
didate for Assembly. Mr.. Winney's
remarks showed him to be a bright
and able young man. He said that he
was from Hasbrouck Heights, where
they had a thriving Republican or
ganization. He said that among the
noticeable results of Democratic rule
were idle freight cars, the scarcity
of factory whistles, lack of pay days,
and patches on pants. He spoke of
the Free Trade hope dope as hot air;
referred to the $1,000,000 deficit in
New Jersey last year, and the threat
of bond issue by the State. One
distinction between the two parties
was that the Republican promises
were kept.
