BUGBEE WRITES AN
APPEAL FOR MONEY
Asks immediate Funds for G.
O. p. Because of "Un-
usual Conditions"

Letters containing touching ap-
peal for money have been received
by bankers, manufacturers and Others
with ready money for the past few
days. They come from Newton A. K.
Bugbee, chairman of the Republican
State Committee, and ask for funds
for the Republican campaign, which
are greatly needed now owing to "un-
usual conditions"
1t is said that the circular is the
result of a recent conference Mr.. Bug
bee had with Republican leaders, in
which the fear was expressed that
Wilson sentiment, enhanced by his
attitude toward the belligerent ma
tions, would grow to menacing pro
portions unless money was gotten i'm
mediately to check 1t through a pub
licity campaign.
"Unusual conditions have arisen,
that make it necessary for us to ad-
dress this appeal to you,' the State
chairman's letter sets forth. 1.-THE
Democratic press is making an or
ganized attempt to force the war
complications into the foreground OF
public thought in order that the fail
ure of the Wilson administration
may be forgotten and in this way Sc
cure the reelection of the president.
1t Is a situation that endangers the
election of Republican administra-
ton in 1916, unless we can meet 1t by
continued publicity
'"The war in Europe is not an issue,
but the Democratic party Is working
overtime to make it SO. We must
impress upon the minds of the people
that the Wilson administration has
been fatal to our solid Industries;
that the Underwood tariff bill has
diminished the revenue of the coun-
try and looted the national treasury
to such an extent that even the impo-
sition of additional taxes has not
been sufficient to make up the enor-
nous deficit.
"The State committee is doing
everything in its power and will con-
tinue to do so as long as it has the
necessary money. Can you not help
us with your contribution? Your
promptness will double the value of
your contribution. We know you
want a. Republican victory in 1916
help us to make it possible"

Estimates for Repairing
Building Vary SO Much
Contract Award Deferred

Because there was such a variance
in the estimates submitted by a half
dozen contractors for the work of
stuccoing the exterior of the Maple
wood municipal building, the South
Orange Township Committee last
night decided to defer the awarding
of a contract for the work. The
lowest bid was submitted by A. K.
Stanevitch, of Bloomfield. He figured
that he could do the Work for $685.
Other bids ranged as high as $1,000.
1t was on recommendation of
George Edward Krug, architect, that
the awarding of the contract was de-
layed. The architect said he feared
the work could not be done accord
ing to specifications at the Bloomfield
mans figure. The contract will be
awarded at the next meeting of the
committee.
On recommendation of Committee
man William A. Greepaway, Norman
Becker was named janitor of the Hill
ton public building, at a monthly
salary of $25 Several applications
were received from citizens asking for
the appointment.

that that street be curbed and a new
gutter installed from Ridgewood road
west to Wyoming avenue. The mat
ter was referred to the road COM
mittee and engineer for a report at
the next meeting. A communication
