Chairman Perkins Speaks
"The sun of Republicanism," said
he, 'is about to burst once again in
full splendor and shine forth in Ber-
gen County as it has not shone in
several years. These are prophetic
words but they are justified by the
new events. / believe l voice the
sentiments of the County Committee
when l declare that no matter what
our differences may have been in the
past every member of this Com
mittee will stand shoulder to should
er in the effort to insure a clean
sweep on November 2, for the en-
tire Republican ticket. The men who
have been nominated are the choice
of the Republican voters. They have
been nominated in strict accordance
with the law. Our duty therefore
is plain.
Every member of the County Com
mittee will do all he can to aid in the
election of the candidates nominated.
We say to our Progressive friends
who have been nominated at the Re
publican primaries that we shall all
support them Loyalty. Every candi-
date nominated is Republican.
Ellis Republicanism is not bounded
by any particular idea or creed. He
stands with us in the Republican
party prepared to fight for success
at the polls.
"Our Progressive friends will bring
with them into the party 1000 votes
that the Republican party OF Bergen
needs to win. A reunited party
means sweeping victory in Novem-
ber"
Assembly candidates James 7.
Alderman, of Ridgewood; Herbert
M. Bailey, of Hackensack; Progress
sives, and Walter G. Whine, of Has
brouck Heights, Regular, got rous-
ing greetings when they spoke
There were also ovations when the
Freebooter candidates, nominated on
a house-cleaning platform, addressed
the County Committee briefly.
Chairman Perkins spoke In flat
tering terms of the Freebooter as
well as the Assembly candidates.
Assembly candidate, Herbert M.
Bailey, for years leader OF the
Progressives, was we'll received, as
he announced that he was ready to
fight for the entire ticket named by
the Republicans.
"The Republican primaries" said
Candidate Bailey, "have resulted IN
Bergen county in such a way that
each of the former factions of the
party have representation on the As
sembly ticket. They have resulted
in the nomination of men for Free
holders whom all of us can support
with genuine enthusiasm. We are
helped, also, in this policy by the
fact that the Democratic primaries
in Bergen county developed a wide
breach in the Democratic party and
that that faction of the Democratic
party triumphed which we can justly
charge with favoring the system OF
county government which the peo-
pie want to see ended and put out
of business.
"There is open to us the oppor-
tunity for harmonious campaign In
which we can all support the entire
Republican ticket and work together
If this is done the end of the cam
paign will see us victorious and the
campaign itself will bring us into
such personal relations one with
the other that we can work together
here in the coming years harmonl-
ously and without friction. pro-
pose to do all that l can to secure
the election of the entire Republican
ticket"
