| treatment at the hands of the County
Committee at this time, and expect
ing none, we feel hat no preiudices
should be permitted to obscure the
issue that we are endeavoring to pre-
sent to the Republican voters.
"We feel
"First That the people of Bergen
county demand complete change
in the County Government.
Second. That the voters demand
as never before, clean-cut, definite
pledges before the primaries.
"Third. That the Republican party
as never before in the history of Ber-
gen county, faces great opportunity
for real public service.
Fourth. The Small Board Act was
conceived by Republicans and by
them should be carried to a success
full conclusion. Upon this platform
we have joined together.
whether the voters on November
2 will choose the Republican party
as the agency for executing the peo-
pies will depends in our opinion on
the outcome of the primary election.

Mr.. Heck charged that the group
had been selected by one man, and
later on, laying his hand on the
shoulder of Mr.. Brohel,who sat di-
rectly ahead of him, said, "This is the
man. He said that one man was
not able to tell the public what was
what.
Joseph Kinzley, jr., accepted the
challenge and answered Mr.. Heck to
the effect that he didn't know that
they were picked out by one man.
I'VE simply came together as a
group because we would like to be
elected that way" he said.
1t was at this point that Mr. KIM
ley hit some of the candidates hard
by saying that he would not care to
be associated with certain of the can
dldates that are running and that
was the reason for his bracketing.
Continuing, Mr.. Kinzley said:
Il am candidate for the Small
Board of Freeholders because many
good Republicans have urged me to
join with my colleagues in an effort
to be elected. Our single purpose
is a house cleaning in the manage
ment of the county government that
will reflect credit on the G. O. P.
Every taxpayer and thinking man
and woman in Bergen county is con-
vinced that it is high time for COM
piete reconstruction in the interest of
handling the business of the county.
Most of us have thought so for years.
Before the present era of staggering
expenditures, it was apparent that
the large Board was a relic which
couldn't be economical and efficient
If it tried. And it isn't on record
that many 81 a meeting men ever
tried. The few who did really try,
were usually out-voted by the chaps
who tried hardest to keep the old
game going.
"Orgies in road building and much
talk about the big jump in taxes have
aroused the people to point where
they are mad clear through. Right
or wrong, they want a change"
Further on Mr.. Kinzley said: eve
believe we shape up strongest and
that if the workers want to ride a
winner ours is the outfit for the race
We have put the good of our party
above our own desires. Everyone of
us, if nominated, and elected, will
make sacrifices to give of our serv-
ices"
Mr.. Beswick spoke highly of J,
Blauvelt Hopper, of Ridgewood, whom
he declared, mo one man picked
him; no one individual selected
Ridgewood's candidate"
Vice-Chairman Gilhooley urged
harmony and said that the committee
should support the parties nominated.
E. B. Webbon, of Ridgefield Park,
one of the bracketed seven, wanted
to know why all this discussion when
he understood that the County Com
mittee had no objection to brackets.
'Our interest is to clean up Ber-
gen county and if you don't want it
cleaned up, don't elect u.s." he said
Louis e. Coe, of Englewood, an
other member of the bracket, talked
along the same lines and ended his
IeHldIhS ny Saying IIldC WHeH tHe
County Committee failed to endorse
the Gill Act, they dug their own
graves"
Mr.. Brohel got in another shot at
those who are opposed to the brack-
eted seven, when he said he had
been prompted as a Republican in
framing the list for the success of
the party. He said that he had
heard that certain people were ask
ing "What does Brohel want?"
Il don't want any job. Any service
I can give my party, without hope
of reward, that's what l am trying
to do" he declared.
Senator Wakelee was called upon
for speech and declared that he
proposed to work for whoever is
nominated on the Republican ticket
at the primaries. He said there was
a fine lot of candidates in and out of
the brackets and hoped that the seven
best men would win. He urged that
there be no hard feelings and that the
entire party support the successful
candidates. Personally he said, he
was opposed to the direct primaries
