er The Republicans have facts and fig
lie ures to work on. They do not have to
re descend to personalities, which are
It only necessary when the side using
ID them is notable to produce good argu-
Ut ments to bolster up its own case.
# Charles Rigg for Surrogate. Well
versed in the work of the Orphans
e court, having had experience in the
n Office he seeks, he will be elected be-
t yond the shadow of doubt. We pre-
i Idict he will be the highest man on the
county ticket.
: The Democrats-some few of them
are saying that they will defeat En-
: NOR Roberts for reelection as member
of the Assembly. This was told us in
real, strict semblance of sincerity. And
the man who told it was sober. Where
there can be any reason to retire EN-
NOR Roberts has not yet been shown.
He will go back just the same.
The name of Frelinghuysen is ,one
the Oldest and most respected in the
state of New Jersey. But Joseph s.
Frelinghuysen is not relying upon
family name to carry him to success.
He is an able man and will be credit |
to his state in the United States SEN
ate. We have had enough Of Joke"
Jim MARITIME. We want man and we
have one on the Republican ticket.
A gentleman who lives in Newark
and who is in position to observe and
ascertain conditions, was in Mount
Holly on Sunday. He is not an adj
mirer of Senator Edge, but he said:
New Jersey will go Republican,; Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen will be the high
man on the ticket and Walter Edge
will be elected by not less than 10000
majority" This latter prediction might
not have been just as he liked, but he
said he based his opinion on what he
had seen and heard in places where he
had chance to get information.
The campaign, SO far as Otto Witt
penn is concerned, has been one of
mudslinging and abuse. He has at
tempted to besmirch the character of
Senator Edge, but he has cheapened
himself to great degree. 1t hardly
becomes Wittpenn, with his wide open
policy in Jersey City, to call any one
names or to try to blacken the charac-
ter of a man who is head and should
ers above the Democratic candidate in
every particular. The light manner in
which Wittpenn treated the insult to
the American flag is also point
that does not reflect to his credit.
AS poetry seems to be entering into
this campaign, hereis specimen from
the Philadelphia Ledger:
II man hits you and does you harm
DO not dare to raise your arm.
DO not cuss or raise alarm,
Send him note.
If he hits you on the nose,
Takes your jewelry and your clothes,
No matter where he goes
Send him a note.
II he calls you blooming liar,
Or even sets your house on fire,
DO not let your patience tire.
Send him note
If he comes with you to board,
steals your stocking with the hoard,i
Rattles away in your old Ford,
Send him note.
Meier mind what you think is right,
You have lost with all your might,
But you've kept out of fight
BY sending note.
Things like these do abhor, !,
But writing notes l must adore, =
Wilson kept us out OF war II
ME- FOR HUGHES. "
DR.. Harry Vaughan was nominated e
by petition as the local option candi-
date for Governor. DR.. Vaughan de-
c1ined to accept the honor, but Secre-
tary of State Martin, knowing that
local option candidate for Governor q
would benefit the Democrats, tried by
every means in his power to keep the
local option man on. A summons was
served on Secretary Martin to appear d
before Chief Justice Gummere to show
cause why the name of Mr.. Vaughan
should not be taken from the ticket,
but the secretary evidently got his =
sober second thought" for he sent :
word to the county clerks not to put
Mr.. Vaughan's name on the ballots.
That the securing of petition for the
candidate was a Democratic scheme
was suspected from the first, and the q
persistent refusal of Martin to accept S
Mr.. Vaughan's declination strengthen
ed the presumption. 1t was to have
been a smart Democratic trick, but it
did not work.
Col. E. l.. Price, formerly chairman
of the State Democratic Committee,
and one of the most active and best
known Democratic leaders in the state,
has come out with vigorous denunci-
alton of Wilson and also shows his OPP
position to Otto Wittpenn. Col. Price
declares that Wittpenn iss part and
parcel OF Wilson's outfit" In his in
teryiew Col. Price spoke as follows:
"Since my youth l have followed
the Democratic party in victory and
defeat. / Loyalty and cheerfully sup
ported Woodrow Wilson for Governor
| of New Jersey and for his initial term
| for President of the United States, but
| in the present contest, after much
earnest thought and mature reflection,
am opposed to his reelection and in
tend to cast my vote against him, A
vote for his reelection means an en-
dorsement of his foreign policy and his
acts and doings since the beginning OF
| the world war.
81 view with horror and detestation |
his policy and his acts connected with |
our national relations with Mexico. In |
all our history as nation was there |
ever such continuous course of hest |
tation, bravado, demagogism, wab- |
bling and cowardice by President Of |
the United States?
81 earnestly hope to see as result of
the election a cleanup and clear out, |
root and branch, for all time to come, |
of Wilson and wisconsin in our State
and Nation"
The Republicans have good set of
candidates for township offices and
there is no reason why they should not
all be elected. There is one thing that
