Home Rule

It will be of interest to the Local
Option voters of Bergen county to
know that the plan inaugurated and
carried out by them, which resulted
in sending to the Legislature last
year all Local Option Assemblymen,
in place of Anti-Local Option repre-
sentatives as heretofore, has since
been consistently and persistently
urged throughout the counties of the
State and is winning it's way as it did
in Bergen county.
About two months ago a represen-
tative of the Bergen County Local
Option League was invited to go to
Cranbury, Middlesex county, to pre-
sent the Bergen county plan for use
there. Approximately seventy-five
men were at the meeting and an or
ganization was affected. The as
semblymen from Middlesex county
have repeatedly voted against local
option. Certain of the voters, how
ever, this year determined that they
would no longer be misrepresented on
this issue, and it is fair to assume
