THE STRATEGY OF ATTACE

THE STRATEGY OF ATTACK.
The Democrats who are trying to con
sole themselves by saying that Mr..
Hughes did little in his speech ofaccept-
ance besides criticise the Administration
apparently forgot the function OF the
opposition. The Republicans are the
"outs" and the Democrats are the 'ins.' y
1t is the business of the ''outs" to attack.
The best strategist is he who can keep
the Tins" on the defensive and prevent
them from making any assaults outside
Of their Notifications. The Democratic
complaint, therefore, indicates that the
first gun fred by Mr.. Hughes has struck
home. His second gun, fred the next
day, has made bigger breach in theil
walls. Read what he said:
If you say that the Administration
has been weak and vacillating they
reply: THAT is an old story'-they
knew that before. II you say they
have bean lacking in firmness and
consistency they say: 1--WE are
going to do better in the future and
we are going to turn over a new leaf"
Now, my friends, this is reckoning
time : We are looking over
the balance sheet and we find q seri-
GUS debit balance, and we do not
trust the Administration that has
brought it about.

attacks upon the Democratic Admins.

allowed to forget it during the next three
months. Mr.. Hughes understands how
to wage campaign and he will not lei

Hughes Points the Way

The speech Of the Republican can.

the great audience at the Carnegie
Hall meeting was In doubt for one
moment as to just what he meant by
everything he said. %
His address was comprehensive, log

occasion There can be NO dispute
as to this. Plainly Mr.. Hughes is Q

Of political authorities who heard him
and who have since read his remarks
that he knows, also, how to get 1t.
It was incumbent upon the Repub-

poses. On the stump he will argue
those points in detail. AS an orator

Medford.

The Medford Halloween Associa-
ton held meeting last Thursday
evening, for the purpose of making ar
rangements for big celebration on
Monday evening, October 30th.
This will be the seventh celebration
for Medford and without doubt this
year will surpass any of the celebra-
lions given by this little village or by
any other city or town in the county,
as the committee this year will spare
no expense or time in order to accom-
plish what they have never been able
to do before.
The special train which was put in
service last year proved to be a sue
cess and this is one proposition in par
ticular that will be given the greatest
consideration, ir order that the people
from all parts of the state can come to
Medford.
The prizes this year will be worth
competing for, as the Association ex-
poets. to make the cash prizes very at
| tractive besides the numerous other
prizes of the highest class.
The little village will be beautiful
ly decorated with festoons of different
colored lights, as we'll as the resi-
dences and the business places, which
will add to the appearance of the cele-
bration.
Do not forget the date as this is the
main feature that the Association
wishes to impress upon the public at
this time
Fuller particulars will be published
later in addition to posters which will
be distributed throughout the county.

Rate Protest Gases

The Public Utility Commission OF
New Jersey has received final briefs
from E. G. C. Bleakly and William
Carey Marshall, attorneys of the South
Jersey Commuters Association, in the
case of the protest against the proposed
increases in passenger fares by the
Pennsylvania and Reading companies.
The commuters attorneys contend
that it is not possible to determine by
the sale of tickets the full receipts from
within-State traffic, because nearly all
the various styles of Communication
tickets from all New Jersey stations
are made to read with Philadelphia as
their destination, and that by this
method the railroads are enabled to
conceal the receipts from passengers
WHO do not go outside of the State.
The other points made in the brief
are as follows: "If the railroads were
entitled in December, 1914, when they
asked for an increase in rates it does not
follow that they are entitled to such in
creases now. Because there was one
poor year in the history of the railroads
was no reason why such poor year
should be considered alone and the
following prosperous years be elm
mated.
IF one set of rates be approved. such
as on certain classes of tickets, it does
not follow that the whole increases as
proposed by the railroads should be ap
proved. 1t is not easy to divorce earn
ings from passenger and freight business
in suburban traffic, for the two go hand |
in hand. Freight and passenger bust |
ness has no relation, for instance, be- /
tween New York and Philadelphia but
between Philadelphia and suburban
stations in New Jersey the freight re-
ceipts are dependent upon cheap fares.
inducing persons to locate in the sub
urbs, with the consequent increase in
freight receipts.
In concluding the attorneys remind
the commission that the burden of
proof is on the railroads to show why
fares should be increased and not on the
travelling public to show to the contrary.
The growth and prosperity of the entire
lower half of the State is involved, and
will be retarded if an increase in fares
is permitted.
