Important Facts to Voters

Eighty per cent. of the United
States is no-license territory. Gov
ernor Craig of North Carolina says
that since the Prohibition Law was
enacted that State has made great
er PROCESS than in any other period
i'll its history. Governor Crapper
of Kansas says at the end of nearly
a generation under Prohibition the
p%rohibitory law has never been so
fully approved by the people of the
State as now. One of our Presi-
dents once made this statement
i would a good deal rather lose
i'll a cause that | know some day
will triumph than in a cause that l
know some day will lose" The
Prohibition Amendment to the
Constitution will soon be enacted.
Your vote may hasten that day.
Why not vote for the cause on
Nov. 9TH, 1916?

The Destiny of Nations

And the onward march of Christian civil
zation portend the reelection of Woodrow
Wilson as President. The Republican
party was born to advance the freedom
and humanity Of mankind but has legislat-
ed and been the instrument of special priv
ilege of property for fifty years.
The sunrise of a new social democracy
made by legislation during Wilson's admin
istration and the spirit of peace and pros
perity made possible by his breaking down
the dam of commercial credits which has
given the nation a new industrial life while
the old-world system of monarchial rule is
destroying mankind, necessitates his re-
election in the present crisis of the nation
and worlds history.
THE ACE BEGUN
There shall be sung another golden age,
The rise of commerce and OF arts,
The good and great inspiring epic rage,
The wisest heads and noblest hearts.
Not such as Europe breeds in her decay;
Such as she bred when fresh and young,
When heavenly flame did animate her clay.
By future poets shall be sung.
Westward the course of empire takes its way,
The first four acts already past,
A fifth shall close the drama with the day,
Time noblest offspring is the last.

Secretary of State Martin announces
that the name of Col, James Parker, of
Louisiana, Progressive candidate for
Vice-President, will not be on any of
the official ballots in New Jersey be-
cause his name was not certified to Mr..
Martin officially as a nominee. This was
due to the fact that Col. Roosevelt re-
fused to stand as the candidate for
President. and the vacancy has not been
filled. This situation means that n
Bull Moose men who might desire to vote
for Parker will be unable to do so.
Trenton, Oct. 25.-Although it is gen
orally admitted that it is hard to pre-
dict how this election is going nation
ally and in New Jersey, because of the
difficulty in getting any definite and re-
liable line on the trend of the sentiment
of the independent "vest pocket vote,
both the Democrats and Republicans are
figuring out a victory in this State. Sen
ator Edge claims he will be elected
Governor by a plurality of 10000, and
the Republican leaders assert that
Hughes for President and ~Frelinghuysen
for United States Senator, will carry
the State by pluralities as large, if not
larger.
The Democrats are equally confident.
Naval Officer W~ittpenn, who was at the
State House yesterday afternoon, insist
ed that he would carry his county of
Hudson by 10000 to $4,000 votes, and
that the Democratic ticket, including
Wilson for President, MARITIME for Uni
ted States Senator, and himself for Gov
ernor, would carry the State by a plura-
lily larger than that. Both these re-
spective party claims are extravagant,
according to careful estimates made by
veteran political forecasters in both
camps.
Eliminating all extravagant claims Of
candidates and rainbow chasers, it is cal
culated by the Democratic ~prognostica-
tors that their party will carry the
State by a plurality of 1920. They
claim Bergen, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mid
dlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Salem, Som
erset, Sussex and Warren counties.

David Baird, the South Jersey Re-
publican leader, former sheriff of Cam
den county and former State assessor,
predicts a Republican victory in New
Jersey and the nation. Hughes will
sweep the country, he declares. Dis
Gus sing the situation in this State, he
The Penn's Grove record., 1916-11-03

says:
I'VE are assuming that Wittpenn may
get 25,000 plurality in Hudson, but even
if he does, the Republicans will come to
the Passaic River with a majority that
will wipe out Wittpenn's vote and beat
him by a smashing majority"
DIR. f. d. Frost, of Elizabeth, is advo-
eating a new system of voting. Instead
of marking an X in the square OPP
posite the name of the candidate IN the
ballot, DR.. Frost suggests the use of a
punch to make the designation. Punch
ing the square opposite the candidates
name with a punch such as conductors

likelihood Of votes being thrown out as

of accidentally making the wrong mark

use that term in its broadcast sense, for
in that sense it involves the principles

James E. MARITIME is the first representa-
tive the people of New Jersey has had
in the U. S. Senate for many years. His
support of the progressive during Presi-

The jujube tree, which bears a

which is delicious when fresh and
when dried offers confection very
similar in taste to the Persian date,
is probably the most important

is of a particular interest to the
department because it can with

The section in which it is product

This indicates that it would be Of
particular value to Texas, California,

north. Already, several thousand
seedlings have been grown at the

have borne desirable fruit. which

belief that this tree may contribute
