RECORD FOR
George L. Will Stir The State
On The Paramount Issue.

George L. Record, the greatest poll
teal agitator, educator and leader whom
New Jersey has had in the past twenty
years, has announced himself as a Re
publican candidate for Governor on a
local option platform.
Mr.. Record has been accused of be-
ing a Eighty party man by acting first
with one party and then another. He
is as wise and shrewd as the special
privileged interests which have chang
ed from n party machine to the 9th
er on successive years while the blind
partisan people have been led I'D dark
alleys on a wild goose chase and then
abandoned. George is as wise as Baal-
ANS ass, who saw further than his mas
ter. He knows where to start and stop,
because he has a wider and keener DO
litical vision than the great majority of
the people who are alternately hood
winked by the old shrewd political lead
ers.
Senator Austen Colgate of Essex
county; Senator Walter Il. Edge, OF At
lantic county; and former Senator John
d.. Prince, of Passaic county, are the
candidates for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor. All three hail from
counties where the liquor interests con
troll and all three have voted against local
option bills and will be controlled by the
liquor interests and public utility cor
.porations. Their votes in the l~egisla-
ture show they have such a record. Con-
sequently the great mass of Republican
voters who favor local option and are
represented by such votes in the legis-
lature, have no candidate for Governor
who favor their interests.
George L. Record, who has always
been faithful to the peoples interests in
every position, offers himself as their
candidate. They have no other. In ac-
this nomination, Mr.. Record said:
I'VE start here and now the greatest
fight that has been fought in New Jersey
since the Republican party was founded.
1t is another emancipation fight.
1T is a fight to redeem New Jersey
from the rule of the brewers and public
utility corporations; to reduce the cost
of living, encourage business, make en-
plOyment for idle men and idle capital
by forcing the idle land into use through
exempting buildings and the product of
labor from taxation.
For 20 years, with only brief inter
walls, the combination of brewers and pub
lie utility corporations has actually gov
erned the State of New Jersey.
"They have done it by supplying to the
bosses of both parties the money with
which they have controlled nominations
and carried elections"
The remedy for these conditions is
to enact local option and home rule laws.
giving to the majority in each munich
pality the right to decide whether they
will have saloons or not.
Here is a definite program which
every voter can understand for inn
proving the condition of all people who
work for a living and all who do bust
ness in New Jersey"
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
The Democrats have a candidate who
favors local option in Senator Charles
OConnor Hennessey, of Bergen county.
The other candidates for the Democratic
nomination are Secretary of State Thos.
E. Martin and Naval Officer Fl. Otto
Wittpenn, both of Hudson county.

Shortly after his election he made
one of his grandstand plays about
$500 being a very adequate salary
and advocated a law reducing 1t TO
that amount, though he knew at the
time that It was constitutional pro-
vision and that the legislature could
not change 1t. He, OF course, could
have proved his sincerity by not
drawing more than $500. However,
he did draw the full $1,000 and here
we find him claiming that he cannot

HELP THE BOYS

Just a few days over a month ago
the call was sounded throughout Ida
ho for volunteers to enlist in the ma
tional guard of Idaho, and although
Bear Lake county had never even
had d peace military organization,
some &c of our young men responded
to the call. Practically all OF them
were young men who had been &C
customed to the better things OF life
the comforts OF home, the care
free life of the average boy was all
that they had known, but being red
blooded American citizens they re-
sponded to the call of their country.
Now these boys are living the life OF
q soldier-they are all good men
and true, and are not grumbling
about their lot, but don't you think
that we, who remained behind,
should get "behind" these boys and
back them with our moral support
and for the next three months give
them reasonable financial support?
Uncle Sam only pays these boys
SIS a month, and fancy having to
buy the things a fellow needs on III
a month. Uncle Sam does not fur
nish towels or soap, neither does he
pay for laundry or the half-soling OF
the mems shoes.
We dare say that there is scarcely
a citizen of Bear Lake county but
what is able to give a little some
thing to help the boys out. Other
communities In the state are contrib
uting to the support of the men who
enlisted, and surely the boys of Bear
Lake are as deserving of financial
assistance as are those of any other
county The Examiner would like tC
see some concerted action taken in
this matter. We know that there are
many who are ready to contribute
from 81 to SIS, but there is no one fol
them to give it to, who will see to II
that the money reaches the boys from
this county. 1t seems to us that Il
would be we'll for the Montpelier
Chamber of Commerce to take this
matter up and outline a plan of &C
ton. Appoint a committee Of re
sponsible men in the county who will
receive the money and transmit i
to the proper officer at Nogales.

NOT ON THE BARGAIN COUNTER

When Roosevelt was president,
his secretary of state negotiated a
treaty with Denmark for the pur-
chase of the Danish West Indies, the
three islands of St. John, st. Thomas
and St. Croix, at 100000 That
was the price fixed in the agreement
between Denmark and the United
States. The treaty was ratified by
the American congress and by the
lower branch of the Danish parlia-
went. 1t was defeated by one vote
in the upper branch. Denmark,
because of straitened circumstances
due to the European war, recently
expressed the desire to enter into
another treaty for the purchase of
the islands by the United States. The
present administration has agreed
to pay $25, 600 for the same
islands. throwing i'm American dis
covery rights in Greenland. Dem
mark is going to charge us five times
as much as she would have charged
Roosevelt. Is this due to the high
cost of living ?The taxpayers have to
pay heavy income taxes, munition
taxes, taxes on copper, inheritances,
and everything else. They have to
pay for a $20,000,000 nitrate plant,
when private interests would have
built plant without charge to them
and would have let the government
fix its own price for the nitrates
They have to pay II 900, 600 for a
government armor-plate factory, al.
though the private plants offered tc
save the government this expense
and let it fix its own price for armoI
plate. The cost of living has gone
up. So has the cost of government

FROM IDAHO no WYOMING

A new postofice building is being
completed at Freedom in Wyoming
across the old stand in Idaho. For
twenty years or more, the govern
ment supposed that the postoftice
was In Wyoming. When the Office
was taken out of the Burton store,
ii was necessary for the postmaster
to collect certain data as to the loca-
ton of the building. II was then dis
covered by the department at Wash
ington that the postoffice was in
Idaho and not as supposed in Wyo-
ming.
Orders went out for the mail to
be addressed to Freedom, Idaho, and
as a result much trouble in receiving
mails was occasioned. The people Of
Freedom called mass meeting and
got up a petition to have the office
in Wyoming. In order to comply with
regulations, the new building is go
ing up. Mail should now be addressed
