The Police Departments bulky re-
port TOR 1918 comes out ct a suspicious
time said the Congressman. 1T Is
issued almost eleven months after the
expiration of the year with which it
deals and comes out two weeks before
an election. Besides containing mat
ters concerning the workings of the
Police Department, the text Of the
leVen~months-old report is at times
extremely political and not civic.
Pollncal attacks have no place in
such volume, for which the taxpayers
and rent payers must foot the bill.
Inc publication at this time. when the
method OF running the Police Depart
ment is exposed to serious and weighty
criticism and with an election so close
at hand shows plainly enough that the
people are paying for an extravagant
polltlcal document.
The Comm Missioner, in his own tardv
report on his own work. covers himself
with glory and showers high praise on
the Mayor for permitting the admin

interference. The public must remem-

this campaign document, which is new
way OF collecting political assessments
in that all members of all parties-and
members of no party-are forced to
share IN the expense.
What the people Of New York City
are interested to know is how many
robberies, murders and other serious
crimes we're committed in New York
city during August, September and Oc-
tober of 1919. how many Of these Grim
mails have been caught, how many have
not been caught and what is the COM

escapes. This would throw some light
on the effect of changes in police meth

Special Correspondence
NEWARK, Oct. 2O.-State Comp
troller Newton A. K. Duebee opened
the third week Of mis- campaign 70,
the Governorship this evening with the
largest rally to date It was staged in
the Orange arulory and was attended
by about 1000 persons. The visit to
Orange, which was preceded by CON
terence during the afternoon al
Newark between the Republican candi-
date and Republican leaders in Es-
sex County, marked Bugbee's third
invasion Of this county since the open
ing OF the campaign.
1t is his intention TO return Satur-
day and to make two or three more
visits before November 4, as both his
campaign managers admit the inlpor-
tance OF results IN Essex in relation
to final victory.

y committee last week complete har-
mony has been brought aoout, it is be-

Great Importance is attached to the
fact that Thomas n. Raymond. Gov
ernor Runyon and former State Senator
Everett Colby, the originator Of the
New Idea wing Of the Republican
party in Essex a few years ago, will
stump for Bugbee Leaders point to
the active participation of these men as
an indication of the restoration of har-
mony in the party in Essex and Union
counties, where the Republican vote
was mixed up in the primary because
OF the campaigns of Runyon and Pay
mord.
In his Orange speech Mr.. Bugbee con-
demned the attitude Of the Democratic
party on the prohibition question. de-
claring it stands for qualification Of the
Constitution, and insisted that in the
event of the election of Senator Edwards :
the administration of the state will
be characterized by the same misman-
agement that is charged to exist in
Hudson County under the direction Of
Mayor Hague of Jersey City, Senator
Edwards's chief lieutenant.
