without single constructive issue or
complaint against the Republican
administration in their platform, but
injecting Prohibition and other mat
tiers as issues simply to gain popular
sentiment and votes. Attorney Gen
eral Thomas McCran and Comptroller
Newton A. K Bugbee aroused no end
of interest and enthusiasm at the Re-
publican rally held in the State street
school auditorium Hackensack, on
Saturday night.
Former Senator William NJ John
son presided at the meeting and said
he was to we'll known to be intro

period and then criticized the Demo

the army forces are still being held
and money unnecessarily squandered,
Senator Johnson alluded to the
League OF Nations sufficiently to re-

Senator w. B. Mackay, who "by a
mere accident just failed being chos-
en- President of the Senate and by
virtue of that Office Acting Governor
