State Senator Smith Out in
Support Of Bugbee

PATERSON, Aug. 14.-State Sem
ator Albin Smith today gave out a
statement concerning the gubernatorial
fight in the forthcoming primaries,
supporting Newton A. K. Bugbee and
stating that the issues and conditions
at this time made it ESSENTIAL that a
man of Mr.. Bugbee's type be placed
in the governors chair. The statement
follows:
THE coming election, in my opinion,
Is the most important one that 1 have
ever participated in, and each succeed
ing one will be more important. The
matters that vitality interest the peo-
pie of New Jersey. n our country,
are before us now for solution and
there must be no side-stepping or
evasion by the candidates whom 1 shall
support. The high cost of living and
the profiteering in it's every phise must
be aiken by the throat and not by its
tail, and legislation enacted at once to
stop 1t, even if a special session of the
legislature is necessary for that pur-
pose. Other important matters are
involved, viz: Reduction of taxes and
giving women the right of suffrage.
I'm order to accomplish this, PEG
pie again turn to the Republican
party and since Paterson's beloved and
esteemed citizen, Vivian M. Lewis, has
requested that his name be not men
toned in the coming gubernatorial
campaign, there is in my opinion a
candidate now in the field, who, from
his present record should receive the
favorable consideration of the voters
of Passaic county-that man is New
ton A. K. Bugbee.
II believe Mr.. Bugbee knows the
people of u State and their needs
EAnn -
l further believe he is a man who does
things ~squarely and fearlessly and is
worthy of the support Of the voters OF
this county n that he appeals to all
of us as sound, progressive and 100
per cent American.

Federal Action Against All
PrOfitSerng in Sugar
BE- special correepondenf.

By Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVLLLE, Aug, 14=Federal
Attorney James d. Bell has an
nounced that he is ready to prose-
cute and severely punish anyone in
Staten Island. Brooklyn and Long
Island who has received more than
eleven cents q pound for sugar since
the price of sugar was fixed at that
figure months ago.
The federal attorney says II will
deem 1t a patriotic act if any man or
woman will come here and give me
proof that they paid more than that
figure for sugar. 1t matters not how
big or small the dealer, 1 will imme-
diately prosecute and see to it that
the limit sentence is imposed. This
is not o. time for citizens to become
indignant 1t is time for them to be-
come active and useful. I have pow
er to punish the profiteers but I have
to depend upon a small force to bring
in the evidence. This force Is now
engaged investigating the big cold
storage men. While they are at work
on the campaign that will force the
price of meats and bread down, 1
would like to get at the profiteers in
sugar and the foodstuffs manufac-
tured from it,"
The increase in candy has been
called to the attorneys attention.
According to Colonel Bell the fixed
retail price of sugar of clever cents
is not more than -four and probably
only three cents higher than the pre-
war prices. Wholesale prices are
similarly low.
Yet" said Colonel Bell, 1--WE find
candy makers and candy sellers
charging the absurd figure of $3.50
for a pound of candy that formerly
sold for sixty cents on the excuse of
increased cost of labor. Did they
Immediately drop the price of their
help? No, they did not, and unless
