Political Issues
Republican Views
Women Take Interest and More
in Attendance Than Ever

Inc announcement mat former GOV-
ernor Edward C. Stokes was to speak
in the Y auditorium last Friday night
and did not appear was a disappoint-
ment to those who have heard him.
He is a polished campaign orator and
a South Jersey favorite son who
should be in the U. S. Senate. Senator
Collins B. Allen was not present as
advertised.
There was a fair attendance of men
and several ome The Dye Works
band furnished fine music. John M.
Weldon was chairman and made a few
remarks on the campaign issues. He
introduced Rev. C. B. Dubell, who told
of patriotic zeal during the World
War and closed with a plea for loyalty
to the home, country and to God.
Alfred K. Brandriff, candidate for
the nomination for Sheriff, said he had
endeavored to serve the people as
Chosen Freebooter to the best of his
ability and would endeavor to do the
same if the people wanted him for
Sheriff. sasS
Samuel J. Randall, Jr., of Philadel-
phia, was introduced as the orator of
the evening. He began by claiming
big Republican majorities of 100000
in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. He
said he had been a Democrat but was
opposed to Wilson's autocracy. A mar
should not be bigger than his party
and his country. He claimed the
League of Nations was a one-man ere
alton and there was only n con-
structive clause in the document. The
United States is a league of nations
and big enough to defy all others.
When President Wilson, went to
Europe people looked on him as a
super being, the greatest of men. Mr.
Randall called it absolute egotism. No
man should be greater than his party,
nor his country. Some claim him the
Saviour of humanity. This country
should not interfere in other countries.
Washington and jefferson warned
against foreign alliances and entangle-
ments lin 1797). Candidate Harding
is against foreign entanglements.
Mr.. Randall blamed President Will
son for the high price of sugar. He
should have bought the Cuban crop at
6 cents a pound. He did not and sugar
growers in Louisiana got a higher
price.
Wilson should have declared war
when the Germans sank the Lusi-
tania. He claimed that wisconsin IS
the greatest menace to the country. II
you think it is good let it continue. He
did not believe it a
Mr.. Randall congratulated the wo-
men on being allowed to vote. In his
opinion they should have had 1T nifty
wears ago. Have your own opinions
and cast your ballot as great thinking
citizens.
Assemblyman VIM. M. Stiles who
is a candidate for reelection made the
most timely and best speech of the
evening on principles and to the point.
He said it was announced that Il MIL
lion persons attended the picture
shows and theatres. The proprletofs
have united to carry on a propaganda
to have the theatres and shows open
on Sunday. Concentrating the
Sabbath finally meant the loss OF a
davis rest in seven to the working
man. The problem of getting money
to maintain the State good a vas
a growing problem for the Legislature
to solve. He was for maintaining tne
Sabbath and for good roads, u some
body will have to pay more to keep
them in condition. q.
