with the methods resorted to in
Hudson county particularly where.
she said. men were brought in from
other counties and across the Hud-
son river to vote in the name of
dead men and other schemes along
the same line which resulted in the
election boxes being stuffed" we're
popular.
Mrs. Feickert explained in detail
to the women the why's and where
fores of voting. She told them that
to vote was not only a privilege but
a duty to ones self as well as ones
country. Every woman was urged
to register today between the hours
Of 2 and 10 o'clock and to take
with her every other woman who
had not registered. The method of
voting at the primaries and general
election was also explained in detail,
the Importance of casting her ballot
at the primary election on September
2S being emphasized.
The speaker urged the ONE to
get out every Republican vote pos
sible in order that the defeat of the
Republican candidate for governor
last year might not be repeated in
the other important contests in New
JERSEY IllS year. 1Ht HUsVUV ING-
publicans who did not take the
trouble to vote last year was re-
sponsible for Governor Edwards cleo
ton, Mrs. Feickert said, as this
number, IL they had gone to the
polls, would have been sufficient to
put Newton A. X. Bugbee in the
governorship rather than the present
Office holder.
The speaker touched briefly on
the national issues, speaking
against the League of Nations, es-
pecially Article 10 which she ex-
planned in plain words. and then
told of the state women's organiza-
ton plans. While discussing this
subject Mrs. Feickert brought out
the cost of sending literature to the
Republican voters of the state. She
estimated that between one million
and one million and a half would
vote in New Jersey this fall and
she pointed out that If only ten
cents were spent for stamps, envel-
opes and literature for each voter
this would amount to 500, 900 at
least. She said that it took about
twenty-five cents per voter to send
out the campaign literature and
this would boost the expense ac-
count up to $250,000. Thus, she
pointed out, s~150.000, 900 is not such
a great amount to carry On a cam
paign in the entire country.
Mrs. Feicllert was loudly APP
plauded by the women at the con-
clusion of her talk. She was fol-
lowed by Joseph NJ. Thompson. OF
New Egypt. the only Republican
candidate for congress present. Mr..
Thompson confined his talk to a
few minues but made a marked
impression by his forceful argu-
ments in favor Of a Republican
president, senate and congress. He
asked the women for their support
but did not go into any detail of his
own qualifications.
William G.. Wilson, candidate for
mayor; Timothy J.. Nevill. j. Fred
Orpen, and Walter c. Q~uackenbush,
candidates for freeholder; Elmer G.
Wyckoff and Charles Forman. cam
didates for sheriff. and John Sofield,
| candidate for alderman in the first
ward. were called upon to say a few
words. Mr.. Nevill, of Roosevelt.
made an assertion hat the Demo
cratic machine in that place was
even stronger than the famous
| Hudson county machine and he said
that of all of the offices-somethins
like forty-fve-not one was held by
a Republican. He asked for the firm
support of Perth Amboy Republic
cans in bucking that organization.
Allan Trimble, a speaker of state
wide renown. concluded the speaking
program. He made his talk short
but during the course of his remarks
he brought out wildly his charges
OF incompetehcy against the Demo
cratic administration.
