United States Senator Joseph S.
Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, called at
Republican national headquarters to
confer with Will. H Hays on the New
Jersey situation. He said it will be
an uphill fight to beat the Democrats
who elected Governor last fall, but
he was confident that the Republicans
would carry the state.

said Senator Frelinghuysen later, "but
to do it we will have to fight. The battle
is on now and will continue until the
close of the election.
"The fight in New Jersey will be
made on the League of Nations. Gov
ernor Cox has elected to fight on that
issue and New Jersey Republicans vel
come it. To my way of thinking New
Jersey will prefer a League Of Nations
in which American rights are fully pro-

Falconer Assails Salary
Grab by Tammany Hall
20 Per Cent Raise Passed by
Aldermen Rotten i'm Principle,
Declares Alderman


Alderman Bruce M. Falconer. Repub-
llcan member of the Board of Alder
men who voted against the 20 per cent
nat increase in salaries to all city
employees on the ground that it was
unjust to the small salaried employees,
issued statement yesterday in which
he declared the method of distributing
the $5,000,000 pay raise was the "most
outrageous salary grab which had oc-
ence in city affairs. He criticized his
Republican associates in the board for
not fighting the issue to a finish and
holding up the appropriation until it
could be equitably distributed.
1T is burning shame to allow the
highly paid city employees receiving
from $4,000 to $4,000 "a year to re-
ceive further increase at the rate
of 20 per cent" said Alderman Fall
coner, when the poorly paid, struggling
employees receiving only between $500
and $4,000 year are having the hard
est kind of a. time to put up brave
fight against the abnormal conditions
in which they find themselves, due to
the high cost of living.
THE unjust basis for this distribu-
tion of more than 100000 is so grave
and pronounced that / personally
should have been willing to have sat
with the Board of Aldermen in session
good while longer and to have fought
a finish fight with the Tammany Hall
plunderers on that principle. In my
opinion, the Republicans should have
stood together and fought to the last
and voted against the rotten resolution
which was passed Tuesday, and l say
rot dxr,c hnn
in it's principle, and it will be rotten
in it's effect"

He takes issue with William G. McAdoo

primaries should be abolished, and
says the .ex-Secretary is walking back

should be nationwide Presidential
primary, he declares.
Mr.. Bryan favors centering dry

forcement law without the aid of a
dry Congress can by a two-thirds vote
impeach any wet President who by
failure to enforce the Volstead law
violates his oath of Office. 1t is, there

both candidates are wet, dry candi-
dates should be nominated by petition.

Cooks position has been that Con-

The thing to do is to elect a Senate

can impeach a President if he fails to
enforce the law. There is very little

Since the Cox landslide began they

You could have heard pin drop. So
intense was the stiffness that certain
guilty persons seemed to hear the
giug-glug of liquor secreted in upper

The inspectors went through the
process of examining baggage with ter
rible deliberation. They tarried in the
club car with James ]. Hagen and
James Geraghty chatting, until some

down under the strain.
When the inspection began, however.
1t was not the ordeal that tortured
minds had imagined. The inspectors
contented themselves with a purely
perfunctory inspection of baggage ami
didn't look in any of the hiding places
the Tammany men might have used
had they fallen for the lure of Cana
dian liquor, which costs only SIS q

All the party return in good health,
with the exception of Deputy Sheriff
