BOOM FOR SENATOR MACKAY
FOR GOVERNOR IS PUSHED

JERSEY CITY, April THAT
the Republican party or New
Jersey has cause to be proud OF the
record made this winter at Trenton
was the declaration last night of Sen
ator William b. Mackay of Bergen,
leader of the Republican majority IN
the New Jersey Senate at the ban
quet given by the Hudson County
Republicans in Grand View Hall,
Jersey City Heights.
The banquet afforded Senator
Mackay the opportunity to open in
Hudson conunty his campaign for
next years Republican gubernatorial
nomination.
Speaking of the accomplishments
by the most Overwhelmingly Repub-
lican legislature eve elected in New
Jersey, Senator Mackay said:
Let me say to the Republicans
of Hudson county that this record is
one of which the Republican party
may be justly proud. L do not come
here tonight to apologize Tor tnat
record: | do not come here to oT1er
excuses; l come here tonight feeling
hat it has been an honor to be iden-
titled with a legislature that has
handled great problems and pressing
problems in a way hat Will surely
merit the approval of the people of
New Jersey. =
ION the record made at Trenton
the Republican party may safely
await the approving verdict of the
electorate OF this state on that day
when our acts shall have been
weighed in the balance and calm
judgment in rendered.
Insisting that petty politics and
lightweight appointments We're not
to be tolerated in the making of APP
pointments to the highly important
Public Utility Commission, the Re-
publican senate rejected mediocre
selections for this commission and
forced the governor to appoint in
stead men of the highest type, in
whom the people feel they may safe
ly put their trust when it to
the difficult task of fixing valuations
and fixing rates for the public util-
tiles of this state.
II al against a %ten-cent trolley
fare. The Republican party is against
a ten-cent fare. Having provided, all
the necessary machinery to bring
about an equitable solution of the
trolley problem, I feel the result of
the deliberations by the new Public
Utility Commission may be awaited
with perfect confidence that the ver-
diet that will be rendered when the
hearings on this rate problem are
concluded in May or June is just to
all concerned.

who tried to put 20 kids to sleep in
beds big enough for s seemed to have
had no tougher job than a house

about 500 Republicans on less than
a score of important standing COM
mittees. But it will be done with
indications that like the children of
the story book may kick and cream.
There are so many Republicans that
it is a real problem to scatter them
on where they might do the most
good. There are 1872 Democrats out
numbered three to one, but with
their committee representation re-
duced they stand a chance of bet
ter picking than the Republican side
which will frame and pass the laws.
