IN WOODBRIDGE
Challenge to Republicans Is
sued by Democrats Last

A challenge for an open debate
on the present financial condition
CT the township and why the Re-
publican candidates should seek
election, was issued by the Demo-
Gratis in attendance at the rally

bents, saying that they had been in

committeeman, dwelt upon the
high tax rate of the township,
Fords paying the highest rate in the
township and county. The speaker
ma!elained that he was not a pro-
fessinoal politician and was not de-
pendent upon the taxpayers for a
living since he Is a lawyer.
Eli w. Christie, candidate for
mentioned
the ~deplorable financial condition
of the township and saw no reason
why Fords should not know the cost
of the improvements made during
the past two years.
Klemmer Kaltheissen, assembly
candidate. spoke of the excellent
progress of the Democratic party
in the other end of the county and
merely asked the voters of the
Fords for their support in the COM
ing campaign.
