Newark, Oct. 2l.--That the affairs OF
the state under the present Repubn-
can administration are run by little
selfish hidden group and that the best
men in the party have no say in the
running OF the state government. were
charges made by former Judge VIII
liam H. Boyce. Democratic nominee
for Congress, during an address made

That this control has been built up
largely through the fact that for tho
past % or 80 years there has always
been some one willing to spend vast
sums of money to tempt the electorate
OF the state and that one block OF
votes making up about one-third or
the Republican party IN the state (the
Negro vote) always votes solidly as a
Eock. were other arguments used by
Judge Boyce in contending that the
time has arrived for n change for the
benefit Of the people of the state.

Affairs was also charged by Thomas
F. Bayard. nominee for United States
Senator. who was also a speaker. He

ing conducted by an invisible govern

can do nothing until he first runs to
those who run him. and asks their
consent.

du Pont Is holding up the boulevard
built by him at a cost OF S4.OOO.0oO
