NJ The Nestos adm inis stration has just
published Sa report which gives the
financial condition Of the state on De-
cember 31st, 1921. s55 ii. q: 81 &
I: eaIn thesfact Of the astounding rev
elations of this report, the Nestos ad-
ministration still insists on carrying
out the nonpartisan Industrial pro-
gram, although Nestos says in his in
augural address, that he. does not be-
ieve in it. Let us put it this way if
the nonpartisan group of candidates
are pledged to support the ronparti-
san state Industrial program and say.
they believe in it and are glad to car
.ry it out and the I. v. A. group Of
candidates are pledged to support the
Nonpartisan state industrial program
and say they do not believe in it, and
are sorry to carry 1T out, for which
group should the elector, who believes
in this program, vote? He should ne
cessarily have to vote for the nonpar-
tisan group. For whom would the
elector who does not believe in the
nonpartisan state industrial program
vote? He could not vote for either
group, and the irresistible logic of the
situation, in the last analysis, was to
call into being the Stegner group of
candidates. This. group is pledged to
clean the slate and save, the state.
ia We have just had grand jury to
indict the nonpartisan Socialists, and,
should the nonpartisans win out in
the coming election, / have no doubt
that they will, in turn, call grand
jury to indict the ]. " A.. Socialists;
and well might they do so. Look at
them! What a sorry spectacle. There
they stand on a ticket, gotten togeth-
er part and parcel openly and motor
iously, by a criminal conspiracy in
plain violation and utter contempt for
the election laws. }=z1 }=si :. ~ &

his letter he asks that a United
