FREuINGHUYSEN BUSY
man DURING CAMPAIGN

RARITAN, July 81. - United
States Senator J. Sc Frslinghuysen
has the splendid faculty of always
remembering his friends no matter
where he may meet them. An Illus
tration of this characteristic of the
senator was given only a few days
ago.
Returning from Washington to at

committee meetings which are be-

rushed up n afternoon on an ex-
press train; spoke at the meeting on
the same evening; reached his home
here shortly before two in the morn

duties in the senate.
1t was necessary to drive to Bound
Brook to take the train for Wash

senator to his chauffeur. He left che

the fence in a twinkling.
Here, JIM" he shouted, and the
man looked up a bit bewildered at
first. When he realized it was his
old friend Joe" Frelinghuysen, he
broke into a smile, and hurried
over to shake hands with the states
Senator Frelinghuysen has given
plenty of evidence of the fact that
his feet ARE on the ground" as some
of our agricultural friends remark.
In all of the big county committee
meetings at Jersey City, Newark,
Trenton, Asbury Park and Elizabeth
he has talked good sound Republican
doctrine, and there has been no eva
sion in his utterances as to his views
on n of the vexing problems Of the
day.
After every meeting he has gone
through the big crowds like the
splendid campaigner he is, and re.
newed old acquaintance and met
many men with whom he was not
heretofore acquainted The Rapub-
licans were more than pleased to find
he was such a good mixer" and
there was no limit to the favorable
comment. I

to New Jersey. arrive at home about
midnight get UP early the next morn

constituents in two or three coun-
ties, and then make a speech at q
meeting the same evening. Yet SEN
ator Frelinghuysen does all this
without apparent effort. He has an
exceptionally strong physique, 1t is
true, but he would not be able to
stand this sort of activity If it were
not for the fact that he has learned
the philosophy Of relaxing.
