Democratic Secretary of State Warns
Democratic State Boss

But the question is: Is the wet"
issue to be the big issue next fall?
Is Mayor Hague going to continue to
play a dead horse against live ones?
Two years ago when Mr.. Edwards
won the ~Governorship it was no doubt
pretty good politics. A great many
persons had just been separated from
their alcoholic beverages and they re-
scented the separation. As a matter
of popular politics it proved to be a
vote getter to go out and promise to
make New Jersey "wetter than the
Atlantic Ocean," But New Jersey is
not legally wetter than any other
State; in fact, the Van Ness law
makes its enforcement much more
drastic than almost any State in the
Union.
1t is true that New Jersey has its
full share of bootleggers and blind
tigers and hooch; but does Mayor
Hague near that he is going to cater
to this element?
When Governor Edwards won his
office the accepted idea of his policy
was that he stood for beer and light
wines with a temperate amount of
alcoholic content. If he said he in
tended to stand for bootlegging and
blind tigering he could not have won
even against a pussy-footing Repub-
lican candidate who tried to straddle
the issue.
Governor Edwards was elected, not
by the "wets" alone, but by adding
the "wets" to the regular Democratic
party. Since his election, however,
the State Legislature has enacted the
Van Ness law and has shown repeat
edly that the State is more "dry" in
sentiments than it is "wet."
If Mayor Hague is wise, he will not
go too far with his booze catering
policy. The fact that he won a Gov
ernorship for a Hudson County man
two years ago does not mean that he
can win another next year with the
same issue.
Times change and issues change
with them. The people are getting
sick and tired of the political booze
talk. There is still a considerable
element which will vote for booze, but
the bigger element will vote for the
law enforcement.
If the Democratic party wants to
win next year, or any other year in
the future, it must get real, live, in
t~elligent, constructive issues.
1t is a shame to go to the front
with booze as the issue; it is a dis
grace to go to the front with bootleg
gers and illicit joint proprietors
roofing for the Democratic party; it
is a sin that Hudson County should
be held up as the political strong
hold of rummies."
1t is time for the rank and file of
the Democratic party to stop its APP
plause of the "wet" buncombe; time
for the rank and file to stop the
Democratic party from insulting the
intelligent and decent people of the
State by offering booze as a reason
for voting for Democrats.
Mayor Hague, Governor Edwards
and a large percentage of Demo-
Gratis, prominent and not prominent,
in Hudson County, are teetotalers.
Why offer personal liberty" to a.
comparatively few rat-tags thsuout
the State when there are big, moral,
constructive issues that would marshal
more votes than the immoral issue?

tary Of State Thomas F. Martins

A metal ring as a symbol of mar
riage dates back to prehistoric times.
One of the first records of the Gus
tom is in the fourth chapter of Gene
sis, where Tubal Cain gives a "ring of
iron" to his son with which to espouse
a wife.
Nearly every ancient people used
the ring as a sign that the wearer was
married, although it was often worn
in the nostrils or around the ankle,
as well as on the finger.
It's a long cry from the rude iron
band to the fine platinum-and-diamond
wedding ring of today-hut the signi-
f"ance is the same though twenty
centuries separate the two.

FoRDsoN PRICE CUT PUBLICITY

The first announcement of the big
cut in the price of the Fordson trac-
tor was made thru Mr.. Henry Fords
radio message Thursday evening, jan
uary 26th, from our Dearborn Radio
Station to Ford dealers attending a
Fordson Tractor Industrial Show in
Cleveland, Ohio. The context of his
talk, which was very plainly heard
in Cleveland and surrounding districts,
is quoted below:
at is certainly wonderful to sit
here in my office and say a few words
of greeting to you Ford dealers of the
Cleveland territory. The radio is an
outstanding tribute to mans inven-
tive genius. They say there is
nothing new under the sun, but we
are constantly inventing new things,
every day bringing some big improve
ment over the previous days methods.
Manufacturing operations have
undergone some wonderful revolution
airy changes during the past few
years. We are all familiar with the
big improvements in transportation
methods, but the oldest industry has
been the most backward in the accep-
lance or adoption of the new and up
to-date methods of doing things, and
that is the farming industry. Being
a farmer. | am vitality interested in
all farm improvements, and with this
in mind, l have spent years of time
and millions in money in the develop
ment of the Fordson Tractor, which |
really think is one of the biggest pos
sible helps to profitable farming.
GAS a general thing, the farmers
have bettered their financial condi-
tons during the past IS months, but
the production costs of farm products
are still too close to selling prices to
allow fair margins of profits. What
the farmer must do to put his business
on a paying basis is to lower the cost
of planting, cultivating, and harvest
ing of his crops. This alone will in
crease his profits, and with this
thought in mind it has been our con-
slant aim to lower the price of the
Fordson Tractor so that every farmer
in the land could afford to own one.
1t is a pleasure, therefore, to announce
thru your Ford dealers that we have
today decided that the tractor price
should again be reduced, and in con-
sidering a reduction, naturally my
thought has been to make it possible
for the largest number of farmers to
share in the benefits to be derived
thru the use of our tractor, and con-
sequently effective on the 9th of Jan
uary, 1922, the new price of the Ford
son Tractor will be 1895, FOB Detroit.
This is a cut of $3.50 off the present
price, and while in making this big
reduction we have taken upon our
selves a gigantic task in the reduc-
ton of manufacturing costs; still that
task, in my opinion is no larger than
the farmers problem of today, and I
am glad to do my part in bringing
about a period of increased prosperity
for the farmer. Your part is to carry
this message to the farmer, thereby
enabling him to produce more with
less cost and shorter hours.
~ am glad to have had this oppor-
tunity of talking with you and you
have my best wishes"

MAKES LIFE TERM REAL

Without serious opposition the
house on Monday night passed a bill
suggested by Governor Edwards and
indorsed by Chancellor Walker and
other leading jurists of the State I'M
der which life term for murder in this
State would be a life term and not
one of a possible fifteen years, as at
present under the minimum sentence
law.
In his last message to the Legisla-
ture the Governor called attention to
the situation with respect to the pos
sibility of a first-degree murderer
getting out of Jail after having served
fifteen years, which is the minimum
for that crime under the law.

William j. Bryan says: ''The pros

worse off now than in years, and we

I have come here to day, not to

which we may forever keep alive the

and most sacred hopes of mankind
may from age to age be rekindled?
For these hopes must constantly be
~rekindled, and only those who 1--we

that can retain the life-giving a is
( the stuff of living hearts. And the
hopes of mankind cannot be kept allve

The object of democracy is to trans
mute these into the life and action of
society, the ~self-denial and ~self-sacri-
flee of heroic men and women willing
to make their lives an embodiment OF
right and service and enlightened
purpose.
The commands of democracy are as
imperative as its privileges and OPP
p%ortunities are wide and generous.
It's compulsion is upon us. 1t will be

Abraham Lincoln was President
from 1861 to 1865, during the War
between the States, by which the
Union of States was preserved and
&, 100000 black slaves were set free.
Woodrow Wilson was President
from 1913 to 1921, during the World
War, when monarchical ]autocracy
was overthrow and Democracy estab-
lished, freeing 300,000,000 white per-
sons from monarchical slavery. His
picture is in every school house in
Csech-SlOvia, the new Republic, for
merly part of Austria.
Lincoln was a mystery to the poll
ticians Of his day and for years after
wards. Wilson was a mystery to the
politicians of his day. How the Divine
mind of Providence works through
men is a mystery not comprehended
for generations after political action.
In a hundred years from now Wood
row Wilson will be the outstanding
character in the development of all
world Democracy, the same as Wash
ington is for his age and generation
and Lincoln was for his time limited
to one nation, while Wilson will be for
all nations.
