date for the United States senate
OF nearly six years I have served "A!
q senator. During tina time i have
tseue my best for the state of New
gersey. l seek another term and re-
Iast your support.
Tho substantial difference be-
tween me and my opponent may lie
BRIEFLY stated:
He says he would vote to Dust
AR. Newberry, of Michigan, from
he United States senate and that 1
did not. 1t is true that | did not.
Much money was spent in Michigan.
The people OF Michigan knew it.
They elected Mr.. Newberry. There
was no proof that money was spent
corruptly. The supreme our de-
cided in his favor. Only this week
at the primaries in Michigan. Mr..
Townsend who supported Mr.. New
berry was again re-nominated. Ihe
people of Michigan have therefore
plainly shown their will. They sent
Mr.. Newberry to the senate. He is
their choice and [ decline to Say
mat their choice should not be re-
spected.
MY opponent has never favored
a protective tariff. He has beer a
Democratic free trader. New Jersey
is an industrial state. | believe IN a
protective tariff. Working men in
Germany are now actually receiving
less than one-tenth what is paid
working men in New Jersey. Allow
their product to enter free and
many Of our New Jersey mills and
factories would be forced to close;
they could not stand the competi-
ton. I believe in keeping men at
work and l believe in such a tariff
as will protect them from the COM
petition Of the under-paid working
men OF Europe.
my opponent charges that ]
voted to reduce the income tax on
large incomes. L did. Reductions
were favored by all who wished to
fncI ease business and to provide
more work. 1t was found that when
60 per cent. of the profits which a
capitalist might make were taken
In taxes, he would not risk his
money in business, but preferred to
buy state and city bonds. the m
come on which is free from taxes. l
favored extension of business; l ia
vcred more employment. hence L
tried, as did congress, to encourage
capital to invest in business and to
provide more work.
Wy OppOlClit says TIA ho "puiN |
smash all monopolles. AS a boy l
that it was very easy to de-
but very difficult to build, |
have never favored monopoly of any
kind. For two years last past, al
most daily / have been lighting the
ccal trust; not one word of encour-
agement have l ever received from
my opponent. Whatever l did or do
is wrong in his opinion, yet my views
the coal situation are now being
adopted. In a word, l
advocated pitiless publicity of all
Il, profits and operations of the
| IaI baTons. In Russia the word
smash" played an important part
the past few years. Smash
ing was tried with painful and ter
rible results. My opponent believes
in the policy of smashing. l have
worked rather than talked.
| believe in building up rather than
down and l refrain from de-
struction until / know well how new
and better buildings can take place.
my opponent declines to say
whether he will or will not abide by
tae primaries. 1 will. The primar-
les are a contest. He and L are con-
rastants. I will abide by the deci-
of the umpire, that is the vot-
ers. He declines to commit himself.
my opponent declines to state his
position on prohibition, declaring
taat il he spoke for it's enforcement
lie would offend the vets, while If
hes poke for non-enforcement he
would offend the drys. L ave made
and will make no attempt to carry
water on both shoulders on any
question. A senator must swear to
uphold the constitution. Such an
oath I took. If reelected l must
again take such oath. Blu the con
stitution the sale of intoxicating Ii
quors is prohibited. The constitu-
ton is the fundamental law of the
land. On it rests our very govern
ment. I have tried to be true to my
oath Of Office and to the constitution
and If reelected l will again be true.
my opponent favors government
ownership of the railroads. l do not.
There are now too many government
employees. What we need is less gov
erIment and less government in
business. A great number of gov
eminent employees is a real danger,
q danger that a party or a president
once in power could, through an
army OF employees, ~perpetuate that
power. AS / understand by oppon-
ent. he believes that even though
the government owns and operates
the railroads the men could still
strike. If they "a strike, then l
assume he believes that letter car
riers, policemen, firemen and even
soldiers can strike. 4 government
employee has the right any time, II
dividually. to leave his work, but If
he strikes, he strikes against the
United States. l cannot follow him
or approve his position. 1 oppose
it. The less government we ave
the better. and the fewer government
employees we have the better.
My opponent says hat / am al
ways for the interests who seek TO
profit at the expense of the people.
That charge 1 emphatically deny. My
opponents circumstances were such
that he received a college and pro-
fessional education. He became a
lawyer. / had no such advantages.
As a boy 1 had to work. L have
made no money out of politics. My
opponent, on the other hand, is a
political lawyer. He has received
fees for public work. His manager
admits that in the present campaign
his expenses are being met in part
from fees received from the Demo-
t.atic duiliiiistia tioh u oeisSy NItS'
the administration of which Mr..
hague, Democratic Boss of ew Jer-
sey, is the mayor. My opponents

II met, therefore, in part, from funds
from Democratic sources.
1.-THE difference between my OPP
ponent and myself can be very read
ily understood when our careers are
compared. From boyhood l have
worked. He has practiced law and
