Isaac Bacharach, the Republican cand ndstsz for ; cQQngr ssh
the District faithfully and well for eight years He has be-
come one of the leading members of the House and is a member OF
the powerful Ways and Means Committee of that body. This Com
mittee is the most important one of the House of Representatives,
Congressman to be selected for a place on it. Congressman Bacha-
rach has been interchangeable in his efforts to secure meritorious
legislation for his District. He is constantly on the alert and sell
dom absent from his seat when Congress is in session. Like Sena-
Harding, by whom he is frequently consulted on legislative mat
ters. Let's give Bacharach a big vote next Tuesday, and show
is rendering.
tator, William A. Blair and Joseph A. Corio for Assembly, and Al
bert C. Abbott for Surrogate, are all men tried in these positions,
deserving of the undivided support of all welthinking people.
The City candidates, for the most part young men, are well
qualified to look after the interests of the City, and should receive
the support that is Justly due them.
There are, in addition to the candidates to be voted for, three
propositions submitted for the approval or rejection Of the voters:
The first provides for a 100000 bond issue to cover the ne cost OF
of opinion as to the merits of this measure. There are sound ar

The third proposition submitted to the voters on the local
ballot is one that provides a salary for the councilmen; This is a

tlme that is consumed o. tnese PUBIC servants surrey deserves n
bered that a Councilmans duties extend beyond the Council cham
bers. He is not alone compelled to attend the sessions of Council,
but his Committee work if he is at all active, which most Of them
are, requires much Of his time and attention. Surely the laborer
is worthy of his hire, and we believe that it is little enough to
compensate these men to the extent of $500 each per annun.
in all Commission governed cities the Commissioners are paid
much larger salaries, and several municipalities are now paying
their Councilmen. We feel that this is but just, and therefore
urge the support Of our readers on this question. Vote Yes on
the Councimen's salary proposition.
And, finally, we would impress upon you the necessity of vot-
ing next Tuesday. You may be strongly in favor of the election
of Runyon, Frelinghuysen, Bacharach, and the balance of the Re
DuhicaO ticket Int remember that the "StaV-at-hOmp" vote counts
for naught in the ballot-boX. Go to the polls next Tuesday and
cast your ballot for one of the best tickets ever placed in the field
by any party. Vote the straight Republican ticket.
