PUBLIC
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

Once again 1 hope you will allow
me the privilege of a few inches OF
your valuable paper. There ome
a time in the lives of all public men,
when they either make themselves
more famous or make some fatal
mistake that results in their down.
fall. From appearances at this time
it seems that Bernard M. Cannon
has made that fatal mistake.
In his unjust attack on Governor
Edward I. Edwards, Cannon has lett
no stone unturned to picture the row.
ernor in the worst light possible II
lower him In the eyes of the great
voting public. Instead of doing this
from my opinion and judgment, Can
non has shown himself a poor sport
and a poor loser. It's all very well
cor Cannon to explode as he has but
in doing so he shows a personal
pique in which no n will be inter-
ested but himself. He contributes
nothing to an intelligent discussion
Of contemporary politics with the
ranks of his party, nor will his opin-
ion affect in the least the destiny OF
Whomever is nominated for senator.
Mr.. Cannon would do well to read
WAs$ Senator canyon said when ad-
dressing the Atlantic County Repub-
licans on February IS. He stated he
was an organization man, but as such
the organization must in the event of
his. Runyon's, nomination and cleo
ton. submit for the offices to be fill
ed, men thoroughly competent who
will reflect credit upon the party as
we'll as the executive who names
them.
Barney wanted to be the whole hog
or none and when he found that he
could no have all his feet in the
patronage trough he got sore and
in order to get even turned against
Governor Edwards. If Middlesex
county had been forgotten in>the
handing out of patronage it would
be another matter and there would
be a reason for Gannon's statement,
but Middlesex county seems to have
been well taken care of n as far as
the appointments go, to which Gan
non referred, they seem to have
pleased the most people and n
wonders if the county would have
been better off if Gannon's choice
for the various offices had been Sc
lected.
Middlesex surely was not forgot
ten by Governor Edwards when the
state police was chosen for six OF
these men; w. Coughlin and w.
O'Neil from Perth Amboy, and Dunn
and Kelly from South Amboy, and
| NJ. j. Dillon and E. Fuchs, of Dun
ellen, are residents of this county.
In view of the fact that Middlesex
| gave Governor Edwards a much low
er vote than Cannon, n wonders
why Edwards gave Middlesex all
that he did.
Barney seems to take delight in
| throwing a couple of handfuls of his
mud at Former Senator Thomas
Brown. What room has Cannon to
do this? Never had Middlesex a sem
I who has lone so much for the
county as Brown. Let us go back
over what Brown accomplished dur
ing his one term of office. He sue
ceeded in having the state take over
the county bridge between this city
and South Amboy. 1t was through
Senator Brown hat the new cera-
mics building is being built at Rut-
gers College and many other bene-
fits toe numerous to mention. were
accomplished during Senator
Browns administration.
1t might be well for Barney to
learn the old saying: There is so
much bad in the best of us and so
much good in the worst of us that it
hardly behooves any of us to talk
about the rest of u.s."
In fact the whole statement can
be summed up in a few words. Gan
o is a poor loser.
Thank you.
