tration day, and on election day.
The county chairman was the first
to speak and in an inspiring talk
told the workers of their important
duties they we've to perform during
the next several weeks. He Impress
ed upon those present that they were
very fortunate this year in having
such men as those candidates on the

Mr.. Hayes then touched on the

anything unless committees get out
and work to have everyone in their

the gathering. Talking along the
same lines as the previous speaker
he told those present that there

as good or even surpass that of last
years total.
He then took the candidates for
the various offices singly and, point
ing out the calibre of the men their
ability to conduct such offices to

gathering that nowhere there could
be secured a finer ticket, while he
held that they would not all be
chosen for the respective position
unless every committeeman and wo-
man gets out a full registration on
October 16, and works earnestly on
Election Day.
The county committeeman then
told the workers of the party, that If
they encountered any difficulties
while canvassing the voters to reg

Former Judge in Letter
Against Lowering Standard
of Prohibition Enforcement

Former Judge Adrian Lyon, of
this city has sent to Edward c.
Stokes, chairman of the Republican
state committee, a letter in which
the local man protests against any
lowering of the standard of the pro-
hibition laws. Mr.. Lyon makes a
plea that the ideals of the Republi-
can party be not lowered by the
adoption of a wet" plank in the
party platform.
II cannot refrain from saying,
the letter states, that it is my opin-
ion that your advisers are demora-
lized by their defeat of last year and
bv the further fact that they have
no sound moral statesmanlike polltI-
cal program which carries approval
and commands the confidence of the
voters. They have lost their poise
and cannot recover it by running
after a program which they think
has made the opposite party success
full"
Mr.. Lyons letter which has al
ready been received by Mr.. Stokes,
follows: oo,
..Hon. Edward c. Stokes,
"Chairnan Republican State Com,
"Trenton, n. j.
my dear Governor Stokes:
II want to add my protest against
any lowering of the standard OF the
prohibition enforcement laws. L pc
lieve those who think the majority
demand it mistake the temper OF the
people of this state. Those who are
seeking it and who criticize the pres
ent lack of enforcement are those
who shout the loudest and VINO
themselves would like to see such a
change as would cater to their own
desires and to the appetites and pas
sions of the people. I have talked
with many quiet thinking people
who are impressed by the unmistak-
able benefits which have come from
