In his Introductory remarks, Mr..
Wilentz said:
t There was a time when howery
!, oratorical speeches were wanted, but
= today the people want facts. In our
local newspaper editorial columns,
d We are constantly urged to try the
0 commission form of government, or
= the city manager form, but we do
e not need a new form of government.
= You need to be careful of the class
= and calibre OF men you elect"
From time to time, you hear OF
women wanting reform. The great
reform that has been forced upon us
today is prohibition. Prohibition Is
not a political question. 1t is the
: kind of reform that has brought
about present conditions. Take Sam
Cone for instance. We all know
= how he spoke in churches On the
s law and told Perth Amboy that he
I. would clean up Middlesex county,
Boosting of how he would reform,
y but now he is arrested for receiving
graft. Is that REFORM" Mr.. Wilentz
t asked.

/ 1T is distressing to know that in
-, our city, we have hundreds and hun
/. dreds of criminals, men we meet
: every day, because of this inferior
!, and obnoxious law under which so
, many have been convicted. Has
, the country suddenly turned crimi-
nal? Ask yourself" the speaker
/ said.
: Have I in my home obtained Il
quor since the Volstead act has been
enacted? 1 know how l stand, also
my relatives and friends, but il you
} have you are a criminal. Just for
tunate in not being apprehended.
Before you vote for the man who
shouts reform, reflect carefully. You
must have sufficient civic pride,
lmoral and religious consideration or
every privilege will be taken from
you
Mr.. Wilentz in concluding urged
the women to take an interest in
civic affairs and to see that the Ia
bel Of reform is not the label that
you follow"
