REPUBLICAN VOTERS

In order to correct the false i'm
preston created by the grossly in
accurate editorial in last weeks High
Bridge Gazette / wish to state the
facts concerning George Rollin Park
er's candidacy for State Senator.
Col. Arthur Foran has had alb
solutely nothing whatever to do with
Mr.. Parker's candidacy. He did not
ask him to run. He did not know
that he considered running. He was
not at home at the time and did not
sign the petition. The rumor that
George Rollin Parker was selected
by or will be controlled by Col.
Foran is cheap political falsehood
used to arouse opposition to Mr..
Parker among those who are polite
ally opposed to Col. Foran. That the
Gazette would give this type of pet
ty politics the dignity Of print is not
to its credit, for an investigation
would have revealed that Mr.. Park
er is wholly independent of Col.
Foran and is absolutely free from
any dictation or any promise to any
one as to his political action. Mr..
Parker opposed Col. Foran last
spring in supporting Mr.. Percival
Chrystie in the delegate fight. He

opposed Col. Foran on the prohibit
ton issue and has always supported
the Eighteenth Amendment, and
the Volstead Act.
The fact is that |, personally
sponsored George Rollin Parker's
candidacy because | see in Edgar
Wilson danger to the we'll being
of the Republican Party in Hunter
don County, and because in Mr..
Parker we have successful young
business man, alive to Hunterdon
County's needs. He is an independent
dry, protestant Republican, honest
and dependable, and capable of SER
wing the County effectively and with
distinction.
The Hunterdon Republican, last
week, expressed the opinion of the
people who have known Mr.. Will
son over period of years, when it
said HE has not appealed" would
not employ this man in the organi-
cation of my own business and
cannot conscientiously ask Repub-
lican voters to support him for
public office. My opposition to Mr..
Wilson is purely one of principle.

AN ELEVENTH HOUR
CANDIDATE


After long anxious struggle to
find candidate for State Senator
who would meet his requirements,
Col. Arthur Foran at the eleventh
hour induced George r. Parker, of
Pennington, to make a try for the
nomination. George X. Large was
Foran's first choice, but the Judge,
after changing his mind on the sub
ject several times, finally dropped
out. Owing to the bitter fight rag
ing between the Democratic factions
over their Senatorial nomination, the
prospects of electing Republican
Senator in Hunterdon County, are.
this fall, unusually bright, hence Col.
Foran's desire to have a candidate
under his control.
The Colonel, as everyone knows. is
publicly and privately an avowed
wet and out of sympathy with en-
forcement of the present laws. He
also firmly believes that he now is
and is destined to remain the big
boss of Hunterdon County. He
knows Parker and is satisfied that
he can control him. He also knows
Wilson and that he cannot control
him.
For years Edgar II Wilson has
been most enthusiastic worker in
the councils of the Republican party.
His voice has been heard at meet
ings from Lambertville to Galifon.
the calls for him have been many
and often, and he responded cheer
fully whenever possible. He has
brains, ability and honesty of pur-
pose, and when he announced his
candidacy it was with desire to
serve.
On the other hand George II
Parker has lived his life in Elem.
ington, and has taken little interest
| in anything other than his own per.
sonal affairs. By temperament ant
experience he is utterly untitled I,

trolled by unprincipled politicians.
Instead of heading the editorial

should in the interest of truth, have
been labeled "The Hunterdon Re-

that the Hunterdon Republican is
the mouth-piece Of Col. Foran, and
