giving assurance of support of the
Democratic candidates tariff position
Mr.. Hughes said:
THE significant thing about the
statement is that Gov. Smith found ii
necessary to ask for assurance. You dc
not have to ask for assurance from the
Republican members of Congress that
they will support the policy of pro-
lection"
The test of an economical admins
tration, Mr.. Hughes declared, was "in
its success in meeting proper demands
without inordinate outlays."
Whatever explanation Gov. Smith
may have-and I have not found him
to be accurate and satisfactory in his
financial criticisms and explanations
the results of his administration in New
York do not recommend him as uuali-
fled to be put in charge of the financial
administration of the Federal Govern
ment."
Discussing the question of the quail
f1cations of the two candidates, Mr..
Hughes said there seemed to be ''but
little room for hesitation"
In the range of activities as COVER
nor, Gov. Smith has hardly touched the
important difficulties which he would
have to face as President. I do not
think he knows much about them"
Qualifications for our highest office
are not produced over night" he con-
cluded. II should be the last to set

pended upon to put stop to Hagueism.
| Morgan Larson has said that if he is
elected governor he will appoint prose-
cutor in Hudson County who will send
the grafters and ballot-box suffers to
| Jail and will do it."
Charge Hague Is Boss.
Mr.. Carey insists that Dig was prom
| iSed the nomination for governor by
Hague a year ago, and that it is all
poppycock to talk about Dill's being in
dependent of the Hague machine. And
so it goes in this most bitter of cam
| paigns.
The legislative committee which has
been investigating Mayor Hague and
| Hudson County generally is controlled
by a Republican, and Hudson County
| generally is controlled by a Republican
| majority, and Mayor Hague, in refusing
| to appear before it, declared that 1t had
| waited until now to question him mere
| ly to serve political purposes.
But there have been charges of large
cash transactions in Hudson County,
transactions in real estate and bank
stocks, undisclosed profits taken by
mysterious persons in the purchase Of
Split Rock Pond in Morris County for
criticism aroused by padded pay rolls
and manipulation of bus franchises, all
of which it has been the purpose of the
legislative committee to question Mr.
Hague about. Mr.. Hague'S refusal to
appear before the committee now does
not adequately answer this inquiry, it is
held
Democrats here expect Mayor Hague
to come to Newark and sit on the plat
form while Gov. Smith speaks. 1t would
be strange thing to have Hague alb
sent, they say, and his absence might
be more conspicuous than his presence.
He is not only the State Democratic
leader, but also vice chairman of the
Democratic national committee. It is
true that he has not been active around
the national headquarters in New York
during the campaign. He has been
given the job of carrying this State if
he can. But at big blowout" in Jer-
sey he would be expected to be present.
417,000 Registration Gain.
Not few complainers are heard
among Democrats that little has been
done to organize the very real sentiment
that exists for Smith here in Sussex
County. The same is true in other
counties. Lack of leadership is given
as the reason. New Jersey, like other
States, has seen very great increase
in registration this year. The increase
amounts to 417,000. No one can say
positively just which one of the candi-
dates is going to benefit most from this
increase, but Democratic leader told
me that he thought If Gov. Smith had

Democratic committee, with DR.. r. J.
Payne as chairman.
The anti-Snith Democrats are well
organized in Fredericksburg, although
not so well in the county outside. They
have an anti-Smith club in this city,
and there is also a Hoover Curtis club,
headed by Julian j. Garner, a Republi-
can, most Of whose officers, however,
and scores of whose members, are
Democrats. This club is the point of
contact between the Hoover Democrats
and the Republicans and is knitting
them closely together in their common
cause-to defeat, if possible the nomi-
nee Of the Democratic party for Presi-
dent. The vice president of this Hoo
ver-Curtis club is Frank G.. Jones, a
Democrat.
The Republican city committee Of
Fredericksburg Is working for Hoover
Independently of the other Hoover or
ganizations. It is composed of the old
line Republicans of this city, and its
chairman is F, L. w. Green, a lorg-
time Republican and member of an
old ReFNblican family.
"Ed.gion and Liquor" Issues.
Religion and liquor are the prin-
cipal issues in the campaign here" said
pro-Smith Democrat to The Star,
with religion in reality generating the
whole anti-Smith movement"
The contest has become so intense
in Fredericksburg that, in addition to
the regular Democratic city committee,
there has been organized Smith Rob-
lnson Club, of which DIR. j. N. Barney
is president. It has been very active
obtaining a list Of Signed-up members,
and the number has reached $50, ac-
cording to information given by one in
a position to know.

Senator, who is veteran campaigner.
has done much Of the work Of orgariz-
ing the Smith Democrats here. The
city committee of the regular Demo-
Gratis, and the committee of the oppo-
Sition, seem to have been STRENGTHENED
by sufficient funds for carrying on their
work.
The situation in Fredericksburg Is
much better from a Democratic stand
point than in many other places. The
ku Klux Klan is not strong here. Gov.
Byrd, however, has not been as popu-
lar here as in some other parts CT the
State. This city gave Mapp, his oppo-
nent, heavy majority III the guberna-
torial primary, and the first congress
s1onal district as whole also voted
for Byrd's opponent.
In Spotsylvania County, outside of
this city, the people do not seem to be
so much interested in the religious issue
as the town folks Farm relief is one
of their favorite subjects. Considerable
difference of opinion exists with regard
to the McNary- -Haugen bill and the
promises of the rival presidential can
didates to solve this problem imme-
diately after the new administration
begins in Washington
Certain portions of Spotsylvania
County are fertile and produce good
crops. Large portions of it consist of
poor land which is grown up for the
most part in small oaks, pines and other
scrub" trees. The Star correspondent,

of Smiths wet views, and-more i'm
portant than all in swaying voters-his
religion.
The normal total vote of Fredericks-
burg for President is in the neighbor-
hood of 1900. The highest Republican
vote cast in this city heretofore-in a
total vote of only 1,O00-was 275. This
year, after careful check-up on all
voters who would express their opinions
or intentions, the best that the Smith
Democrats can count on at this time,
according to one of them, is about 100
majority, which would mean an enor-
nous Republican gain.
The Democrats who are planning to
vote for Hoover deny that such a re-
suit should be counted as "Republi-
can gain" They point to the unusual
factors in the present campaign and
declare that they are as good Democrats
as they ever have been, merely being
unable in this instance to give their
support to the regular party nominee
because he happens to stand for things
which they have fought against.
County Much the Same.
Spotsylvania County, outside of
Fredericksburg, is pretty much in the
same condition politically as this city.
The majority which the Smith adher-
ents are counting upon as sure is so
small as to be decidedly uncomfortable
any way a Smith supporter may look
at it. 1t is small enough to be easily
wiped out If things do not go exactly
as planned and here-just the same as
in other parts of the State visited by
The Star correspondent-no one knows
for certain what hundreds of man and
woman voters will actually do when
they get inside the election booths No
Vember 6.
Stafford County, which is directly
across the Rappahannock River from
this city, on the way to Washington,
usually goes Republican in presidential
elections, although it was carried by
Davis in 1924. 1t is expected by every
body to go Republican this year by
larger majority than it has ever given
a President. King George County,
corner of which touches Spotsylvania
County on the east, has sometimes gone
Republican in the past and is counted
on to give Hoover a comfortable ma
jority this year by the Hoover CAM
paign managers.
There is plenty Of organization for
the fight here. The regular or Smith
Democrats have county committee of
which John w. Kimman of Henry ls
chairman. There is a similar organi-
Zation for this city, the Fredericksburg

an even break on the voters he would
be doing remarkably well.
Mayor Hague has other troubles ia
Hudson County. The Court of Errors
and Appeals has denied an appeal from
the decision of the Supreme Court Of
the State upholding the Wolber act.
This act is the authority for striking out
names Of voters not registered legally.
The superintendents of election in Hud-
son County are intent on striking out
some of the names there, much to the
dismay of Mayor Hague
State Senator Clarence E. Case, chair
man of the legislative investigating
committee who made a considerable
reputation in the Hall-Mills murder
case, is planning to have Mayor Hague
up Tor contempt of the Legislature, be-
cause OF his refusal to come before his
committee when he was called. The
Legislature, however, is not in session
until November 10, and it will not be
possible to bring Hague before the bar
Of that tribunal until it convenes.
Whether other legal steps can be taken
against the mayor in the meantime is
uncertain
While the Democrats are putting up a
bold front for their candidates for
governor and Senator, some Of them are
of the opinion that they will lose both
those offices. The senatorial race has
not attracted a great deal of attention,
largely because of the interest ir the
presidential race and that for governor.
Senator Edwards, who promised the
voters that If he were elected before he
would make New Jersey "as wet as the
Atlantic" refers to this promise now
and then in his speeches, and then says
to his audience:
isn't it?" and the crowd usually
whoops it up.
Hamilton Kean is the Republican
nominee for the Senate, a millionaire
many times over, and a conservative
old-line Republican. He is running
along with the national ticket, though
he will probably fall short of the vote
cast for Mr.. Hoover.
One complaint among the Democrats
here is lack of funds for the campaign,
