toward Washington, confident that his
trip here had gained. votes for the
Republican party.
The Republican presidential candidate
this morning visited PaSsaic- Paterson
and Jersey City in addition to dozen
or more smaller towns through which
he passed en- route
The trip was broken only for brief
stops in Paterson and Jersey City. where
he spoke few words to the crowds that
had gathered to get a glimpse of him.

candidate at every town along the way.
In Paterson a throng of people had
gathered and cheered Justify as the can
didate told them of his appreciation of
the courteous reception that had been
accorded him in New jersey.
AS he passed into the Democratic
stronghold of Hudson County, however,
the crowds dwindled away, and there
were few people along the streets of
Jersey City. At theater there, how
ever, considerable crowd had gathered
and he was given loud welcome
There were continual cheers for the
nominee as he took his place on the
stage and again as Robert Carey. for
merly judge in Jersey CITY, told the
assemblage that New Jersey must give
Herbert Hoover 100000 majority in
November" Kisses mingled with the
cheers, however. as Carey described the
Democratic candidate, Gov. Alfred E.
Smith, as man who had served Tam
many Hall for Is years.
Hopes to Win State.

briefly, telling them he did not take the
demonstration as meant for himself,
but as consideration that YOU have
for the problems now before our coun-

State would be found in the Republican
column in November.
Speeding back to Newark, the nomi-

where he met various prominent New

THE Republican party in New Jer-

they pull together We win; when they
pull apart we lose"
A plea for harmony within the Re-
publican ranks of the State to insure
success for the entire ticket was made
by former Gov. Edward G. Stokes. Mr..
