THE MASS MEETINGS

What Four Years of Bryar Would Mean.

. The Republicans Hold a Largely Attended Gathering at Rink on Tuesday Evening, and the Democrats at Auditorium Last Friday Night

A Republican Rally and Mass Meeting was held at the Rink on Tuesday evening which was attended by about 600 persons The music was furnished by rurters' Band for the occasion. The first speaker of the evening of the evening was Rev. Dr W. S. Crowe. L. L D . of New York, wuo spoke on national issues for an hour and proved a good orator. Assemblyman Corsville E. Stille. who is candidate for re-election, was present and thanked the voters f£r his nomination, and was given / a cheer of approval by the audience. Congressman Gardner look the next hour »nH spoke of Taft ami the policies of the Republican Party He then referred to his own record, and mentioned the receiving for Cape May of 1U $1,211,000 appropriation for the Cape May Harbor approach. Hon. John J. Gardner, candidate for Congress, to succeed himself, has at last decided to take some cognizance of the things which have been said of him by E. B. Grubb, his opponent on the Democratic ticket. Mr. Grubb has been talking a good deal concerning Gardner's subserviencey to Speaker Cannon. Congressman Gardner’s friends say that the truth of the matter Is Just the opposite He has naever been a sup porter of Cannon, and only voted for his ascendancy to the Speakership after opposing candidates bad withdrawn. When Hon. Thomas Reed was Speaker of the House, he recognized Gardner's abllitly and named him to several Important committees. Gardner .had a mind that seemed to penetrate deeper into the future than any other man. and for that rtsason.Reed found in him one of the most valuable members of congress. When Reed stepped out. Janies S. Sherman of New York, wanted to he speaker, and Gardner supported him to the last minute In that fight Da-. rid Henderson was made speaker. Henderson, it will be remembered, stepped down and out and then Cannon was opposed by John Da Bell Mr. Gardner supported Dalzell and, stuck to him until Dai bell, upon the advice of the Pennsyjvania deiegatloA withdrew That left the field to Cannon. and naturally, be received all the voces. At present there is no contest. and Mr. Grubb need not worry I what Mr. Gardner will do in the fu-l lure. He may not yet know that Mr. Cannon is a Candida'* for reelection thi« year, and if anything should happen that be should not be re-elected Mr, Gardner would not have a chance to rote for such a ••terrible monster.’' even though he bad a great desire In that direction. In dlscuaslng Mr. Grubb's attacks upon him, Mr. Gardner said! '‘The same gang that is carping now, said I did not know enough to get under the right umbrella when I was opposing Cannon as Speaker. "The whole scheme- of CgubW and his gang is so transparent Omt a child can see through. They hope by making these attacks upon ger me to such a degree that might make me say something that could be construed a- inimical to the Administration, and thereby make my stay In the House during the coming two years unpleasant, for I am going

”Tbe men who are running Grubb and his campaign for him are the very men whom he tried to place, in State Prison, nineteen years ago. and one of the principal reasons for their taking np Orobb was their belief In s possibility of being able to moke roads npon my usual plurality and make It appear I was not wanted any more-" Joseph W. Sains, of Atlantic City waa the last speaker. Ho set forth the record of Congressman Gardner i and CltiI Grubb. Congreosman Gardner's opponent.

General E. Burd Grubb, Democratic candidate for Congress, raised the issue of Cannonism in a mass meetin in the Auditorium last Friday night at the close of a day’s campaigning In Congressman Gardner’s stronghold of Cape May. Declaring that the antagonistic attitude of Speaker Cannon toward all great progressive reform meosurea.an his alighnment with the trusts, had raised quite as great a wave of public wrath in the east as It had In the West, General Grubb challenged Gardner to say whether or not he would rote for Cannon for Speaker in case of the re-election of both Con-

gressmen.

"Congressman Gardner” General Grubb said, "has been the . tool of the railroads since he entered pobHc life at Washington. His record la the confirmation. Look at his opposition to the reform measures demanded for the benefit of the people by President Roosevelt. Look at his blows at the workingman.’' General Grubb asserted that Speaker Cannon had put Gardner astride the lid of a committee to smother the eight hour labor bill, and that so well had Gardner succeeded that corporeUona and Interesta opposed to the workingman would do their utmost financially to re-elect "their tool

Gardner.

About 400 voters In Cape May were crowded into the Auditorium to hear General Grubb and the other speak “Give us a dean gorernment from the White Houae to the Council Cham her." the keynote of the speech of Attorney A. H. Coggins, of Philadelphia, has been made the slogan of Democratic campaign in Cape May City. Cleon politics Is dearly the is sue In the Coundlmatic campaign he said, and the combination of the better element In both porties.put good men in office Indicates a victory for the Democratic candidates. Adam Suelke and John F. Jacoby, prominent Philadelphia business men, and William B. Gilbert. Suelke waa de tested for the Joint nomination on the Republican ticket by a narrow

majority.

The Cape May County Democratic Cluj has entered The campaign with an enthusiasm new to the present generation. The officers of this which bad the honor of raising the first Bryan and Kem banner in New Jersey are: Pteeldect, Joseph P.Heu ry, and secretary and treasurer, John

Roosevelt four years ago. In the Presidential election of 1900 Mr. McKinley polled 221,707 votes in New Jersey, while In 1904 Mr. Roose veil polled 245.164 votes, hr. Bryan in 1*00 poUed 164,808 votes, while Mr. Parker In 1904 polled 164.666. showing that Mr. Bryan was stronger in 1900 than Mr. Parker was In 1904. and everybody concedes that Bryan Is considerably stronger this year than he was eight years ago. So that, although a considerable number of Dem ocrat* distrust and will vote against him, be will largely cut down the big majority received Ey Mr. Roosevelt in 1»04. But Mr. Taft Is regarded by the Republicans as a perfectly satisfactory candidate. In whose sound principles and good Judgement the people have confidence, and the leaders say that be will have the united support of hi* party. In addition to this be will hare the support of anti-Bry-an Democrats. They point to the fact th&t lost year, when the Democrats were thoroughly untied and enthusiastic in support of their matchless candidate for Governor. Francis SKotsenboch. Jr., they fell short more than eight thousand votee of electing their man. This year, they sdd.ua party Is neither united nor enthusias- 1 tic.

the counties that elect State Senators this year, in Somerset, Joseph S. Frelingbuyscn. »he sorved one term, faces a serious and doubtful altuatioa. The main 1mu<- in bis fight la the local option question. The Democratic candidate. Colonel Nelson Y. Uungan, has come out flatfooti-d for local option, while Mr. Ftellaghuyaen is non committal, and the anti-saloon element Is making an open n M aggressive fight tor Dungan. At the i time, the league supporta William W. Smalley, the Republican canlate for the Assembly, because he for local option. This a bad mlxup. and Colonel FYellnghuysen’s friends feel doubtful of the result There Is some trouble In Monmouth where "Otlle” Brown, who has ser:d two terms of three years, and Is candidate for re-election. Is opposed by Rudolph V. Lawrence, regarded as a particularly strong man. The best Informed politicians however, believe that Mr. Brown will pull through, although Monmouth went Democratic last year by 1378, and many of the old time politicians believed that the county had returned to her ancient political moorings. In Salem county William Plummer. Jr., the Republican candidate will probably be defeated, as there Is a serious spilt in the party. Johnson.the Democratic candidate. Is popular, and the county Is close, anyway. Gloucester is in about the same condidion. There was a fierce republican factional fight in this county, which has by no means healed, and the Republicans fear that their candidate. Gaunt.will be defeated by Joseph R. Newton.Doc ocrat. If the Democrats carry all thee counties they will elect five out of the eight Senators to be chosen, as they are certain to win in Warren.
