e coming t do ao fast. Thoodore R.v»ev.’t set the pace for Republican doctrine, and William Howard Taft. It L- my belief, la going to Insist upon tuaUitalnlng the same principles. in his speech at Milwaukee last Fri day President Taft said: -The postal soring* bunk plank In the Republican platform bound everybody wbo call* himself a Republican If they do not like a plank In a platform or If they do not l" .' e.-aae to be Republlcana Republicans with an exception." Accepting the president'* standard of Republican! «m, what kind of Republican* are those who openly oppose everr messure for which the party has declared In lt» platf**rm In this state! What sort of Republicanism Is that which 1* guilty of political treason to every plank In the platform and which exhibits Itaelf In opiawltlon upon every occasion when attempt* * re made to honestly fulfill platform promises? Do not think that the Democratic bosaea are any better. They are not. They are worse. If anything. When a question arises which the boss fraternity think mutually dangerous they forget political difference# and unite a* one man. Against conditions of which 1 • in now speaking there la no relief In sight In the Democratic party. There Is only one remedy, and that la within our party, by all loyal Republlcana striving to rid themselves of these conditions. We can do It If we try, and If we love the state we must try. . Every one of the men who are now opposing the keeping of the party faith bitterly opposed Mr. Taft's gemination fur president and was agalnat him In his flght to secure proper tariff legis-

lation.

The great fight which Governor Hughes Is making for the direct primary Is being opposed by tbs same sort of influence* that are at work hers. Tho J '. 1* agatnst every man wbo simply wUbaa to do right. Direst Primary Two argument*, both fallacious, are urged ngatnt the direct primary— first, that It la expensive; second.

In Esssa the flght for the nomination tor aenater waa sharp, but It la doubtful If either candidate or hi* friend* spent a penny In excess of what would here base ep _ _ ey*tem had prevailed.

- Polities] lewder* should stand before lb* peopn reeling upon th* euffragas of the people. With this declaration of Governor Hughes I agree. It has the right ring Every legislator must be free to exer else his own lodgment. He must be his own man and owe no allegiance to any other roaster than the people. The way to secure that la by the direct primary. We can only get that In New Jersey by overthrowing present lobby conditions «t the statehouse, by making It evident by our vo«as that we will not have a county committee chairman or any self constituted lead er rule over us and control the vote of legislators. We wont free men at Trenton. They are needed, and when sre get one who know* hi* duty and resolutely does It we should support him and send him bark. I love the party of Abraham I-lucoln and w to stay 1c U. but I do not want to It boas ridden and unresponsive to the popular will- That every boa* Is against the direct primary la plenary evidence that It Is right. Boaslsm Is the serious political problem of our time. Roosevelt tried to kill It in the nation and overthrow all the reactionaries and boeaes In the nomination of Mr. Taft. Governor Hugbea ha* a great fight on agalnat It In New York, it Is In New Jersey even worse than In New York, and we must either overthrow It or It will us 1} seems to me the rimes are out of )oint_ Why la It necessary that we should have ts-*ses In the respective countlee of the state: Why should not the people rule? Is It possible that the rest of us do not know enough to vote Intelligently unless we are told and that our representatives at Trenton and In city affairs must have a boss to tell them what they rati or cannot do? If these men would only boss once In awhile In favor of legls lation for the people It would help some, but thla they seldom do. If those who furnish them their money for election purjioses do not want the legislation proposed It Is at once condemned. These men do not hesitate to say when certain legislation Is pending relieving the people from corporate exactions, “If you pass this bUL where are we going to get our money from for political purponesY'

Money! Money! Oh, the car** of It In politics'. It la the mainstay of the political boss. It Is-absolutely necessary. In my opinion, to sp money aa Is done. The corruption of the ballot for poll Her. 1 purpose* mu be curtailed In some way. How la serious problem. A public utilities bill, reasonable and fair, would go a long way toward It, because the corporations would feel they were safe from attack under It. And they would be In a large measure. There is no more Jealous guardian of the right* of person or property than L I would not pass laws affecting a corporation slmplf because It was ‘a corporation. But I would see to It that they bad no right that an Individual did cot have and that the state controlled all I heir action* and power* absolutely. Ne honestly ms caged efir potation fear* proper regulation and supervision. . Great corporation*. Ilhe the Pennsylvania railroad and the Central Railroad of New Jersey, do not object to reasonable regulation by state action. 1 am assured by them that they find It a protection. ■ -I thoroughly believe In a reasonable public utilities bill with authority to regulate on complaint all public serving corporations. These corporations are creatures of tbs state. They hare not a single right except such aa the state glrss the nr They nuke all their money by state favor. We must — 1st th* creature be greater than creator. It Is the power of regula that 1 advocate. But they will not permit even an extension of th* Juris diction of the present railroad com mission of the stats to th* public serving corporations. There should be

And the court has also held that the county committee and all the members thereof must be electtd annually and that thla statute will modify the bylaw* of any existing committee which may have fixed a longer term than one Borne of the men objectionable a* bosses tn our state are chairmen of the local county committee*, it sc strange that a* soon aa a man geti t* chairman of a county eommlttet seems to think that be must he sponsible for everything political. Is a wrong conception of a county committee chairmanship. Neither th* county committee nor It* chairman should hare any part In selecting nominee* f-*r office, except to Issue the call for that purpose. The committee must conduct the campaign for Hie election, and Its chairman should be left In a position where, whomever U Dominated, his ImpartlaJIty will not lie questioned. HI* ^lef function should be to secure party harmony. “ ' party strife. Del the Republican ire make the nomination* without

The Importance of electing proper men to the legislature thla year cannot be overestimated. No man should be supported at theprlpiasr wbo does not openly declare wbtre be stands and whether he will stand foe fhe fulfillment of the party pledges. Any candidate wbo dues not announce his position should he defeated for nomination. The boisfe win not - only oppose nexf winter, but they Win seek to repeal existing law*.
