The republican | c'lngressplatforift . AS ADOPTED AT CONVENTION j Interesting Resume of Great Work by j Congreaman Gardner and the Republican Congres. We, the delegates assembled, in the Republican Congressional Convention of i the Second District of the State of New 1 Jersey, are proud of the party achievements in National and State affairs, r and promise every effort for still greater aeoompialhments for the good of - all the people. i. We aak all who believe in the policies r of President Tagt regardless of party ! affiliations to unite with thus in the sup - port of a Republican Congress, to the r end that the people's work, conducted so successfully under his administration, may be continued and extended until - all wrongs of special privilege have been corrected, and the enactment • of new laws for the protection, wise use and conservation of national resources in y aooord with the policies of President ' Taft and former President Roosevelt. We commend to the consideration of the people the splendid administration of William Taft. We point iriumphantly to the results he has already achieved in hit twenty months of office - and during a single legislative year he has accomplished more (in conformity 54 with his party platform promises) of great moment to the Nation than peril* haps any previous administration in our " history. The tariff has been revised in sccor- s'

dance with the Republican doctrine of protecting home industries and Araeri- ^ can labor. The revision did not raise ^ the rate of duty on a single article uf common consumption. The increases s made wers on luxuries and articles not ordinary use. It. was intended to afford and ' does afford only adequate protec ^ tion io the industries of the. nation, and 1 to be fair alike to consumers, laborers, c ' and producers. No tariff bill was more ! unjustly assailed It has justified the | expectations of its friends by turning - a national deficit into a surplus, while ; at the same time reducing the average ' " rate of all duties. Its maximum and ^ ' minimum rates have operated to give us r for the first time equality of opportu- ' nity with other nations in our foreign 1 trade. A court of commerce has been created j ( '■ extending into a sound and equitable ^ ^ system the vital matter of rate regu- j e lation. A tariff commission has been | ' established that tariffs may"be hereafter j scientifically laid by accurate data. The

powers of interstate commerce commis- ' s( sion have been extended, i The white alave traffic has been j, checked by a law that will well nigh j c, eradicate it. A postal savings bank j h system has been created for the better j « security of the people's savings. I ti i We commend the action of Congress j cj in the creation of a oommission to in- ( [j I vestigate the question of Employers' ! liability laws and workmen's conipen- | sation acts, and to make recommenda * tions to the President and to Congress, i p We believe that industrial accidents j a to workmen should be treated as in- j t i evitable incidents to industrial opera 1 1 tions and the compensation thereof as j c part of the costs of productions. We ' | are persuaded that the experience of I i other countries demonstrates that this t principle can be applied to our indus- i trial condition without increasing the |

burdens of industry. The Republican party through Con- i , gress and the President has shown its i progressiveness in promoting navigable i inland waterways, and in this connec- i ! tion we most earnestly commend the ac- . tion of Governor and the Legislature of r | New Jersey in supplementing these t , National Waterways improvements with t the great work which is being accomI plished on the inland waterways of our I State. 2 This convention enhorses the Govere nor and the Legislature of New Jersey g for the liberal state aid received in the g extension of good roads through the a counties of the Second Congressional d District. i We heartily endorse Mr. Gardner, efforts to secure the second class privilege to fraternal and labor puhfccations; to make prison made goods subject to y the htws of the State where sffsr.i for sals; I* prevent the patehase of seek « gee* far public use sad his serasat self III V~~ wok the Free ids at in aeeur- ^ ths ertshtmhnreat rtjwrtjavi^s

tions from 20 to 100 dollars so that the c natioinal debt may be beld by the peo- y pie of small means. s In the Congress of the United States, u as in the State House of New Jersey, n the Hon John J Gardner, the repjeeeu- d tative of the Second Congressional Dis- {, trict has accomplished much for the people. His life has been spent in the mili- c tary and civil service of the- State and j a Nation, and the delegates of this con- t v en tion unanimously endorse his earnest j efforts towards obtaining legislation for t ' the benefit of laboring classes, for the j promotion of the welfare and prosperity c ' of the Nation, State and District, and , ' for his untiring and unfailing efforts to ] ■ aid the soldiers and sailors of the CSvil j ' War and their widows. We feel confi- j r dent that the welfare of this district , will be best served in his keeping, and , 1 the Nation will be better for his con- , ' tinned Bervice in the National Capital. , His record is earnestly commended to , " the people. » — POLITICAL NOTES 1 a The so called "Progressives" have no 1 r doubt noted that their agitations are re1 suiting in Democratic victories not in a "Progressive" victories, t - • • • • It would be quite interesting to know f why s rock-ribbed Democrat should fiD nance s campaign to make Republican county nominations. ^ Cape May County Republicans were lC among the first, if not the very first, to v include in Aheir county platform an en,"f dorsement of the principle of direct prir. maries for county offices.

The Newark Evening News does not " believe, evidently, that the results of * the elections in Maine are particularly I significant from a National standpoint, nor as an expression on the National is "The causes and effects of the recent t election in Maine have been widely dis ( cussed, so far as they relate to national c issuee, aud the influence of the landslide f upon elections yet to come has been t studiously calculated. 3 The effect of Maine's election on the < herself has bad little rousidera i tion, yet it may result in the overthrow | of a policy aud the end of an experi- | racnt established more than fifty years i < The excise issue figured as largely in i Maine in the recent election as insui- i | gcncy and all the other issues put toj gether. The Democrats were practical- i j ly pledged to the repeal of the Sturgis , 1 law, and the Democratic Legislature ; 5 may not only repeal that law, but re-, submit to popular vote the whole consubmit to popular rote tne wnole t

stitutional question of prohibition. t Under Governor Neal Don's forceful | aud administration Maine be- < a prohibition state. The la* may i - have been reasonably well enforced ] | hen first embodied in the State Consti i | tut ion. but as the years wore on muni- 1 i and excise officials neglected it and I . was sold freely though no drink- I i ' ing places were licensed, j Six rears ago there was an awakened | ; sentiment and the Sturgis law was j ; passed. It gave the Governor power to i ( appoint three special commissioners, and j ' these to appoint as many deputies as I they needed, to go into any city or counties where the sheriffs and the po- ' lice were not enforcing the prohibitory and enforce it. It was an attempt , to compel the people to obey their own | and it resulted in contentions and

Governor Cobb, who acted vigorously p under the Sturgis law, and who was ' t elected in 1904 by 27,000 plurality, was c - reelected in 1906 by only 7,000 plurality, j. and the Sturgis act is held to be mainly g responsible for the slump. It cost the ; : State 875,000 in four years to try to en- f : force prohibition, and through this t i same agency, along with national issues, , - it has cost the Republican party an , r overwhelming defeat in Maine. j Whether Maine will abandon prohibi- < . tion by an amendment to the constitu- , Y tion, is perhaps problematical, but this _ r is the groat issue in the state. The , t large cities might vote for it, but the , I small towns and the rural districts , would undoubtedly stand by the present , , Constitution. If the New Jersey State . authorities should send the militia or . special deputies into Atlantic City, ' Q Newark, Hudson County, Elisabeth and t any other cities, to enforce the Werts h act and the "bishops' law," something „ hike the issue in Maine would ho h premptly frtsod tore.

cent Cbngresaion al Convention as a con- a! cation of Cannoniteo, Federal officers m and undesirable citisens generaUy, the a being that it was not rep- tl resen tative of the Republicans of the n district and that the nomination was b forced. The delegates composing it wate chosen at direct primaries at which ' ] anybody could have been .a candidate, flling s proper petition signed by ten e Republican voters. In Cape May County " there was very littte if any opposition ^ ip the primaries on the Congrfosinnil delegates. If ever a Republican eooven F tioq was held in the Second Congress « District more fuUy representing tto Re- r publicans of said district, we never 1 heart of it.. Republicans should not be 1 misled by the "noise'* of newspapers, 1 which pretend to be independent, but 1 arc really Democratic, and carefully 1 avoid telling tto truth about Bepubli- " can matters. Walter M. Homan, the Republican candidate for Sheriff, is a man of strong personality, practical and virile. He J has won suoocob in business life by his own unremitting effort and has been a hard, worker in Republican ranks for many years. He is upright and honor able in hiadealinga both in business and polities and is entitled to the support of , every eitiaen who desires to see the im- , portant office of Sheriff conducted fairly and justly, serving the people's interest . and protecting them against injustice , while guaranteeing a "square deal..' He will carry the Republican bannei to suooeas with honor and should be ; given a large majority. Republicans should turn deaf ears to the specious s pies to grant the Sheriff's office to a Democrat, on the ground that it is not llJmiKiKi, uu wis s — — - -- —

a political office. If the Sheriff's office 1 is not intrinsically a political office, it ] speedily becomes one when there iB a ! Democratic incumbent. .... 3 ' The primaries are over in this county andf<be conclusions of the people have been expressed. The Republicans of May County have declared in favor of Hon. C.. S.. Hand as their nominee Assembly; Walter M. Homan, as their nominee for Sheriff, and Dr. J. Dix as their nominee for CorThe contest was perfectly fair and beyond reproach on the part the successful candidates and there was not the slightest unpleasantness developed far as we know, during the primary campaign. It is thoroughly understood by friends of the successful candidates. that loyal support would be given to the ticket, no matter which candi dates won and this is the attitude of the defeated candidates and their friends according to the information we have . received. This is as it should be. When Republicans adopt any other attitude aaopi suj umci

they do not benefit themselves, but simply plav into the hands of the Demo orotic party, which is foolish. 3T*veTy strong effort to create dissension among Republicans was made during the primaries and has been continued since, the one or two , Democratic bosses of the old school which survive, are very intent upon the election of a j i Democratic Sheriff, and realise that I there must be serious Republican dis j j sension to enable them to do it. But < the game is a failure. Republicans are I united in this county and the election i of a Democratic Sheriff is therefore im • possible. Republicans are not going to • oe fooled in this county this year. If those who are using the term 1 "Cannonism" as a bug aboo to scare peo1 pie into voting the Democratic ticket were asked to define it and to supply asaea w> ueum: ■«. — — rr--

proofs at the same time in support of 11 their definition, they would find it diffi- ® cult. Cannon's own district has shown continued confidence in him and re- ® spect for him by renominating him and if he were the bad man the capitalistic c press would have you believe hs would not be thus endorsed. The same sort 1 of noise was made against Speaker Reed few years ago, and later a Democrtic 1 of Representatives was elected, i of Georgia was made speaker, and < not only maintained all of the rules of i procedure which had been in operation i under Reed, but made them more i drastic.

absorption and encroachment. No well di seasoned Republican is going to to is caught by the chaff which is bring tl out. It is the young voter who w needs to awaken to tto facts and avoid a victiflriMd. The Domination of Wood row Wilson n for Governor by the Democratic State a Convention, oa Thursday, was generally * expected and is therefore taken as a p matter of course. When James Smith, f, Jr., and Robert Davis unite ttoynlways b have their way in tto councils of their s party, but as to whether they have i chosen wisely doubts aria*. Mr. Wilson 1 made no pledges in his speech of aooep- o and the impression is abroad that b would prove Intractible in harness in t the highly improbable etent of his eke- I tion.

truth or falaity of thia asaertion. There ' has been scarcely a time in the history of the election struggles in this county ] when there was any question about the ' accuracy and fairnesa of the count and ^ if there is any well-grounded suspicion ] ! that the results have not been fairly given in the Second Precinct of Dennis or in any other portion of the county ! every citiien will want the question oet1 tied by rigid investigation at once. It so happened that there was nobody representing Candidates Hand and Homan [ at this precinct and nobody, therefore, to " take notice of the proceedings. It it said, , however, that several more men than ' the number counted are willing to -make ' affidavit that they' voted for Hand and Homan. Elections become a farce-when a thing of this kind can to done and there is no doubt that the matter will e be thoroughly probed. * REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE NAMED n - e Senator Hand's Motion Makes Nomination of Lewis fox Governor Unanimous »

On^Senator Hand's motion tto norain- I atioiibf Vivian M.

Every lineament i I in his countenance shows him to be clean, ! t forceful man and his record before the • people is without shadow of stain, i His speech of acceptance shows him to ' - be a statesman of clear headed ideas and j a comprehensive knowledge of the is- ■ I sues. His platform pledges the Repub 1 lican party of this state to a contin- „ j nance of its advance along the lines of . political progress for the best good of t the people.

W00DR0W WILSON'S NOMINATION a The Hon. James Smith, Jr., formerly United States Senator from New Jersey and for many years chief Democratic overlord of that state, has played his strongest trump card in this year's political game in tto nomination of the president of Princeton University for the 1 : governorship, and upon the face of it is * a arrewd performance. Dr. Wilson is a man of fine scholarship, of high ideals and of unimpeachable character, who, . while presumably inheriting tto political principles of his native south, has not to— aggressively associated with in : tense partisanship. Tto supposition et , Mr. Smith and his fsUow directors of tto r Democratic party is, therefore, that to i will attract tto iiii|iaiaot veto, which . to an important taster In New Jersey i polities, a portion et tto New Mm Bs- - pah tos a rote nod tto rotes tf those

Mr. Smith back-to the United States Senate. voters will not relish tto prospect of a governor who, because of academic isolation from affairs of jS state, would be absolutely dependent J upon others for advice and direction in making his appointments to office. However pure -his character and lofty his aspirations, the suui who doss not know men and is not practically conversant with affairs suffers an almost fetal handicap in undertaking the complex j duties of the governorship of a state. i Nor will Dr. Wilson's appeal be stronger to New Ides and Prograasive elements of the two parties, which undoubtedly are powerful and probably da termining factors in the situation. He has not been asociated with the reform movements of recent years. He has not been known as an advocate of the Pro- ' gressive policies. On the contrary, he ] has been regarded as somewhat unsmypathetic toward tbem, and also toward . the interesta of labor, and to be more _ of a reactionary than a leader of pro UI a iwaiuiuqi WI«U • w pm

If this estimate does him injustice, it is at least sincere and widely prevalent and is based upon an obaervation of bis utterances and acts which has been not unfriendly aud certainly • not prejudiced or malicious. It will, we think, be a difficult task for this accomplished scholar and collegiate admims- , trotor convincingly to transmute academic abstractions Into practical statesmanship and to persuade ' either the woricingmen or Progressive and refonn- ( ing citizens of New Jersey that in his ( attitude of coldness and aloftness he lias really been an ardent and sympa- ' thetic champion of their causes. — New s York Tribune.
