Without waiting for somebody to a more or for official action, which almost I invariably meant a lot of red tape, you can speak a good word, you can Lm- a piove the appearance of your premises, ' you can lend a hand when necessary, V and in a hundred other ways you ean boost your town.

REPUBLICAN S CONVENTION ig THE FOLLOWING PLATFORM 01 ty SUBMITTED FOR THE COHBIDER>f ATIOH OF VOTERS OF THE 8TATR '■ OF HEW JERSEY AT A RECENT MEETING. g ° The Republican State Convention bald tin* 28th day of September,* 1814, sawrding to law, res p*rt fully submita * to the voters of the State of New Jer- « sey the following platform for their ' ixmaiderathm. 1 This convention is mainly composed d of Candida tee tor the Senate and GemV rial Assembly and w e consider our plat1 form to be a promise to the people o I New Jersey. If the people aaeept it 1 by eiectihgjia to office, w, shall oooeider it a* an offer and acceptance according to the law of contract*, which measa a binding obligation upon ourselve* to fulfill all of our promises . 1 We condemn the record of the Democratic party in our state because it 1 has failed to keep, ha platform ooar tracts with the« people In 1813, out of twenty .three pledges they fulfilled • six, doubtfully provided for three oth1 and absolutely failed in fourteen. 1914, out of sixteen pledges they performed three, partially fulfilled two and utterly failed in eleven. During these years the Republican party Introduced legislation to Yulfill all their pledges but because of Democratic majorities were unsuccessful in having many of them enacted into laws. We that this record entities us to our offer accepted .

e New Jersey is in a serious financial '' condition. When the Republican party took over the management of the Stat* in 1894 the treasury was empty. From 1894 to 1910 the various Republican administrations so conducted the affair* of the state that they spent leu than 1 their income aad on October 31«t, 1810, there was a balance in the state treaa- " ury of over *2,100,000, with uncompleted r contracts of $500,000, leaving a fre® bal- ! ancc $1,000,000. Since 1810 the Democratic party has been in power in Jhe • state and on October 31, 1813, the state treasury showed a balance of $1,600,000, with uncompleted contracts of $1,300, 000, leaving * free balance of but $300;1 000. 1 In the Democratic platform of 1910 the Republican party was criticized because the expenses of the state had from $2,000,000 under the last i legislature to $5/100,000 in ' under sixteen successive Republican legislatures, an increase of less than $200,000 a year, while the population

r during that time increased from 1,500,000 to 2,500,000. 1 Since 1910 the Democratic party ha* > been in control of the State of New i Jersey and the expenditures of ths s State have grown from $5,000,000 to $8,000,000 or about $750,000 a year. : while the population has increased but s 300,000 in all that tiidb. In the year r 1913 under Democratic administration the state spent $700,000 more than its r inoome, while the appropriations ex- • ceeded by $457,000 the amount that was ■ in sight in the treasury. The Democratic administration in national affairs, representing a minority of the voters of this country, have kept Congress in almost continuous session . and has enacted important legislation , without due deliberation and debate, i under a caucus rule more dictatorial , than wag evef exercised in the history i of national legislation. It passed a tar. ■ iff bill that aided the "foreign producer at the expense of the American manufacturer and threw thousands of American workmen out of employment, impairing the prosperity experienced under Republican rule. It lias levied taxes languishing business to make up deficit caused by relieving importers from the payment of customs duties It has passed extravagant appropriation* in spite of the reduced earning capacity of the people, appropriations which would have been still greater but for the patri<ffic opposition of the RepubliSenators; proposes to levy a war of $100,000,000 u pop every man, woman *nd child in the land at a time when the Nation is at peace with all the world. Its low tariff haa not a* promised in any way reduced the cost of living while imposing this additional .harden. It has violated its platform pledges on the toll questions; it has lowered the standard and efficiency of our diplomatic servioe; it ha* denied Constitutional right of petition and (Continued on Pnge Six)
