Ocean City Democrats, were out In strong force on Tuesday moming. waiting the arrival of Gover- : -r Edwards, and Circuit Court •Judge George E. Silzer, into this -vtion of the constituency they .'.-veil to represent and serve. . publicans . were present of ci.pse, of the dyed-in-tbe-woo! vuri.'iy, eager to learn what the i y -.tion could advance in favor of their candidature; but the day really belonged to the Demon; and the stage ,to their respective nominees for office. The visit to Ocean City came about, as a part of i(n extensive campaigning itinerary, the Coven. or and hi* company are coirk acting, in much .the same manner! . did the Republican candidates/ a few weeks ago. As in the former instance, the ; p., -ting was held in front of the City Hall, the candidates addres- • sing the auiiiencc from the -steps, i Oily Commissioner W. H. Camp- i • •ell acted as master of ceremonies, t Bj reason of the fnct, that the i party ha<l been delayed ovqr an : hour beyond the scheduled time, I Mr, Campbell's opening remarks | were brief, but aptly chosen and -ignificant. In introducing the . fir t speaker. Judge George E. i Silzer, the chairman referred to t him as a gentleman who had dem- i ■n-trated his mental attainments, i and service to the State and i nation, in many eapaiities and various offices. * Judge Silzer announced as the 1 first plank in his campaign plat- I form .that he was opposed to the k proposed $40,000,000 bond issue. He assured his hearers, that, he I desired as ardently as any person, * lhat the state1 highways should be K of the best; but he would not be a party to burdening tlie State t under taxation .that would incvita- c My cripple it beyond all hope, ii Judge Selzer did not believe in a mortgaging the. future, he ileclar- ii _ c.i. Pay as we go, was his prin- s r-''~ciple, which in the end was best and highest quality of economy, a He predicted that if the State in- n curred much heavier indebtedness,, a the only alternative and resource, | o

it would be a State income tax. ! Referring to the question ofj open specifications, which the Re •t publican candidates, Judge Silzer! : s declared, had made one of the " v chief issues, of the present cam- i paign, he favored the proposal as ; truly and as sincerely as they did. I As a matter of fact, he challenged > and questioned their sincerity, he | -tj.Vd. He detiied that there had 1 licen one yard of warrenite lain , i down in Huilson County, during ( the ten vears Mavor Flank Harm ) of Jersey City, had 'been prominent in th; politics of the county.!; p He reminded .the audience, that j | there had lieen more warrenite i] ?l..id in Atlantic an.i Lumh.-ibmn ; | Counties than any others in the!, State of New Jersey, during which ! t lime both counties, hail been under; v ' -Republitan administration. If. » Senator Kunyon favored open spec- - ficutions so strongly, he asked, , - « hy hail he not made some effort . • to rescue fro mthe committee j • the two bills which Sen- , . a tors Parry and Roberts . hud In- v ; troduced, which hail been specific' i ally drafted for the purpose of de- j , livering the counties from patent | • paving tyranny and graft. ^ I Upon the question of prohibition • Judge Silzer was equally' as em- . photic and frank. He .lid not 'J i believe the present situation was ■ at all desirable. In fact there was , no prohibition under the prevailing I regime, he declared. I "As long as grapes grow on vines, and apples grow on trees. C , and as long as God permits the '' of fermentation, liquor 1 , will be made," a"k Judgg^ffTTzer. '' "We nre willing to give the cj prohibitionists credit for their l' sincerity," he declared. "Let them '' grant u sthe.same concession." u Judge Silzer_ advocated educa- * tion rather than prohibition. More a could be accomplished, by, teacha person it was harmful to do certain thing, than by ar^gat- hi unto ourselves, the right to say he should not do it. tl Governor Edwards followed with P trenchman speech, whom Chair- a man Campbell introduced to the oi audience as "The great exponent ; of the people's rights." , ri

"My platform," said Governor [ ; Edwards, "is one without political : chicancery, deceit, cant or hypoc- ! ricy." He expressed himself an ! inveterate tfheiny to Newberryism, High Tariff, which he prefered t» ! name, "The Gpuge Law,'' and the > : Republican Party's attempt to ' saddle the country, with greater ■ burdens of taxation. j Governor Edward however, eon- ^ 1 finefl himself mainly, as evidently ; was expected, judging from some I applause and laughter among the | audience, to the question of prohibitlon. ! U pon this (|ue.stion the Governor fjleft none in doubt. "1 shall tell - you plainly where 1 stand." he r ' said, "whether you like it or not. s ! I yield to no man. in my admira- ■ tion for a real honest-tn-gnodness < ! prohibitionist, but I have nothing . loathing and contempt for the I who* is politically dry, ! privately wet." I 1 am in favor of the manufaci of light wines and beer under [ federal control and supervision, declared. "They brand me' as a nullificu- . I tinnigt. They say "Look out for Edwards, he's a dangerous man.' '! I am denounced as a "booze hound," look me in the face. Take 'a good look at 'me .then look at ■ the face of my opponent, and say i who is the "booze hound." ' Governor Edwards then read .. newspaper cutting, which stated that every American ship, in order get passengers .was compelled j to advertise on their literature, that "wines, liquors and cigar.-," we» served at meals. "Where do they get them"" the Governor enquired. "Can it possible that UncJe Sam has turned bootlegger? They say we are polling back to normalrv. Oh yes we are getting back. The rich get the liquor, and the poor got the licking." Apart from any other consiilerstion. Governor Edwards, declared he was opposed to prohibition, be\t constituted nothing'moie or less than a piece of class legislation, a thing diametrically nir posed to the fundamental prinof, the American Constitution. If it were wrong for th" to got a glass of beer or liqthe Governor said, then it was for the rich man to keep cellar stocked to the roof with I the choicest of brands. Governor Edwards concluded his fiery speech with an appeal ; for the support of the audience to ( Democratic candidates, and ( paid high tribute to Judge Silzer. ( as his successor in the gubnatori&l office. Charles S. Stevens, the I)emoi rrat candidate for the House of 1

ir Representative-, and the opponent " ll of Isaac Bacharaeb. followed Gov- I c- einor Edwards, with a brief ad- I n dre.-s^"* Addressing himself to his I a. audience as the people of Cape I " May County, Mr. Stevens declared I ie that their needs and interest I 0 were identical, for he had been a I !r property owner, ^taxpayer, and a I in Cup" May Coun- j ty for upward- of twenty years.
