THREE LETTERS OF INTEREST

prosecutor Booraem sent an open letter to Sheriff Quackenboss. Sheriff Quackenboss replies,- and then gets another letter from Booraem. All three letters are published herewith in eeqnence, from which our readers may onclude that it will be hard this year for a man to sell his vote to either the -Republican or Democratic politician.Hon. William H. Quackenboss, Sheriff

Middlesex County.,My Dear Sheriff—“-You will remember

our conversation that I had with, you some time ago in regard to the crime o f bribery, which is believed to be prevalent in this county. Following some o f the suggestions then made, I would like to have a personal "confer­ence with you, in order that we may adopt means and methods whereby this crime can be prevented and pun­ished in Middlesex county. It is my duty as public prosecutor to take all steps that are lawful in order o de­tect and punish crime, and you will of. course realize hat it is your duty, as chief conservator of the peace of the county, to assist and co-operate with my office in this matter. I believe that public sentiment is thoroughly arous­ed on the subject, and Will justify rad­ical means on the, part o f your office and mine, I think Joint cd-operation will also gfYe more* satisfaction, ow­ing to the fact that we belong to dif­ferent political parties.

Very truly yours,THEODORE B. BORAEM.

New Brunswick, October 18. Hon. Theodore B. Booraem, Proeecu- , tor o f the' Pleas,' Middlesex County.

My dear Mr. Prosecutor—Your letter to me, which appeared in the newspa­pers before I received it, has at lost arrived.

When I first ran for sheriff I ran on an anti-bribery platfo^ft^tf'he next year the Young Men’s™Bfemocratic Club took up the fight vigorously, and

SUDDEN DEATH.

The community was greatly shocked on Wednesday by the news of the sud­den death of Mr. Dewitt E- Rogers, which occurred early that morning while Mr. Rogers was in Newark.

Mr. Rogers had gone to Newarli^n Tuesday afternoon and missing / Jhe late train home concluded to remain over night. He was round dead the next morning, presumably, from an at­tack of heart failure resulting from escaping. coal gas. The body was brought to hi* Metuchen homo Thun-

CORRESPONDENCEDear Sir—While the nomination for

the office of younty clerk came to me unsolicited and while I have consent­ed to run, unhampered by any pledges o f any nature whatsoever, I, in seek­ing this high honor, ask the privilege o f briefly stating, to you directly, my position with regard to the office.

It is my firm conviction that the office of county clerk should be admin­istered without the slightest sem­blance of any political proclivities on the part of its official head and with­out any consideration for the, dictates or desires of any political "boss.” Ib is distinctly an office wherein politics should not enter and I promise that, if I am honored with the*choice of the voters at the coming election, it shall be my sole aim tp conduct its affairs in a clean and businesslike way, with equal- courtesy to all citizens and a desire to facilitate their business’ to the fullest extent o f my power.

I will also continue in force the very excellent system of records in­augurated/by Mr. Copger and will make’ a special effort to take advan­tage of all new' Improvements in this regard that time and experience may develop and w'hich will tend to In­crease the facilities of the office, at the same time lessening the expense to the citizen. A high standard of ef­ficiency in the office force will assur­edly be maintained.

As to my qualifications for the ol- flee, I prefer to leave that subject to1 those who know my life and business career most intimately. 1 1 cannot but feel, however, with all due modesty, that my record In handling the ter­minal offices of the fT. P. Express Co., and the Rapid Transit It. ii..,,at Perth Amboy, w'ith a Joint business amount­ing to $125,000 a year, gives rpe the right to fel confident o f my ability to handle the people’s business with sat­isfaction to them.

During the last two years the city of Perth Amboy In its large growth and development, necessarily expend­ed through its council, of which I am a member of the majority, many thou­sands o f dollars in public improve­ments and I feel that I can also point with justifiable pride to the fact (hat in all the large expenditures so made the city received full return for every dollar and there has not, nor can there be, the faintest breath of sus­picion of dishonesty or “ graft” in any form in carrying out these improve­ments. 1 !«

1 therefore feel that I can consis­tently and honorably ask every citi­zen, irrespective of their politics, for their support on November S gext, and

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATESThe candidates for Freeholder on

the Democratic ticket have announced the following platform on which they solicit the voters to entrust them with the management of the business of Middlesex county:

THE PLATFORM.1. We believe that a decided reduc-

lion' should be made In the running expenses of the county. An Increase of $46,000 this year over last is not the kind of economy we advocate.

We believe that the economical administration of the county affairs means getting full value for every dollar expended and abolishing useless Inspectors and supervisors.

We believe in building new stone roads as rapidly as financial condi­tions may warrant ahd not until then.

We do not, however, believe in building new roads at thb expense of the old ones. Let un keep what we have’ jn good repair and not let them run down Until they have to be rebuilt at enormous expense.

We shall insist that all public service corporations live up to the let­ter of their contracts? That they shall' do theiy share of paving and road re­pairing and that they shall not tekr

public roads w fhout permis­sion or fall to replace them in good .shape after tearing them up.

We object vto the enormous in­crease there has been in t!^ county’s bonded indebtedness during the. last four years and we are not in favor of any further increase unless perma­nent improvements, imperatively de­manded, necessitate the same. Nor do

favor the policy of bonding to pay current expenses.

We do not believe Ir so shaping specifications for county work that all Jnrt a few favorsd contractors grs -ep-' elided from bidding. That system means 75 cents worth Of work for $1 paid. ; _ V

We. do not believe in secret or “cut'and dried" meetings of the Board of Freeholders. All proceedings should be open and above board and the.lax- payers should know hew <h«ir money Is spent. ’

We think*that the prisoners t)% Jail should ibe boarded by county and the enormous profit of $5,000 a ysar, now beinga made b: private contractor, saved to the

a local busi-

each month as soon as made and bet Ijield back for two or three months, as

at present. The July, llOf, statement wds not published until September 23.

W« do not believe in “short-yeai high finance" which cuts one year’s rate to make a showing and results in a deficiency the next ydar #blch has to be made pp by borrowing on notes at six per cent or bonding.

12. We do not believe Is raising tbs tax rate throughout the county on av­erage of ten points, as was tens this year. V ? - ’ ,

12. Instead of increasing the expen­ditures $65,000 a year, our effort will be to reduce them substantially by

groom with a gold crescent set’ with thirty diamonds.

The groom gave his best man and the ushers gold stick pins, and the bride gave her attendants gold brooches.

After the church ceremony was con­cluded a large reception and supper was given at the spacious residence of the bride’s parents on Graham ave- ftue, to the more intimate friends, at which about 250 were present. The house was tastefuTTy trimmed In cor­responding style ahd colors to those employed at the church. One large

was literally filled by a display of the many handsome and valuable varieties of presents received by the

bride. Quantities of silver, cut glass, rare and beautiful china, and bric-a-brac composed the tokens esteem from over 200 givers.

Rarely, if eves, has Metuchen known the union of two more popular young people and the admiration and affection displayed for the brfde is merited recognition of her personal charm antf gboSnpss of character. Mr. Letson Is fortunate to win such a bride and the bride will undoubtedly be happy through life with a hue band of the sterling qualities possess ed by the groom.

When Senator Silver was nominated three years ago he “declared 'him­self" oil the issues which were prom­inent then and received the nomina­tion and election Ion a specific plat­form of pledges, all of whiijjh he con­sistently adhered to during his term in office. His opponent this year is a n^ore formidable one than then, and in Judge Hicks the Republican ticket presents a nominee whose record in public life, stands highly to his credit, if elected to the State Senate Judge Hicks would doubtless serve his party and county well. j

However, Senator Silzer’s friends claim that he has "made, good" and “one good term deserves another." j Silzer's strongest claim ■ for votes ftt 1

"First, your reasons for doubting the girl," retorted Ransom. "They must be excellent ones for you to re- aiat the evidence of such conclusive proofs as you have yourself been wit­ness to since entering this house. I am Georgian’s husband. I have the strongest wish In the world to see her again at my side yet with the excep­tion of her wonderful likehesa to my wife, I find nothing in this raw if beautiful girl, of the polished, highly trained woman I married.

Such was Mr. Harper’s decisionafter hearing all that Mr. Ransom had to tell film of the present situa­tion. Ransom expressed his satisfac­tion, and left the room with a lighter heart than he had felt Since Hazen came upon the scene. He did not know that all he had been through was as nothing to what lay before him.

It waa an hour before he returned. When he did, It was to find Hazen and the lawyer awaiting him In Ill- concealed impatience.

“ Have you done It?” exclaimed Hae- en, leaping eagerly to his feet as the door closed softly behind Ransom.

“ I couldn’t get hold of Mrs. Deo any sooner,” replied Ransom. "Anltra la having her hair brushed, or something else of equal Importance done for her In one of the rear ropms.

“Haven’t you already made a trial o f that? Then do so now," suggested Hazen, drawing out tha key aod lay­ing It on the table. -

But this was too uncongenial a taak for Ransom.

“It can,” asserted that gentleman.
