One thing "Charlie" always demanded was a square deal for the opposing team as well as for his own.

That Is just one the sterling qualities (the demand for a square deal for all) that the Senator has always possessed. No one can truthfully deny that. After leaving High School the Senator became associated with his father, the late Joshua D. Loizeaux, who was then president of the J. D.

COKE WOOD .4 iii V-7 (m) In Warren Township Editor, The Courier-News: I would appreciate very much if you would allow space in your paper for this personal opinion of.

mine ia matters concerning the closing hours of the establishments selling alcoholic beverages In Warren Township. My opinion is based as a taxpayer and adjoining neighbor of such an establishment. As you know, the voters of Warren Township will decide whether these establishments should be closed on Sundays or not. As one who Is seldom patronizing these places I believe to have the right to voice my opinion, because of the opportunity to judge by their conduct of doing business. Besides the financial Influence which these establishments have on our taxes, I would like to bring in mind the positive result these places brought about in putting Warren Township on the map.

It might be of great interest to know in how far these places were instrumental in the increase of traffic through the township, which after all only helped to advertise the advantage of this community. If one would judge by these symptoms, in connection with the respectability with which these places are operated, one comes to the conclusion that these places rather contribute an asset than a detriment to this community. The writer bases his opinion on facts when he states that it is Impossible for' a minor to even get a package of cigarettes for which he was sent. To close these places on Sundays would be a disadvantage to our slowly awakening township. As long as these places are conducted as to help our community, they should be allowed to continue their business as long as their reputation and their name helps to bring people to Warren Township where they can find enjoyment in business-like managed establishments.

FISCHER, Route 3, Plainfield. A Split Ballot Editor, The Courier-News: In voting for persons running for local office the determining factor should not be the party label of a candidate, but rather bis qualifications for the office for which he has consented to run, and whether he is the best possible candidate. To this end citizens may, and do, split their ballots at general elec tion time. All other things being equal, most of us, no doubt, prefer to vote along strictly party lines, but when those things are not equal. the people can exercise their choice by splitting votes and picking their qualified leaders, regardless of the party columns in which their names may stand.

The voting machine is no Impediment to split voting. The only time when a citizen cannot split his ballot is in the primaries. It is as simple to pull down levers standing in different rows on the machine as It Is to put marks in a zig-zag fashion upon a printed ballot. The citizens of Plainfield have the opportunity this year to vote for a candidate for Mayor whose name recalls to us the fine service he rendered this city while he was a member of the Common Council. He is John N.

Claybrook, and his name is in the Democratic column. He the honor to be supported not only by people of his own party, but by a great number of members of the Republican party as welL Among those interested in his be half are former Republican mem bers of the Common Council who realize that while Mr. Claybrook was serving with them he put the good of Plainfield above everything else, was subservient to no one. Ir respective of any city, state or na tional considerations. Among oth era of his adherents are prominent citizens whose names are associated with the highest ideals and the best things in Plainfield persons who do not readily lend their names to the open support of a political can didate, especially when the candidate Is not a nflmber of their own party.

Let the voters of Plainfield. there fore, consider well Mr. Clayb rook's record, his upright character, his sincerity and strength of purpose when they cast their vote on Elec tion Day. Let them not hesitate to exercise their right to use a split ballot just as much as they want. Let them remember that the voting machine cannot, and Is not intend' ed to prevent this.

This important thing for Plainfield Is that It be governed by the best possible citi zens. SEYMOUR PERKINS JR.

Senator Loizeaux has been continuously connected with that company ever since.

His businjss ability, progress! ve-ness, foresight and integrity were immediately recognized by every one who had contact with him in any capacity whatsoever. Upon the death of his father in 1931 he became president of the J. D. Loizeaux Lumber Company. The business has thrived ever since the Senator became connected with it until now it is recognized as one of the largest, most progressive, best known and most highly respected lumber companies In the East.

Sev eral years go the Loizeaux Lumber Company formed the Loizeaux Builders Supply Company of Eliza beth, of which the Senator is now president. Aside from his lumber business, the Senator is also president of the Mid-City Trust Company, of Plain- field. He is also active in civic, fraternal, social and military or ganizations, being a member, of the Plainfield Chamber or Commerce, a charter member of 'the Plainfield Rotary Club, a member of the Elks Club.

Red Men. Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. In 1916 Senator Loizeaux was elected to the Plainfield Common Council where he served with distinction until 1917. when he resigned to answer the call of his country and enlisted in the Army as a private in Company A of the 311tn Infantry. Later he was trans ferred to Company of the 309th Machine Gun Battalion.

The Senator's marked ability as a leader and fighter was quickly recognized and he was advanced through the ranks from private to captain and served, both at home and abroad, for the duration of the war. A citation for meritorious service was awarded Senator Loi zeaux and he was honorably dis charged from the Army in 1919. Upon his return from the service the Senator again took up his serv ices with the J. D. Loizeaux Lumber Company and I say, without fear of contradiction, that it was due to his foresight, ability, and untiring efforts that the firm forged ahead until It reached the enviable posi tion it holds today.

In 1920 the need was felt for a young, energetic man for the mayoralty of the City of Plainfield and once again we the best fitted man that could be found for the job. the Honorable Charles E. Loizeaux. That year's campaign was a hot one, and we zeit me neea or a young man with a hard and rare record. Who did we call upon to lead our fight? We called upon our.

present Senator, the honorable Charles E. Loizeaux, and through his foresight, progressiveness and ability he proved, to the voters of Plainfield that he was the only man fully qualified to. fill the position. He was elected by an overwhelming majority, and he was reelected, and his four years of administrating the affairs of our city were marked with rare foresight and courage for the betterment of the city at large and the happiness of the people. The splendid system of parks now enjoyed by the citizens of Un ion County is but one of his note worthy achievements for the betterment of the City and Plainfield and mankind in general.

His record as mayor of our city was second to none. It wt.3. as his record as Senator has been, meritorious In every respect. As an ex-service man, ad a former National Guardsman, I feel that I am in a position to say that all during my experience as a Le gionnaire and Guardsman, Senator Loizeaux always gave unstintingly of. his time, resources and energy lor the best interests of -the Na tional Guard.

He worked hard for us and never once did he turn a deaf ear to our pleas and they were many at that time. In 1924 my good friend the Sen ator, much to the disappointment of many, retired from active politics. judge Clarence is. Case said at that time, and we know very well. that the voters of New Jersey would not allow a man of Senator Lol- zeaux's sterling qualities to remain in private life.

Judge Case was right, for when in 1932 we needed a fighting. Godfearing candidate to oppose th3 or ganization's candidate for State Senator, we again came to "Char lie Loizeaux to lead our fight. The Senator fought a clean fight. against a clean opponent, the result being that "Charlie" Loizeaux re ceived the nomination and in No vember of that year was elected to the State Senate by the handsome plurality of 18.000 votes. Since that date, the Senator has been a member of the Appropria tions Committee for four years, two years of which he was chairman, and may say that every one of those years the state has been able to balance their budget fThe fed eral government might well follow their principle.) Senator Loizeaux was Majority Leader in 1937; president of the Senate in 1938 and has been Acting Governor.

All of these positions he has filled admirably and I personally call upon the voters of Union County to return him to Trenton la order that he may carry on his wonderful work for the betterment of our woman of the Fourth vara. Harvey R- Linbargers past year's as couneilman-at-large should speak for Itself.
