Mayor Hague has been under investigation by a Republican legislature at Trenton. The charges against him have been municipal graft and corruption. The potent Jersey Journal has raked him with editorial criticism. Chief exhorter against him has been one James Burkitt, a rangy Alabaman and self-styled "Jeffersonian Democrat." Not a candidate himself, "Jeff" Burkitt sought to "sell good government" to Jersey City. His loud, vote-swaying cry was against the exorbitant taxation which has driven many a manufacturer out of Jersey City during the Hague...
When Indiana's Watson, the Republican leader, tried to tell Senator Heflin that the Senate could not properly pass his resolution, the Alabaman, with bellowing surprise, asked if Watson wasn't the "finest old he-horse of the Klan." Senator Watson puffed and protested.

...Hefflin's latest and most vigorour lunge at the Catholic windmill will probably no more add to the gayety of the nation, than it will disrupt the minority party. For the Democrats, with the exception of some Senators, mostly southern, who remained away from the caucus yesterday, repudiated the Alabaman by unanimous support of his opponent Robinson. And if the fathers of this country are turning in their graves because a senator in Congress questioned the right of a man to be president because of religious belief, they may reflect that Hefflin is no typical senator, even if such heated...
...perfect combination. The Hon. Mr. Comer had been everything an Alabaman should have been-Civil War cadet, large-scale farmer, large investor in manufactories, wholesale merchant, citizen with public spirit enough to enter politics and fight for reforms himself. Railway rates had been the issue of his political career. Water-transportation for inland Alabama industry was the end to which he now gave his name and money, until the end was won. Not for a "handsome profit" Alabamans said, had the Hon. Mr. Comer and Publisher Thompson used the Age-Herald, but as an instrument to develop their state which...
