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.

All purchases were for cash and the entire sum, $870,000, was supplied by International Paper & Power Co. In exchange they gave their notes which were secured by the stock of the newspapers as collateral, although the actual certificates were not turned over. In no case did they tell the sellers...
...fortnight ago, not by announcing that International Paper & Power Co. had bought stock in four of his papers, but by announcing that he had bought back such stock from I. P. & P. (TIME, May 13): and Samuel Emory Thomason, co-owner of Bryan-Thomason Newspaper Publishers, Inc. (Chicago Journal, Greensboro, N. C., Record, Tampa, Fla., Tribune) in which are one million Graustein dollars...
