In a few moments Harwell was
watching the gay painted back Of the
trap, now occupied by two figures, re-
treating into the dusk.
His lip quiyered a little sensitivey
"They never thought Of me-" he NUT
tered. Small has got her, and 1--we
got the chill he wanted me to have"
Then he limped on through the twi-
light toward the dormitory mile
away.
That evening Harwell sat in the liv-
ing room Of his fraternity house nurs-
ing his aching muscles and giving an
occasional sneeze The hundred yard
dash was lost; but, since Alice, too,
was lost, be was strangely Indifferent.
Then he was called to the telephone.

at the hotel with her mother, would be

Dick nodded, and Alice's face filed
with dismay With two brothers in

"Oh, Dickw she said. ooh, Dickw
Something in her tone made Dick
look up "But you don't care" he said
bitterly.

PERTH AMBOY's VOTE.

Perth Amboy showed Theodore
Strong what it thought of him Tues
day. AS the NEWS stated last Sat
urday, this city was able to defeat
Jackson and it did Perth Amboy
has been shuffied about in any old
fashion by the Strong machine" +"
The organization had no claim upon
this city and the people showed Boss
Strong what they think of him.
Perth Amboy did well. 1t was the
majority given Silzer her that turned
Jackson down 1t is probable bore
after that this city will be ciye. more
consideration. 1t has been a notori-
GUS fact that Perth Amboy has been
sighted in every instance by Strong's
machine. True, the boss has al
lowed some small appointments to
come here, but anything worth while
has always gone to the favored sons
in New Brunswick. The county tax
board is the one exception, but
George ]. Haney, Strong's chief lieu-
tenant, got that. se
Perth Amboy saw her opportunity
and she made the most of it. Boss
Strong's own personal representative
was turned down through the vote
here. Perth Amboy did herself proud.
It,was a deserving rebuke. The peo-
pie here are independent to a great
extent. They think for themselves
and when given a fair opportunity,
they can be counted upon to do the
right thing. They did this Tuesday
when they turn down Jackson.

Womns Suffrage notice
sdemsta

full organization fell Tuesday and ii
was startling indeed. With the as
sistance of the blow struck at the
primaries the battle at the election
took the biggest plum the machine
had, from it's control Thus, in only
two struggles, both in a single year
Boss Strong's organization is tot
tering.
Theodore Strong made a serious
mistake when he thought he was in ]
position to defy the people. No man
in this country is able to do that.
The downfall of Strong has only
begun. While he loses the state sen.
atorship, the greatest plum of all, he
still has all the other county Offices
Although severely crippled he is still
able to sit on his throne.
The fight must go on. The Strong
machine must be wiped out. The next
opportunity comes at the primaries
next year when the republicans who
prefer to control their own party, will
endeavor to take charge of the county
convention. The people should make
their own nominations, they can and
they will The fight against Boss
Strong must go on. The rest should
be easy.

GEORGE j. HANEY.

George j. Haney cannot control
Perth Amboy. He was under orders
from his boss, Theodore Strong, to
deliver the Perth Amboy vote for
jackson and he made strenuous eff
fort to do it, but he failed. The peo-
pie here don't want George j. Haney
for a leader. Just what the people
think of him can be learned from the
vote in the First ward in which Haney
himself lives and where, under ordi-
nary circumstances, big republican
majority can be counted upon.
The people have had enough of
George J. Haney. He should go away
back in the rear and stay there. HI
was in the Board of Freeholders and
helped build the bridge. He wanted
to pay his friend Asbury Fountain
$15,5O0 for lot of swamp land.
That is sufficient for him. He is not
desired as a public official nor as a
leader in any particular.
Jackson's defeat can be laid to the
leadership of George J. Haney here,
as much as anything else. He is a
creature of Boss Strong and the
Strong Haney cmbination was
knocked out.
Haney should set out of public life
entirely. He would not be in the
water bo3 / if it was an elective po-
sition and he should resign. When
Governor Stokes makes permanent the
membership of the county tax board
he should omit the name of George ].
Haney.
The people of Perth Amboy object
to Haney having the absolute au'
thority as to who shall get political
lhonors here, They administered Q
severe rebuke to him Tuesday and he
should step down and out. Boss

HOME DRESsMAKER.

1t is always worth while in making
undergarments, pillowcases, which
have to be washed constantly, to use
good fourfold linen buttons which
will, if properly sewed on, wear out
with the article of dress.
The oldfashioned ways of stitching
the buttons on in circle or across
in wheel are very apt to tear the
button. A much firmer method OF
securing them is to take strong cotton
and make a tight, close, buttonholed
loop across the button like the sub
stitutes for eyes used in dressmaking
The loop should be made of five OF
six strands of cotton before it is but
tonholed to make it strong, Finish
it off firmly and neatly at the back
and there will be no fear of the but
ton coming off until scissors are ap-
piled when it becomes too old and
bent for use.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER
I jACKSON'S DEFEAT.

Any attempt on the part of the re-
publican machine to lay the blame
of Jackson s defeat to the Bishops "
bill is all rot, pure and simple. If the
people had opposed the bishops
bill they would have defeated the re-
publican assembly candidates as well
as the senator, for they had as much
to do with it's passage as he did. The
Bishops /" bill was not an issue il
the campaign in this county. 1t wa
/ hardly mentioned.
d The manner in which Jackson was
slashed and cut, running behind the
ticket in nearly every section of the
county and especially in this vicinity,
y is proof conclusive that his defeat is
direct slap at Theodore Strong
Everyone knows that Jackson was a
mere tool in the hands of the ma
chine His record proves it and he
announced that he was standing on
his record for reelection. The peo-
pie took him at his word and he went
down.
The people have not forgotten how
Jackson brought disgrace upon the
state in his pigeon bill action; they
have not forgotten his errand-boy
tactics every time the bosses whist
led they fully realized that with
Jackson in the senate they had mere
representative of Theodore Strong
who, not being able to hold that Of
fee and be state assessor at the
same time, had Jackson to hold the
seat for him while he did everything
else.
The people of Mlddlcsex want a
man i'll the senate Who represents
them, who is capable Of representing
them and who can hold his own
among the other senator's without
first being told by boss what to d.
and how TO act 1t is for this reason
Aand none other, that Jackson was
turned down. It was a notice to Boss
Strong that il is the beginning of che
end of his absolute rule in Middlesex
county.
Jackson was recognized as Strong's
personal representative in the legis-
lature and he was the only republican
on the county ticket who was de-
feated. Nothing could be more plain
than this. Let Theodore Strong and
his machine take notice. Further
defiance OF the people win only act
all the harder against him

MALARIA IN GREECE.

The excessive prevalence of mala-
ria in Greece is engaging the atten-
tion of English physicists. 1t is said
to be checking the development of
rural life, and is very serious thing
for the nation. The statistics of the
country show that out of popula-
tion of 2,500,000 there were $50, 600
cases of malaria annually, and the
deaths were about 1860. Last year
the number of cases increased to
9660,000, and the deaths to 5916.
Professor Savas, of the University of
Athens, and physician to King
George, is initiating a movement to
deal with the plague
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-11-08

This is likely to be accomplished
much sooner than the most sanguine
had dared to hope for. With an or
ganization which has taken years to
build up, he was strongly entrenched
as a mighty power in Middlesex. He
worked hard TO perfect that organi-
zation and he admits it. When it was
completed it became a great political
machine with Theodore Strong at the
head. an absolute power to appoint,
elect, nominate and do everything
else. Thus, sitting upon his throne,
Strong thought he was in position
to defy the people, and he did.
1t became impossible for any
one to receive any political honors
without first getting the consent of
Theodore Strong and he refused that
consent unless the would-be candi-
date first promised to obey orders.
The people will stand such thing
as this just so long but no longer.
/, Last spring, a sturdy, honest young
man, a representative citizen of this
, county, wanted to be state senator
While in the assembly he had stood
: by the people he was supposed to
| represent and had defied the boss
h upon several occasions. Strong knew
e he could not control the young man
II and he declared he could not be the
3 regular republican nominee for sena-
tor.
S Colonel Fordyce did not ask Strong
e to nominate him, knowing that the
2 Office belonged to the people and he
went before the people and asked
5 them for it.
The campaign before the primar-
| les was one of the hottest this county
has ever experienced. The boss
, brought his powerful machine, which
/ he had spent years in building, into
play and he was able to defeat Colonel
!. Fordyce, but his machine had re-
ceived severe blow. 1t was the
first to be struck, and it was hardly
/, to be expected that so powerful an
organization could be overcome SO
+ quickly, but it was beginning.
Boss Strong and his followers rid
iculed the Fordyce movement and
continued to belittle it, but it had
dealt the first blow and from that
beginning the fail of the Strong
ring is marked
The second blow upon this power
