Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-08-27

The most successful week of the
Fordyce campaign closed with &
meeting at Cranbury Saturday. a
which about eighty voters were pres
ent. Addresses were made by Col
Fordyce and Hon. George J. Corey
Charles A. Bloomfield's voice is fail
ing him somewhat under the stress OF
speaking twice daily for the past
week and he was not present.
The meeting showed that at least
eighty people in Cranbury are inter-
ested in the encouragements of the
trend locally to suppress bosses. They
showed keen interest throughout and
at times displayed genuine enthusi-
asm over the points made.
MONDAY Meetings.
Today the series of MONDAY meet
ings in New Brunswick are to begin
and continue four days This after
noon a meeting will be held at Bon
hamtown, another at Piscataway at
Z, and at 8 a third will be held at
Highland Park.
The Past Week.
During the past week Col Fordyce
in a public way came in contact with
about 1000 people in meetings alone.
He addressed evening audiences at
the Sand Hills school house, Mon
mouth Junction and Cranbury, be-
sides spending a few pleasant and
profitable hours with the Woodbridge
firemen at their picnic; and he adj
dressed in MONDAY meetings at five
Perth Amboy establishments about
200 workers. The opposition con
ceded that he had addressed at least
$500 previously since the campaign
began, and, making all allowance for
the fact that some heard him twice
during that time, it will be seen that
| Col. Fordyce is rapidly covering the
entire party vote with his preaching
of the gospel of "Think it over" Be-
tween 5000 and 10000 republican
votes are cast in the county. Col.
Fordyce must have already spoken to
at least hale of them by the opposi-
tion's own acknowledgment and the
figures of last weeks meetings. Be
fore the campaign ends he will have
addressed nearly every republican in
the county. and those who will not
have had the pleasure of hearing
him, will certainly have heard the
reverberations of the thunder.
A Fordycc Club.
Over in New Brunswick the For
dyce republican club, an idea of sew
eral days termination in the pending
senatorial campaign, was organized
Friday evening at a meeting held at
the rooms of the Independent Repub-
lican League.
The club starts with an enrolment
of one hundred members as starter,
all of them young men of this city.
Additional enrollments will be re-
ceived by the secretary or other Off
GERS.
JoItS for the Boss.
The incident at Monmouth juno
ton, Friday night, shows that the
thunder is jolting things, too. 1t has
jolted the Strong machine pretty well
out of gear, and all its hired men are
in bad panic.
The formation of the Young Mem S
Republican Club was another incl
dent that Jared the machine. The
Strong lieutenants would have scoff-
ed at the idea of it being possible to
arganize such a club. They were
angrily amazed at the fact that it
was, however. The splendid char
acter of the young men at the head
of it made it unassailable. There
wasn't an office seeker in the lot,
whereas the Jackson club is mere
corral into which have been herded
Office holders and office seekers.
