Perth Annboy Voters Alone Can Defeat Senator Jackson.

-
1t lies within the power of the voters Of Perth Amboy o decide the
election in this county Tuesday. This fact should be well considered by
every voter before going to the polls lie should "k himself what has
Theodore Strong done or Perth Amboy that the citizens of this city
should continue him in power?
THE MAIN THING THE STRONG MACHINE" HAS DONE FOR
THIS CITY IS TO PUT GEORGE J.. HANEY OVER US, AND ALL OUR
DESIRES AND FAvoRs MUST COME THROUGH HIM
DO the citizens of Perth Amboy want George j. Haney as the chief
censor? psa ge#t j
As the 'rdng" leader in this city, it falls upon Mr. Haney to zee that
this city is properly cared or in the giving ont of patronage. The biggest
plum that las been giyen nut is the county tax board commissionership
That, it will be noticed, Mr.. Haney QUIETLY PocKETED HIMSELF.
Such jobs as keeper at he state refornatory, n o r W appoint
ments o. which have ONE to this city, Mr. Tianty has given nut where he
thinks it will DO THE MOST GOOD.
A local man was recently appointed tenement house inspector. This
appointment wa turned over to George J.Hahcy and h selected tn man,
sent his nan to Theodore Strong with the official 80. k" and the man
thus chosen was duly appointed. OF course Senator jackson is really the
nc to make he appointment, hut he don't count. He is merely the
means to a end. tt,e+
How do you like it,, voters? This is supposed to be your government,
but ii reality you a get nothing UNLESS GEORGE j. HANEY FIRST
GIVES HIS APPROVAL.
This is what is called organization"
If o va the Organization" to continue in power, vote o tn re-
publican county candidates for they stand for the Strong "machine' and
their election means that George j Haney can continue etc walk the streets
knowing that he carries this city, rs far is county and state appointments
re concerned, in his vest pocket. Admitting that every city must have a
leader, do the voters OF Perth Amboy to be under the thumb of
George }. Haney?
1t would seem a if W e have had enough of Haney. We had him in
the Board of Freeholders and in thu building OF the bridge; W e have had
him in a local coal combine, soaking the city for coal fr the public
schools; W e have had him in the water board, trying to make a deal
whereby the city a o pay his friend Asbury Fountain si5soo fol a
few acres Of swamp land at Runyon.
1T is NOW FOR THE VOTERS TO SAY WHETHER THEY WANT
HANEY TO HOLD THE CITY IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND.
Strong has the giving ut Oft the patronage and decides from which
section Of the county the appointec shall come from. If he is to como
from Perth Amboy Haney is notified and, by a NOD OF us HEAD, Haney
can direct that this mar or that MAJ gets the job. Haneys dhsapproVai
means that you III BARRED.
What has Perth Amboy received, anyway? One o two appoint
ments att the tate reformatory N the county a board presidency. For
the latter Haney NODDED HIS HEAD AT HIMSELF AND HE KEPT
THAT ONE.
Think it over, voters, and if you object to Haney handling your
Offices for you and dealing them tut to whom he peases' you w II I'D
soIutely within your power to change it.
As has been stated, Theodore Strong IA the giving out If all APP
pointments. BUT HE HAS THIS POWER ONLY AS LONG AS HE con-
Trolls THE SENATOR FROM THIS COUNTY, WHO is NOW W. H.
c. JACKSON. Naturally he is anxious to see Jackson reelected SO tina
he can continue to control the patronage.
The vote of this city ALONE a elect o defeat jackson. There
fore, if you have objections to George J Fancy bossing you; II yu on
jt to going to George j. Haney on Bonded knees when you want q po
ltcaI favor. cast your vote against Jackson and Haney Will g WIN
the machine.
In 1908 when jackson was elected senator he defeated Vehman'
by 6s votes. Perth Amboy, in 1908, gave Jackson but 261 majority
1t is safet to say siImr will make as good a run throughout M county :"
did viehmann- sizer should poll every democratic vote and therefore de-
ponds upon republican voters, who ire disguised with strongs ring
methods, to give him a majority.
1t only requires 37 republican votes % overcome acksohs ma
joriy Over viehmam three years ago. for as his majority !" oa' "
take ai7 from the republicans reduces that vte just that m"ch' IN "
add this 37 to the democrats increases that party vote jus ina """"
so that the difference between the republican and democratic OF "o"u
all told, be ga in favor of the democrats.
IT THUS REMAINS FOR s17 REPUBLICANS TO CUT JACKSON
AND VOTE FOR sILZER.
In the primary contest here Col Fordyce received 20 soou -
hcan votes, EACH ONE A PROTEST AGAINST II bo9o'e" -
THE sTRONG-HANEY COMBINATION.
But IS az republican votes are all that is needed 10 ei'' '"Ni'
is evident that it lies within the power of Perth Amboy 10 SWING W
