portation. The event has an immense
significance.
Many years ago some capitalists
conceived the idea of a tunnel under
the Hudson, and subscribed the capt.
tai for the enterprise. The work
proved SO costly that the enterprise
BECAME bankrupt. Other capitalists
took. d. mp and met the same discour-
-agenrents. Accidents occurred, lives
were'lost, and then the work was
abandoned until the McAdoo Com
panyVtook hold and finally completed
the tunnel from shore to shore.
tlAlI this time the railroad compa-
MES that have their termini on the
Hudson held aloof. They had no
faitbe in the project, and they could
not he induced to subscribe a dollar
toward itt..
Meanwhile the population around
New York bay was growing. Com

largef fTrcfiities, and the time came
when the railroad companies perceiv-

Probably in another year Pennsyl-
vanfa railroad trains will be running
under the bed of the. Hudson river
and not long afterward there viii.
be twelve tunnels in operation for all
the railroads debouching on the Hud-
son, and for trolley cars, while tbs
East river also will be spanned will
tunnels.
But the conquest of the Hudson
will not end there. A great inter
state bridge, the largest, perhaps
in the world, will stretch from shore
to shore, a bridge beside which the
East river bridges will be pigmy af-

TALK 1T OVER"

Thoroughly aroused by the great
Fordyce sentiment that is sweeping
over the county, Boss Strong is she'd
ding tears and has become exceed
ingly busy.
One of his favorite methods of
fighting Col. Fordyce's nomination is
to follow up the independent league
workers and after they have secured
delegates to bring every pressure and
influence to bear to persuade the DEL
egates to withdraw.
DORY STRONG HAS BEEN BOSS
SO LONG HE ACTUALLY THINKS
HE OWNS THE COUNTY.
He seems to be laboring under the
delusion that the coming county con-
vcntion is being held especially for
his benefit, and that it is all his.
He is to have a rude awakening.
While it is true some men are
found who are afraid of the boss,
their places are soon filled by fearless
citizens who dare call their soul their
own.
INSTEAD OF COMING OUT IN
THE OPEN, DISCUSSING THE IS
SUES OF THE CAMPAIGN BEFORE
THE VOTERS AND SEEKING
THEIR SUPPORT IN AN HONEST.
RESPECTABLE MANNER, THE
RING SENDS IT'S WARD HEELERs
ON GUM-SHOE MISSIONS AND
DOES fTs DIRTY WORK ON THE
SLY.
by this method, fellow citizens,
Boss Strong hopes to keep control of
this county. 1t is up to you whether
he "a do so or not.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-09-15

The republicans in the third ward
are planning to ~re-elect Benjamin
Sturn to the school board this fall.
Evidently the republicans think the
people have forgotten the deadlock
and costly delay in school work dur
ing the past summer. The republic
cans in the first ward failed to sup
port E. B. Walker for a denomination
at the recent caucus and the third
ward republicans should have follow
ed the example.

(From the Hoboken Observer.)
Some hope for and some fear eX-
+ ~5ensive fraud at the coming primaries
in Hudson county. Politicians find
| it hard to get it into their heads that
The conditions surrounding the voting
will be very different from those
which obtained last December when
republican county committeeman
r elected.
Nearly all of the safeguards are
now thrown around the open pri-
maries that are thrown about cleo
tons. Officers are sworn and must
proceed in accordance with the stat
utes. Primary places are the places
of registry and are open. Every
man whose name is on the tickets
may be present to challenge and to
see the ballots counted. No n may
vote who is not registered for the
coming election, but no nan may be
prevented from voting.
Extensive fraud cannot be prac-
ticed in these circumstances any
more than it could last fall when
both of the political machines COM
'bined to elect Henry mayor of Jersey
City.
Few election officers will be Undue
ed to risk their liberty for the bene-
fit of their political friends. They
had one lesson in this county in 1888
which none will ever forget.
That year the republicans were
asleep. 1t is notorious that at most
of the polls there were no watchers.
If there had been alert watchers the.
crimes would not have been attempt
ed.
Each of the men who took part in
sured that the grand juries would
protect him if he got into trouble. He
was told that the sheriff was friend
ly. Yet, when the crime was brought
to light, the sheriff and the grand
iuries did not protect the election Of
son.
There will be some irregularities
this year, of course There are al
ways are. These will depend for their
extent upon the vigilance of the
watchers. But when the polls oper
on the afternoon of September 25.
the politicians will be surprised to
find the majesty of the law in full
sway, the election officers doing theil
duty as the statutes command, peace
and order prevailing in most of the
precincts and the votes falling with
out interruption into the primary
boxes.
Were there no other guarantee o,
this it would be found in the presence
of Justice j.. Franklin Fort in the
Hudson county court house in thu
seat once occupied by Justice Lippin
colt.
