is no record anywhere of Jackson's
opposition to anything that Strong
willed.
1T was Strong who nominated
Jackson for the second term as can
didate for senator; Strong who would
not let any other republican run;
Strong who fought against the nom
ination of Fordyce; Strong who wrote
the campaign literature, such as it
was; Strong who cracked the party
whip; Strong who conducted the
campaign; Strong who was really up
for Office; Strong whose political pow
er and prestige were at stake, and
Strong who was actually defeated at
the polls by the Disguised and indig-
nant people. 1t was not Jackson, it
was bossism, that was the issue in
Middlesex, and bossism was crushed
by the defeat of the boss's nominee.
THE figures are interesting in con-
nection with the MiddleseX election.
The county is strongly republican.
In 1904 it gave a plurality of 3,121
for Roosevelt and 2.421 for Stokes.
Last e a it gave 2,S72 for its assem-
bly, ticket, and even as far back as
1900 it elected Theodore Strong, the
boss himself, by 2,072 plurality. Mr..
Jackson never enjoyed such popular
ity with the voters of Middlesex,
doubtless because he was always the
boss's nan and wore the boss's collar.
In 1901 he was elected to the as
sembly by 204 plurality, in 1902 by
1913 and in 1903 his senatorial plur-
ality was 633. This year he and Boss
Strong were defeated by 101 plural
ity, while the three republican can

THE c BOARD.

No one can make any mistake as TO
what the people of Perth Amboy
think of the present excise board.
Only m of the present members was
up for reelection and be was turned
down as he should have been.
Not only was he turned down, but
the people showed their contempt for
the present board by taking the con
troll of the body from the republicans
and giving it TO the democrats. 1t
was a plain case of the voters show
ing that they want better things
from the excise board in the future.
They do not want to see a beer sign
on every prominent corner in the
city and two or three along every
block.
The newly elected excise board is
made up of excellent men and they
no doubt, realize the meaning of their
election. They can be depended upon
to correct some of the evils that now
exist and will bring order and re-
spect out of the present chaos.
The election should be a warming
to the present excise board not to in
terfere during the remaining two
months they are in Office. The pub
Lie has expressed its d%isapproval of
them and the commissioners would
do well to transact as little business
as possible and let matters rest for
the new board.

RECOUNT

Theodore Strong has written to the
county committeeman in this city ask
ing them to furnish him with the
number of rejected ballots in their
respective wards. From this it might
be judged that the republicans are
seriously considering a recount OF the
votes in a desperate effort to elect
Jackson.
1t hardly seems possible that the
machine" will do this. A recount
of the ballots would be about as well
come to the democrats as the repub-
licans. 1t is probable that it would
not only increase Silzer's majority,
but it might reduce some of the re-
publican majorities and possibly even
elect other democrats besides Mr.. Sill
ger.
Inc ueUlOCGdlS lnClloClNN otC W.
| templating a recount in the First
ward in this city in the hope of elect
ing their alderman who lost by but
six votes. A recount on the part OF
Jackson might defeat the republican
alderman here. In the light of these
things it hardly seems likely that the
republicans will risk opening the bal
lot boxes again.
No doubt Boss Strong feels very
sore over Jackson's defeat, but this
is only the beginning. He will be
feeling much worse before the people
get through with him. unless he steps
down and out without further warn
ing.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-11-09

didates for assembly were reelected.
Whether or not Boss Strong will
take the lesson to heart remains to
be seen. Bosses are blind to their
own shortcomings and deaf to the
protestations of the people. They get
a grip on public affairs, and nothing
but political death seems sufficient
to loosen it. If Strong is wiser than
other bosses, which is extremely
doubtful, he will profit by this ex-
p~erience and will withdraw from poll
tics before the is thrown out, head,
neck and heels. The people of Mid
dlesex county have shown themselves
capable of selecting their own public
servants and nave thrown down both
the boss and his too faithful servitor.
1t is now Strong's duty and to his
own best interests to retire and give
place to a leader"

Already there is a rumor that an
effort will be made TO have the eX-
else board appointed by the court, IS
in New Brunswick and abolish the
present board. If the republicans
make such a move they will pay the
penalty next year. The recent vote
on the school board proposition shows
what the people of this city think of
appointive boards. They are not go
ing to give up any of their rights
which now exist and one of these
rights is the selection of an excise
board. If the republicans dare aboI-
ish the present board because the
democrats are in control, and make
it an appointive board by the court,
it will mean a complete democratic
sweep in this city next year.
Perth Amboy voters are exerting
their independence. They are be-
ginning to realize that the mere name
republican or democrat means
nothing in local affairs. They simply
want ring rule and bossism wiped
out. The voters can be depended
to do the right thing. They
have expressed their choice and any
who campers with the result does
so at his peril.

CONTROL OF THE PARTY.

The republican ring newspapers
are making but few attempts to ex-
plain the result of the election Tues
day. If they can find nothing better
than the Jersey City Journal pro-
duces, they show their wisdom By
keeping still. Here is what the
Journal says;
"The republican party arose in dis
gust at the primaries and rid itsell
of the fakirs. Then republican voters
by tens of thousands stayed away
from the polls. BY thousands they
neglected even to register"
That is really amusing. The re-
publicans voted all right, but the best
element in the party, which the
chooses to call "fakirs'
proved by their ballots that they real
ly control the party and for MiddleseX
at least, the ring cannot control
the county without them. 1t was the
in dependent vote leaving Jackson
and voting for Silzer that elected
him and the republican machine,
whether it admits it or not, knows it
10 be a fact.

diligence that it sought to make it
