MEANS FREEMAN WINS.
Democrats Can Vote for the Re-
publican Candidate by Writing
His Name on Their Ballot.
MAY OPEN THE BALLOT BOXES
Freeman Was After the Republican
Nomination But Had More Votes
in the Democratic Box.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

SDecfnt 10 the II pENING u NE WS.
TRENTON, Sept 30:-Justice
Swayze today signed a writ of man
damus compelling the Metuchen cleo
ton board to count the sixty-two
votes for Dr. Charles Freeman which
were cast by democrats in the box
although Freeman was running as a
republican. If necessary the ballot
boxes are to be opened. This will
give DR.. Freeman, the democratic
nomination for mayor of Metuchen.
In his opinion filed in the case JUS
tice Swayze puts an altogether new
meaning on the primary law.
In giving his opinion the justice says:
| There are provisions, of course, in the
! primary law which prevent the name
| of a republican from being placed on
an official democratic ballot at the pri-
| maries, but this is because the law, in
establishing definite tests has to adopt
somewhat artificial mode of defining
a democrat and a republican, based
/ upon whether he has voted a certain
| ticket, and not upon his political prin-
| ciples and belief. 1t would eXalt party
| names into a more important place than
! they have ever been held to forbid mer
| from voting at a primary election fol-
one whose political views pleased them
.
artificial definition of the statute b,
voting at a previous election a ticke
with a party label; and it would b.
quite out of harmony with the view o
most thoughtful men to import thes
artificial divisions of parties into nun
| icipal elections by ruling so hard an
fast as that for which the defendan
| (the Metuchen election board) con
i tends. The language of the act doe
/ not lead to such construction"
In concluding his opinion Justic
! Swayze says that the primary election
act was never meant to entrust to al
election board the power to determine
without hearing, to what party a mai
| belongs and as a result of that deter
mination to reject ballots honestly cas-
4 for him.
DIR. Freeman, it will be remembered
| was a candidate for the nomination o
mayor of Metuchen on the republican
ticket. When his friends saw he wa
being beaten they inserted his nm
on the democratic ticket and had LII
nominated as a democrat.

CUBA ON VERGE
OF REVOLUTION

HAVANA Sept. 30:-A crisis is
expected momentarily between the
provisional government and the rev.
olutionary movement. The situation
is considered grave. Governor Ma
goon sent a secret order to the COM
manders of the rural guards to cap
ture, dead or alive, every rebel and
not to desist until every one of them
have been disposed of.
The strike conditions appear to be
growing worse and unless some sud
den change takes place it is believed
that Magoon will sieze the railroads
and operate them with the rural
guards. In addition to the other
troubles reports from Cienfuegos in
dicate that yellow fever is spreading
there.

GO TO
CHURCH IN BODY
Members Of The Local Department
Hear a Stirring Sermon by
Rev. J. H. NOrlhrup.
COURAGE" WAS THE TOPIC.

About fifty members of the fire de-
partment met last night in the rooms
of Lincoln Engine Company on State
line and marched to the First Pres
byterian church where they listened
to a special sermon by Rev ]. H.
Northrup on the subject of ''Cour-
age"
The sermon was a short but very
interesting one and the pastor may
feel assured that the firemen and all
who were present derived great deal
of good from the vivid word
pictures used to portray his subject.
Mr.. Northrup gave correct idea of
courage by telling of things that
have happened nearby. He also en-
deavored to interpret the noble pas
sion that rises in a mans breast in
time of danger. He told how the
firemen, always subject to great dan
ger, should conduct themselves at
those times, and to always remember
that the spirit of God goes with the
faithful and the brave into peril.
Courage" he said, "can best be
studied by contrast" He told how

countered danger, turned back. "Th

CLASS CONFIRMED
PLEASING EVENT AT ST. JOHNS
 SEEN BY MANY PEOPLE.
Thirty-Two Persons, Including Many Adults. From Both St. John's and Holy Comforter Par
 ishes, are Given Rite.

somewhat remarkable event took place Monday noon at St. Johns Church, when Bishop Beckwith, not withstanding it was his fourth visit to the parish since the annual coun- ell last May, confirmed a class of thirty-two candidates, in the presence of a large congregation. While the class is not the largest that has been confirmed at St. Johns, 1t is above the average. and taken in conjunction with the Bishops frequent visits to Montgomery, is quite remarkable in point of size.
 Another feature about the class which attracted the attention of those considerable number of those con- flrmed were adults. There were a number of men ranging from twenty five to forty years of age. and several married ladies. At the last visit to Montgomery of the Bishop, he con- firmed class at St. Johns, in which there were several persons of mature years.
 The class represented tboth St. Johns parish and that of the Church of the Holy Comforter, there being twenty-eight candidates from St. Johns and four from the Holy Comfor- ter. There were twenty-two men and boys and ten women and girls.
 Bishop Beckwith. in his sexmon. which was an able one. commented upon the unusual hour for the service, and congratulated the people of Mont gomery upon presenting such a large class and upon so large 8 eongrega- ton being present at that hour. The Bishops remarks were very appro- priate and fitting to the occasion.
 The class was presented by Rev. T. E. Cobbs, rector of St. John's, both MT. Cobbs and Rev. Stewart Mc- Queen, rector of the Church Of the Holy Comforter, assisting the Bishop in the services.
 Bishop Beckwith went to wetumpka yesterday afternoon to confirm a class of four there last evening. Rev. Mir. Cobbs of Montgomery holds services there once each week. The Bishop will return to Montgomery this morn- ing. and will leave on the Geneva train this afternoon.
