tion OF the new grammar school

helped to start, he has again decided
to run. His supporters will shortly
distribute a petition and Mr.. Bradley

RUNYON is
URGED FOR
CONGRESS
Diners at Pleasure Bay Saturday
Might Heard His Name Worked
Into a Song.
POLITICIANS AT THE TABLE

They have way of launching
political booms at Pleasure Bay that
is unique. Visitors at that resort
Saturday night were not surprised
when the orchestra of colored men
began to sing well-known song
with other names than those which
go with the original words.
But 1t is of interest to this city to
know that last Saturday night the
chorus spelled R-U-N-Y-O-N, and a
group of men at certain table
seemed to join heartily in the song.
Soon the whole garden took 1t up
and the evening turned out to be an
ovation for w. Parker Runyon, of
this city, whom the democrats are
anxious to nominate for congress
this fall
From closer glance at the table
where the most enthusiasm seemed
to come from 1t was seen that 1t was
occupied by some well-known poll
ticians from Middlesex and Mon
mouth counties. Among those noted
were w. Parker Runyon, Of Perth
Amboy; Oliver Kelly, of Oak Tree;
Thomas ]. Scully, Of South Amboy;
Edwin Furman, Of Sayreville; Mil
lard F. Ross, George A. Viehmann,
William H. Price and Peter f. DAILY,
of New Brunswick; David S. Crater,
of Freehold; Melvin A. Rice, of At
lantic Highlands, and his friend, Mr..
Gallagher, and Frank s. Katzenbach,
Of Trenton, who was democratic
candidate for governor last year
1t was natural that when such
gathering got together there would
be some politics discussed. It seems
fho+ an f,ff hn 1 NTH
the orchestra to work the name of
Runyon into the song. They did SO
and the Perth Amboy man was taxi
en- completely OF his guard He did
not know what to do. It was evil
dent to everyone in the room that
he was embarrassed, especially when
all the diners took up the name and
made the room ring. After that Mr..
Runyon was greeted on all sides as
"our next congressman. To an
outsider who observed the proceed
fngs, Saturday night, it looked as IL
the boom for Mr.. Runyon has been
fairly launched.
When Mr.. Runyon was seen about
the matter this morning he express
ed surprise that the doings at Pleas
ure Bay had reached this city SO
soon. He admitted, however, that
his name had been brought up In a
most unusual manner and that an
effort was made to get him to con-
sent to run, but he said he had not
given a definite answer. He said he
had not yet given the matter serious
