DISCUSS THE
CONFERENCE
Politicians Much Interested
in the Story Concerning
County ColIectorship
MAY BE HANEY'S HOUSE

The account of the conference be-
tween republican politicians at
which an effort was made to get
Freeholder William T. Stacey to
vote against the reelection of II.
Raymond Groves for county collec-
tor, which was published in the
EVENING NEWS yesterday, was the
subject of conversation in political
circles throughout the county yester-
day afternoon and last night 1t is
still being generally discussed
1t is said that one OF the freehold
ers has agreed to be sick" and I'M
able to attend the meeting when
Groves successor is chosen and that
another freeholder is on the fence
The supposition is, then, that if Mr.
Stacey will only flop Groves can be
beaten.
Some of the knowing ones say
that the story as published in the
EVENING NEWS yesterday was cor.
rect as a whole, but some of the de-
tails were wrong. One of the errors
it Is stated, is that the conference
was held at Mr.. Haney's house, IN
High street, instead Of at Mr.
Staceys house. That such confer
ence was held and that things
transpired about as was told in the
EVENING NEWS yesterday is gener.
ally admitted, however, whether
they happened at the home of Mr.
Stacey or Mr.. Haney.

P. F. DAILY TOLD
OF HIS OFFICE
Surrogate Of This County
Describes Work to Mems
Club at Simpson Church.
REFRESHMENTS SERVED

Surrogate Peter T. DAILY, of New
Brunswick, gave an interesting talk to
the Men g Club in the lecture room OF
Simpson NJ. f. church last night and
after he had spoken for an hour and a
half on the work of his Office, answer
ed many questions at the request OF
members.
Mr.. DAILY, with President Fletcher OF
the club, was entertained prior to the
meeting at the home of w. Parker Run
yon, and did not arrive until after the
session had been called to order by Vice
President Franz Nelson, who presided
in the absence of Mr.. Fletcher.
After tho routine business had been
transacted and Christmas offering
taken for the Salvation Army, Mr.. Neil
son introduced Mr.. DAILY, who was re
ceived with applause.
The speaker told about the proba ting
of wills and the administering of es
tates and gave general idea of the
duties Of the surrogate. He gave many
anecdotes in connection with the Office
and the hearty laughter that followed
proved that the audience was being
capitally entertained.
Mr.. Daily said that the books in the
office dated back to 1860 and he told Of
a will which was probated many years
ago and which is still on record. The
viii, it seems, was made by loca
man named Compton whose son married
an Irish girl. The father never liked
his son S wife and, when he died, he
left viii which gave his son John tive
shillings with which TO buy halter Il
hang his wife.
After the conclusion of Mr.. DAILY 4
address refreshments were served by
the commissary committee, in charge Of
William Woglom, chairman. Mr.. DAILY
whose address, was greatly appreciated

ers committee.

meeting will be is not known, but Mr.
Harrington has several excellent orator.

in, which leaves about Ss7 zoo still out
standing As interest at the rate of

Criticism About
Admission of
Poor Patients.
MOTION PASSED
Alderman Cannon Brings the
Subject Up and Alderman
Dalton Tells Of Injured
Boy Who Lay Waiting
for Staff Doctor.

When the payment of bills came
up last night, the aldermen took a
peremptory stand regarding the city
hospital. AS a result, the sum of
$1,000 was set aside for the hospital
only on condition that the prevailing
method of admitting patients only
on the "say-so" of a member of the
staff Of the institution be somewhat
altered.
The subject was brought up by
Alderman Cannon, who said that he
understood that the hospital appro-
priation of $500 should be made
conditionally. 1t was his under
standing that the citys INDECENT poor
should be cared for at the rate of $6
q week up to the amount of 81, 500
and that reports should be made to
the city regarding that feature of
the hospital work.
Alderman-at-Large Voorhees, said
that he understood that the poor
were intended, by the original action
some years ago, to be taken in at $6
a week. Mr.. Cannon stated that he
had been told that some patients had
been turned away.
Striking statements were made by
Alderman Dalton, who said that he
remembered when the appropriation
was $500 and only $400 was report
ed for as having been spent for the
care of the poor. He told Of one
case not very long ago when an in
jured boy lay in Parisen's drug store
for long time in precarious con-
dition while waiting for staff doc
tor to take him to the hospital.
Every city official should be able
to take a person to the institution, y
said Mr.. Dalton, 'as we'll as officers. .
A motion that the $1,000 be de-
livered only when a report is pre-
sented by the hospital authorities as
TO the value of the services rendered
in the above direction, was unani
mOnSlY adOnted

HOSPITAL METHODS UNDER FIRE
AT MEETING OF THE ALDERMEN
VOTING MACHINES IN GROWING
FAVOR THROUGHOUT COUNTRY
Division Of Elections of Secretary Of States Office Re-
ports in Favor of Their Use--EWs of Ballots.

Trenton, Dec. 22:-The recently
established Division of Elections of
the secretary Of states Office has
made its first report to Governor
Fort discussing generally the sub

upon the uses and abuses Of the bal

chimes
I'm rapidly growing communities,
where the personnel of the electorate
is continually changing" says the
report, "and where the desire on the
part of selfish interests to corrupt
the ballot is great, simple ballot Is
found entirely inadequate. Indeed,
it may be laid down as an invariable
rule with regard to the paper ballot
that the degree of safety is in direct
proportion to the complexity of the
ballot.
Perth Amboy evening news. [volume] (Perth Amboy, N.J.) 1903-1959, 1908-12-22

Although no ballot has yet been
devised which under certain circum-
stances may not be dishonesty ma
nipulated, yet those least capable OF
manipulation are those which are
most complex and most difficult fol
the voter to cast.
Without doubt the greatest vice
connected with the New Jersey bal
lot Is that they are allowed outside
OF the polling place. 1t is in this
way that the gate is thrown wide
open to bribery. Year by year brib-
cry is becoming more and more de-
pendent upon the financial ability oi
the bribe g1ver.
THE inadequacy of the present
plan of primary registration should
not be longer overlooked. The pres.
ent primary laws provide that pri.
