PETITION AMENDED TO
CONFORM WITH LAW
School Commissioners De-
feated at Primaries Gives
Reasons for Candidacy.

School Commissioner George
Moore will be candidate for re-
election on an Independent ticket In
the fourth ward next Tuesday. The
county clerk gave orders this morn
ing for the printing of special tickets
for him. The tickets will be headed
Independent Republican Party" and
will contain only Mr.. Moore's name,
together with--as on all the ballots,
the headings of the Offices to be ALL
ed and the two questions to be de-
cided, Wis the election of q school
board at large and compensation for
members of the Board of Aldermen.
1t would not surprise students of
fourth ward politics If the stand
which Moore has taken should re-
suit In the election of a democratic
school commissioner in the fourth
ward Mr.. Moore claims that many
of his friends have pledged him their
support, while Christian Anderson,
the regular republican candidate, ex-
poets to be favored with many votes.
Prominent politicians declare that
the split may cause Anderson's de-
feat.
AS was told in the NEWS, Mr..
Moore, who mas served several terms
in the Board of Education, was de-
feated at the primaries for a renom-
ination by Mr.. Anderson. Moore
declared that he had been thrown
down and decided to run independ-
emily. He got out an independent
petition and filed 1t with the city
clerk, who sent 1t to the county
clerk. The latter returned it for Mr..
Moore to amend, as 1t was incorrect.
The county clerk said he would con-
slider it filed, and that Moore had
until five days before election to
make the necessary amendments.
Petition is Amended.
Mr.. Moore amended the petition
yesterday afternoon by filing a sub
stitute with Mr.. LaRoe. The city
clerk sent 1t Immediately to Mr.. Con-
ger who, on finding it correct, gave
the order this morning for the inde-
pendent ballots
Mr.. Moore said today that he was
confident OF making a good run. He
added that the reason he was rum
ming was because he had received a
"throw-down" in his own ward. IF
they had asked me to withdraw /
would have done so.' he said, but
they didn't do that.

.SILzER MAKES
REPLY TO HICKS
Tells Where He Stands on
Many Questions and Ex-
plains His Vote.
WHERE DOES HICKS STAND

New Brunswick, Oct. 2S.-The dem
ocratic club of the fifth ward held its
second rally of the campaign in Rob
bins hall on French street, last night
at o'clock, and both city and county
candidates were present.
Senator Silzer devoted his time to
answering the speech made by his OPP
ponent, Judge Hicks, in a speech at
Woodbridge Monday night.
! am glad indeed, 2 said Senator
Silzer, that Judge Hicks has at last
undertaken to criticize my record That
is perfectly proper, and legitimate cam
paigning. 1t is what the people want.
The only objection l have to make
is that the judge, who know that was
the unanimous choice Of my party,
waited until the last week of the cam.
paign before making these statements,
for he must have known that the an
swer to what he said could not reach
everybody before election day.
s'Of course, my record win not be
made this week; It has been made dur
ing the last three years, and the ex-
pressions of the newspapers made by
men who were on the ground, especially
republicans, should carry much
weight. -
Senator Silzer then took up the inn
portant bills mentioned by Judge Hicks.
He said he was opposed to the constitu-
tional amendments. He offered as
substitute a resolution calling for
constitutional commission.
The School Fund.
On the question of schools Senator
Silzer said he was opposed, to taking
money from the state, school fund to
meet regular state expenses.
On liberation for New Brunswick,
Senator silzer voted for the. bill in
1908 and again in 1909.
On the subject of re-valuation, the
senator said he favored an honest re-
valuation. He declared that he did
not feel that with the game Of poll
ties that was being played by Governor
Fort and his opponents, that the sub
ject would be fairly dealt with.
In addition to this, = the senator
went on, :" / was opposed to the gov
ernor fixing the salary of these men at
any sum he pleased. This, the legisla-
ture should have done.
What is the resultf The result is
that the three valuera are each drawing
81 900 q month. They are costing $4O,-
600 this year, and the report which
they were to make in September is not
yet in.
