P. ALLEN SMITH
ON BALLOTS MAY
BEAT I. A. SMITH
Queer Mix-up in Orange Follows
ing Error by City Clerk
GanO.

Following the discovery yesterday
that a mixup had occurred in the Or
ange ballots for the First ward be-
cause of City Clerk Willett b. Gano's
designation of the nominee for Common
Council on the Democratic ticket as 'P.
Allen Smith," Mr.. Smith, in signing
his petition as nominee before the pri-
mary, having used his initials, P. A.
Smith, there was trouble aplenty.
my assistant in office asked Mr..
Smith to sign his Christian name" said
Mr.. Gano today, when asked for the
reasons why the nominee was permitted
to use initials in making out his petit
ton. HI said that he was generally
known by the initials P. A. Smith and
declined to furnish his full name
well, why did you change the name
on the official ballot?" Mr.. Gano was
asked.
"a telephoned request reached this
Office" replied Mr.. Gano, and l believe
the party asking information was from
the country clerks office. The voice
asked that the Orange office change the
name to include a Christian name"
WELL persisted the STAR reporter,
"why did you give the anne Allen?g
81 once attended a social gathering
of q prominent Irish organization at
which Mr.. Smith was introduced as p.
Allen Smith, and furthermore that IL
the name on his business establishment.
1 made one mistake; I failed to notify
Mr.. Smith of the request for a change
of his NAME"
The trouble Is the first in the history
of MI. Gano's administration, n he
was very much disturbed over it. Tt
avoid any expense to those involved he
has offered to pay the expense of the
changed paster as required.
Mr.. Smiths experience was the sub
ject of some activity today among the
politicians. Hugh J.. Brady, the Re-
publican nominee for the Council
against Mr.. Smith, was formerly repre-
sentative of the ward in the Council,
and the vote between the two men is
expected to be close. The Democrats
today issued the following circular:
MEAN REPUBLICAN TRICKERY."
"yoters of the First ward:
Your attention is called to a despic-
able attempt of the Republican party
t defeat P. A. Smith, Democratic cam
diaate for alderman.
1.-THE law requires that the name Of
the candidate as signed to the petition
nominating him shall be printed on the
official ballots. Mr.. Smiths name should
be printed on the ballots P. A. Smith
and he so printed the pastors 'istrib-
uted by him. His name appears on the
ballots P. Allen Smith.
The Republican city clerk admits
having deliberately changed the name
without authority. 1t is unfair to Mr..
Smith. 1t is a fraud On you. See that
you use paster reading P. Allen Smith
only.

Robinson HITS
DETRACTORS Of
OLD WEST ORANGE
Former Town Counsel Deplores
Bitterness and ISLANDERS of
Recent Campaign.

Winding up a lively Democratic cam
paign in West Orange. there will bs
meetings tonight in the First and Sec
ond wards. Former Town Counsel
Simeon H. Robinson, of West Orange,
made an interesting talk in the Pleas
antdale School on Saturday night, and
Tax Collector O'Connor, Town Clerk
McDonough, former Supervisor John F.
otterbein n Assembly nominees
spoke. Mr. Robinson said:
1t Is not right or proper that those
IN charge of the administration of the
affairs of any municipality should. for
the purpo of securing credit for them
selves, try to undermine the financial
standing Of the town they represent.
For instance, from the printed and
spoken statements Of our
one would imagine they found the
finance of West Orange in bad shape
when they o control, when the con-
trary was The fact. The appraised yalu-
alton of the f~irehouses, town hall and
other town properties was shown, in
fact, to be $4,000 in excess Of liabilities
they represent, and. instead OF any
deficit existing, the audit showed that
there was an ~unexpended balance of
about $4,000 remaining In the treas
urer's hands from the appropriations
for various departments raised by
taxation.
Far more important than party poll
tics is the good name of our town. How
can we expect people to come here to
live and build homes for themselves
e false and misleading statements
are thrown broadcast by people in au-
thority for purely selfish purposes,
Who would move into the town if he be-
lieved such things true? No one should
so far forget himself as to put individ-
ual or party interests before those OF
the town he has sworn on his oath Of
Office TO represent.
IF such things were true, If only they
had a color of fact. it would be bad
enough, but when there Is no ground on
which to base them a wrongful act has
been done. The town itself has been
damaged. n any one doing such
a thing must On the one hand be mighty
careless as to what he says. or perhaps
on the other have mighty little at
stake.
1.-THE town is not Ind has not been
In anything but the best financial con
dition; there never has been anything
but absolute honesty displayed In its
government. We are proud of the good
old town. but we are not proud of its
detractors. In days TO come We will
be prouder of 1t yet as the years go on.
when those who now tried to better
themselves at the expense Of its good
name Will be politically forgotten.
This campaign has been conducted
by the Democrats with a view to re-
calling conditions which formerly OBJ
tanned in the town, and they are per-
fectly satisfied to have voters compare
their present tax bills with the sums
they formerly were called upon to
satisfy with the sums they are now
asked to give to support a Republican
change in government. We are willing
to abide by their ZONES decisions

GR|NSTED DENIES
He IS OPPOSED
TO LABOR UNIONS
First Ward. Orange, Nominee for
Council Disclaims Charges
of Opponents.

Following an effort to enbarrass ".
Stanley Grinsted. nominee for Common
Council in the First ward, Orange, the
nominee made a speech before the Or
ange Democratic City Central Commit
tee Saturday night in which he denied
several statements calculated to hurt
him. He said:
1T appears that there has been a
persistent attempt made to defeat me
for election next Tuesday, by proclaim
ing me as n opposed to labor unions;
and it has seemed adyisab BILE to state my
position. I have never been, and am
not now, and hope l never shall be,
opposed to labor unions or organiza-
TONS.
CAS- a member of the Board of Edu-
cation, I had the pleasure of being
one of those who succeeded in obtain
ing an addition to III Cleveland Street
School, and when the bids for the
heating of that school were opened, ii
was found that the lowest responsible
bidder was in Newark, and employed
none but union men; but as we all de-
sired to give the work to Orange union
men, in company with DR.. Plummer,
the chairman of the committee, l went
to Newark and ~endeavored to persuade
the employer not to bring his union
men, but to employ union men from
Orange. This he refused to do, in JUS
tice to his wi employees.
Accordingly the Board of Education
awarded the contract to this Newark
employer, and his union men and our
Orange union men of the various
trades worked together peaceably and
completed the addition. which has given
to every child of school age in this
ward a seat, a condition which had not
existed for a long time. -
Il will state here that my faith is in
the intelligence of the voters and
mothers and children of the Fifth ward
of Orange, which Is of too high a stand
ard to allow the wool to be pulled over
their eyes.
Gentlemen, / stand on my record,
made while on the Board of Education,
as an advocate of union labor and as
an advocate of fair play. and if 1 am
sent to sit in the City Council 1 will
go without strings or collars"

epstein DEFENDS HIS
PARKWAY SCHOOL SITE.

To the Editor of the Newark Star;
At a recent meeting of the citizens of
East Orange held at the Ashland School
two questio.is were definitely and de-
cisively settled.
The first one settled was: That it be
the sense of the meeting that the Arl-
ington avenue site selected by the
Board of Education for the new high
school be abandoned. The other ques-
ton, which was carried by a stronger
vote than the first. was that a new high
school be built at once.
Insrecommending the purchase of the
Parkway site for the new high school
I am carrying out the wishes of the
people as expressed in that vote. The
Walnut street site cannot be had with
out condemnation, which. according to
the opinion of some of4our best at
torneys. may take from six months to
two years, some even claiming it will
take five years. The committee on sites
looked over every available site in the
city and selected the Parkway for the
following reasons:
First-Because we can acquire it al
once without condemnation proceed
ings, and begin work at once on the
much-needed high school.
6econd4Because We a acquire a
site with a frontage of 1865 feet at a
cost Of $4,000, as against a site oval
nut street, of 240 feet frontage at cost
of from s43, 900 to $50, 000-the higher
figure being dependent upon the cost of
litigation incident to condemnation.
In order to contradict a statement
given to the press recently. let me say
that 1 never, directly or Indirectly,
pledged myself to vote for the Walnut
street site. I promised to abide by the
will of the people, and in advocating
the Parkway site, I am carrying out
that pledge. Very truly yours,
(signed) j. NJ epstein.
