REPUBLICANS
IN THIS CITY
VERY BITTER.
Action Of Theodore Strong,
County Leader Causes Even
Friends tor Turn.
IGNORED THIS CITY IN
DISTRIBUTING FUNDS
Republicans in This City Unit
ing in Movement TO ReOr-
ganize Against Strong.

The bold, defiant manner In
which Theodore Strong turned down
the republicans in Perth Amboy has
done more to unite that party In this
city than anything that has hap
pened since the revolt against the
bossism OF Strong began three years
ago. But while the republicans are
talking Of getting together. 1t is a
harmony that is bitterly opposed to
Strong and his machine. Friend
and foe alike, today, are condemn
Ing his tactics and all declare that
Perth Amboy, at least, cannot
stand for such a leader.
1t is common report that Senator
john Kean made a~liberal contrihu-
tion to the county campaign fund.
This money was turned over to
Theodore Strong, 1t is said. as coun-
ty leader. When the Perth Ainboy
republicans went to New Brunswick
to get the money to nteet the ex-
penses in this city they were turned
down. 1t Isl said that Ahey could not
get In touch with Strong at all, not
even by telephone III was plain
that the Strpng machine was going
to ignore Perth AHboy as If this
city was not in the county, thinking
he could overcome gthe vote here by
his majoritIest elsewhere.
Local republicans also heard that
Strong had sent word to ell his
workers to sacrifice everything to
save w. H. CkJackson, his nominee
for county CLERK 1t made no diff
ference to Strong what friends 9TH
ers might have on the ticket,
Htrong'9 instructions were that they
must drop them In the interest OF
his own man His selflshness and
true character became apparent to
even those who have always stood
by him. They began to see where
Strong ceased to be leader and
was only boss.
Already the republican leaders
are talking OF recrganizing the party
in this city with entire new men in
charge. Both Strong and Carson
will be utterly ignored II the plan
being discussed is carried out. Never
before has the feeling against
Strong been so bitter In this city as
it is today. Not a man can be found
who Will defend his action and near
ly all are united In the determine
tion that the republicans OF Perth
Amboy must organize without him.
While nothing definite has been
done as yet, it is certain that as far
as Strong Is concerned Perth Amboy
is lost to him forever and the
breach In the republican camps is
opened wider than ever 1t is ad-
mitted on all sides that the county
will continue in democratio hands as
long as Strong poses as leader. and
the local city government can never
be regained by the republicans until
the people are assured that Strong
and his henchmen have been ousted
for good.

NEWS extra, except that they seem
to indicate that Freeholder Dey, of
South Amboy, has been reelected
and Garret Brodhead, of this city,
defeated. AS thorough a canvass as
can be made until the County Board

Brodhead received In his own city
that defeated him.
Comptroller Ten Brock, republi-
can, was defeated by James Rhodes,
democrat, and the entire democratic
excise board was victorious. Rich
ard Henderson is a likely candidate
for chairman Of the board.

largest pluralities ever rolled up

secure exceeded all expectations.
