Not long ago I had q ship come Il
from California with o consignment

Of that CITY, took 1t up for me, H,

what should have gone up in two.
THE condition of the Rarital
river is shameful, and one of my frs
objects, If elected, will be to have /
dredged.
II want to see a channel at leas
thirty feet deep, dredged clear VI
Raritan bay. That is one of Peril
Amboy's greatest needs; also soutl
Amboy's; and its accomplishment
will make possible the establishment
Of Perth Amboy as one Of the great
est ports in the United States. This
of course, will be Of great value t.
New Brunswick when we get the
river cleaned out, and this would re
tan river being lined with great
manufacturing concerns. l am de-
termined to begin a campaign for
these Improvements at once If sent
to congress.
The Ship Canal.
LAS a member Of the Inland Wa
terways Association, l am, of course,
especially interested in the PROPOSE
ton to build a ship canal across the
state of New Jersey, and believe that
this important task should be under
taken at once, and especially accept
the pledge of the democratic plat
form to work for such federal legis-
lation as is necessary to make this
great movement, fostered by the
merchants and manufacturers Of this
state, an accomplished fact. The
magnitude of the value Of such an
inland waterway, not only to ship
ping generally, but to the state of
New Jersey and Its people especially,
needs no comment. The establish
ing OF this connecting link of an in
land waterway between New York
and Philadelphia across the state of
New Jersey, makes 1t all the more
that the existing water
Of this district be preserved and
improved.
Then there is Arthur Kill, with
Its tremendous shipping, which has
had all told but three or four hun
fred thousand dollars expended up
On 1t, while 1t is proposed to expend
So 100000 on the Ohio river, with
only a fraction OF the tonnage. i
Look at the ships passing and
repassing here on Raritan bay, and
.ook at the water front Of the Am
boys. All of this frontage could be
into docks. South Amboy /
has a water front from which the
water recedes hundreds of feet at
ow tide. This should be bulkhead-
ID and a channel be dredged out by
hydraulic pumps, which would send
he sediment over as filler.
Then there are the long neglect
ID Shrewsbury, Shark river, Tucker
.on Inlet. Barnegat bay, South river
and Toms river. all or which are
'hoaling SO that the cost of dredging
will be far more than IL a lit
lie work had been done each year to
Keep them clear. Take Barnegat for
Instance. The neglect of that bay is
nothing short Of criminal. The fish
ermen there live from that water,
and their livelihood is being taken
from them by the gradually filling
Up.
"And then I do not think the fish
ermen are sufficiently protected.
When they are out at sea and a
storm overtakes them, their only

Why, / was down along the Gulf
Coast not long ago on business, and
everywhere I found the waterways

well, how would you set about
doing it?"
How" is the question on which
many a candidate balks. But not
this one.
Why" he replied, FIRST I would
invite all the towns along our water
front to submit to me what they
wished In the way of harbor I'M
provement. Then l would person
ally visit each one and make my own
conclusions. And then have the en-
gineers of the War Department
make an inspection, and In this way
find u exactly what was needed
and what should be done. And then
l would everlasttngly kick until 1t
was done"
Can He Do 1t?
So now We have found out what
Mr.. Scully proposes to do. When
you hear him tell 1t, you are con-
cinced that he sincerely means what
he says, and honestly believes that
he can accomplish what he has
planned. We, the voters, must form
our own opinion of whether he real
ly can succeed. That he has made
a big success Of his business is some
enlightenment on this point. still we
know that political methods must
often be different from business
Thus 1t Is necessary to take
up the thread of Mr.. Scully's life
again and see what his rec
ord is In public life.
We left him, Geographically, as he
was going into business. 1t was
after this that he was a can
didate for assembly on the democra-
tic ticket, only to be beaten in the
general republican landslide of that
He served three years with
credit In the South Amboy Board of
then dropped out of sight
as a public official for a dozen years.
South Amboy became a city in
1908. The town had been backward
in growth and Its citizens thought
1t might do better as a ~full-fiedged
city. But after a few months Its
mayor, DR.. Ambrose Treganowan,
resigned, and affairs were in so up
set a state generally that progress
seemed further of than ever. Mr..
Scuiiy al chosen by council to fill
the unexpired term. Last November
was nominated by the democratsI
for reelection, and won by a vote
Of about 2 to l..
Then, as now, he set up a definite
platform of things he proposed do
ing. And he sent a message to the
city council, asking that his plat
form be carried out. They were
not trifing things, either, for a city
of the third class. ?
$4,000 For Sewers.
The new city was without sewers.
Mayor Scully thought it absurd that
this should be true of a community
of 5000 souls. He recommended a
bond issue of 100000 for sewers.
There was a section Of the city
Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-10-21

with poor water accommodations
When one tab was turned on In I
house, another was dry. Mayor
Scully asked for a larger main tc
this section.
South Amboy has q public dock,
The city La still paying interest on
the bonds which built 1t. But for
/ years Ii had been d~ecay1ng because
the city officials had not considered
it paid well enough to Justify re-
pairs. Mayor Scully said it was an
asset of the town and should be kept
in repair.
He said the fire and police depart
ments should be reorganized. 1t
doesn't need much explanation to
show what sized job that was.
There were other recommended
lions, but these were the most no.
table.
The Result.
What vas the result? Why, in
ten months Mayor Scully got the city
council to adopt every one of his rec
concentrations.
He started off with the
proposition. We know what a bond
ing suggestion is; what a red flag it
Is to wave In front of the taxpayer.
Here was a proposition to bond a
town with an assessed valuation of
some $4,000, 600, and a tax rate of
$3.50, for 100000. There was
some raising of Mortified hands in
South Amboy, you may be sure. But
now the sewers are going in, the tax
rate has dropped thirty-eight points,
and South Amboy is. unanimously
glad its Mayor won.
And so on down the line. The
mayor did not try to do everything
at once. He took up the details of
his program one at a time, and one
at a time they went through.
His Method.
His method was novel,f not
unique. He did not content himself
by writing messages. He made 1t
his business to be at each council
meeting, and he took advantage Of
the courtesy of the floor which was
him, urging the councilmen to follow
out his ideas. When council fol-
lowed the old, easy plan of referring
his propositions to committee. he
would ask the committee II 1t had
any objections to his attending It's
meetings. OF course the committee
uud hoAo anu ne WOulu c6S IudS Tie
really did meet and act
upon his plans. A favorable report
was sure to follow.
All of this makes up a pretty
strong case for Mr.. Scully. 1t may
read like putting things on pretty
thick; like laudation that is worked
up for campaign purpose. But there
isn't only democratic testimony.
You can go among the republicans
Of South Amboy for Its v~erilcation.
And In this connection 1t is worthy
of mention that some time before
Mr.. Scully was nominated for o n
gress, a delegation of prominent re-
publicans waited upon him and
urged him to run for mayor again,
assuring him that he would be un-
opposed, and would in all probable
ity be the candidate on the republic
can as we'll as the democratic ticket.
Well, there you have the demo-
cratic candidate. You know his OPP
ponent pretty well, or ought to, for
he has been your representative
these sixteen years, and It's up to
you to choose between them.
His Home Life.
A word more should be added
about Mr.. Scully in his home life. He
lives In a fine house at the foot of
Augusta street, South Amboy, with
grounds running right to the wa
ter's edge, with his family. He has
q charming wife and two children,
one a boy of sixteen, preparing at

Lawrenceyine for Princeton, and a
tiny daughter who came to bless the
6cully home one year ago. The
Scully home is 80 close to the water
that the salt spray must dash close
to its windows when the east wind is
strong. Indeed, when the tides are

ILLINOIS MINISTER WHO BE-
LIEVEs IN USING NEWS
PAPER SPACE.

Moline, ILL.,, June 1S.-A precedent in
the ministerial advertising world has
been established by the Rev, r. S.
Haney, pastor Of the Second Congre-
gational church of this city, who has
inserted a display advertisement in
the daily papers calling attention to
the fact that it was his business to
marry persons.
The Congregational minister always
has been known as a progressive ad"
vertiser, but his latest venture has
startled even his most intimate friends.
June brides, attention." in heavy
black type, is the way the advertise
ment is headed. BY way Of explana-
ton. the pastors ad continues:
Last year six couples called at my
house to be married while l was at
tending other weddings. If you will
please drop me letter stating when
and where you desire to be married 1
will try to make my plans conform to
yours. All communications will be
kept confidential"
What effect the advertisement Will
have on the other ministers Of the city
is a topic of considerable discussion.
1t is generally believed his step will
be censured by the Ministerial union,
Of which he is a member.

Lord g. THOMPSON have started suit

this manner the question as to the
validity of the sale will be settled
when the validity of title is passed
upon.

endeavor to show that the title is not
