PERTH AMBoY, Nov. 5.-Those
thirteen votes which John Franklin
Fort received as his majority in Mid
dlesex county in 1907 won't be found
on the Republican side next Tuesday
night when the balance sheet is struck,
but instead at least q majority of hf-
teen hundred will appear for Woodrow
Wilson. Democratic leaders of Middle
sex have only one opinion in this mat
ter, and thai the Republicans are
nightly scared is clearly evident by
the desperate measures they are TAX
ing to get out every vote throughout
the county. 1t is said there will be
plenty of cash in the hands OF the Re
publican leaders of Middlesex to be
placed where it will do the most good
for cash transactions next Tuesday.
Congressman Benjamin f. Howell,
who is running for his ninth consecu-
tive term, and who is known as a
stand-pat Cannon Republican n who
voted for every schedule of the AID
rich-Payne tariff which even President
Taft has said must still be further re-
vised, is having the hardest fight of
his entire life to hold his district, and

of South Amboy will win over the
veteran congressman.
Scully has made an energetic can

a large proportion of the workingmen

estimate of all working men. Howell
is pinning his faith on a majority Of
a thousand in Ocean county, but there
are Indications that there will be a
great deal of independent voting in
ocean county this year, and it is
doubtful if Mr.. Howell will get the
majority he is anticipating there. At
any rate, the Democrats take a very
rosy view of the congressional situation
in the third district, and there will be
no great surprise if on next Wednes-
day morning Mr.. Scully is found to
have a good majority over Ho"eil.
Some place it at 1,500.

Perth Amboy is a centre of many in
dustries and there was great curiosity
regarding the number of workingmen
Woodrow Wilson would face and the
character Of the speech which he would
deliver. 1t was generally conceded that
the speech he made here would have a
great deal to do with his majority in
Niddlesex. His u~tterances in this re-
spect won every man who heard him.
