COTTON PLANT
SHUTS DOWN

The Textile Company which has
been manufacturing cotton out of
rags in the plant of the New Jersey
Portland Cement Company at the
foot of Charles street suspended
operations on Saturday. Lack of
orders for the product was today
declared to be the cause of the shut

for the time being and were told
they would be notified when again
wanted. The cement company sus-
pended operations some time ago
and now the plant lies idle.

VOTERS URGED TO
VISIT POLLS EARLY
CONTINUED from paxe l.,

Guilty. A straight" ticket Is q thing
of the past and the voter will un-
doubtedly exercise more OF his own
opinion tomorrow. The organiza-
ton men, however, believe many
solid votes will be recorded this
Wagers Are Made.
Several bets have been placed
with the Democratic money In album
dance. No even money pets have
been recorded on the ~shrieValty race,
which tends to prove. the Democrats
declare, the certainty of the election
of their candidate, Mayor Albert
Bollschweiler, of this city, over John
Hanson, the Republican nominee,
also of Perth Amboy. The bets re-
corded strongly favor the Jefferson
ian party.
Fire Chief Patrick ]. Kicks has
placed 800 to $25 that Mayor
Bollschweiler will be elected, and
he says he is out hunting for the
man who wants to wager that Han
son will carry the first, fourth and
sixth wards in this city. Bets have
been made that the city vote will be
counted by two O'Clock Wednesday
morning, the second ward vote will
be tailed at eleven o'clock Tuesday
night, that Joselson will win, and
that Clapton will get in by 1000
majority. Several wagers have been
laid that the entire Democratic AS
sembly ticket will be elected.
Both Sides Optimistic.
Both parties are confident, al
though many of the Republican poll
ticians eoncede the defeat of Candi-
date Hanson and two OF the free
holder candidatee. They believe
however, the rest of the ticket stands
an equal chance, and that several
surprises will be sprung before the
curtain falls IN tomorrow's tragedy
for one party or the other. The
Democrats expected a clean sweep,
with his honor going in with bells
on and one or two of the other can
didates finishing under the wire a
winner by a hose.
Evening News bulletins.
AS In the past, the EVENING
NEWS will give bulletin service in
front of its office, in State street,
and will also publish an extra early
"Wednesday morning. In this man
ner the EVENING NEWS expects to
furnish its many readers with the
latest returns up to a late hour in

front of the office Tuesday night will
be kept In good humor by returns
from the county and state. 1t is
expected that by midnight the final
result will be approximately known
and but one ON two changes noted
when the complete and official vote
is ~tabulated.
