NEGRO CANDIDATE FOR
COUNCIL IN ASBURY.
Trom The NEWS correspondent-J

Trenton, Oct. 13s-Billy Deyer-
SECRETARY of the Democratic
state committee, relates that the Re-
publican leaders of his home town
Asbury Park-are much perplexed
by a black political cloud that is now
lowering in their midst. In other
words, Billy says that In the first
ward of Asbury Park the gentleman
who captured the Republican Coun-
eilmanic nomination was a colored
gentleman-one Edward C.. Bur-
CESS. And, according to Deyereaux,
who is nothing IL not truthful when
he talks about his friends, the ene-
my, great is the tribulation of AS
bury Park Republicans thereat. The
shore town has a big Republican
vote among negroes, but no negro
ever elected to high office in
Asbury Park, although there have
been colored ~eonstables and colored
justices of the peace and eoiored
policemen. How to hold the coiored
vote of the West Side has hitherto
been a problem confined to the Re-
publican side of the question, and
has usually been met with a perfect
understanding of what to do and
how to do it, but this year Burgess
and the people OF his race sprung a
surprise on the Republican machine,
and demanding representation In the
council. Burgess was nominated.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
In your report of the meeting OF
the Young Mems Republican Club
in this city. on the evening Of the
18th inst, Mr.. Wilson, candidate for
Freeholder on the Republican tick
ct, is quoted as saying, in a speech
on that occasion, that a large por-
tion of Smith street, State street,
Amboy avenue, New Brunswick v Q
niue and Brace avenue are county
roads, and are often In need of new
surface, yet little attention Is paid
to them by the present Board of
Freeholders.
If Mr.. Wilson is correctly quoted
he must have very little regard for
the Intelligence of his audience In
making such deliberate assertions
knowing, as he does, the direct con
trary to be the case. The real facts
are these, (and they are we'll known
to every one who has occasion to
use these roads for some years
past):
When the present Board of Free
holders obtained control of the
county's affairs they found almost
all the roads in the county in a de-
plorable condition, caused presume
bly, by neglect of former boards.
These gentlemen, constituting the
present board, looked the situation
squareiy in the face and determining
to overcome those conditions even
with the limited means at their dis
posal. They found that instead of
resurfacing the roads had to be
practically rebuilt. AS soon as the
weather permitted the first year af-
ter assuming Office they started to
rebuild, fremember I am speaking
OF the territory within q radius of
six or seven miles from this city,,
1.-THE Amboy-Metuchen road which Is
completed from this city TO the Me
tuchen borough line. When that
was done New Brunswick avenue
was begun and finished to the city
line. Then work was begun on Am
boy avenue and that ~thoroughfare Is
all but completed from Its junction
with New Brunswick avenue to Spa
Springs, from which place 1t is in
course of construction to Wood
bridge, and SO on to Union county
line. Smith street has been paved
with Annette from the car barns to.
Rogans r and upper State
street Will He tOulplStSu DtioiC eh@
end of this season. As for Brace
avenue, 1t Is yet in control OF thu
street department OF this city, and
the Board of Freeholders have no
jurisdiction over 1t as yet. You viii
therefore see that every road leading
into this city, with the exception OF
upper State street, which will be
done In a month or so, Is in first
class condition; and all this has
been accomplished in the short space
of time this present board has been
in charge of affairs. And, further
more, it has been done and handled
in a business-like, intelligent and
economic manner as If it was done
for a psi7Tate individual or corpora
ton, ana not a dollar expended but
was made to perform the function
sor which 1t was intended.
e$t ill becomes any person, much
less a person who seeks the suffrage
of decent people, to deliberately mis-
represent facts and to do SO is rot
the way to gain the confidence of
the people.

PROCTOR'S HAS
A GOOD SHOW

Beaumont's ponies, billed as the
headliner at Proctor's theater this
week, is all that and then some.
They are without doubt the best
trained and handsomest little ponies
ever seen on the stage. They go
through a series OF marches, dances,
and a military drill that makes one
~astonished at the wonderful fnteHi-
gence of these animals. One little
fellow does about everything but
talk. This act, dear to the hearts or
children, nevertheless Won the in
slant favor and appreciation of the
adult, as witnessed by the tremen-
duous applause that followed the
fall of the curtain.
Miss Frances Brooks, in a sketch
called "The Girl in the Herald"
greatly pleased. Miss Brooks her
self a clever little actress, has got
a very good supporting company.
The plot is we'll worked UP and held
the interest from start to finish.
Miss Ollie Gilbert came next, and
established herself as a hit right on
the reel. Miss Gilbert is not only
very pretty, and graceful, but has
a delightful voice. Her songs are
new anu Catchy anu III dAdleiVA 5hS
made several changes of costume
which greatly enhanced the beauty
of her act.
Smith, voelk and Croner, billed
as a eRathskeller Act" introduce
some mighty fine singing and rat
ling good piano playing. Their
comedy il original and high class
This act makes one wish there were
like them. That they made a
tremendous hit as proven by the
number of recalls which were the
real genuine thing, and when they
introduced in one OF their songs the
name of the mayor. they had no rea-
son to complain of want of applause.
One OF the biggest hits was a song
by the trio, called BLESS Your
Ever Lovin' Little Heart.
Montrose e Alden, q man and
woman, have a bright, breezy, mu-
steal sklt that won favor at once.
Their opening is new and original,
and the complete change OF costume
in q basket got a good hand. Their
songs and dialogue are excellent.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 6.-The route
along which President Taft will thread
his way for $4,000 miles was definite
ly mapped yesterday in the executive
Offices and the penciled line runs
through "a states, while over 100 cit
les are red-dotted, showing pauses for
speeches on tariff, reciprocity, arbi-
tration, conservation and Alaska.
The presidents trip will begin at
the South station in Boston on the
18th and finish at Washington on No
vember l, in time to hear the verdict
from some of the states In the cleo
ton six days later
The president heads straight for
Michigan, pausing only a day or two
in New York and Pennsylvania From
Michigan the route leads into Illinois,
and then through Missouri, Kansas,
Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming,
Utah. Idaho, Washington Oregon, Cal
ifornia,. Montana, South Dakota, Min
nesota, Wisconsin and finally to Chi
cago, Pittsburg and Washington. In
five states he makes no stops.
The longest jump on the trip is 1872
miles from Los Angeles to Salt Lake
City while the president will seldom
go more than 20 or 80 miles without
stopping to say word either at some
local hall or from the rear platform
of his car.
1t is expected that several million
persons will hear the presidents voice
or at least catch a glimpse of the
presidential smile.
