Church Of New Brunswick, or Father
Cantwell. of Long Branch. would
take charge Of St. Mary's church

REYES WOULD
STAY ELECTION
Madero's Opponent Questions
Right of Suffrage.

City of Mexico, Aug. 31.-A post
ponement of the general election is the
latest move Of the friends of Genera.
Bernardo Reyes. 1t is charged thai
the country is not sufficiently settled
and prepared to vote.
IF the nation Is without guarantees
in October as it is now, the elections
should be postponed, for not to do so
would be a grave offense and the exer-
else Of the rights of suffrage would de-
generate tfto a bloody DRAMA" de-
clared General Reyes.
IF suffrage is to be guaranteed let
US have the elections, but if the hb-
erty of the voters is to be restrained
at the time Of casting their votes and
the liberty of the people is to be rent
by violent actions, then the elections
should be put off,"
These General Reyes declared are
his ideas subject to the principles pro
claimed by the revolution.
General Reyes spoke of the declara-
ton made by Vera Estanol to the
effect that the states have not been
legally divided into electoral districts,
saying that II true should come a post
ponement. Another reason produced
by the opponents Of October elections
rs the fact that many Maderists are
still under arms. General Reyes said
In referring to the armed Mader1sts
that 1t was notable that only the revo-
lutionists who have turned away from
the Mexican principles Of the revolu-
ton to follow Madero personally are
the ones for the most part who are
still under arms.
General Reyes said he believed the
matter Of postponing the elections
should should be decided In October
when the time appointed comes around
art is true" said Madero, that there
are armed Maderists. Many Of the
revolutionists when the struggle was
over went home and took their arms
with them. The Reyeists have more
arms than the Maderists, so they have
no COZ to complain. The Maderists
don't need arms; votes will be enough
for u.s."
AS to the declaration that the terri
tory has not been divided, Madero said
this was not the case, and could not
be used as an excuse for putting off
the elections. The division of the ter
ritory into electoral districts was made
at the time of the election Of the presi-
dent and vice president, who resigned
their posts on account of the demands
Of the revolution.

and restored to health by his four
teen months sojourn abroad, former
Senator Everttt Colby returned yes
terday ready for the fray as one of
the leaders of the progressive Re-
! publicans, and in expressing his de-
sire to get into the battle he paid
high tribute to Governor Wilson, of
whose great campaign and subse-
quent success he had kept in close
touch. Mr.. Colby declared that, af-
ter visiting almost every country In
the Old World, he had become con-
verified to the principle of the initia-
tive and referendum by study of
the question in Switzerland.
With some of the enthusiasm that
marked his great fight for the people
in Essex, he said; cts certainly
! great to be coming home to the kind
of a State New Jersey Is now. I have
received the home newspapers every
day, and l have followed with close
interest the story Of how New Jer-
sey has been made over I can hard

been accomplished. Take that Cor
rupt Practice act, for instance, I
have read every word of it, and it is
a wonder. Just think of an act like
that in New Jerseyl"

quick reply.

RAIN TIES Up
TROLLEY LINE
-Four Feet of Water on the
Tracks at South AmbOy.

The heavy downpour of rain this
week which yesterday developed in
to an ~unceasing fall which continued
all night and through the day, is
causing damage in almost every part
Of the city. 1t is hampering all
ear Of travel and particularly the
much-needed trolley service.
Floods and small washouts pre-
vented any trolley traffic on Jersey
Central and Public Service line be-
tween this city and South Amboy for
a time today. Floods along the Am
bOy-Metuchen road in places from
Rogan's corner to Metuchen have up
set the schedule of the Public Service
Railway Company on its line between
this city and New Brunswick. Many
receiving basins about the city are
blocked up and others r unable to
carry the drainage causing foods Of
streets. Cellars In every part of the
city are being flooded, particularly in
unfinished buildings on which work
is at a standstill.
The rain is welcomed by the City's
water department because the sup
ply at Runyon Is running short. The
storage system supply has now been
increased to such large proportions
that the city will be well supplied for
several months to come, 1t is be-
lieved. 1t is estimated that 81 of an
inch fell yesterday and that figure
was swelled considerably by the
downpour during the night and to-
day. Indications are rain will keep
falling all day and perhaps to-mor-
row. The mercury went as low as
55 degrees yesterday.
Water Four Feet Deep.
A food about four feet deep exist
ed under the Pennsylvania railroad
tracks in South Amboy where the
cars run under this morning. Near
there the water washed sand and
gravel down on the trolley track so
that service between this city and
South Amboy had to be suspended
until 10 o'clock. District Superin-
tendent of Trolleys Van Duersen was
out with men this morning insan at
tempt to clear the track of the Pub
lie Service between this city and Me
tuchen.
Receiving basins are blocked
along State street, Smith street and
various other parts of the city. A
basin in front of the high school
property is blocked up. The drain
age from the high school property
and from State street is forced down
through a large quantity Of building
material to a basin at Smith and
State streets. There is an unusually
big food at Hartford street and
Buckingham avenue, in which the po-
lice report Philip Kutcher's furniture
is floating up and down Hartford
street. The street commissioner was
notified by the police today to re-
move the furniture.
Limbs of Trees Fall.
Limbs of trees have become wa
ter soaked and are falling on side
walks about the city. The police re-
ceived a report yesterday that q
large limb was about to fall from a
tree on High street which endanger-
ed the lives of pedestrians. The
street department has been notified
of this by the police.

places or not. The car was larger
than the ordinary trolley, and at

BR0DHEAD IN
UNION FIGHT
Issues Denial to Story Pub
Iished in Smiths Paper.

Plainfield, Aug. 31.-Calvin e.
Brodhead, of this city, who is one of
the candidates for the nomination for
sheriff on the Democratic ticket is
sued a statement this morning con-
corning a story published in the
Newark Morning Star which set
forth that Mr.. Brodhead after declin-
ing to become a candidate for the
Senatorial nomination was later in
duced by General Collins and Con-
gresham William e. Tuttle to seek
the sheriff nomination, while Robert
McAdams, of Elizabeth, sought the
nomination for Senator. This, SO
the story goes, is an attempt on the
part of Collins and his friends to de-
feat George Schlotterer, of Eliza
beth, who is also an a~spirant for the
shrievalty nomination, and to land
McAdams for senator and Brodhead
for sheriff with the further prospect
of having M. C. Adams appointed
prosecutor when G. Addison Swifts
term expires.
Mr.. Brodhead said: 81 am seek
ing the nomination as a candidate
for sheriff at the request of a large
number of personal friends and Gen
eral Collins is In no way responsible
for my candidacy.
Il know nothing Of Mr.. McAdams
desire to be made prosecutor. MOI
have l taken any part In deals OF
this character.
81 have no objection to Mr.. Schlot,
terer or anybody else trying to get
the nomination and if he is success
full in the primaries, he will find nc
stronger supporter than L.
"Those who inspired the story III
the Newark Star did SO for the pur,
pose Of trying to stir up fractional
strife and to make 1t appear that
am allied with n faction as against
another, but this it not the case.
Il am absolutely independent in
my aspirations for the nomination as
/ expect to be If nominated and
elected. My course in the Legisla.
ture should at least convince the peo-
pie that l am not a political trickster
or that l am inspired by any other
than proper motives.
80 far as I am concerned it
makes no difference to ne how
many men seek the nomination for
sheriff, or any of the other offices,
neither do I care what part Of the
county they come from.
"What all good Democrats should
do is to suppress selfish motives and
let the best men win In the prim-
aries then support them at the polls
on election day. Mr.. Brodhead fur
Their stated that he had never been
urged to drop out of the sheriff's
race to seek a position on the Coun-
ty Tax Board to succeed F. H. An
drews, of this city, whose term ex-
pires this year, as stated in the story
to which Mr.. Brodhead refers"
