POLIT POT
IN ME- TUCHEN
Republicans Split and DEM
oCrats Are Confident.
,pectal to the EVENING NEWS.

Metuchen, Sept. 19:-This town is
very far from being at sea concern
ing candidates for the m~ayOralty.
While it is true that only one petit
ton has been filed for mayor, that
of the present incumbent, it is equal
= I~.-~~--o-
a candidate. On account of the spir-
tied fight for the adoption Of COM
mission government the Democrats
and q faction of Republicans opposed
to Mayor Wilson did not file petit
tons. They argued that the only
advantage of a petition was that it
insured the printing Of the name on
the primary ticket and they argued
that this was no particular advan-
| tage as the primaries are open to all
the people and anybody can seek
nomination. Certain leaders of the
dissatisfied Republicans and the
Democrats do not deny that they had
hoped to see commission government
win and were perhaps a little over
confident that the measure would be
adopted.
While it is not given out for pub
LEGATION 1t Is said that the Democrats
will have a strong candidate to OPP
pose the present mayor. On the
other hand there are a large number
of Republicans who are not in favor
of Mayor Wilson having another
term and it is not unlikely that they
will put up a strong candidate to
oppose him at the primaries. The
Democrats have clear sailing for
common council nominations, they
having but two candidates for three
places.
The Republicans are divided into
two factions. Each calls Itself Reg
ular," but those on the outside claim
that both factions are anything but
regular. 1t is suggested that Stand
patters'' and insurgents" would be
the better way of designating them.
The "Standpatters" are in the sad
die. The Insurgents" are deter
mined that Ralph H. Pratt and
Charles A. Watson shall be elected
to council, while the "Standpatters"
wanted Lon Hunt and w. Crehore to
have the honor. Hunt has backed
out and so the "Standpatters" did
not put up another man although
they have opposing candidates for
the county committee berths. IF an
opponent to Wilson should be select
ed the Republicans will have two
complete tickets in the field for Tues
day next.
Local Democrats are anything but
peeved at the situation. They are
not saying anything but are lust saw
ing wood. There are JUNIORS of
charges, counter charges, law suits.
libel suits and some Democrats are
unkind enough to say that 1t is al
most time for another dog prOclama-
ton to be issued. The "Demeys'
like those dog proClamations, for
every time one has appeared there
has been one awful howl both from
the dogs and their masters. The
political pot is boiling and there are
serious intentions of calling Metuch-
en- the "Scrappy Borough" instead OF
the "Brainy Borough" hereafter.

own heart-none of that love max
ing-mush-kind, but real stuff.
cowboy, Mexican, pistols and such
like. 1t is called "A Story of the
Hills" with Montgomery & Medley
Co.. The scenery is immense-its
an inside of a log cabin, and you can
see the snow flying outside and hear
the wind whistling-so you'd think
you needed your oyercOat when you
got outside.

a crook, but she don't know 1t,

of nuggets to be given to the pals

to keep them himself, and his wife
gets wise, and begs him to be hon-
est-he promises-but schemes to
come back in the night after he has
told her he's going to be away and
sneak off with them, but he gets
stung. After he's gone, his wife let's
in a sick Mexican and tells him he
can stay there for the night. Back
comes hubby for the Doodle, and
bang goes the Mexican's pistol, and
hubby cashes in his cheCks-poor
wife weeps a bit, but when she fnds
what he was up to, l guess she said
good riddance-that wasn't in the
piece that she said that, but if she'd
any spunk she'd of felt it.. Some
sketch all right, and some corking
good acting.
George H. Wiseman plays the
piano, sings and tells stories. He
can manipulate the worries all right,
and has got a bird of a voice. Don't
think much of his jokes, but they'll
pass in a crowd.
The Crown Duo, two men, have
sure got a bunch of instruments to
play on-dOn't catch me trying to

some eggs. I know that much, and
some sleigh bells, and trombone and

AUGUST ULMER
AWARDED $25
Suit Against Dana Society
for Sick Benefits.

Only S24 damages were awarded to
August Ulmer, of 228 Second street,
by a jury yesterday In Judge Beck
mans court In his $500 suit against
the Dana Relief Society, on a sick
benefit claim. The jury, composed of
Harry Salmon, John Murray, Frank
Conard, William w. Pierce, James
c. Seyler, Louis Pavlovsky, Max
Shapiro, George Mills, John Outcalt,
Samuel Plain, John Mason and ].
Nelson, did not return until late In
the afternoon.
James S. Wight, attorney for the
plaintiff, endeavored to show that his
client was sick for many months,
about a year ago, and brought suit
for benefits due him according to the
bylaws and constitution of the So
ciety. During his illness, and up UNI
til last January, Mr.. Ulmer had paid
his dues regularly to the treasurer
of the organization. In the test1-
mony it was stated the plaintiff had
been i'll during the time specified in
the state of demand. DR.. william e.
Ramsay and DR.. j. G. Wilson swore
the plaintiff had been under treat
ment by them and at that time was
not In very good health.
DR.. G. w. Fithian and DR.. j. S.
Hay testified for the defense and
said Mr.. Ulmer was in good health
when examined by them. This was
after the alleged illness of the plain
tiff. Thomas Brown appeared for the
defense and ~endeayored to shoW that,
inasmuch as the plaintiff did not have
daily employment, but is a retired
saloon keeper, he could not in justice
demand damages.
Attorney Peter A. Peterson gave an
Interpretation of the society's by
laws which was very damaging to the
defense. He said the laws were not
written In good Danish and conveyed
no meaning, especially the arbitra-
ton clause.

gard for the ballot, which Is the
fundamental requisite for stable
government and continued develop
ment. The effort should be to put
each district closely in touch with a
polling place, not to detract from its
accessibility or to hedge the process
of voting the discomforts which
might keep even one citizen from
expressing his will on election day.
AS to the attitude of the Perth
Amboy EVENING NEWS, which
seems to have called down upon it
self the scintillating satire of your
correspondent, we shall WELD no ar
gument; 1t has evidenced a capabil-
ity for self-protection in the past
which will probably be maintained.
However, we believe that any refer
ence to our claims or the talked-of
annexation project which has been
made by this newspaper was along
the lines Of progress, which is more
than may be said for some of u
snug, cOmplaCent residents of
Woodbridge Township.
Annexation to Perth Amboy?
Yes, we have thought Of such a de-
velopmeut, but only remotely as yet.
After being snubbed at home what
is more natural than that we should
turn our eyes to a city in which
each day brings new evidence of pro-
g~ressiYeness? Feel Perth Amboy's
business impulse; its commercial
veins are rich in golden corpuscles
which speak for a healthy future,
and a borough would indeed be fort
innate to share in it. Still, we do not
seek to throw ourselves upon the
bounty of that city. even were We
certain of it's favor in such a move
ment; We have simply turned our
, thoughts to a quarter in which help
seems possible at least. Let us
hope that we shall not be forced to
go abroad to obtain the consideration
which should be attendant upon u
rights of citizenship at home. We
are not inclined toward r~adicalism,
nor do we aim to strike an heroic
posture In the political arena; our
wants are simple and comparatively
few. Allow US to feel that we re-
ally are a part Of the Township to
which we have pledged our alleg-
lance, and as material ocular proof
Of thesact give us a ballot box which
our voters may find without having
to break records as globe trotters.

THE STORY OF SOME
VACANT LAND
BY JOSEPH FEELS.


l own an eleven-acre tract OF land
In West Philadelphia | paid $4,000
for IL some years ago. I recently
refused an offer OF $4,000.
Now, why did the party whose $780,
900 offer / refused want TO give
me that money? because he was so
anxious TO employ builders TO put up
houses on that land that he preferred
that privilege TO having that sum In
bank. Why did l refuse IL? Because
am sure that In a short time some
one will be even more anxious than
that to build and will offer me more.
Then perhaps l will graciously step
aside and let the building proceed.
While I am obstructing industry In
this way. thousands OF other land own
ers In Philadelphia and elsewhere are
doing the same thing. While We are
doing this men are looking In vain for
work, who might be employed In
building on this land or In producing
building material or producing food.
clothing, fuel and other things for the
builders TO use.
Why won't | and the other vacant
land owners improve the land our
selves? Because the state will pun
ish us II We do. III I should hire a
lot OF men to build on my land, the
assessor would raise my taxes. The
more men l employ, the better the
improvements / put on the land, the
higher the assessor would tax me. So
prefer to wait until someone else
wants TO build badly enough to pay
my price and pay the assessor, too.
The other land owners feel the same
way.
