Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-11-02

to be found in the first two columns, accord
ing to the party one desires to vote for, the
attention of the voter goes to the third column
where will be found the word Congressman
under which are four names. As only one con-
gresham is to be elected, the voter can put
al tx" in only one of the squares. He will
choose from the four names which man he ia
vors for congress and put an "X" with a
black lead-pencil in the square opposite that
name.
1t will be noticed that the name of Thomas
J. Scuily, the Democratic candidate and our
present congressman, is the last of the four
Do not get it confused with Thomas j. Scott,
Immediately preceding Mr.. Scully's name, who
is running on the National Prohibition ticket.
Next under the congressman will be found
the names of the candidates of the respective
parties for state senator. AS only one senator
is to be elected the voter is to make one "X'
in the square opposite the name of the man he
prefers to be elected.
Next under the senators and at the bottom
Of the third column are the candidates for
members of the assembly. As we elect three
~assemblymen in this county the voters should
put an ''X'' opposite the names of the three
men he prefers to have elected. The first
three men under the assembly heading are
Democrats. The next three are Progressives;
the next three are Prohibitionists; the next
three are Republicans and the last two are So
c~ialists, the latter party being one short in the
candidates.
At the top of the fourth column, which is
the last one on the ballot, are found the names
of the candidates for coroner. One man is to
be elected, so the voter places an "A' III the
square opposite the name of the man he pre-
fers. This completes all the national, CON
gressional and county Offices. The rest Of the
names in the fourth column on the ballot are
for city offices.
First we have the candidates for mayor.
Vote for one by placing an y" opposite the
man you want elected, doing the same for the
selection of recorder, which Immediately fol
lows the mayor. After the candidates for re-
corder come the names Of the excise commits
sioners. Here are ten candidates and the voter
is to vote for five. The first five names on the
ballot, under the heading "EXcise Commits
sioners," are the Democratic candidates. They
are the men who have been endorsed by the
liquor dealers Of the city. The last five names
which appear on the ballot are Republicans.
-Four of these five, however, are the nominees
of the Civic Union, which is a non-partisan or
ganization, formed for the betterment of the
city, particularly in excise affairs. These men
are pledged to give Perth Amboy an admins
"tration in the matter of licenses that will place
this city in the ranks of the most progressive
municipalities Of the state. They are men in
whom the people can have confidence and they
should be elected. By starting at the bottom
of the list of candidates for excise commits
sioners and putting an OK" in the square OPP
posite the five names, counting from the bot
tim upward, no mistake can be made for the
excise board.
The other candidates differ according to re
spective wards in which the voter lives. Some
wards are electing aldermen and some are not.
But the choice is easily made by placing an
tx" in the square opposite the name OF the
man you desire to see win.
