The foregoing ticket expresses the
sentiments of the Republican City
Committee, L. Burt Moore, chairman,
and will very probably be the slate
selected by the regular Republicans
to make the race in Perth Amboy for
the G. 0. P, on November s. 1t Is
believed that the progressive Repub-
licans, namely the Roosevelt follow
ers, will indorse this slate, as we'll,
putting the local Republican party
into complete harmony for the ap-
preaching campaign. The Bull
Moose" leaders Will make no state
ment at this time, as they believe
that the Roosevelt Republican Club,
of this city, will take this matter in
hand at an early meeting and place
the question before the members for
discussion and adoption, If so decid-
ed. The leaders will not take the
initiative and indorse any slate for
the club, they declare.
Favor AIdermanic Ticket.
1t is known that the Roosevelt fac
ton looks with favor upon the candi-
dacy of Harry R. Wilson, president
of the Young Mems Republican Club
in the first ward, as we'll as that of
William F. Hilker in the third baili-
wick Mr.. Hilker, who is treasurer
of the Young Mems Republican Club,
is an enthusiastic member Of the
Roosevelt Republican Club, while it
is known that Mr.. Wilson looks with
favor upon the efforts of the famous
colonel to return himself and his
principles to the White House at
| Washington. Mr.. Pickersgill ex-
planned his position in the national
''squa bble' of the Republican party
last night at the meeting of the Bull
Moosers," when he declared that he
has adored the former president for
years-even before Mr.. Roosevelt's
election to the highest office in the
country. There is much speculation
on the reported candidates. Of AS
semblyman John F. Ten Brock for
mayor, and Martin S. Duschock for
alderman in the fifth ward.
Ten Broeck NOn-Committal.
| Mr.. Ten Brock, who has remained
neutral in the Taft-Rooseyelt fight,
remains reticent on his future polit-
ical career, giving the reporters the
| impression that he Is undecided
whether to stand for reelection to
the assembly, make a campaign for
the mayoralty nomination, or heed
| the entreat1es of his many friends
and strive for the Republican nomi-
nation for the state senatorship. 1t
| is understood that he can have any
one of these three nominations. The
Roosevelt leaders decline to commit
themselves on the Ten Brock can
didacy, whether or not he is accept
able to their progressive views, al
though it is known that they have q
decided preference for Acting Mayor
Ferd Garretson over any other prob
able candidate. 1t is understood that
he firmly declines to relinquish his
position as alderman-at-large tc
make the race. Mr.. Duschock, wher
called on the telephone this morning
declined to discuss national issues
and alsa announced that he has not
decided to make the race in the fifth
ward this year.
Excise Ticket Not Complete.
1t is believed, however, that the
Roosevelt leaders will give their sup
port to the slate mentioned in the
foregoing, as it contains the names
Of several candidates who are pro
nounced followers of the Oyster Bay
candidate and two others who can
be catalogued as non-partisan
Chairman Moore declares that the
