Sketch of C. T. Mason of
South AmbOy.

The subject of this sketch was
born at Cranbury t~hirty-two years
ago and is the son of Robert P.
Mason, ST., and Mary s. Mason, who
reside in First street, this city. When
eleven years of age his parents
moved to South Amboy. Young
Charles Immediately entered public
school No. 1 and was assigned by
the principal, Miss X. L. Mccoy, to
the tutorship of Miss A. Everett, a
teacher who was and still is a teach
err in School No. 1.
Charles, although coming from a
rural district into this city, was not
affected by this tranition as most
boys Of his age would have been by
the greater facilities for play and
amusement, as he fully realized even
at this tender & that he must
carve his own way in the world, as
his father had met with reverses and
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-11-02


could not give him the help he had
given his brothers. Therefore, he
was always found leading his class
es, and his report card was always
of a satisfactory character to his
parents.
At the commencement Of the year
1896 he commenced a course in stem
ography and typewriting under the
tutorship Of William M. Emmons.
This was in connection with his
school studies. These studies he
pursued together for about six
months when, for reasons not men
toned at this time, he abandoned
the public school and devoted his
whole time to his private studies I'M
til October, 1897, when he secured
a situation as messenger in the P. R..
R. Company Offices at Jersey City.
But young Charles's aspirations
reached far above his present situa-
ton. He did his work well, realizing
hat If one expected to rise he must
be diligent in whatever position he
was filling. In April, 1898, he was
promoted as head stenographer in
the New York division superintend-
ent's office, where he remained
about two years., when he was called
for a few weeks to General Superin-
tendent Sheppard's private office,
where he remained for about ten
years.
But Charles had started out to
perfect himself IS far as possible in
the different departments pertaining
to railway management, therefore
he did not confine himself to the
routine of his office, but familiarized
himself, as far as possible, with the
workings Of the whole New Jersey
system Of the P. R. R. from New
York to Cape May, SO that when
asked by his employer anything rela-
tive to matters at different localities,
he was ready to answer any general
question. His worth was recognized
by those in authority to the extent
hat when the Office of chief clerk in
the New York division superintend-
ent's office was declared vacant
young Mason was offered the posi-
ton and accepted the same, which
position he is now ac%ceptably filling.
This is the man that has been
placed in nomination as a member of
the Board Of Education of South
Amboy. Upon his qualifications no
comment is necessary,

South Amboy, Nov. 2.-The pecu-

liar men. One of those classes only
TAKE in consideration their own per-
sonal feeling in sizing up the candi-
date. If they have asked some
personal favor, Or perhaps at some
time a word has been dropped by
the candidate inadvertently, that has
called a feeling of resentment in the
mind of the voter, now that this man
has given some personal ofrense Is a
candidate for some office, we will do
our best to down him at the polls,
no matter what his qualifications
may be or how we'll he might serve
the people were he elected to office.
The other class voters to elect the
candidate because he is a good fell
low, nothing mean about him, he is
not afraid to spend his money, yes,
he will set the boys up every time.
Well, how about his qualifications?
VIII he economically run the public
affairs? VIII he act squarely at all
times and under all circumstances?
Well, l don't know anything about
those things, is the reply, "but !
know he is a good fellow.
The things mentioned such as per-
sonal spite, desire to get even, or
a good fellow, should not be taken
In consideration when about to cast
your ballot. The considerations that
should govern every voter in refer
ence to the candidate should be like
this: Is the candidate that l am
about to cast by ballot for a good,
honest and square man in his deal
ings heretofore? Do we believe he
has exercised his best judgment in
all his administrations of public
affairs? Is he a man that will ad-
here to right under all circumstan-
ces? If such is the case, yet any lit
tie personalities that may have come
between, dwindle into insignificance.
You are not voting to settle some
real or financial wrong, but voting
to place in office, if he has the quail
ifi%cations, a man that will wisely,
economically and honestly direct the
affairs of your state, county, city or
township in a a b~usinesslike man
ner, ever though he may not be
what is termed a good fellow. We
have voted against friends who
were considered good fellows, be-
cause their qualifications were such
as untitled them for the position to
which they aspired to fill, while we
have voted for those whom we de-
tested from a personal standpoint.
because we believed their qualif1ca-
tons to fill the office to which they
aspired, were far superior to their
opponent who was termed a good
fellow.
On election day next Tuesday, fell
low citizens, when we go to the polls,
let US keep in mind our own munic-
ipality, especially wherever w may
be located, that for our own best
interests our votes should be cast
for the man with the best all around
qualifications, and not vote for the
good fellow simply because he Is
a good fellow, nor for the purpose of
gratifying some personal spite.

South Amboy, Nov. 2.-The Pub

nearly completed one of the best jobs
ever done in this city, in placing
the pavement at the junction of
Broadway and Main street, but from
observation we are inclined to be-
lieve that thep resent location of the
switch on such a short curve is a
failure, as yesterday afternoon and
at other times the failure of the rear
truck to take the switch and follow
the forward truck, would cause the
presumption that it lisa failure and
