Spectal to the FKENING NEWS.

Keyport, Nov. 4:-Reports re-
ceived by Republican leaders here
from every election district In Mon
mouth county indicate hat the Re-
publican candidates for freeholders
and the Republican candidate for
surrogate will be elected by large
majorities. Keyport borough, they
say, is sure to give the county ticket
a good Republican vote, likewise At
lantic Highlands and vicinity.
Voters there are bitterly complain
ing against the present Democratic
Board of Freeholders because of con-
ditions existing on the entrance of
Ocean Boulevard, which at present
is in a deporable condition. In De-
cember, 1910, the borough council Of
Atlantic Highlands decided to the
Board Of Freeholders the road in
Bay View venue In the deed 1t
was clearly stated the grant was to
be from curb to curb, and was SO &C
cepted. During the past summer the
Board of Freeholders contracted to
continue the boulevard from Water
Witch into Atlantic Highlands, con-
trary to the deed the ~freeholders, not
only in regarding, cut down the
road, but the curbs and sidewalks.
The borough officials have been in
constant communication with the
board but have been unable to get
much satisfaction. Frank e. Price,
one of the Republican candidates, is
very popular in the borough, and the
Democratic leaders fear that he will
carry Atlantic Highlands by a large
majority.
In Holmdel township the Demo-
Gratis will probably give the county
| ticket the usual majority, but many
believe hat Roosevelt will carry the
township.
A line on the vote in Asbury Park
is hard to determine as local faction
fights make the outlook uncertain.
Long Branch Is looked upon by
local politicians as the only real
bright Democratic spot Of the county
and the Democratic vote there Will
be about the average Of other years.
Red Bank, it is believed here, will
go Republican by an unusual ma
jority. The Progressives in Red
Bank are strong and will support
the regular Republican candidates.
In Freehold a hard fight has been
made by the present members or the
Board of Freeho]ders and Surrogate
Joseph L. Donahay and it would not
surprise the Republican managers II
the Democrats manage to carry the
borough.
At Matawan, the home OF Candl-
date B. F. s. Brown for congress,
little enthusiasm is shown, but 1t Is
nredicted the Democrats Will carry

THOUGHT STOLEN HORSES
WERE TAKEN TO KEYPORT
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Keyport, No. 4.-On Friday after
noon Samuel Bernstein, of New York
city, accompanied by his brother,
arried at this place and communi-
Gated with Chief of Police R. s..
White for assistance from the local
police to o two hodses stolen
from their barn on Wednesday night.
The Bernstein brothers were sup
piled with a letter of introduction
from Morse NJ. Frankel, the director
of the Welfare committee of the
Jewish community of New York city,
and the Bureau of Special Investiga-
ton and Organization.
Chief White placed the matter in
the hands of Constable James Nc
Cam. The Messrs. Bernstein had
successfully traced the stolen ami
mails to Perth Amboy and from there
the next clue of them was on the
road enroute for Keyport. They were
supplied with fair evidence to the
effect that the animals were secreted
about the vicinity of Mott street and
Broadway, or along the back road
extending parallel with Broadway, for
a short distance.
On Saturday morning the Bern
stein brothers and Officer McCann
made a thorough search of all the
territory, under suspicion and found
no trace of the horses. One of the
animals Mr.. Bernstein valued at
$3.50 and the other one about S10o.
When interviewed on Saturday
after the search Officer Mccain stat
ed that a vicinity known as Texas,
near Red Bank, would be the next
place to be looked yer as a clue
discovered put that locality also un-
der suspicion as the hiding place and
that they intended to lose no time in
investigating the land at that place,

WATERWAYS. Mr.. Brown was appointed by
Governor Fort on the commission which had
a bill drawn to buy the right of way across the
State at a cost of 100000, and this became a
law. Governor Wilson has appointed him to
represent the State of New Jersey at three wa
terway conventions, and he attended all OF
them at his own expense. These conventions
give inspiration to those who attend and dele
gates are present from Maine to Florida. MI.
Scnlly failed to be present at either Richmond,
Va. or New London, Conn, and may have
been present at the sessions in Washington,
because he was in that city at that time, al
though we have no knowledge of it. This IN
formation is given to show that Mr.. Brown IS
interested in the subject of great moment to
YOU, and became so at a time when he had no
thought of becoming a candidate for Congress,
and also to show you how little interest your
Congressman has had in the subject.
If elected. he hopes to serve you fully as
much as he has tried to as a private citizen
of the district, and he has no doubt that you
will aid him to be your next Representative IN
Congress.

Republicans and P~rogressves Of Perth Anby Vote Tor
FERD. GARRETSON AND BENJ. T: S: KOWN
FOR MAYOR FOR CONGRESS
FOR MAYOR

Benz. F. S. Brown, your candidate for Con-
gress, is deserving Of your support. Mr.. Brown
has been publishing a newspaper for nearly
twenty-three years in Matawan, advocating
the principles of the Republican party and
supporting it's candidates. He is a Protec-
ZIONIST and opposed to such a reduction in the
tariff as will close the industries of the coun-
try or reduce the wage of their employees, but
does believe in the creation Of a commission Of
scientific men who will consider this great sub
ject in all it's bearings and will support such a
bill as they recommend.
MIR. Scully's Record.
Your attention is called to Congressman
Scully's record on a few, but very important
measures passed by the last session of Con-
gress. Some of these affect the industries of
Perth Amboy by lowering the tariff and must
necessarily ultimately result in lowering the
wages of the people employed in them. The
record shows that he voted to reduce the duty
On chemicals and metals. Those of you who
are employed in these industries in your city
no doubt have realized that your wages would
have been reduced had these become a
law, for the owners of these companies must
10y
reduce wages to meet foreign competition if
they are to keep in operation. The wage earn
er will be the first one to feel the effects of this
lower tariff and he should not forget it.
Mr.. Scully was not recorded as voting upon
the three important labor questions, one OF
which was favored by the American Fedora
ton Of Labor. In other words, HE DODGED
the laboring man, he has shown that he is not
entitled to their support. These bills were
called, IN brief, "Court Contempt" "~Injunc-
tions'' and "Phossy Jaw" the latter having
to do with the use of PHOSPHORUS in the man
~ufacture of matches, He also DODGED THE

to impeach Judge Archibald. AS A DoDGEN
he was not surpassed by any member OF the
House from New Jersey on the fifteen bllls re-
ferred to. Mr.. Scully also failed to vote on
the COMPROMISE pension bill, as it finally be-
came a law and the old veterans should bear
this in mind. He voted for the 81 a day bill,
but it was generally known that this could not
get through the Senate, and it did not.
CONGRESSMAN Scully ignored invitations to
the delegation from all parts OF the
world when they crossed the State upon a tour
of inspection of the proposed canal between
the Delaware River and Raritan Bay at Nor
gan on June 4, although the delegation was
met by representatives Of your Board OF En-
gineers. He also failed to attend the hearing
before the Chief of Engineers Of the War De-
partment in New York on Sept. "a, when the
proposition was presented for the deepening OF
the Kill Won Kull for the benefit Of the indus
tries in Perth Amboy and other places along
the sound. The Perth Amboy Board OF Trade
was largely represented. Senator MARITIME and

so little interested in the project that he
showed it by his absence. He certainly has

ask you if he is deserving Of your support for
reelection upon HIS RECORD. And it is
upon HIS RECORD that he is asking to be re-
turned for another term.
