Hon. N. s. Ketchum, of Marshalltown
to the question, What las really oeeni
accomplished during his incum-
bency? Mr. Ketchum outlined
a few Of the more important, indi-
eating his Clear, concise way of de-
termining the best way to achieve re-
suits: I'm the first place the con-
sideration at hand is the action of the
commission which has saved thou
sands of dollars to the shipper and
the public generally. The railroads
were treated fairly, and yet the con-
sumner was benefited. There have
been two express rate reductions, ag-
gregating Is per cent. The rule has
been promulgated whereby shippers
compelled to use two railroads saved
20 per cent under the so-called 80 per
cent joint rate order. The express rate
charges are now the lowest graduated
scale of charges Of any state in the
United States. We have reduced the
rate on shipments of live stock in
Iowa 20 per cent. We have the low
est local freight rates in the union,
because Of the reductions the COM
mission has made. Rates on brick
and tile were reduced 80 per cent;
wagons, etc., II per cent; minimum
weight on stock food, 80 per cent;
small package freight charges from
40 to Is per cent. Mr.. Ketchum is
acknowledged as consistent expo
nent of the views Of the Iowa state
welfare promoters and stands for all
that means in railroad commission
work. Voters are not forgetting
these points Of excellence in his
record.
Allen For Secretary of State.
Senator William s. Allen, the re-
publican candidate for Secretary of
State, has fine record made as a
member Of the Thirty-fourth general
assembly Of Iowa in the senate and
previous to that time as member
of the house. As a member of the
house he had charge Of the bill which
created the Office Of Commissioner of
Labor and it was mainly through his
efforts that the law was placed in
the statute books. In the extra SEES
sion Of the Twenty-sixth general as
sembly Senator Allen served as chair
man Of the second division Of the code
revision committee, having In charge
the recodifcation Of the laws Of Iowa.

BRIGGS ASSOCIATION
is AT WORK AGAIN


Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, Nov. 5-The Briggs
Association at Broadway and George
street, Notwithstanding the loss of
their president, Captain Marshall,
has been revived and has become
quite active. Thomas Quackenbush,
we were told, is the president of the
association and with the help of
some minor officials is pushing mat
ters quite effectively, it is said. They
have by their arguments plueked
the Bull Moose to such an extent
that he is hardly recognized at the
corner, while the eulogy bestowed
upon Wilson under the leadership of
Thomas, would cause you to believe
there were none like unto him,
while strange to say the association
has apparently forgotten that Will
liam H. is in the race at all.
AS for our local ticket, we had
some hope Of electing some Of the
candidates until we learned that
Thomas had marshalled his forces,
and then our hopes began to fade.
Well, if we believe one-half we have
heard everything on the Democratic
ticket will be elected from constable
to president-nix.

on Fedacs Hotel. Pretty Miss Ella
Fedac, the seventeen-year-old
daughter Of the proprietor. Michael
Fedac, was alone in the hotel at the
time and some of the unruly Greeks
grabbed her by the arm and ordered
her to open the hotel.
The young woman stoutly refused
the Greeks admission and they ham
died her roughly. Meantime her
father appeared and he too was ILL
treated. A hurry call was sent to
Metuchen to the police. Marshal
Flaherty and some other officers re-
sponded and arrested Gustave Ange-
line and Samuel Christus. Justice
Weber delivered them a Sunday lee
ture and imposed a fine of $40 each.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Spotswood, Nov. 5:-According to
general opinion Mayor A. B. Apple
by will be reelected today at the
polls. He has been Endorsed by the
Republicans, as well as the Demo-
Gratis, and should have the united
support of those two parties. How
ever, another party has developed a
strength in Spotswood in the last
few weeks hat has caused it to be-
come a power to be reckoned with,
especially in local elections. The
P~rogressives have named for mayor
John H. Sheffield, a young man not
heretofore actively engaged in poll
tics. The mayors friends believe in
his success, despite all efforts to the
contrary.
AS to the councilmanic fight
things appear to be more interest
ing. Councilmen Hamilton Halle
hurst and Joseph Hodapp, Jr., have
been renominated by the Republi-
cans and will be supported by the
Bull Moose, 1t is expected. On the
other hand the Democrats have
named John Beebe and II. Garner
De Voc, both new in active politics.
According to report, there is a move-
ment on foot among the Democrats
to knife" Candidate De Voc and
send Councilman Hodapp back to
council. Mr.. De Voc, 1t Is known,
backed Councilman August Cornells
candidacy against Mayor Appleby
for the Democratic mayoralty nomi-
nation on September "a, and Mr..
Appleby's supporters have not for
gotten that fact, 1t Is said.
Because the town is normally
Democratic by about sixty majority,
Woodrow Wilson, Congressman
Scully and other Democratic candi-
dates will secure handsome MAORI
ties in Spotswood for the offices to
which they aspire.
Borough Clerk George W. De Voc
invites any voter to his real estate
office tonight to receive the returns;
he promises a service carrying right

PROCRESSIVES
IN BIG RALLY
Close of Campaign in South
Amboy Last Night.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special TO the EVENING NEWS.
Souh Amboy, Nov. 5.-Judging
from the enthusiasm exhibited at the
grand rally of the Progressives last
evening in the city the prospects
for that ticket are exceedingly prom
Using. Notwithstanding there is no
local Progressive ticket, it appears
practically all the local candidates
in the Republican ticket are of a
Progressive tendency, and were
therefore in attendance at the meet
ing.
Some two hundred Mooses from
Sayreville accompanied by drum
corps, arrived in this city about Z p.
m, and assembled at corner of
Broadway and David street, where
they were joined by three or four
hundred citizens and listened to an
excellent address by j. F. Fulton,
candidate for councilman of the sec
ond ward. From that point they
proceeded, amid a blaze of colored
lights, to the Sacred Heart hall on
upper Main street, where they were
greeted by Chairman O. w. Hillman
and escorted to the platform, while
an orchestra played a welcome.
The chairman first introduced
Candidate for Mayor Dey who stated,
although a Republican, he stood for
progress and outlined a number of
things the people might look for
should he be elected. He was fol-
lowed by candidate for Councilman
at-Iarge Stratton, who expressed
pleasure at the hearty welcome ex
tended and assured the people he was
for them, first, last and all the time.
Mr.. Fulton then made a few remarks
after which Counsellor j. A. Lovely
was introduced and gave in detail a
short history Of the qualifications of
the various candidates present. Mr..
Levine, of Newark, the speaker of
the evening, then took the floor and
gave an address that will not be for
gotten for sometime to come. He
was followed by Judge Adrian Lyon,
of Perth Amboy, candidate for sena-
tor, and Messrs. Edgar and Seidler,
candidates for assembly, who ex-
planned the finer points Of the prin-
ciples of the party.
The local candidate for Board OF
Education were then called on. G.
r. Mason, in a few words explained
he was a Progressive, altnOugn on tne
Republican ticket, that he had no
word Of comment to make In regard
to his opponent and merely wished
the people to understand he was Of
fering himself as a means by which
they might put a check on the unpre-
cedented expenditure of the peoples
money that had marked the present
board the past year. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Roddy. who reafirmed
the position taken by the preceding
speaker and explained in detail the
manner In which the ballot was made
up. The next speaker was Samuel
Tocker, who was greeted with an
applause outrivaling that accorded
any other speaker of the evening.
He explained In detail the exhorbi-
tant expenditure on parts of the
Board Of Education and the manner
In which they had openly defied the
people, and closed by putting 1t up to
the peoplew neither they would stand
for such an administration of at
fairs another term.
