SHEEHY MAY BE
The CANDIDATE
Democrats Look to Him to
Beat GarretsOn.

Several Democratic leaders insist
that the mayoralty candidacy of that
party this year VIII not be William
D. Voorhees,, president of the Mid
dlesex county Board of Taxation, or
F. A. Seaman, alderman from the
second ward. The heads of Perth
Amboy Democracy, it is understood,
are opposed to the selection of Mr.,
Voorhees, as the candidate in view of
the fact that his strength has ebbed
considerable, many declare, because
he was defeated last November for
reelection to the office of alderman
at-large by Acting Mayor Ferd. Gar
retson, who will undoubtedly be the
Republican mayoralty nominee.
May Name Sheehy.
There are many who believe that
John K. Sheehy, president of the
Board of Education, will be selected
by the organization Democrats to op-
pose Acting Mayor Garretson for
mayoralty honors. When questioned
today concerning Mr.. Sheehy's can
didacy, prominent Democratic lead
or, who Is in position to know, said,
Il don't think Mr. Sheehy will be the
party's candidate" Mr.. Sheehy says
he Is not a candidate, but, Is Is said,
would consent to run If urged by the
leaders.
Opposed to Seaman.
In regard to Mr.. Seaman; it is
well known that the second ward al
derman does not stand well with the
Gannon-White faction which now
controls the Democratic organization
in the city.
There was a rumor, given much
credence, which went the rounds
about month ago, to the effect that
provided the Republicans nominated
the right man, the Democratic Or
ganization would nominate Mr.. Sea-
man on the regular Democratic tick
ct, and then beat him at the polls in
an effort to remove him from politics
for all time. But at that time, evil
IDENTIFY, the probable candidacy of Mr..
Garretson was not taken into con-
sideration. Everyone now admits
that 1t is highly improbable that the
Democratic leaders will favor Mr..
Seaman because they have nothing
to gain by defeating him at the polls
and causing the election of Mr. Gar
retson, November s. Acting Mayor
Garretson is decidedly PERSONA non
grata" with the leaders of Democracy
in Perth Amboy.

Acting Mayor Ferd Garretson has
not yet signed resolution of the
Board of Water Commissioner for
an automobile truck, which was or
dered purchased from the Perth Am
boy Garage Company. His principal
reason is lack of knowledge of speci-

dent Taft today vetoed the legis-

veto to the House, Representative
Fitzgerald, of New York, moved to
pass the budget bill over the veto.
This was promptly done by the de-

would be much better than
farming these convicts out UNI

person so worked should be al

would be applied to the needs

he had no family, allowing the
convict a certain amount to es-

believe that every able bodied
