George j. Haney, who has been
closely associated with "Dory"
Strong in the past, stirred the mem
bers of the: Young Mems Republican
Club to their very depths last night
at the meeting in Odd Fellows hall
when he asked for roll call on the
motion of John Hanson. another
leader, which provided for the in
dorsement of the Republican ticket
from top to bottom by the Young
Mems Republican Club, which is
now the acknowledged Taft organi-
zation in this city.
1t was an embarrassing moment
for several men in attendance, es-
pecially the aldermanic candidates
on the Republican ticket, who are
believed to be out and out followers
of Theodore Roosevelt for president,
or, at least, SO they informed the
special committee of the Roosevelt
Club in recent interview. Despite
the evident desire of many present
to hear roll call, no one offered to
support Mr.. Haney in his movement
to have each and every man go on
record as favoring Taft or Roose-
Welt in the presidential campaign
! Without a second to Mr.. Haney' &
amendment, President Harry r
Wilson put the motion as originally
made by Mr.. Hanson, and it was
unanimously carried.
| His Idea is Plain.
] Mr.. Haney's idea was very plain;
he desired to place on record, as re-
CARDS the presidential contest, the
votes of Acting Mayor Fera. Garrett
son, candidate for the mayoralty
William C. Wilson, aldermanic can
Ididate in the first ward; William +
lHilker. in the third, and Ira X
Crouse, in the fifth. Mr.. Haney Is Q
istaLdpatter of the stand dpattiest
kind and is out working for Taft
with a determination to make at
Ileast favorable showing in his dis
ltrict-Perth Amboy. Mr.. Haney
played an important part in the pro-
ceedings of last nights meeting, and
led the applause when one of the
speakers emphatically declared that
the new Progressive party Is COM
posed of ''job snatchers and dis
gruntled Republicans"
Assemblyman John f. Ten Broeck
of this city, candidate for the state
senate, opened the speechmakine
with a few remarks in which he
went on record as saying that he Is
an Embossed candidate and expects
to accomplish his work In the leg1s-
lature, If elected, Independent of
any influence"

GOSSIP OVER OTHER APPOINT
MENTs BY THE MAYOR.

Tonight's meeting OF the city iii
ell will be a drawing card. Chief in
terest centers in the appointments to be
made by Mayor Sweet. There has been
q great deal OF speculation regarding
who will be chief OF police. The
names of Nick Mcclellan, Ed Manning
and Con Keefe have all three been dis
cussed at various stages of the game.

nounced that Mr.. Keefe would be the
new head of the police department.
Con lis one of the old timers and was
a member of the volunteer fire depart-
ment twenty eight years ago. He also
became widely known as a member of
the running team which won a worlds
record. MI. Keefe was a member of
the local police force as detective for
some time and is very familiar with
the general police conditions of the
city. For nearly two years he was
special officer and detective for the
Great Northern. His friends are con-
fident that he will make good as the
head of the blue coated fellows.
There was a rumor that the APP

be made till another session and
that Mr.. Orchard would remain in that
capacity for a short time.
Friends of Street Commissioner

the number of improvements that had
been made in the latter retreat. No
