Last Word to Progressives

To the progresses Of Perth AM
boy and vicinity! The enemy Is on
the run, Both the old ring parties
would have us believe there is Il
drift from the Progressive ranks
back to Taft or Wilson. Don't be-
lieve them. 1t only proves that we
are doing something and making
them sit up and take notice. Sit
tight and watch them. They think
we have forgotten That's where
they are mistaken. They cant make
us believe that either of the old par
ties has been converted. If they
have got religion" it has come so
almighty sudden that nobody has
had time to notice it. They are the
same bunch of wire-pullers we have
been fighting for years with the same
old excuses and the same old prom
ises.
Progressives keep steadfast The
political game of 1912 is nearly
over. We have them going Taft is
trying to stand pat" on a four
9ush." Wilson is trying to bluff 1t
cut with & pair of deuces on the
5trength of the proverbial "begin-
ners luck" but there are SO many OF
he old ringers coaching him on

hard to obey all of them that he's

demonstrates how uncertain he real
ly is. The man with the goods is
Theodore Roosevelt.
The Progressives are not divided
far from it. There is, however,
big split among the voters. The
split is among the ring" element.
They are divided between Taft and
Wilson. The anti-ring element Is
solid for Roosevelt. Ring" politl-
clans have no use for Roosevelt
Trust magnates are trying in vain
to discredit him. Men of apparent
worth and influence have sacrificed
their all in the futile endeavor to
pull Roose yelt down with them in
their ruin. Every hellish device in
crooked finance and dirty politics has
been used in vain against him. In
spite of it all he stands out ike
guiding star; as an inspiration for
all Progressives. The more he is
slandered the more he is respected
The people know him. the people
love him and the people will elect
him.
Progressives, be alert! Be watch
full! Be not deeeived! Do your
duty.

To the Voters of the
First Ward

My information regarding the
number of Democratic voters moved
into this ward, came partly from
personal observation, but principally
from an active Democrat of this
ward. l rather thought at the time
that he was trying to scare me off,
l took the surest way to find out
and now l learn the almost one
hundred has shrunk to just fifty-two,
| am glad to get the information.
My letter had absolutely no bear
ing on the hou eholders and tenants
who m we'd here, 1t only had to do
with those voters who find 1t con-
venient to be In ward each year
as Aldermanic elections take place.
All Of which as stated in the let
ter sent out and In my opinion ID
strictly against the intent of the law.
The rest of the letter sent out still
holds good.

tic About Result in City.
MAKE STATEMENTS TODAY.
Judge Lyon Predicts Prog
gressives Will Carry Middle
sex -MiIson Is Best Bet.
MAKE STATEMENTS TODAY.

With the close OF the strenuous
political campaign the leaders are
extremely confident that the active
work of the last two months will
bear fruit tomorrow at the polls.
Every leader OF every cause predicts
success for his party's candidates.
The fact that scores OF candidates
will be disappointed does not enter
into the argument as advanced by
the men who are recognized as
familiar with the inside workings of
their respective parties.
Judge Lyon for Progressives,
Former Judge Adrian Lyon, who
Is the Progressive leader in Middle
sex county. predicts Roosevelt sue
cess in Perth Amboy, MiddleseY
county and the State of New Jersey.
The judge continues silent on the
senatorial fight, In which he is op-
posed by DR.. W. E. Ramsay and
John F. Ten Broeck. but he Is not a
bit backward in the statement that
the Bull Moose element will sweep
all before them tomorrow in the
local, county and state campaigns.
A week ago Ju lge Lyon stated that
he would not be surprised If Roose-
welt carried Middlesex," but today
hn is extremely confident over the
result.
John Pfeiffer for Republicans.
John Pfeiffer, OF this city. chair
man of the Republican County Com
mittee, predicts Taft landslide
with emphasis on the landslide. He
says: You can quote me as saying
that we will elect our city and coun-
ty tickets, aud that Taft will get
substantial pluralities In all districts.
especially New Jersey" Mr.. Pfeiffer
is exceedingly confident that Ferd.
Garretson will be elected mayor over
Garret Brodhead. Democrat. Thom-
as H. Hagerty, Of New Brunswick,
chairman OF the Democratic County
Committee. Is equally as sure OF
Wilson pluralities in Middlesex
county and the state as well. He
predicts a Wilson plurality In New
Brunswick. a strong Taft center.
r. F.. White for Democrats.
City Collector Richard F. White,
who is looked upon in this city as
the Democratic leader, is resting
upon the work done and smilingly
awaiting the election returns. He
feels positive over the outcome,
especially the mayoralty contest. Mr..

in the three wards. especially the
first, and Wilson plurality in Perth
Amboy Of at least 1000.
There is no doubt existing in the
minds Of every one Of the reelection
of Congressman Thomas J. Scully, of
South Ambov. the Democratic nomi-
nee. Mr.. Scully believes that he
will be reelected by majority Of
5000. He was elected two years

ways. For the first time since the
Popullst party was an active factor
IN American life there is a third
party with chance. How much a
chance only the count of the votes
Will determine. But the fact that
at the head of the National Progress
sive party is Col. Theodore Roose-
welt. famed for his luck, and that it
has an active working organization
in every state, makes 1t a most po-
tent factor in the result. Should
there be a Democratic landslide, as
has been claimed by the managers of
that party and seemingly indicated
by newspa. POLLS in many iocali-
ties, then the Progressive organiza-
tion may have the chance of captur-
ing the regular Republican organiza-
tion in many of the states.
The last word came for the cam
paleh managers TO-DAY. All were
optimistic IN their claims. whether
they personally believe the situation
warrants their enthusiasm Is known
ohly TO themselves. but the most en-
ID usiast1c party man cannot COM

Present Test of Sanity Costs
New York Taxpayers
Nearly $4,000

New York, June 23.-Sevcral re-
markable facts were developed in the
county courthouse at White Plains in

whether Harry *. Thaw. the slayer of
Stanford White, the noted New York
architect. has regaincd his son. and

Possibly the most amazing develop

Dix and withheld from the public by
