ON RECORD ALL
OF CANDIDATES

Taft at the Republican
Club Meeting.


closely associated with "Dory"
Strong in the past, stirred the men,
bers Of the Young Mems Republican
Club to their very depths last night
at the meeting in Odd Fellows hall
when he asked for a 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-
cation 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 a 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-
velt in the presidential campaign.
Without q second to Mr.. Haney's
amendment, President Harry r.
Wilson put the motion as originally
made by Mr.. Hanson, and 1t 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 Ferd. Garrett
son, candidate for the mayoralty;
William G. Wilson, aldermanic can
didate in the first ward; William F.
Hilker, in the third, and Ira R.
Grouse. In the ffth. Mr.. Haney is
standpatter of the "standpattiest"
kind and Is out working for Taft
with determination to make at
least favorable showing in his dis
trict-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 Brock,
of this city, candidate for the state
senate, opened the speechmaking
with few remarks in which he
went on record as saying that he is
an Embossed candidate and expects
Ito accomplish his work In the legis-
lature, if elected, independent of
any influence"

ton, Of South PlainfieId, and Elmer
