Congressman Thomas J.. Scully,
Of South Amboy, announced last
night at the Wilson club mass meet
ing held in Wilder hall in his honor
that he will be a candidate for the
nomination for reelection OF the
Democratic ticket if he only gets ten
votes. His stand, he explains, is
taken in defense Of his present
action in running as a candidate for
a Wilson delegateship in this dis
trict, and in defiance of the erst-
while politicians Of Middlesex coun-
ty who have repeatedly warned him
since entering the present campaign
in behalf of Governor Wilson that
his political doom is assured.
According to Mr.. Scully, who re-
ceived a hearty ovation upon his
appearance before the 900 assem-
bled voters, he entered the present
campaign in the belief that such
action was desired by all good
Democrats, and in accordance with
his general acceptance of the Wilson
policies. Mr.. Scully declared that

political tricksters,' who are en-

strated by the tremendous applause
which greeted his remarks.

Congressman Scully's running mate
on the Wilson ticket in the Third
district. Senator Slocum declares
that the lower end of the district
will go solid for the popular COVER
nor, and he said he was glad to
learn Of the Wilson sentiment in
this county. His remarks opened
the meeting. Mr.. Slocum was fol
lowed by Assemblyman Elmer II.
Geran, of MataWan, who gave q
clever hour talk on Wilson's poll
cies and the work accomplished by
the Democratic party during the
past two years. Mr.. Geran pleased
the audience and gained much favor
by his criticisms Of Jim Smith
and his henchmen.
Other speakers We're Sheriff Al
bert BOllschweiler, Perth Amboy's
former mayor, who is a candidate
as a Wilson alternate-at-large from
New Jersey. He was loudly cheer
ed, as usual, and responded with a
few words of appreciation for the
voters attitude in this city towards
the governor. Alderman Richard J.
Calvin, president of the Wilson
Club. presided and introduced the
speakers. In addition to the gentle
