Democrats Not Optimistic.

The democratic leaders. or rather the
Wilson leaders. are not az all optimistic
over the situation. They fear that the
regulars" intend to knife" the national
ticket in n quiet way. As one prominent
Wilson leader put ii today: The 'regu-
lar democracy has no love for the type,
of politician that Wilson represents and
therefore can have nothing in sympathy
with tn" local Wilson leaders who stand
for Clean politics and the uplift in state
and national affairs.
They realize that a victory for Wilson
n Maryland would mean the beginning OF
their end in the control of affairs political
this state. Therefore. willy should the
organization buckle down 70 work FOR us?
believe that the organ zation' will put
lp Il big hiun and Iced the average OBJ
server To believe that they are heart and
soul for the election OF Wilson and /
also believe that the big bosses VIII at
the proper time send word down the line
10 cut the national ticket and put all
their energies IN the work to elect the
representa- tiVeS and other city and state
candidates. L put mighty little faith in
the support that will come from the
bosses, and II we are going to carry the
state for Wilson We must buckle down
and do the work ourselves.
The suicide OF George G. Morrison. who
was chairman of the advisory committee,
has caused many changes In tho campaign
plans which will of necessity hamper the
work Of the committee. IL is generally
understood that former Representative
Miles, now vice chairman. will be placed
at the head OF the coIpmittee. and as he
= i real Wilson man, this Will not be at
all pleasant To the regulars" Another
development that has caused worry TO
the NilSonites is the announcement that
Representative Talbot will be the "spe-
Cial agent of Gov. Wilson in the coming
campaign in Maryland. Talbot is q reg
ular nj regulars. having Tor years been
the closest and most trusted lieutenant
of the late Senator German, and today re-
garded one of the biggest machine
leaders in the whole state.

Republicans Quiet, But Active.

The republicans are conducting a quiet
campaign at the present time, and getting
a line on conditions in the counties. Both
state and city chairmen assert that Taft
will carry the state next fall and by a
good majority. Those In the confidence
Of the leaders say that there is large
conservative democratic vote that is going
for Taft because the business men of the
city fear any tariff tinkering by demo-
Gratis of the Wilson and Bryan type. The
business interests fear that any radical
changes in the administration of the ma
tional government would unsettle busi-
ness TO such an extent that great losses
would be sure to follow, and for this
reason alone the average business man
will vote to keep Taft in the White House.
This vote is known in Baltimore as the
silent vote in national elections, be-
cause the business man does not talk
for business reasons-but votes. for busi-
ness reasons.
Chairman Hanna of the republican
state central committee has just returned
from New York, where he attended a
meeting of the national committee and
conferred with Chairman Hiiles on the
situation in Maryland. He also had a
speakers committee and announced that
he had secured some of the strongest
spellbinders in the republican party to
make speaking tours throughout the
rttN'- "iiiNi VII DtSiil the ldSt "tch III
September.
Conditions throughout the country are
bully, said Chairman Hanna. to The
Star correspondent today. While in
New York l learned from the leaders
that President Taft is gaining strength
and that the strength which backed
Roosevelt in his primary fights has de-
serted him to a tremendous degree since
he broke away from the republican
party and began work to build up new
parry.
I'm Maryland the situation is growing
brighter every day. During my absence
reports were sent here from western
Maryland showing that the republicans
are gaining ground fast In the prima ries
western Maryland was the backbone of
the Roosevelt strength. and | find upon
the reports that his supporters are fast
weakening and coming back into the
party ranks To work for Taft. On the
eastern shore and in southern Maryland
reports show little sentiment for Roose-
Welt. In Baltimore city--well, the city
organization is more than satisfied with
conditions and reports many former bull
mousCrs back in the fold

ONE YOUTH IS
GIVEN CHANCE

Through the efforts OF his father
Howard Waite, of 116 First street, q
youth accused Of embezzling funds
belonging to 1. c. Moore, a shoe mer-
chant OF IS Smith street, was re-
leased from the county jail yester-
day. BY means Of action taken by
Peter A. Peterson, as counsel, An
drew Peterson, of 362 High street,
from Mr.. Moore, who was his en-
ployer, Is being held to await the
action Of the grand jury. Persons
interested In the case consider 1t an
outrage, for 1t is generally believed
he would also be released on proba-
ton If counsel would change his
plea. The lawyer looks at 1t In a
different light, and considers. 1t a
disgrace that the youths should
plead guilty for the sake of getting
free at once, thereby placing a blem-
ish upon their character for life.
Andrew Peterson, Howard Waite
and John FRANKIE, youths of about
the same age, were taken into Gus
tody about a month ago for en-
bezzlement of s186 which the former
had been dispatched to carry to the
First National Bank for his employ
er. The trio went to Philadelphia,
where Peterson and Waite were ap-
pretended. FRANKIE returned to this
city and gave himself up. He vas
released ON probation by Recorder
Kehoe.
Peterson and Waite were close to
freedom when they signed allega-
lions to the crime. Peter A. Peter
son interceded as Peterson's counsel
and claims he was asked at the same
time to defend Waite. He caused a
retraetion of the allegations and had
the boys await the action Of the
grand Jury. 1t was believed they
would be set at liberty on probation,
principally because they were too
old to be sent to the State Home for
Boys and too young to go to the New
Jersey Reformatory. Waite secured
his liberty by throwing himself upon
the mercy Of the court.
Peter A. Peterson Is having HIM
self appointed guardian for young
Peterson.

HUGE DEAL IN
REAL ESTATE

One Of the biggest real estate
deals Of the last few months was
announced today by Hyman Fried
man who, in conjunction with the
Perth Amboy City Market, has pur-
chased a $4,000 tract from Perrine
& Buckelew, of Jamesburg, situated
in Paterson, First and Second
streets, between Gordon and Pater-
son streets, this city. The tract
comprises forty-six lots of undevelop-
ed real estate and is considered one
of the most desirable residential
parcels in Perth Amboy. It is sur
rounded by improved property.
According to the plans of the new
owners, the tract will be offered for
sale tn the rear future in building
lots suitable for dwellings, or in i'm
proved lots on which will be erected
frame houses. The City Market
officials and Mr.. Friedman declare
that the forty-six lots were pur-
chased at a reasonably low figure,
and with be offered to the people of
this city and vicinity on a similar
scale. Although bordering on the
tracks of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey it is not the intention Of
the spectators to offer any portion
of the tract for industrial purposes.
1t will be restricted to high class
dwellings, it is planned.
The property runs 800 feet on
Paterson street, 429 feet on Second
street and 529 feet on First street.
1t constitutes a greater portion of
the block bounded by Gordon, First.
Paterson and Second streets. The
Second street side, bordering ON the
railroad, will probably be the first
portion of the tract disposed Of by
the news owners, inasmuch as a
Spectator has already made adj
vances for every lot OF the Second
street side. William B. Pratt, a local
real estate agent, was interested in
the eonsummation of the transac-
ton.

BUILDERS Will
OFFER CHANGE

When work is started upon revi-
sion of the building code, members of
the Master Builders Association will
suggest that details be specified con
corning the use of cement, terra
Gotta and hollow tile building blocks
and will probably ask that permission
be given to use shingles for roofing
outside of the fire limits. Under
provisions in the code at present
shingle roofs cannot be constructed
within the city limits.
Because the use of building blocks
is not specified, contractors have
been compelle to erect walls four
inches thicker when built of block
than when bricks are used despite
the fact that builders say the block
are as strong as brick.
