BITTER ATTACK
ON COMMISSION
IN COUNTY SEAT
Political Leaders Start an
Eleventh Hour Attack on
Commission Government
Forces in New Brunswick.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, March 1.-Oppo-
sition to establishment of commits
sion form of government in this city,
which has been growing during the
past week, eliminated in an eleventh
hour attack by the most powerful
forces of the two political parties
here today. Circulars are being sent
broadcast throughout the city, urg-
ing voters to favor the one side.
while every effort is being brought
to bear by those in favor of govern
ment by commission rule to have this
government instituted here.
The fight between the forces be-
came most bitter on the eve of elec-
tion today and some of the powerful
interests against this form OF gov
ernment even went so far as to re-
move municipal advertising from one
of the local newspapers because 1t
came out In favor of commission
government. 1t was believed for a
time that this act would invalidate
the election to be held tomorrow, but
relief was afforded when legal advice
indicated that 1t was necessary to
publish the notice OF election in but
one publication.
Fight a Hard One.
While IL is generally believed that
the fight will be a hard one, by rea-
son of strong opposition, there is con-
fdepce of victory among those who
are boosting the new form of govern
ment. 1t is freely predicted that
commission rule will win this time

:" NOTHING NEW
 UNDER THE SUN"
THE SEQUEL.

An up-to-the-minute salesman while crossing the country in a new high power, eight cylinder car chanced to stop at a back-woods shack for water. The inhabitant of the place looked out in amazement "Whatchu doin' out thar with that big wagun?' he ex- claimed. 'Oh that's my new, big eight which carries me from town to town where sell those improved Madza lamps, the kind you see hung from ceilings and which give such perfect light-the new kind. '% Thar aint nuthin new under the sun cut in the baokwoodsman I've been go- in from here to Turkey Creek and back fur the past fo'ty years and that thar is the best light ev'r made" he said, pointing to a well battered lantern. 50 you see thar aint nuthin new under the sun.''
 And so there isn't. The back woOdSman was perhaps right in way An automobile and a Madza lamp were nothing new in purpose merely greatly improved methods of accomplishing the same old results in transportation and lighting.
 An article published in last weeks edition of this paper, by a local pro fessional' photographer, tried to con- vey the impression that a new and improved apparatus, at present in stalled in the Clifton Drug Store, was no improvement over his Antiquated methods of developing films, inasmuch as it accomplished nearly the same results.
 As this local Professional Photo grapher' has at no time seen this new apparatus, and as it was not com pleted till some time after the publi- cation of his article, he was in no posi- tion to judge of its merits.
 I therefore take this opportunity to extend to him a most cordial invita- tion to visit and inspect this modern developing apparatus; that in justice to me, as well as to himself, he may publicly correct his erroneous state ment.
 Mir Professional" should avail himself of the opportunity not to judge the improvement of the new Flight" and the "Madza Lamp" over the OK Cart and the Lantern, but to satisfy himself as to the great CT advancement of the Improved ,Tacketed develaping tanks over his antiquated methods of developing. ..
