POST
Of AMERICAN
LEGION IN CITY
Many Ex-service Men at Meet
ing---Maurice croweII Is
Made Temporary Chairman

In spite of the competition of splen-
did weather; a musical circus on the
open lot in Maple street and vig-
orous line of boxing matches at Palace
hall, fifty service men met at Dana
hall last night and organized the
Perth Amboy Post of the New Jer-
sey Branch of the American Legion.
The meeting was called to order
by William G. Burwell who has In
itiated the movement and after i. w.
Balleau had led the boys in singing
America, Malcolm Crowell was chosen
temporary chairman and Louis Y
Sosin temporary secretary. These
temporary officers will serve until the
permanent organization is affected.
State Field Secretary Thomas Col
dengay, of Newark, was present and
fully explained the purposes and in
tentions of the Legion. He outlined
the benefits to be derived from the
membership in a national organization
which even at this early date is rap
idly approaching the half million
mark.
Following Secretary Goldengay's re-
marks questions were asked by the
men and remarks were made by l.. w.
Ballou and Louis Y. Sosin and others.
Literature was then passed about and
signatures obtained on the member
ship cards. At the present time the
post has received eighty applications
for membership.
Committees were appointed on en-
tertainment membership and bylaws.
1t is expected that there will be at
least 800 present at the next meet
Ing to be held on Thursday, August
at which time Captain Warren p.
Coons formerly chaplain of 308th
Regiment, will be the speaker. Other
speakers will also be present at the
meeting. The secretary said today
that 1t is expected that the organiza-
ton here will be the largest single
post In this state.
The purposes of the Legion include
the unemployment problem, the TAX
Ing care of comrades who need voca-
tional instruction, employment and
all troubles connected with war risk
insurance and civil right. The Legion
is non-partisan. 1t is a civilian Or
ganization. 1t knows no distinction
of rank of service. 1t stands for 100
per cent Americanism, for the pres
ervation of what you fought for, for
mutual helpfulness and comradeship.
After the business was finished In
the upper hall the men were invited
down stairs to the Army and Navy
Club rooms and served with refresh
ments by ladies from the Girls Di-
vision Of the War Camp Community
Service and the club director offered
the free use of the club to the Legion
so long as the w. c. c. s. was in Perth
Amboy.

the injury of hundreds of people.
Street car service was resumed to-

By stan C0TfeSpCndent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. z.-F.
William Hilker in statement an
swering the attack of County Clerk
Bernard NJ. Cannon yesterday pledg-
ed himself to accept the county clerk
ship for only one term IL he should
be the successful candidate at the
polls this fall He threw back at Mr.
Cannon what he alleged to have
been Democratic gossip in 1914, thai
Mr.. Cannon was elected because he
did not intend to let John Conger
make lifetime job of the clerkship
Mr.. Hilker's statement follows:
mo matter what Mr. Carson did in
years past has NO bearing on this
case. Furthermore Mr.. Carson was
not elected by the people but was ap-
pointed by the Republican party"
'Mr. Cannon has no right to ask
the people for fifteen years as county
clerk, which means salary of ap-
proximately 500, 1000"
my contention is still that Mr.
Cannon should think of the men who
made it possible for him to have ten
years In office, and he should with
draw and allow them to have chance.
Mr.. Cannon is now criticizing the
practice of Mr.. Carson and yet he is
doing the same thing himself.
81 say his running for third term
is un-American and unsportsmanlike.
If am elected county clerk one term
is all want and will absolutely not
consider a second term. My conten-
ton is that the office is practically
run by Robert Helm, who is the
efficiency expert of the Office.
"The issue involves the principal. of
Americanism and it will be left to the
people to decide.
.In 1914 when Mr.. Conger opposed
Mr.. Cannon for Office 1t was common
street tax among the Democrats and
/ was in fact their campaign slogan
THAT Mr. Conger wanted to make life
time job of 1t
'sThe Democrats said 1t was time
for Conger to keep out and they COVE
that as their reason for asking Tor
votes for Mr.. Cannon"
"If it was good politics for the
Democrats to use against Mr. Conger
at that time, 1t seems as If the boom
erang is coming back against Mr'
Cannon now"
