Lyons Answers Democrats.

By STAFF Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. Sc.
Raymond Lyons, the Republican can
didate for Assembly denied this morn
ing that he said the Democratic can
didates defeated the Soldier Bonus
bill. He stated that his opposition to
the bill was on the ground that it
read for the payment of 500 to every
one who served the country during the
war. This would cost the state about
$500, 900. He also stated that this
bill was a move to secur votes for
the Democrats at this election, and
disapproved of men running for Office,
using this in their platform, and the
drawing of resolutions by Democratic
clubs. He thinks that the matter
should be left to the convention OF
the American Legion.
Assistant Collector of Revenue Jo-
seph E. Hornsby this afternoon stated
that Jacob NJ. Klein did not tell the
truth last night in his talk before the
Democratic Club meeting when he
said it o. two weeks to ave a tax
search made out in the local Office.
Hornsby states that he has jokingly
said to several of the lawyers that
come into the collectors Office for tax
searches thai the law allows two
weeks" but, he claims, all searches
are promptly attended to. Last month
he states, is an example, 12O searches
being made, which is an average OF
more than our a day. In many in
stances, Hornsby said, lawyers sit
down in his Office and wait until the
search has been made by him, they
taking the papers with them when
they cave.
The increase in fees from one to
two dollars for tax searches, the as
sistant collector declares, came as the
result of action by the council fol-
lowing a request by the lawyers of the
city hat the tax searches might be
50 made out in the manner used at
present.
Following Chairman John Pfeiffer's
talk Albert Leon and former Mayor
J John f. TenBroeck spoke briefly and
they were followed by the city can
! didates.
John N. Wester, candidate for al
derman-at-large, made a strong plea
for the support of the Republican
voters. MY interest in his cam
paign is your interest" he said. 1--WE
are on the right track and want to
go ahead. 1t is only a matter of a
few years when this city with it's
natural advantages VIII become n
of the largest and most important on
/ the Atlantic coast. 1 feel that the
city's future depends largely on the
men who hold public office and I am
Il uTIl DeIISNSr ludL HOW 10 the TIME
to work for a greater Perth Amboy
and I expect to work to that end if
| elected"
Mr.. Wester explained that this was
his first venture in politics and said
that in attaining for the position of
! alderman-at-large he needs the help
of every Republican voter in the city.
He urged that the entire Republican
ticket be supported.
Omen hOISa will he cOn611otad in tho
Perth Amboy Republican Club rooms

ABANDON PLAN
To DOWN TREATY
Full Debate Instead Of FiIibuStGr
Now ReSOTted to
Oct.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The
word went forth today from the ir-
reconcilabIes, who had met to decide
a course, that there will be full de-
bate on the peace treaty, but no fill
buster. They will not attempt to
talk it to DEATH" but they will work
until the last minute to defeat it.
The peace treaty will be kept alive
even after the resolution of ratifica-
ton has been defeated, according to
the last-ditch plans of the Admins
tration forces.
1t is declared hat Vice President
Marshall will rule that the defeat of
the ratification resolution does not
defeat the treaty, and it remains alive
for action until actually withdrawn
by the President. In such an event,
after the Republican resolution has
been rejected, a substitute might be
offered by Senator Hitchcock, followed
by many other compromise PROPOSE
tons until some common ground is
reached.
Senator Lodge and other Republi-
can leaders scott at this plan. They
say that if the vice president makes
the ruling indicated, it is subject to
an appeal, and they have the votes to
override it. In any event, they con-
tend. the Hitchcock plan would be
nothing more than an endless chain.
IT have no program outlined said
Senator Hitchcock today, when asked
u99q 4ou pBq 9Sp!Iq uonIAI7s7L 9q1 il
reached.
The general impression among
Democratic leaders is hat an early
vote on the treaty is not to be ex-
pected. They believe the debate on
the Foreign Relations Committee will
consume much time.

ton in their attitude on the liquor
proposition. He emphasized the fact
brought out SO strongly by Newton A.
K. Bugbee, the Republican guberna-
torial candidate in his peech here sew
eral weeks ago, that this was a ques-
ton in which the people of the state
had no say whatever, being a federal
measure and after January 16 would
be handled by federal men.
After discussing the state situation
and making an plea for the
support of Bugbee and his principles,
Mr.. Pfeiffer touched upon the county

planned how the control of this city's

WITH LIBERTY MOTORS.

In its long flight across the At
lantic the NC-4 flew more than 5000
miles, the longest hop being 1900
miles from Newfoundland to the
Azores, 1t was navy affair, not
private adventure. Therefore the
game was played safe as it should
have been. Along the rodte a des-
troyer was stationed every so miles
to serve as guide post and to
rescue the aviators should they
meet trouble. As guides the des-
troyers were doubtless of value but
as rescue ships they did nothing.
The NC-4 did not make use of them
nor the One and Three both of
which had trouble in the fog off the
Azores. The One was rescued by
the ship Iona and the Three made
port under its own power.
The feat of the NC-4 establishes
the first record for transoceanic
flight. 1t was a great triumph at
testing not merely the skill and
valor of our men but likewise the
qualities of the Liberty motor with
which the seaplanes are equipped.
Hawker had a Rolls-Royce motor,
which has been classed as the best
in the world though hand made
motor and therefore not suited to
quantity production Yet Hawker
With a lighter airplane did not fly as
far as did our seaplanes on the
flight to the Azores, The results
speak for themselves.-E. O.

SECOND LARGEST WOOL CENTER

1t is not generally known that
Portland, Oregon, is the second
largest wool center in the United
States, Boston only exceeding it in
record of sales.
Wool growing should become one
of the greatest industries in Pacific
coast states as natural conditions
are favorable in this section.
Breeders of sheep are paying
much more attention to handling
their flocks with the result that wool
in this territory compares favorably
with the best grown elsewhere.
With the development of wool
growing comes manufacturing OF
voolen goods and there is no reason
why Western states in a short time
should no t be manufacturing as
fine fabrics as can be made.
Raise the wool and manufacturing
will come. Modern warehouses
grade the wool in some thirty ode
varieties so that the farmer gets
every penny there is in it and he has
every incentive to increase his
focks. Manufacturer.

The Presidents message to the

He served notice that railroads

Dec. 81 this year and that telephone
and telegraph lines be returned soon
as possible without administrative
confusion.
Among other things of great in
terest to the people he suggests tax
on retail sales should be dis
continued and urges Congress to un-
dertake early reconsideration Of
federal taxes in order that they
shall rest as lightly as possible on
productive resources.
He says that very stimulating con-
ditions await our commerce ant in
dustral enterprise but that the
question which stands at the front of
all others is labor.
The solution lies, so the President
believes, in voluntary cooperation
of capitalist, manager and workman.
In this direction legislation can do
but little. 1t must depend upon the
newer spirit and policy already
becoming manifested in industry
where the order of the day is me-
