Snyder pulled his machine quickly to the right of the road to drive in the rear of the wagon and in so doing made a wide sweep and collided with the telegraph pole, overturning the vehicle as he did.
 He sustained a fractured skull and numerous bruises and his wife, Ellen Snyder, 26, was lacerated about the head and face The baby was unin- tured. The emergency ambulance was called and took MT. and Mrs Snyder to the Bridgeport hospital, where he died this morning.

STEEL AND IRON ACTIVE.

NEW YORK, November 29-Steel is
steadily advancing. Bessemer and
open-hearth, Pittsburgh and sheet
bars have advanced 81, bringing them
up to SAB per ton. Forging biIlets are
held at SAG. The general market is
very strong without quotable ex-
change.
Demand for iron continues very ac-

held at $37. Inquiry for all grades is
heavy and furnaces are far behind on
orders. Coke is still in fair supply.
Copper continues weak. The STOP
page of export trade and decline in do
mestic consumption has caused an ac-
cumulation in producers hands. The
price has fallen from 20 to 1Sk per
pound in the last few days.
Lead continues firm at SIS per

heavy. In some quarters spot lead is
held at $50.
There has been a good export de-

Of the native and nearby farm
products there are ample supplies OF

try has had it's day now until the
buying of the Christmas market sets
in. Geese. in order to sell to the
best advantage. must be choice and

are in good demand.
Owing to lighter receipts of strictly
fresh eggs the market is very firm,
with prices showing a further ad-
vance. The demand readily keeps
pace with the daily offerings of first
quality eggs and more of this char
acter of stock could be handled to

For the better grade of live cattle
there is ready sale. but common to
ordinary is in ample supply. Weather
conditions have not been favorable
for the sale of dressed pork, but for
clean-looking dressed hogs of handy
weight there is a fair demand. while
inferior stock has to be sharply dis
counted.

Public Opinion
THAT THIRD TERM ISSUE

Editor EVENING NEWS:
There seems TO be a little political
war going on through your paper be-
tween our County Clerk Barney
jGannon, and our would-hke-to-pe
clerk, BILLY" Hilker, who says
it. is un-American for Cannon to seek
q third term, saying the chief execu-
tive of our country declined a third
term, so why should a county official
seek a third term. Why is it I'M
american? He has served the public
%. X. and has fulfilled all MS pledges.
II think it's bum dope coming out h a
way. Take for instance his own party
in Perth Amboy. According to Hill
ker's views there are q few un-Amer-
lean politicians here. Alderman Will
son has served over three terms and
now on his fourth. How many terms
has Recorder Pickersgill served? AL
derman Anderson served two terms
and has his hat in the ring for an
bother chance. Also up in a Connect1-
cut town last election, after a recount
was made a mayor there was elected
for his seventh term. He surely must
have been un-American. I noticed
that Barney" Cannon. on ccount OF
his holding a county Office was exempt
from paying income tax, instead he
turned over to the Junior Red Cross
what he would have paid had he not
been exempt, is that un-American?
|"I'n say it's not"
This bunk OF one candidate trying
to put his opponent down with such
talk is playing his cards wrong, and
1t is up to the voters of Middlesex to
| decide whether a third term Is I'M
IAmerican or not, and all h wise men
will voteto keep a good man who has
made good where he is. for another
term at least. or as long as he serves
