the municipalities in Middlesex. Meet

every three months n an effort was

DIVIDING TIE SPOIIS

1t was a rather humiliatinG exhibl-
ton that the Middlesex Republicans
gave in New Brunswick Monday night
In their uDconcealed eagcrncss to feed
at the public crib at Trenton during
the coming session of the legislature.
Perth Amboy Republicans may feel
proud that they they are not CON
nected with It.
The steering committee Of the noxt
legislature allotted three jobs to Mid
dlesex on the strength of tho two Re
publican Assemblymen elected from
this county. These jobs are an assis-
tant supervisor of bills at a salary OF
5000; a s-tenograPher at a salary Of
$500 and q page at $500. If the
Middlesex Republicans had proceed
with the naming of first class mon FOR
these positions the action would
have been taken as a matter of course.
although il Is well known that half
the Offices handed out by the legisla-
turo for every session are useless
Snd amount 10 little less than gIaft.
But apparently the MiddlescX poll
~.ieians, or at least that brand Of poll
tlcians that haunt the county seat are
too greedy to see these salaries 90 to
only three persons. They all wanted
= slice of the swag and. accordingly,
sppointeos were named with the eS-
pressed understanding that they
'fdivy up" with other hungry RepublI-
cans anxious for some easy money at
the expense of the taxpayers.
1t is understood that County Solicl-
tor Richardson is responsible for max
ing such a spectacle Of the once Grand
Old Party. Richardson is said to as
pire to the county leadership. If this
is his brand of leadership the party
might well pray to be spared. 1t is
more and moro apparent that the real,
solid material In the Republican party
in Middlesex County Is to be found
right here In Perth Amboy. We know
enough of the name in which they
have handled local affairs and the
high class of men they have put in
office to say that the Perth Amboy
brand Of Republicanism would never
stand for such puerlle tactics as were
used in New Brunswick Monday night
In whacking up the scant spoils Of a
mono too glorious victory.

Those who are worried about this

The following extract from a pri-
