A. W. AppIeby is Live Factor
in Assembly Race
CONTINUED from page y


Mr.. Appleby is a pronounced
friend of education and prompt to
second every effort looking toward
the extension of the common school
system in New Jersey. He believes
widest opportunity to fit themselves
for life's tasks and to make of them
selves something really worth while
in the world.
The soldiers bonus plan received
the fullest backing of Mr.. Appleby
at the last legislative session and he
four-square upon the plat
form of his party to do the absolute
ly fair thing by the men who placed
themselves at the nations call in the
World War.
Mr.. Appleby is a successful bust
ness man at Old Bridge. a property
owner and large taxpayer. He is
thoroughly conversant with the needs
of the agricultural population of
Middlesex County. but he also en-
joys the hearty support of the manu-
facturers and industrial workers.
Independent in thought and action,
the best element of voters has rail-
lied strongly behind Mr.. Appleby's
candidacy. His proven independence
and ~spotless character attract all
who believe in honest government
and his record during his first term
in the General Assembly points him
out as a fit person to honor with a
return to public Office.

tnat not a cent OF Unavoidable eN-
penditure has even been whispered
at, and not a single charge of mat
%tention to duty made either in pub
lie or private.
Through the exercise of sound
business judgment. Mr.. Gebhardt
brought about the erection of a new
County Record Building. a new
County Jail-to replace a structure
repeatedly condemned by local and
State officials, and rebuilt the County
Courthouse after that building had
been seriously damaged by fire.
The erection of a new bridge at
South River and n at Morgan. as
we'll as bridges in Dunellen and other
parts of the county. was made pos
sible and also the widening of the
sidewalks on the Albany Street
bridge at New Brunswick. Taking
advantage of the logical moment to
carry out these big improvements, it
can fairly be said that the Board,
under Mr.. Gebhardt's direction.
saved to Middlesex County at least
half a million of dollars that would
have been required had the projects
been delayed.
MI. Gebhardt was born at Midtown
and is a lifelong resident of Mid
dlesex County. He is one of the
pioneers and up builders of Highland
Park. where he has been in business
for nearly 80 years. He has been at
the head of every enterprise in his
home town that was for the public
good. and served it as borough COL
lector for several terms. having held
the same position in Raritan Town
ship before the borough was formed.
He has proved a fearless public Of
fetal and has come out on top in sew
eral disputes with public utility cor
porations who had trespassed on the
public rights.
II elected Sheriff, Mr.. Gebhardt
will become a member of the Mid
dlesex County Jury Commission and
has given his solemn pledge that to
the utmost of his ability the grand
and trial iuries shall be filled by the
best citizens the county affords. He
promises a business administration
and will be constantly on the job
his record of never having missed a
meeting of the Freebooter Board in
the entire eight years of his member
ship being the best guarantee of this.
Strict observance of law and order,
and non-partisan in the administra-
ton of the S~hrievalty is assured with
the election of Mr.. Gebhardt. That
he will win is the wish of every good
citizen who knows the true history OF
his successful work for this County.
