APpLEBY ALSO SPEAKS
AT HERBERT MEETING

A John w. Herbert meeting was
held in Washington Hall here last
night for the benefit of the colored
voters of Perth Amboy. The meet
ing was arranged by f. William
Hilker, campaign manager for Her
bert, and was addressed by many
of the candidates for county Office,
including I. Frank Appleby. of As
bury Park, who is one of HERBERT s
opponents In the race for the con-
gressional nomination on the Re-
publican ticket.
The meeting was presided over
by M. j. Preston and Mr.. Herbert,
the first speaker, told of the cam
paign issues and spoke briefly Of
the past performances of the State
Highway Commission during his
term at it's head. He promised that
he would endeavor to secure feder-
al aid in laying out federal road
system through this section of the
state if elected. He also told OF his
stand on the waterways question.
favoring deepening of channels and
everything that could be possibly
done to improve shipping facilities.
His campaign manager, Mr.. Hilker,
stated that MIR. Herbert was instru-
mental in securing the additional
$1,000,000 appropriation for the
new bridge across the Raritan river
between this city and South Amboy.
T. Frank Appleby was present at
the meeting and, although it was said
to be strictly a Herbert meeting"
he spoke, discussing the national
issues. the League of Nations, pro-
tective tariff and then pointed out
the necessity of the colored voters
organizing.
Practically all of the candidates
for county office spoke briefly, some
asking the support of the voters for
Herbert, in addition to themselves,
while others spoke of Appleby. A
Colored Community Service worker
by the name of Ramsay. of Newark.
spoke and said he would try to es-
tablish a service station in both
Perth Amboy and New Brunswick
for the purpose of giving the color
ed residents civic instruction. A
of $50 for this work was
from Mr.. Hilker.

Perth Amboy is soon to have her
woman's political club
The Republican leaders have de-
cided to organize In this city a
Woman's Republican Club which
shall hold its meeting apart from the
mems club and have its own officers
and committees. With this point in
view a committee of Republican
Club members is now working to se-
cure eighteen local women-one
from each polling place-vho will
form the nucleus for the new organ
ization.
As soon as these eighteen women
have been selected by the mems
committee they will meet and organ
ize A temporary chairman will be
named in ordZ to start the new or
ganization and then meeting will
be called at which all of the women
in the city who wish to afiliate
themselves with the Republicans
will be invited to attend.
When this meeting is held. per-
manent officers will be chosen, every
member having a vote in the matter.
Following the organization the wo-
mems club will hold meetings regu-
larly as do the men and they will
be addressed from time to time by
candidates and speakers so that the
Republican issues might be made
clear to them.
A committee consisting OF John
Pfeiffer, county Republican COM
mittee chairman, Harold +. Pick
ersgill and Albert Leon has called
a meeting for tonight at s o'clock in
the Republican Clubs rooms, Odd
Fellows Hall, 9S Smith street, at
which all women interested in Re-
publican politics are invited to at
tend. The women are expected to
take an active part in the coming
campaign and as the primaries are
only about four weeks away no time
will be lost in organizing them.
Owing to the fact that women's
suffrage is entirely new it is expected
that may will be timid about pub
licly entering politics but it is believ-
ed that the novelty will soon wear off
and the women will enter into this
new branch with enthusiasm.
In order to be eligible to vote at
the primaries on September 2S, all
women who intend to take adyan-
tage of the opportunity to cast a
ballot must register at the polling
place in the district in which sha
lives on Tuesday, September IA
which will be the first registration
day. Women who do not register
on this day will not be permitted to
vote at the primaries. although they
may vote at the general election pro-
viding they register at either of the
two succeeding registration days.

Dorsey Would Stay Out of
Race This Campaign, But
Leaders Want Him to Run

Because of business interests
Mayor Frank Dorsey does not want
ito be the Democratic nominee for re-
election this fall. This fact was
learned today from party leaders.
However, as the leaders of the party
want Mayor Dorsey to run for re-
election, efforts are being made to
have him become the standard
bearer. The leaders themselves ad-
init that Mayor Dorsey has had to
neglect his large business interests in
order to serve the city as mayor, but
feel that no one is better able to run
Ifofa this ONCE than Mayor Dorsey,
himself. Therefore all pressure is
Aelng brought to bear on him to ac-
Z ept the nomination for reelection.
Who will be the candidate, If
Mayor Dorsey does not run? This
seems to be the question which is
confronting the Democratic organiza-
kion at the present time. When ef-
forts were made today to learn IL
there were any other candidates in
view. the information forthcoming
was to- the effect that there are not.
Among Republican leaders and Of
fice holders in the city there is a
rumor to the effect. that IL Mayor
Dorsey Is not a candidate for re-
election, the candidate will be DIR.
John ". Smith. When Democratic
leaders were being consulted con-
eerning this rumor, il was denied that
Dr. Smith was being considered for
the Office.
There Is considerable talk about
khe city that IL Mayor Dorsey does
not run for reelection 1t will be be-
cause he fears defeat and not for
business reasons. OF course this talk
delights the Republican politicians
and they make much out of it. On
the other hand, the Democratic or
ganization claims that II anyone de-
serves another term, it is Mayor
Dorsey for the work he has done
while in office, and they feel that the
people. II given a chance to vote for
him again, will prove by their votes
that they back up the work he has
Accomplished

SOME WORK ON new SPAN
COMPLETED BY STATE

II was announced by men of the
State Highway Department stf-the
state bridge this morning that plans
and borings for the new concrete
and steel bridge across the Raritan
had been completed but that they
were several minor obstacles that
had yet TO be settled upon. With
plans and soundings made, however,
it appears as though actual work up
on the bridge will be started within
the near future, possibly by next
spring. Immediate construction is
more vital and more of a possibility
since the condition of the present
bridge has been ascertained. The
need for a new structure can no
longer be questioned.
1t is rumored. although nothing
definite can sustain it. that there is
"a controversy between the State
Highway Department and the c.
Pardee Works in regard to an ap-
proach to the bridge on this side Of
the river. 1t has been hinted that il
is the plan of the highway depart
ment to continue Convery Place di-
rectly onto the approach to the new
bridge, thus eliminating a grade
crossing over the Lehigh Valley
tracks and making possible an al
most straight route through this city
from the Newark highway.
Such an approach, however.
would mean that a new kiln build
ing at the Pardee plant would have
to be removed in order to make the
approach straight. A crook in the
bridge such as is now found in the
present one is just what the high
way department. wishes to avoid if
possible. There is no doubt but
what the commissioners are consid-
ering the plan of extending the
bridge straight across from Convery
Place and the fact that it would
mean the destruction of one of the
new and large buildings at the Par
dee Works gives ample grounds for
the truth of such a rumor.

WILL
REMAIN OPEN
Engine on Draw Was Given
Trial and Functioned With
out Hitch-No Manpower

According to all information given
out at the state bridge this morning
the span between this city and
South Amboy is to remain open. 1t
is the endeavor of the men in
charge to complete the repairs
without again shutting of the
structure and that only an unfore-
seen and dangerous turn of AFFAIRS
can force such step.
The engine on the draw was given
a trial for the first time this morn
ing and succeeded in turning the
bridge without any assistance from
the men, although the first two or
three times IL was turned the en-
gine stalled several times. When
started with the combined power of
man and engine the draw swung
easily and smoothly.
The importance of the state
bridge was never more clearly
shown than this morning when,
though an of day and though the
draw was opened for only a short
time, the line of cars extended back
as far as Market street on the ap-
proach on this side.
With the aid OF the pile driver
which arrived yesterday and in con-
junction with the barge crane the

rapid headway in the lifting of the
South Amboy approach to the draw.
This is approximately a foot below
the level of the span and as it now
prohibits any trolleys from crossing.
The approach on this side will have
to be lowered about six inches be-
fore. the tracks will be level and
the bridge once again in its normal
condition.
A long line of pontoon pipes.
towed crosswise in sections that
nearly equalled in length the gap
at the draw created an excitable
moment at the bridge this morning
when they threatened for a time TO
undermine the South Amboy ap-
proach. The pipes were being towed
up the river by two tugs. the fore
most being the Convoy of New
York, for use in the dredging of the
south channel farther up the river.
They took the South Amboy open
ing of the draw and the Convoy
worked in so close to the bridge that
the pipes threatened TO wedge. The
tugs backed and drifted for a mo-
ment, the pipes working backward
and forward to such an extent that
when the Convoy started ahead
again one of the sections scraped the
center piliEg of the draw. After
again manoevering the long tow was
worked safely through.
