TINE ENOUGH YET.

The time in which the voters can
put Perth Amboy in line with the
most progressive cities of the state
and nation is growing short. The
polls close at 8 o'clock tonight. II
you have not voted by that time you
have no grounds for complaint If you
and the city handicapped in the fu-
ture because it is forced to struggle
along under a charter adopted half a
century go. This fact about the
city charter should induce you to
vote for commission government to-
day II no other argument appeals
to you.
Mayor Dorsey, all must agree.
knows whereof he speaks when he
says in his statement published yes
tsrday: After nearly two years ex-
perience with the obsolete charter OF
Perth Amboy / am convinced that
commission government would be a
great benent to the city"
1t is a significant fact that many of
those who now oppose commission
government have. at times in the
past, been enthusiastically for 1t. But
they are politicians who, at that
time, were out or thought they were
about to get out Of office whereas
now they feel hat they are strongly
entrenched In once. 1t makes a Diff
ference. you see. and IL all goes to
show that when the matter is on
sidered solely on it's merits with only
the best interests of the city in view
and without taking politics into the
reckoning. commission government
is admitted to be the best form of
government for a municipality yet
devised.
II isn't too late yet, IL you have
&~3L-sIready done so. to go around
to the polling place and vote for the
adoption of commission government.

For the League of Nations and Cox

New York Evening PoSt)
The paramount issue in the pres
idential campaign is the Treaty of
Peace and the League of Nations
with safeguarding reservations. Shall
America keep faith with her part
ners in the war? Shall America
Join with them in the only honora-
Bile and effective way of making
peace with Germany? Shall Amer
lea enter heart and sou upon the
work of maintaining the peace of
the world as she did upon the task
of winning the war?
To these questions Governor Cox
has answered Yes and Senator
Harding has answered No. If the
Evening Post, during the week that
has elapsed since Governor Cox's
speech Of acceptance. has held in
allowance its declaration of choice
between the two candidates, the
reason was not that we were-in
doubt concerning Governors Cox's
Affirmative stand on the treaty and
the league. We waited only to see
whether Senator Harding would
hold fast to his policy of negation.
Senator Harding has maintained
his No to the question of Americas
honor, duty, and ultimate best in
terests. The issue is thus clearly
Joined. The Evening Post, believing
hat it speaks for a great mass OF
independent American citizenship,
pledges its hearty support to the
Democratic nominees, in whom il
sees embodied the highest aims and
ideals of the American people.

THIRD DISTRICT POLITICS.

The Newark Sunday Call dabbles
rather freely into the politics Of the
third congressional district this
week. Regarding the Democratic
situation it says:
Democrats in the third Congress
lional district may see a three-cor-
nered fight for the nomination. Frank
Dorsey, Mayor of Perth Amboy, Is
being groomed for the nomination
by his friends, and 1t is understood
he has the support of B. NJ. Cannon,
county clerk, who is looked upon as
the county leader. Samuel S. Schlei-
mer, a popular lawyer, has aspira-
lions to go to Washington. He has
hosts of friends who are Republicans,
and would be a great vote getter.
while Middlesex county Demo-
Gratis are taking the announcement
of Congressman Thomas J. Scully
that he does not intend to run again
at its face value, the Monmouth
county democrats are importuning
him to reconsider his declination and
be a candidate In fact it has gone
so far that they are planning to draft
him for the nomination. and are de-
termined hat he shall be the candi-
date.
Sam Schleimer has a wide ac-
quaintance throughout the Third dis
trict. He is a persuasive speaker. AS
one of the -Four Minute men during
the war period Schleimer drew dol
lars from the pockets of many peo-
pie who attended performances at
the New Brunswick theatre.
Mayor Dorsey is one of the most
popular executives Perth Amboy has
had. He is a man Of excellent ad-
ministrative ability. and is n of the
prominent business men of the city
at the mouth of the Raritan."
For the Republicans Joseph M.
Thompson. of ocean county is given
a boost as follows:
ANY candidate for Office who can
deserve such honorable mention las
Win Fischer gave Joseph M. Thomp-
son In last weeks Toms River our
Ter must be worthy of support by the
voters. Fischer is a mighty indie
pendent editor with a reputation for
truth-telling. He is a Republican,
but a Republican candidate has got
to show something more than the
party label TO obtain his support.
Joseph NJ Thompson. of New Egypt,
is a candidate for the Republican
nomination for congress from the
third district and Fischer is for him
with whole-hearted enthusiasm. If
we lived in the third district we
would be willing to take Thompson
on Fischer's guarantee"

HARprNe,s FOREIGN POLICY.


The more Senator Harding talks
the deeper he gets in the mire. Fol
the sake of the Republican party it it
TO be hoped that Elihu Root eturn
shortly so as to get the candidate on
the right track. II he keeps on It
will be impossible for him to retrace
his steps.
In an interview with the Republi-
can candidate which is published
this morning Senator Harding is
quoted in reference to the Polish
Russian situation as follows:
There will be none of the present
foreign policy if we succeed. On the
contrary there will be a complete
reversal You will have to excus
me for going into details any fur
Their at this time. but 1 may say that
/ think the Republican party expects
a Republican administration to make
a very sweeping change in the for
eign policies of the nation"
The present foreign policy, which
Senator Harding would reverse
should he be elected. has just been
made known in the most emphatic
manner by Secretary of State Colby
in his note to the italian ambassador
just one week ago today. In that
note Secretary Colby stated that
"this government Omitted States)
believes in a united, free and autono-
nous Polish state, and the people of
the United States are earnestly So
licitous for the maintenance Of Po-
lands political independence and
territorial integrity. From that at
titude we will not depart. and the
policy of this government will be d.
rected to the employment of all
available means to render it effect
Iual."
Senator Harding says if he is elect
ed he will reverse this policy. The
reverse, of course, is TO be against a
united, free and autonomous Polish
state. Thus the Republican candidate
puts himself on record as being
against an independent Poland.
Regarding the Russian people Sec
rotary Colby in his note. says:
The United States maintains un-
impaired its faith in the Russian
people, in their high character and
their future. That they will over
come the existing anarchy. suffering
and restitution we do not entertain
the slightest doubt. Until
that time the United States feels that
friendship and honor require that
Russia's interests must be generously
protected and that, as far as possible,
all decisions of vital importance to
it, and especially those concerning
its sovereignty over the territory OF
the former Russian empire. be held
in allegiance"
The reverse of this policy which
Senator Harding says a Republican
administration would adopt is lack
of faith in the Russian people and
an indifference as to what may be-
come of Russia during the present
Bolshevik regime.
Again. in reference to the Bolshe'
visits. Secretary Colby. in his nce q
week ago. is most explicit. He says

where we can meet with out regard to country,

For the sake of our common humanity shall
we answer this call?
The welfare of millions of human being is
in our keeping? how will this great trust be
honored?

reconstruction in war ridden Europe is over, and
industry is resumed on greatly accelerated
scale, new accumuations of wealth will take
place; more armaments, and more devilish than
ever, will be stored up; more men will be drilled
and the fierce passions of the capitalists will
flame up, and fresh struggle for markets, for
raw materials, for cheap labor, for territories,
and for people to exploit will begin

In this war which is so rapidly developing
about the control of the Pacific and the far
east, the seamen will be, if they permit it, the
agents and the victims of the warning powers.
The ships they man will carry munitions to
bring suffering and death to countless men and
boys, and sorrow, suffering and desolation to
countless mothers, wives, and little children.
Where good men would gladly carry wheat,
and wool and meat to build up strong men and
women out of happy children they will be forced

The seamen, too, will be compelled to use the dead
