II you are one OF those persons
who have decided to present your
self with an automobile or a big bag
of gold in The Idaho Republicans s
tremendous gift distribution, it is
safe to bet this evening that your
first thought was: How many votes
am l going to get and how can in
crease my hold this week."
And you are right. Now is the
time to let loose the brakes. In the
language of the aviator, this is the
time for the nose dive" the big
glide before the landing. The Idaho
Republicans Everybody Wins
election is fast reaching its goal. If
you are game you can land car.
It's up to you.
There are only six days left Of
the present vote offer.
Briefly, every "a dollars
worth of subscriptions turned
in during the next few days
means from 344, 900 to 100000
votes, depending upon the
length of the subscriptions that
compose the "club."
There you are in nut shell. Now
what can you do in six days? Lots
of things. If you had but six days
to live, you could get lots of things
done. Couldn't you?
Well, you've got just six days to
turn in these $24 clubs of subscrip-
tions and receive 100000 votes for
them. In that time, before next
Monday night-you can add i'm
mensely to your present total of
votes.
When the curfew tolls at 10 next
Monday night, you'll be nearer the
big landing.
This week, then, is the time to
dig in,' and gather the votes while
they are plentiful because of the big
vote schedule. This big vote sched-
ule will be the means of many candi-
dates coming from low to high po-
sitions on the list and will be op-
portunity for aspiring men and wom-
en- to go over the top in a very
few days.
With every hour that the big
Ben ticks off this week, there is
double inspiration to get out and
make sure of being on the top of the
large prize winners on the list. 1t is
week when your time is really
worth money-whole stacks Of it. 1t
is THE time of the election for real
results to be apparent. Another fea-
ture that makes the extra vote Of
fer invaluable when results are con-
sidered is the fact that there is no
limit to the number of clubs one may
secure. Just as soon as you COM

STONE HURLED THROUGH
WINDOW AT so. AMBOY

SOUTH AMBOY. Aug. Z. - A
member of the Jr. o. U. A. NJ. was
struck in the back and slightly hurt
last night by a stone the size of a
baseball thrown through the window
of the Knights of Pythias Hall were
a meeting of the organization was in
session. The man struck was a VT
sitor from Red Bank, and the local
members OF the lodge are perturbed
over the impression which an out of
towner might carry back with him.
AS the result of this act. the
members of the Joel Parker Council
are offering a substantial reward for
the arrest of the man or men who
are responsible for throwing the
stone. Every effort will be made to
reach the guilty party.
These troubles were anticipated
and an effort had been made to get
an officer earlier in the evening, but
with no success. The purpose in pro-
curing the officer was to guard the
fifty or more automobiles that were
parked in the vicinity of the hall.
After the outbreak. another effort
to get an officer proved equally un-
successful as the call to city hall
brought no response. Several
members started in search of as
sistance and a half hour later a
patrolman appeared on the scene and
no further trouble was experienced.

CITY PROTESTS
BRIDGE DELAY
Resolution Sent to Governor
and State Highway Com
mission Asking Speed.
TAKING TOO LONG, CLAIM
An Examination of Situation
Made and Officials Believe
Too Much Time is Taken.

At meeting of the Board of AL
dermen here last night a resolution
urging the State Highway Commis-
sion to rush the repair work on the
state bridge between this city and
South Amboy was passed by the
entire vote of the council.
1t is believed by the city officials
after a thorough examination of the
entire situation that the work of re-
ceeding as fast as 1t should. 1t is a
known fact to everyone that the
traffic through the city over the
week ends is decidedly less than 1t
was when the bridge was in opera
ton, and the fact is inescapable that
a great loss is consequently suffered
by the business men of the city.
The announcement came from the
state highway department but recent
ly that the bridge would again be In
operation either the latter part of
this week or the early part OF next,
and yet an examination Of the
work upon the span seems to indicate
that it will be some time before the
repairing will have been finished. Up
until an early day in this week none
of the new mechanism had been
placed, and 1t was rumored that Sc
veral of the vitality important parts
had yet to arrive.
The resolution as adopted by the
council is a follows:
Whereas the county bridge has
now been closed for almost two
weeks. and
Whereas by reason thereof great
loss is being sustained by the
merchants and people OF this city
and vicinity, and
Whereas it is the opinion OF this
council that the repairs to said
bridge are not being proceeded with
as rapidly as might be.
Now, therefore, be 1t resolved
that we urge the State Highway
Commission to take immediate steps
to speed the work of completing
said repairs.
BE 1t further resolved that the
clerk of this board forward by tele-
graph a copy of the resolutions to
the governor of the state of New
Jersey, also copy to the State High
way Com mission.

the streets of West Frankfort to-
day, but there were no indications
of recurrence of Thursday nights

agreed that the trouble apparently
had passed.

have taken charge of the situation
said they did not know just when
the troops would be recalled.
Efforts of National Guard officers
to learn the identity of five persons

the officers to express the belief that
none was killed. 4
About forty Inen, mostly Italians
were beaten by the rioters.

GAINS FAVOR
Lyon Says Move is Gaining
Support on All Sides -
Shed Light on Statements

Adrian Lyon. president Of the Com
mission Government Association. this
morning expressed his opinion OF
some statements that have been cir
culated by those in opposition to the
movement and also told OF the sentl-
ment of the majority of the people
with whom he has had intercourse
on this subject. Mr.. Lyon said:
"The commission government cam
paign is progressing very favorably.
II is remarkable how many men have
either come to me or met me on the
street and say that they entirely
favor the movement and regret that
no one had called upon them with
the petition for their signature. The
very best sentiment of the com :
munity seems to be in favor OF the
movement.
"It is a matter of note. too. how
many statements are being made
against the movement that are un-
true. For example. one man said
to me that 1t was rumored that the
recorder under the new form or
must be a lawyer and
that for that reason some one was
seeking a job. That is absolutely
untrue There Is no such provision
in the law.
''The sentiment is quite freely
circulated that the movement in
other respects is in order that
other persons may get in Office.
cannot too emphatically deny these
stories. I know the origin of the
and all the efforts that
have been and are being made to
further its success and cannot say
more than I have said before. that
is is only and entirely a movement
to benefit the whole city and every
citizen alike without reference to the
selfish interest of any man.
II is my opinion that the great
mass OF our citizens believe this state
ment TO be true and will act accord
ingly on election day"

The recommendation was re-
ceived, spread on the minutes of the
meeting and copy sent to Senator
