MAYOR ACTS ON
GAS SPROTESTS
Pressure Very Low, People
Being Unable to Cook; Dor
y Takes Matter Up.

Or some time past the service
in this city furnished by the Perth
Amboy Gas Light Company has
been cause for complaint. Yesterday
the climax was reached when it be-
came impossible to get enough gas
for cooking purposes and at least
thirty complaints from residents in
various parts of the city were re-
ceived by Mayor Frank Dorsey.
The shortage of gas yesterday
worked a hardship on the Jewish
people of this city, inasmuch as to-
day and tomorrow being holidays
they do no cooking, but cook enough
food to last over the two days.
Other nationalities in the city found
1t impossible to get dinner and al
though quarter after quarter were
placed in the meter no results were
obtained.
Mayor Dorsey today was in com
munication with John w. Whelan,
the acting head of the gas com
pany, and he informed the Mayor
that the company would have state
ment ready tomorrow. The trouble,
Mr.. Wbelan informed the mayor, is
being investigated today by Albert
f. Reitemeyer of the local Office.

RAMSAY WILL
NAME ISSUES
Democratic Candidate for
Congress Has About Com
pIeted Conference Schedule

DR.. William Z. Ramsay, Demo-
crat candidate in the primaries for
congressman in the third congress
sional district, has about completed
the schedule of conferences he had
outlined with party leaders in Mid
dlesex, Monmouth and Ocean coun-
ties and will be in position to an
nounce his campaign issues within
few hours. The last of the con-
ferences were completed last week.
when he conferred with the party
leaders in Monmouth county.
Everything indicates a whirlwind
campaign. as far as the Democratic
party is concerned, following the
primaries. 1t is likely that the
Democrats will push the Republi-
can candidates from every angle,
for while the Republicans have
been fighting the primary cam
paign, the Democrats, who have
but few primary contests, have been
planning the program to be carried
out during the general election
campaign against the Republican
candidates. ~
1t is more than likely that the
Democratic campaign in this dis
trict will be under the direction of
Congressman Thomas j. Scully, who
since he would not run for reelec-
ton to congress. has entered the
contest for mayor of South Amboy.
1t is under his direction that the
first big meeting of the campaign
will be held in South Amboy next
Thursday night, at which time all
candidates in the district and
speakers from the National Demo-
cratic campaign committee will be
present.
The first meeting of the Perth
Amboy Democratic Club will be
held this week. but the exact date
has not been decided upon as yet.
AT this meeting the campaign as
far as it concerns this city will be
discussed and the program worked
out. In Saturdays issue Of the
EVENING NEWS the club was
mentioned as the Frank Dorsey
Democratic Club. This was an err
ror for although Mayor Frank
Dorsey is president of the club, the
organization is known as the Perth
Amboy Democratic Club.

from Central New Jersey were pres
ent to hear the stirring speeches
made by Mr.. King. congressman.
candidates for congress and the
president of the state senate.
The meeting was primarily a
Harding Coolidge rally and the en-
thusiasm showed by the Republi-
cans present gave promise of active
work on their part in putting in Of
flee at the White House the Repub-
lican choice. Mr.. King. in address
ing his audience as presiding officer
OF the meeting, pointed out that con-
fidence in the government by the peo
PIE of the United States will be re-
stored with the election of a Repub-
lican as president. The voters, he
said, cannot be contented with cast
ing their ballots for Harding and
Coolidge. but must elect Republican
congressman and senators in order
to have harmony at Washington.
Invitations had been extended to
all of the Republican candidates for
governor in last years primaries to
attend, and also to the two U. s.
senators and other prominent Re-
publicans. but for various reasons
they were upabfe TO attend. --s-ls

Park, both candidates for the con-
bination in the third district, were
present and spoke.

son, of the fourth district; Col Hor-
ace NJ. Reading, of Trenton; Capt.
p. T. Ripley. also of Trenton, and
Senator Clarence Z. Case. president
of that body. were the other speak
ers. Congressman Hutchinson,
speaking on the wet" and dry" is
sue, announced that he did not favor
light wines or beer. Col Reading
however, announced that he stood
for the modification of the Volstead
act insofar as it effected light wines
and beer.
Senator Case made one OF the
strongest appeals for the support OF
Republican ideals ever heard in
this county. He made an attack up
on Governor Edwards for the rank
partisanship," which the speaker
claimed, was the cause of the GUST
ing of the state highway commission.
At the close of the meeting en-
tertainment was furnished by q
colored quartet, refreshments were
served and a general get-together
was held on the lawn, the various
candidates being introduced to the
men present. Patriotic songs were
rendered between speeches. The
porch of the King home was decor
ated with red, white and blue bunt-
ing for the occasion and pictures OF
Harding and Coolidge were con-
spicuous in many parts of the
estate. The grounds were thrown
open to Mr.. Kings guests, a recep-
tion committee receiving the Re-
publicans as they arrived. The
meeting started at 3 o'clock and
continued until $3.50 o'clock.

FINED FOR BEING DRUNK;
FEDERAL AGENTS ACT

Samuel Little, of Woodmansie. N.
j., arrested by Roundsman William
Calvin last night on a drunk and
disorderly charge, and who was
found to have seven bottles of
liquor in his car which he left in a
garage, was fined $40 by Recorder
Pickersgill this morning on the first
charge, and held pending an inves-
tigation by Prohibition Enforcement
Officer Alfred Kerr on the second
charge. The enforcement officer
was notified and consulted with
Chief Burke regarding the case, az
ter which he talked the matter over
with Commissioner John Delaney.
1t is believed the liquor carrying
charge is not very strong due to the
fact that the goods were found in
the car and not on the man.
The roundsman picked the man
up on Sheridan street, and in court
this morning he admitted that the
liquor belonged to him.

tion last year will not have to re-
gister tomorrow in order to be

women are taking great interest
in politics as is proven by the at
tendance at meetings held last week
