SCULLY IN CHALLENGE To
CHARGES OF HACkETT
BY Special Correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOY, Oct. Am a sem
sational come back Congressman
Scully has demanded that Hackett,
his opponent for mayor, prove his
charge that Scully will spend $4,000
to ecure the election. Mr.. S%cully's
statement is as follows:
"Of course l never said anything
of the kind (this in answer to a
question concerning the twenty
thousand) and Mr.. Hackett now
that l did not.
1T is rather an insulting thing to
say about his fellow citizen, to sug-
gest that they're selling the mayor
atty to the highest bidder. and for
that reason 1 would like to give Mr..
Hackett an opportunity to prove his
statement or to retract it, If he cam
not prove it. With that object in
mind / will hire any hall he suggests
and will ask him to bring his infor-
mant on the platform to back up his
insulting charge. I'll be there, too,
and / will expect to see the proof of
the statement or to hear the retrac-
ton.
IF / am elected mayor of South
Amboy it will be by the free will and
good will of my fellow citizens, and
not because those citizens are for
sale, as Mr.. Hackett suggests.
I'm the n speech | have made
in this campaign. / said that 1
would say nothing derogatory to Mr..
Hackett, and l still see no reason
why l should or what the citizens of
South Amboy would gain by it if 1
did. / am going to adhere to my
original determination in that re-
spect whatever Mr.. Hackett may do.
AS to the 100000, 1t is a serious
thing to charge a man with trying
to buy an office, particularly when
that Office is one of honor and dig
nifty. 1 want to say now, because l
honestly and sincerely believe it to
be true, that neither I nor other man
can buy the mayoralty of South Am
boy. either for $40, 900 or 5000, 900.
There may be places where money
wins elections, but / am proud to be
able to say that South Amboy is not
m of them. And l have that on
the authority of the so-called prac-
teal politicians of both parties.
When Mr. Hackett charges the con-
trary he ISLANDERS the citizens of the
community which he seeks to repre-
sent as it's chief executive. I will
leave 1t to the citizens to decide
whether they resent such accusa-
tions or not. and will at this time re-
iterate my challenge to Mr.. Hackett
to produce his proof or retract his
statement"
The above statement is a reply
to the sensational speech made by
Mr.. Hackett at the meeting of the
Republican Club last Monday.

STATE SCHOOL BOARD DENY
MISAPPROPRIATING MONEY

TRENTON, Oct. 4.-The Board of
Education has approved the answer
made by its committee on Vocational
Training denying the charge of
Thomas ]. Brogsn, of Jersey City,
to the effect that the board is vio-
lating the provisions of the Smith
Hughes Vocational Training Law,
passed by Congress. in that it is per-
hitting some of the vocational train
ing funds to go to Rutgers College,
which Brogan contends is a private
Institution. and therefore barred I'M
Ger the act. Brogan took the mat
ter up in his individual capacity as a
citizen of the state and not as an Of
fetal of the law department of Jer-
soy City, with which he is connect
ed
Oscar w. Jeffrey, of Englewood, a
member of the board and chairmen
of the Committee on Vocational
Training, in answering the conten-
ton of the Jersey City man, declar-
ed: Not n cent of money coming
to us under the Smith-Hughes Act is
being applied to Rutgers College"
He asked the board to approve the
answer which was in writing, which
was done, John Z. Murray, of Jer-
sey City, who several years ago
charged that Rutgers should not re-
ceive public education moneys be-
cause it has sectarian connections,
voted no.
II dissent on the ground hereto
fore stated by me-" declared Murray.
The report says 1t is estimated
there are, between the ages of Fl
and so. in New Jersey approximate
ly 100000 self-admitted il~literate
and non-English speaking residents.
The government reports show that
5000 foreigners are entering our
country each day and experience has
taught that New Jersey gets more
than her share of this popula-
ton. Many of them go into indus
trial lines of work. I'VE do not hesi-
ate to say that industry and the
Americanizing process are N and
~inseperable. The only cure for IL
literacy and ineficiency is educat-
ion," says the report. Accompany
ing the survey was the plan of or
SANITATION for the education of SOL
diers put into operation at Camp
Upton, New York.
DIR. John G.. Van Dyke, OF New
Brunswick, said the paramount aim
Of the foreigners in America is to
ret more money" and that Amer
lean ideals should be brought to him
through some appeal to his desire
for financial advancement.
The report is to be given further
consideration by the State Board.
