RAMSAY To AID
n. J. WATERWAY
If Elected, He Says, He Will
Work for Ship Canal =
Takes Issue With AppIeby

''I am for the ship canal across
New Jersey, and If elected will do
all in my power to have it built"
said DIR. William E. Ramsay, candi-
date for the nomination of con-
gresham on the Democratic ticket
in the third congressional district,
today. This is the first statement
that DIR. Ramsay has made on any
of the issues since it became known
that he would be a candidate for
congressional honors.
The proposition of T. Frank Apple
by, one of the Republican candidates
for congressman in the third con-
gressional district, to rebuild the
present Delaware and Raritan Canal
is impractical. DIR. Ramsay pointed
out, for reason that the Pennsylvania
Railroad has continuous lease of
the canal for period of ninety-nine
years with the privilege of renewal.
DR.. Ramsay further stated that he
will work in connection with the
Association and the Atlantic Deeper
Waterway Association. for the con-
struction of the canal, which both
of these organizations are fathering.
Messages are still being received br
DR.. Ramsay from allzeveE@the entite
county. pledging Democrats to his
support. Particularly is this true in
the resort towns along the coast
where much sentiment in favor OF
Ramsay has developed. From
present indications 1t is likely that
DIR. Ramsay win start an active cam
paign as soon as the primaries are
over, and his opponent has been
decided upon.

HOUSE JOURNAL
SENT TO COLBY
Certified Copy of Tennessee
Houses Resembling Action
is on Way to Sec. of State
By The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Sept. "A
certified copy of the Tennessee's ;
House of Representatives journal OF
last Tuesday when an attempt was
made TO rescind ratification by that
body of the federal suffrage amend
ment was in the mails today en-
route to Secretary of State Colby at
Washington.
Governor Roberts announced he
had transmitted the papers at re-
quest of the House. Opponents of
suffrage were hopeful that certif-
cation of the journal to the state de-
partment might aid them in at
tempts to have the United States su-
preme court overthrow ratification
of the amendment. They expressed
confidence that sending of the state
ment of the Houses action Tuesday
to Secretary Colby would result in
this record becoming a part of the
evidence the court is expected to
view.
Suffragists declared that trans
mission of the Journal to Washing
ton would not effect the validity of
the suffrage proclamation issued by
Secretary Colby.

WATSON ANSWERS CANNON
IN ELECTION BOARD CASE

The following statement from
Russell Watson and Charles Nc
Cormick. relative to the fight over
the appointment of the Democratic
members of the election board IN
the second poll of the fifth ward,
this city. was received in this morn
ing's mail from New Brunswick:
AFTER the County Boardsyef Elec-
tions refused to reappoint John
Feeney and ThomasA A. Smith. DEM
ocratic members OF the election
board in the second poll of the fifth
ward of Perth Amboy, County
Clerk B. M. Cannon issued a state
ment defending the board and at
tacking Mr.. Mccormick and myself
for having objected to the reap
pointments. He charged that we
were 'butting in upon a Perth Am
boy affair.
The matter was pending before
Judge Daily for judicial decision.
1t was decided to make no reply to
Mr.. Gannon's statement until after
Judge Daly's decision should be
handed down.
Judge Daily has refused to re-
appoint the officers named, and his
decision is final as to the merits of
the controversy, and fully justifies
the fight which was made by us, as
private citizens.
I'VE feel, however, that Mr.. Gan
mons charge that we were 'butting
in should not go unnoticed.
'.At the election in question both
state and county officials were voted
for. The election was not confined
to Perth Amboy, but was both state
and county wide. The laws of the
state of New Jersey. of which Mr..
Mccormick and 1 are citizens, with
rights equal to those of any other.
even Mr.. Cannon, were violated.
Our objections were made to the
Middlesex County Board of Elec-
tions which represents us as well as
citizens of the city of Perth Amboy,
and toward the expenses of which
we, as taxpayers. contribute. Mr..
Gannon's contention that violations
of the laws of the state of New
Jersey, of which a Middlesex Coun-
ty Board has jurisdiction, which oc-
cur in Perth Amboy are purely
local affair. is one which is unjusti-
fed, legally and morally, and does
no credit to his good judgment"

mo- support Ex-sold.ers.

BY Staff Correspondent
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 4-Ex-
soldiers have signified their inten-
tion of supporting soldier candidates
running for local offices in Highland
Park at the coming election. This
move is believed to be due to the
fact that appointments requested by
some of the soldiers after their re-
turn, were refused by those n
cEarge at present. The first candi-
date to be put up by the new or
ganization is S. NJ Ritchie for bor-
ough council. and ii is likely that the
soldiers win place their candidates
in the field for three vacancies in
the common council.
