his better Judgment directs. II Mr..
Wilson. who at present is the alder
man from the first ward-and has
been for the past several years-isl
elected mayor by the voters of Perth
Amboy you will be assured of a BUSH
ness administration conducted by
one who has had the necessary quail
flying experience in city manage
ment. He knows the city's require
ments and how best to meet them.
MFR. Wilson stands four square oa
all questions for the betierment on
the city of Perth Amboy. His chap
acter is such as will stand a rigid
test. He was born in Monmouth
county and came here while a bay.
having spent the past thirty years
In Perth Amboy where the advarfce-
ment and growth of this city has
meant much ii him. He played an
important part in this development
for many years and has not yet COM
pleted what he believes to be his
civic duty.
After being employed by n con-
tracing concern as superintendent,
during which time he had the OPP
portunity to work with, supervise
and study men. he started in the
contracting business for himself.
This was about five years ago. As
a result of honest dealings and con-
scientious work he has established a
business to which he devotes n large
portion of his time. the duties con-
nected with that of alderman also
requiring considerable work on his
part.
To use Alderman Wilson'S own
words a real" business administra-
ton is what he will give to the peo-
pie of Perth Amboy il houored by
its men and women voters with the
office of mayor. He has always been
in the fore when the interests of the
wage earner were at stake and II
elected as mayor he now promises
to conduct the affairs of this city in
dependently without fear or favor.
William G.. Wilson realizes that
making promises before election and
keeping them after the votes have
told the story are two different
things, but he now pledges himself
in favor of eight main issues COM
prising q platform upon which he
stands and hopes will satisfy the
Perth Amboy voters to such am ex-
tent that they will make him their
next mayor.
II elected. Alderman Wilson says,

in winter: identifying the city by set
