By Special Correspondent
SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. IS. - The
closing meeting OF the longest
primary campaign in local history
was held In this city last night. The
keynote speech Of the evening was
made by Chairman William S. Dey
who defended the acts of the present
board Of freeholders and requested
the return of a Republican board
and the election of Republicans In
every Office. He criticized the action
OF the State Highway department in
closing the bridge during the summer
and for the neglect TO dynamite the
ice last winter. Mr.. Dey introduced
as the first speaker of the evening
Mrs. Joseph NJ. Thompson, of New
Egypt, who represented her husband
who is a candidate for the nomination
to congress.
Mrs. Thompson opened up her
remarks by complimenting Mr..
Herbert and Mr.. Appleby in the
gentlemanly in which they
have treated herself and husband.
Mrs. Thompson told of the urging
of Mr.. Thompson's friends and his
final consent only after It was pointed
out that with his fifteen years ex-
perfence in Washington he was the
best qualified man for the position.
She told OF the various principles for
which he stood laying particular
stress on his efforts TO reduce the
high cost of living by having laws
passed giving a Jail sentence for all
profteers. Mrs. Thompson devoted
the major portion of her speech 10
instructing the women in the proper
method OF voting and urging them to
take advantage of the enfranchise-
ment.
John A. Lovely OF this city was
the next speaker. He outlined what
had been accomplished by the Demo-
Gratis while in power and then point
ed out their many mistakes. He urged

that he did not think it right to go
on with the project just at this time.
Mr. Dorsey said he favored a city
plan, and that when the aldermen
allotted $4,000 for city plan he
thought that something would be
done. The idea was to appoint a
city planning commission consisting
of three laymen and three alder
men. THE three aldermen were
appointed" said the Mayor. but

men" IF we want a city planning
commission we want people on that
commission who do not hold office

to suit the plan to changing the
plan to suit the building" II want
a commission entirely foreign to any
elective Office"
He advocated the placing of wo-
men on the various boards of the
city. He recalled that back in the
late Mayor TenBroeck's term Of Of
fee, TenBroeck endeavored to place
women on the Board of Education,
and that he had done likewise, but
found 1t impossible because under
the city charter a person to serve
on city boards must be a citizen.
Under the law. before women suf-
frag e, the women were not citizens
and therefore could not be appoint
ed on the board. Now since the
women have obtained suffrage they
arc citizens and said the mayor,
IF elected. women will be appoint
ed on the school board"
At the next meeting of the alder
men, the Mayor said he would ap-
point women to I'LL the vacancy on
the Park Board and on the play
ground commission.
In closing the Mayor said he had
always advocated a bathing beach,
and had such a beach mapped out
on the proposed soldiers memorial.
but you all know" said the Mayor,
that during the past two years was
no time to spend the taxpayers
money for this purpose" He said
that a bathing beach should be pro-
vided along the water front for the
people of this city and that he will
work for that end.
