Open Air Meeting Will be Held
Here Late Wednesday Af-
ternoon--PIan for Welcome
BOTH FAMOUS. SPEAKERS
Primaries Are Being Held To-
day in Michigan -Hoover's
Name is on Both Tickets

United States Senators Hiram w.
johnson, of California, and William L.
Borah. of Idaho. will speak in this
city late Wednesday afternoon at an
Iopen-ai meeting, according TO infor-
nation received by Morgan +. Larson
president of the Perth Amboy Repub-
lican Club. Both of these men who are
known all over the country for their
oratorial ability and the great weight
their decisions carry in congress, will
speak in New Brunswick Wednesday
night accounts to the reports received
here.
Senator Johnson has gained a big
following in the east as the result of
his persuasive arguments which he
has put up to the people in asking
them to support him in his race for
the presidential nomination on the
Republican ticket. At the meetings
in New York, which he addressed.
standing room was at premium and
his speeches made a, marked impress
sion.
Senator Borah is recognized as one
of the most forceful and eloquent
speakers of which this country can
boast and the fact that he will be in
Perth Amboy on the same day with
Senator Johnson will give residents
here and in this vicinity an opportun-
fly which, 1t is expected, many will
take advantage Of
The Perth Amboy Republican Club
has not pledged itself to the support
of Johnson by making the plans for
this open-air meeting on Wednesday.
Mr.. Larson stated this morning that
the club had adopted the policy of
hearing every presidential candidate
who wished t. speak N ti.'7 city, all
Lclng treated with the same courte.y.
Details of Wednesdays meeting are
Republican Club has named commit
tee to meet and welcome the senator's
and arrange for the meeting. 1t is
possible that the meeting will be held
in Hobart street, close to the corner
of Smith street as this is about the
most centrally located place that could
be secured without interfering with
traffic. The exact time has not been
announced as yet.
The sentiment in this city to date
has been mostly Wood, as far as the
Republicans are concerned, but 1t
may be that after hearing Senator
Johnson speak there will be q differ
ence of opinion among the G. o. p.
voters
AS neither Senator Johnson nor
Senator Borah will be permitted to
stay in this city long an indoor meet
ing will not be attempted. The fact
that the meeting will have to be held
in the afternoon would also discour-
age the idea of an indoor meeting as
1t would be difficult to get as large a
crowd as will be possible in the open
air

LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

The fact that SO many government war time
Liberty Loan bonds have been placed on the
market has brought the price of these securi-
les to low level
1t is known that large per cent of the pro-
leeds of these bond sales has been used in spec
ulative and non-essential investments.
We believe that in the very near future the
market price of these bonds will advance.
And we therefore would advise you to hold
to these good government securities.
