Of campaigning. but 1t was too late.
Probably 1t would have made no
difference, anyway. 1t was a Re-
publican year and the Democratic
candidate, no matter who he might
be, was doomed to defeat from the
beginning.
Mr.. Appleby, the congressman
elect, knows the third district well.
He was born in Middlesex and has
spent most of his life in Monmouth.
He is one of the most prominent
business men in Asbury Park where
he has served as mayor and has
played a prominent part in all the
activities of the shore resort. The
requirements of the district are
familiar to him and he can be de-
pended upon to use his best en-
deavor to accomplish the results so
greatly desired here.
In Washington Mr.. Appleby
promises to be as successful as he
has been in Asbury Park. He has
we'll earned the distinction that is
now his.

But what Il was that made me sore.
1 don't remember any more. a year
ago, l wist and wot. my grumblings
made the welkin hot: the burdens |
was doomed TO bear seemed greater
than a man should wear: but what
those burdens were that CALLED my
shoulders till / wept and bawled, 1
don't recall: how can one say what
CHANGED a year ago today? Today
I'm weeping by the hour: the life I
live seems lemon-sour; the govern

for a man to drink, the baseball
scandal broke my heart. my ding
donged auto will not start. But If
you meet me n year hence, and

look me in the yes and say, I'VE
met one year ago today. and you
were shedding bitter tears, and had

FOR CONGRESS

T. Frank Appleby will make a
good congressman. The voters of
the third congressional district have
chosen we'll. The outlook for a Re-
publican landslide from the very
start Of the campaign indicated the
Monmouth county mans election
and few people were surprised OF
the result except for the size Of the
majority.
Mr.. Appleby will be the first con-
gresham from Monmouth county in
a great many years. 1t is time that
they had a turn down that way.
Monmouth is a large and growing
county. 1t has more registered
voters than Middlesex. Yet, for one
reason or another. it has never been
able to secure representation. Prob
ably the inability Of the politicians
down there to get together on a
candidate that they all could sup
port was the cause.
At last. however. Monmouth's
turn has arrived. The Republicans
of Middlesex, while having a candi-
date of their W at the primaries,
failed to support him in the face OF
Mr.. Appleby's popularity. The time
being opportune for Republican sue
cess, Mr.. Appleby wins.
The Democrats seemed to realize
the hopelessness of their cause from
the start. DR.. w. E. Ramsay was
persuaded to accept the nomination
that had apparently gone begging
for a long time. and he took it upon
himself to lead a forlorn cause
Doubtless feeling that his only
chance rested with an appeal to the
wet element in the district, he
launched forth a campaign in be-
half Of the modification of the Vol
stead act. He was unfortunate IL
his method of campaigning by a
once alternating the women voters
by insisting that under the prohibi'
ton enforcement laws as they stant
today women were more addicted Il
drink than ever before and tha'
they were even feeding it to theil
babies in their homes. He based hi!
statement on his practice as 6
physician in this city and. accord
ingly. gave the impression tina
Perth Amboy was filed with drunk
en- women and supplied babies.
Apparently the doctor realized hi
mistake for he changed his method

WILSON

Alderman william G. Wilson has
reason to feel proud of the rousing
majority given him for mayor yester-
day. Any man who can secur such
a vote of confidence by his fellow-cit-
fzens-people with whom he is inti-
mately acquainted and with whom
he mingles every day-certainly has
some great expectations to live up to,
Judging from his record as alder
man the ~mayor-elect will not disap.
point the voters.
Mayor Dorsey tasted the sweets OF
victory two years ago when he de-
feated the late John +. TenBroeck
who was a victim of having perform
ed his duty without bias or prejudics
during the war as the head of the
draft board. Mayor Dorsey goes
down to defeat as did the late Mayor
TenBroeck largely because of action.
he took in the line of what he believ-
ed to be his duty regardless of the
Of the act.
To be mayor of a large and grow
ing city like Perth Amboy is no small
honor. 1t requires a real man to
represent it c%reditably. The city Is
Just entering on an era of great de-
velopment. The future has wonder
full things in store. Much depends on
the way public affairs are admins
tered, whether the city will make the
most of its opportunity or not.
Too much must not be expected,
however, of any city official. no mat
ter how capable he may be because
Of the antiquated form of govern
ment he has to work under. With a
charter over fifty years old, drawn
UP for a country town of two or three
Thousand inhabitants and with num-
erous state laws more or less con-
flicting, ii is hard to steer a straight
course. Alderman Wilson has had
long experience in city affairs, how
ever, and If anyone is qualified to ac-
complish the best results he ought
ito be.
Everyone interested IN the welfare
rof Perth Amboy will surely wish
Mayor-elect Wilson all the success
possible and will do everything in
their power to cooperate with him
in making Perth Amboy a bigger and
better city in which to live and do
business.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1920


Newspaper Syndicate.)
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER a, 1920
During business hours of this day
kindly stars rule. according to astrol-
ogy, but the evening is exceedingly
menacing. Jupiter is in benefic as
pect until late in the afternoon. Sa-
turn also being friendly. After sun
down. however, threatening stars rule
for Saturn changes to evil sway, while
Mercury and Uranus are adverse.
There is a most promising rule for
business and commerce, the stars
foreshadowing organization and effi-
cheney so well developed that the
greatest profits are assured, especial
ly in all lines of manufacturing.
This is a favorable government of
the stars under which to plan initia-
tive and extension of business.
There Is a sign read as indicating
good luck for men who enter bust
ness partnerships with women, since
the stars seem to presage develop
ment of the feminine mind along logi-
cal and commercial lines of thought.
Real estate should be profitable at
this time. women being especially
fortunate in the directions of their
stars.

Roosevelt and Prohibition.

John j.. Leary, one of Theodore
Roosevelt's biographers in his VOL
ume. Talks With T. r." gives the
former Presidents views on prohibit
ton.
IF prohibition goes through" said
Mr.. Roosevelt, where does the So
ciar side of life come in? We both
know that a dry dinner is apt to be
a sad sort of affair. 1t will make
dining a lost art. I am sorry that
they r pressing prohibition so
hard at this time. 1t is a mistake,
l think, to stop Or try to stop the
use of beers and the lighter kind Of
wines"
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-11-03

OF course, such an attitude as
this has been ridiculed by the sup
porters Of Cox, they insisting that 1t
was impossible to be for the League
of Nations and deliberately advo-
cate the election of a man who said
he wanted to scrap" it as soon as
possible. But the basis Of the pro-
league support for Harding has
been that with Harding in the White
House the reservations proposed by
the senate, without which the peace
treaty containing the league cove
nant would not be ratified. would
be accepted and some sort of a
league would be adopted with the
United States in it. On the other
hand, to elect Cox would only in
vite the same deadlock that has
prevented the United States from
entering the league from the begin
ming.
In spite of the attitude that Sena-
tors johnson and Borah have as
sumed in their support of Harding
on the ground that he is utterly
opposed to any kind of a league, 1t
is generally accepted throughout
the country that under a Republican
administration the differences now
existing about the league covenant
will be Strengthened out and, as the
EVENING NEWS has predicted
from the beginning. the United
States will be playing a leading part
in the League of Nations before an
other year passes.
The Republican party has been
the great international party from
the beginning. 1t was only because
Woodrow Wilson stole their thunder
that they were forced to take the
opposite side in this great question
In order to be against Wilson. With
the President out of the way the
Republicans are left to carry on
things in their own way and we
have not the slightest doubt that
they will soon find a way to put the
United States side by side with her
sister nations in advancing the
worlds peace.
While 1t is true that persons de-
string to cast their ballot exclusively
on the League of Nations issue felt
compelled to vote for Cox because
of the uncertain and webbing atti-
tude Of Harding, thousands of peo-
pie who believe in the League of
Nations refused to accept the league
as the paramount issue; they denied
that the election was a solemn refer
endum on this issue alone. and,
realizing the influence Of Taft. Root
and others in behalf of the league
should Harding be elected, they did
not hesitate for an instant to vote
for the Republican candidate.
While the result of the election
yesterday did % give the League
of Nations the out and out endorse
ment that the advocates of the
league might have wished, it is an
election that indicates a desire for
the United States to enter a league
to advance the cause of peace: as
there is no chance of having any
other league, it looks as If the exist
ing league would have to do. Leave
it to Root and Taft to find a way to
enter the present league without
forcing the President-elect to stulti-
fy himself.
In spite of the defeat of Cox,
therefore, the entry of the United
States into the League of Nations is
as certain as anything can be.

VICTORY

Senator Harding's sweeping vic
tory at the polls yesterday was
generally conceded from the begin
ming of the campaign. AS the
EVENING NEWS stated in an edi-
torial a few days ago. it was a case
OF the Republicans having the votes
and the Democrats having the argu-
ment. The vast majority of the
people had made up their minds
long ago, even before the nomina-
tons were made, how they were
going to vote and nothing whatever
could change them. The far-sighted
political leaders of the Republican
party saw this and it was because
they were so sure how the election
was going to go that they dared to
nominate q man of Harding's cali
bre.
There is no reason for believing
that MI. Harding will make a great
President. He has done any,
thing to distinguish himself and 1t
I. = likely that he never will. He has
admitted his w weakness many
times. He will be easily influenced
by the group Of Republican senator's
who have been trying 80 long to get
control Of affairs. That conditions
will be more harmonious at Wash
ington there is no doubt, and this
will be a decided advantage.
AZ for Harding's policies, no one
knows much what they are. 1t is
doubtful IL he has n policies. His
Americanism cannot be questioned,
however, and the government will
be absolutely safe in his hands. In
fact, the known conservatism Of
Harding u the nation OF a
conservative administration. The
fact that the Republican party is
now In the control of the conserva-
tive element in the country is fur
.tber assurance of a safe" admin
lration.
Senator Harding did not have to
put up much of a campaign to win.
He left his front porch once or
twice, to be sure. but most of the
time he sat back and enjoyed life
while his opponent went cavorting
all over the country. The issue
raised early in the campaign about
Sfhe Republicans money barrel did
not last very long. The nation
seemed to take it for granted that
the Republicans would have all the
) cash they needed and more besides.
2 1t was pretty hard shedding for the
\ Democrats in this regard. Having
Y thus had the great Office of Presi-
Z dent of the United States handed to
y him on a silver platter, as It were,
=. is for Mr.. Harding to show that
4 no is worthy of the great trust
5 placed in him.
But, after all, 1t is not so much
confidence in Harding that the peo'
-~ple have shown as it is confidence
in the Republican party. There !,
q universal desire for a genuine
house-cleaning at Washington and
it was felt that the election of q
Republican administration was th'
only means of accomplishing it.
Senator Harding goes to thu
White House at one of the mos
critical times in the nations history
That he will seek the advice of tn,
great leaders of his party there /
no doubt.
1t was with many misgivings tina
thousands of people cast their bal
lot yesterday. Now that the choice
has been made It is the duty o
everyone to accept the result as i
Is and join loyalty in upholding TIL
government in the great task tina
lies before 1t.
