CLAIMS SEN. BROWN WAS
ERRONEOUS IN STATEMENT

Assessor William L. Mccullough
this morning made a statement TO
the Evening News in which he
claims that Senator Thomas Brown
made an erroneous statement in his
talk before the sixth ward Demo-
Gratis Friday night while referring
to the taxable values of the va
rious parts OF the cnty. Senator
Brown made the assertion that the
sixth ward residents were the .arS
est taxpayers in the city and san
the taxable value of the first dis
t.ict which coHlprises all of the ter
ritory south of Smith street is ST.
.3Ii.13O. That If ;ha second 5lsiric.
he said S1O,692,000. this incl uding
part of the sixth ward. The third
district he said has a taxable value
of S9.S0O.250.
Mr.. Mccullough stated today that
the taxable values in the first ward
are s11,374,130 and not Sl,374,lS SO
as Senator Brown had stated Dill
ference of $4,000, 900. The first
district and not the second or third
districts, Mr.. Mccullough pointed
out, is the section of the city where
the taxes are the highest. The
assessor claims that Senator
Browns comparisons were wrong
ara erroneous and also added that
in the third district, which taxes in
the sixth ward. the A. S. & r., Bar
Der Asphalt Company and other IN
dustries are included"

RIVAL LEADERS EXPRESS
CONFIDENCE OF VICTORY

In another twenty-four hours the
voters of this city-about 5000 IN
number-will be going to the polls
to cast their ballots for the men
who, in their estimation, are pest
fitted to carry on the business ad-
ministration of Perth Amboy. the
candidates in an effort to take ad-
vantage of the few remaining nours
are today finishing u campaigns
which have been of the intensive
variety, especially for the past two
or three weeks.
Both sides express confidence In
their candidates. Local interest
seems to be centered in the outcome
of the sixth ward contest, the DEM
ocrats having aimed all of their big
guns" in this direction in an effort
to put across a vote larg enough TO
not only elect a Democratic alder
man but to make the election or
Democratic alderman-at-large as
sured as well. The Republicans,
however, feel that they have coun-
teracted this effort and will return
to the Board of Aldermen the man
who is now there and is running for
election. They figure likewise that
a victory for the Republican alder
man in the ward will make certain
the reelection of their alderman-at-
large. -,
Although realizing that there will
be some close contests at the polls
tomorrow on both city and county
tickets. the Republican leaders this
morning were optimistic concerning
the results of the election.
County Chairman John Pfeiffe-
declared this morning that "the pros
poets for a Republican clean sweep
in the county and city are very good
indeed"
"I loo,. for a Republican victory
all the way from the top of the coun-
ty slate down to the bottom of the
city ticket" Mr.. Pfeiffer said.
Perth Amboy Will do itself proud
at the polls tomorrow by voting for
the men whom the voters now real
ize have made good while in office
and are deserving of reelection
These men have protected the inter-
ests of the taxpayers and deserve
their support at the polls"
Senator Thomas Brown said:
"The reports from every part OF
the county and city indicate that
there is going to be shift in the
vote from that of last year which
will favor the Democratic party.
The numerous taxes that have
| been piling up during the last year
under the Republican control III
the state, county and city should
result in reaction at the polls. The
voters will realize that it is a bad
political condition to permit one
party to predominant and will no
doubt place a check upon the Re-
publican party by electing to office
the Democratic nominees.

If New Jersey goes strongly Repup-
lican this year, 1t may be taken as
presaging a G. o. Z. victory year
hence. Vice versa. a Democratic
gain in the legislature, which in the
last session was overwhelmingly Re-
publican, will stir the Democratic
leaders throughout the state to re-
newed efforts for the next and very
important ballot, which in addition
