Many at County Outing Today
City Political Situation
Is Discussed.

SOUTH AMBOY. Aug. 9-Predic-
tons to the effect hat this year
would find South Amboy the center
of n of the bitterest political fights
ever staged is gradually dawning 10
a reality.
Michael ]. Stanton, present mem
Der of the common council, and act
ing mayor, has received the endorse
ment of the South Amboy Demo-
cratic Club as a candidate for the
office of chief executive at the pri-
maries. Foil owing this endorse
ment, came the announcement that
former Senator Daniel c. Chase
maries.
The Republican Club of this city
has not as yet endorsed n can
didate. although six prominent men
of the city have been suggested by
the members of that organization.
Men directly affiliated with that or
ganization ARE Of the opinion that
no candidate will be endorsed by
hat body.
The names mentioned for the Of
fee Of mayor follow:
G.. Frank Disbrow, present coun-
Gilman, who has declared his inten-
ton of running in the primaries. He
has an exceptionally large following
who are loud in acclaiming him as
the logical candidate for that office.
His stand on economy platform dur
ing the past year of his political ca
EEL has gained Lor him a large fol-
lowing. Coupled with the name of
Mr.. Disbrow are those of Richard
G.. Stepheson. of the First Ma
tional bank j. Alfred Johnson,
Richard f. Carroll, Elias S. Mason,
O fthe firm E. s. Mason & Son. Of
this city; Donald w. Reed, of the
Coal Dock Company. of this city.
While a number of these men have
disclaimed n intention OF entering
the race, still there is a possibility
that there will be a primary contest.
There is a prediction current are
some who say that Disbrow will not
be opposed at the primaries.
Taking it for granted that Dis
brow is the choice of the Republican
party, just how he will size up as
with either Stanton or Chase is a
problem many are trying to size up.
To a great extent the women
voters of this city were slow to take
advantage of the new honor afford
ed them recently, but things have
taken on a different aspect of late
and both parties look forward to
entertaining a large number of the
members Of the fair sex, who are
h~ungering for a chance to enter
into the business of politics. Just
what effect they will have in this
city should be CLEARLY manifested in
the very near future.
In the third ward Of this city an
interesting fight is predicted. IT was
from this ward that present Coun-
Gilman VI. J.. Stanton was sent 10
represent the people on four differ-
emit occasions. This year John j.
Connors. son of Street Commis-
sioner John j. Connors. endorsed by
the South Amboy Democratic Clup'
will probably oppose Frank IA
bosky, prominently mentioned py
the Republicans. Both are excep-
| tionally young men, equally known
about the city and both conceded &c
be we'll able to represent their WORK
| Kabosky has not yet consented &c
run. but his followers are or the
opinion that he will enter the race
Little has been said about a posi-
hIe candidate for councilman-at-
large to oppose Richard U. Rue. re-
Gently endorsed by the
club. From a reliable source comes
the information. that James n
Hackett will in all probability be the
man. r
Mr.. uackett, who is a former
councilman who ran against the

a very creditable showing. Inat
he is one of the strongest caEui-
dates that could be advanced py
the Republican party at this tlme,
is not denied and many await the
decision Of MI. Hackett l n regard
to the matter.
