his wife because of her indiscre.

The story of old Woodrow is one
people never grow tired. The first

was roughly built with plain board
floors and old fashioned latch
strings. small windows. unique al
ter, uncushioned seats and smoke
colored rafters and this was the
first house of public worship erect
ed by the Methodists on Staten
Island.
The first Methodist sermon said
to have been preached on Staten
Island was in November 1771 by
Francis Asbury, in the home of
Peter Van Pelt, about twelve days
after his arrival in America. The
present church building was erect
ed in 1912. In tho erection of the
first church there were eighty-seven
contributors whose united subscrip-
tons amounted to about $3.50. Is
~raei Dissosway was the largest sub
rriber and he also gave the timber

S|LZER REPLIES
To OPPONENT
Talks on MiddIesex Road
Problems and Amboy Bridge
Approaches

HACKENSACK, Nov. 2:-Judge
Silzer, Democratic candidate for
governor, speaking here last night,
Icommented on the Middlesex coun-
ty road and bridge situation as fol-
lows:
1.-THE question has been raised as
to whether or not 1 know that some
road paving, done in my home
county of Middlesex, cost ~s152, 900,
and that the State Highway Com
mission is responsible for that
price. which is claimed to be ex-
travagant.
ct do not know about this mat
ter, but I have heard the statement
made, and when I am elected, as l
now fully expect 1 will be, a full
investigation of that entire matter
will be one of my first duties.
The fact that the State Highway
Commission was appointed by Gov
ernor Edwards, a Democrat, will
neither stop me from finding out
| the facts, nor prejudice me against
it's actions.
"If l had been in the legislature,
as Mr.. Runyon has been, during
| the past year instead of on the
| bench as a circuit court judge,
| would not have waited to raise my
voice during a political campaign,
from the rear end of an automobile
truck, but would have used my
| position as senator to go into costs
of paving when the senate was in
session.
"The question has been raised as
to whether Or lot I know hat the
approaches to the proposed Amboy
bridge cost $230.000 when they
| might have been acquired through
condemnation proceedings for $780,.

| This also is a Middlesex county
| facts in this case. 1 live five miles
from Perth Amboy. in Metuchen
and have been attending to my
| duties on the bench for the past
eight years.
"Mr. Runyon, my Republican
opponent, lives a few miles up the
road from me in Plainfield and has
| been in the legislature for the past
ten years.
He has been doing a lot Of talk
ing about this matter. and what
| want to know is: When did he find
| out about it-during this campaign,
through one of his press agents, OF
as a member of the legislature,
through his own knowledge of the
state business.
If he found out just recently
through a press agent. why didn't
he find out sooner by closer atten-
ton to his duties as a legislator,
instead of running around the state
doing a lot of talking and mighty
little acting.
Governor Edwards, speaking at
tho same meeting again gave his
platform as follows:
my platform is very simple.
Every man, woman and child can
under stand it. No chicanery, no
deceit, no hypocrisy.
II am against the Republican dis
honest tariff bill.
81 am opposed to Newberryism.
Truman H. Newberry OF Michigan
should be unseated. 1 dencrnce the
and the affirmative vote of my OPP
ponent which seated M Newberry
thus coadcning the corruption and
debauchery of high public office.
II am opposed to the saloon.
II am against prohibition.
II am in favor of manufacture
and sale OF light wines and beer
under government control and SUI
pervision.
This will necessitate a modin-
cation of that MISUNDERSTANDING
Volstead statute which was foisted
on an unsuspecting public by a
group of fanatical reformers and
their Republican hirelinss in con-
gress.
