r AMROY,s BIG DAY

Perth Amboy had a big day yesterday. The cordial in
vitation extended TO The people of surrounding towns to visit
Perth Amboy and hear The United States Marine Band and.
incidentally, get acquainted with The city, especially the high
class stores to be found here, was very generally accepted.
Thousands came from all directions. Automobile parking
space was at a premium. 1t is doubtful is there ever has
been an occasion when there were so many automobiles
parked in Perth Amboy. For blocks all about City Hall Park
the machines were packed in diagonally against the curb as
close a. they could be placed.
The business section of the city resembled a Saturday
afternoon and evening with throngs of people on the streets.
The merchants had decorated their stores in honor of the
occasion and, on the whole, the city took on a gala appear
ance. II It's to be hoped that those who visited the city for the
first time, or who are not in the habit of coming here often,
were favorably impressed and that they will come again.
The same cordial welcome always awaits them.
The Marine band fully measured up to expectations.
1t was a real treat to hear This White House organization
and the fact that it was free to all made it an unusual event.
The band was well worth coming to hear. The police ar
rangement was complete and the vast crowd was handled
most satisfactorily. The lighting of the park was all that
could be desired and every detail was carried out in a way
to do credit to the entire city.
The praise is due the Rotary and Lions clubs for back
ing the event and making it possible. These organizations
are showing the true Perth Amboy spirit and are really do
ing something worth while for the community.

SENATOR FRELINGHUYSEN'S VICTORY

The outstanding feature of the primary election on
Tuesday was the fine run made by Senator Joseph S. FIRE.
linghuysen. The senator was greatly handicapped IN MS
campaign, congress being in session right up to the last
minute holding the members at Washington. There was
little opportunity to appear before the people to discuss the
issues or explain the position taken by the senator on IN
portant questions.
On The other hand, Senator Frelinghuysen's opponent
was going I'D and down the state in the most spectacular
manner criticizing and condemning, appealing to class pre-
ildice and holding out hopes that he well knew could not be
realized. At the same time, there was a certain lukewarm-
ness on the part of Republican organization leaders toward
Senator Frelinghuysen that did not add encouragement TO
his candidacy. In fact, in some sectlons the organization
was almost in open opposition.
The senator, however, won through his clean-cut' open
and fearless stand. He proved himself to be a man in every
sense of the word. There was no quibbEng, no hedging.
He did not trim his sail to win votes. Whether one agreed
with him or not, one had to admire his courage and straight
forwardness. He stood square on his record and adopted
the slogan, 'Let the people decide"
This attitude won the senator more votes than any cam
naianing that he might have done. The people, at least
those who class themselves as Republicans, decided, more
than two to one, that they wanted more OF just the KIND OF
representation that Senator Frelinghuysen has been giving
them in the senate.
The senator had the hardest fight of any candidate in
tbe urinary and he won out handsomely. 1t now remains to
elect him in November. The same policy that won Tor nm
sucb support on Tuesday will carry the day in November
esneciaUv if Governor Edwards, the senator's opponent, con-
tinues to confne his agitation to making the state as wet as
the Atlantic ocean, which he knows Is lmposslDle' ana
hedging and lodging every other issue.
The vote that Senator Frelinghuysen received Tues
dav shows the confidence the people have III him. HIS record
has been approved as far as the rank ana he oil 'ne hepup-
licans are concerned, and there is good reason TO Deheve
that when it comes to a choice between senator rerihShuy
sem and the record he has made, and Governor Edwards and
tho record he has made, the rank and file of the voters, re-
aardless Of party, will be overwhelmingly with Freling-
huysen.
