A. F. MUN0z REPLIES To
CHARGES OF DEMOCRATS

1T seems peculiar that Mr.. Gal
vim required all of the time from
March to October to fl IL U that
the horses had not been properly
cared for" Mr.. Munoz continued.
and. what is still more strange. he
entrusted TO the inexperienced SUI
pervision and inefficient manage
ment a horse of his own.
There Is now on the street de-
partment d horse belonging to Mr..
Calvin. In 1920 before he was
elected alderman-at-large. Mr.. Gal
win came to me and told me he had
a young horse which neither he nor
his men were able to manage. He
asked me to take it and put t in the
street department, with the under
standing that he would be satisfied
to give the services for the horse in
exchange for his keep. l agreed
and Mr.. Calvin apparently was sat
isfied with my treatment of the
horse as he left it under my care
and it is still in the department at
the time of my resignation"
Candidate Munoz then referred 20
the assertion made by former mayor
Dorsey that Munoz had been a fail
ure in his own business and conse-
quently could not care for the city's
business. The former Democratic
mayor asserted Wednesday night
that Munoz would never have ac-
cepted the street commissioners job,
paying $500 a year, if he had been
successful in his own business.
The Republican aldermanic can
didate in reply to this assertion said:
"Ex-mayor Dorsey appears to be
the second big gun the Democrats
AaaAr IN tha 1fnA af 1fdbN nrtTI1nnN
He seems intensely interested in my
personal business. So much so, IL
fact, that he has discovered hat l
am an absolute business failure. I
accepted the position of street COM
missioner at $500 a year and for
hal reason alone, Mr.. Dorsey would
lead n to believe, l am a failure.
isn't it a fact that in 1918, Mr..
Dorsey accepted the nomination for
mayor, conducted a strenuous cam
paign and helped to finance the city
campaign? He was elected and went
into the Office of mayor at a salary
of $500 a year. the same amount I
received. He said I was a business
failure because 1 accepted it. Does
any one in Perth Amboy consider
Dorsey a business failure because
he accepted this position paying ST.
500 a year. 1 would be the last man
to consider him a failure"
The meeting which was not
largely attended owing to numer-
Gus other Republican gatherings Of
workers about the city, was pre-
sided over by State Senator Morgan
F. Larson, the president. During
the course of the night Senator Lar
son made a speech which every one
present agreed was the strongest
plea for support and hardest attack
at the Democratic Candidates he
has sv+r made.
Mayor Wilson said he was work
ing hard to be elected, reiterating
his determination to conduct a
clean campaign leaving out person.
and urged the support of
friends in the CITY not only for
himself but for the whole Repub-
lican ticket.
Alderman Benjamin A. Riedy
speaking of the municipal system of
collecting garbage, said it was his
opinion that the aldermen would 500
back to the contract system of hav-
ing garbage collected when the in
creased cost of winter collection is
made known.
Other speakers at the meeting
were County Committee Chairman
John Pfeiffer, John Poulson, Coun-
ty Treasurer F. William Hilker and
School Commissioner Chris Ander-
