ager of the New Jersey Wood Fin
ishing Company.
Mr.. Rue offers his record to the
public for its approval both as d
member of the council and as .
member of the present Board OF
Education. Mr.. lice seems to think
that the playing of petty politics IN
the city's government has placed il
in the financial condition it now i:
in. He says the Republicans have
placed themselves above that petty
way of doing business by supporting
the independent candidate.
The election of either man de-
ponds on the electorate of the en-
tire city, while Frank Kabosky, Re-
publican, and John j. Connors, DEM
ocrat, seek election in only one ward
the third.
kabosky is an accountant and
to have the financial situation
in figures down to a science. His
opponent has for many years been
connected with the Pennsylvania
railroad in their local offices.
The third ward has for the past
fourteen years been Instrumental IN
placing to office Michael j. Stanton.
1t is Democratic by a close margin
and the fight is being watched with
interest. Both men are actively in
terested in a campaign all by them
selves.
In the second ward Thomas j.
Lovely, Democrat, who just emerged
from a primary fight, opposes Fer
dinand Tedesco, for the Office of

Mr.. Loyely's election is looked for.
On the other hand Mr.. Tedesco, who

in his district. The measure he sup
ports is a vital one, and no DOUBT
will influence many votes.
To the victors of this election go
the spoils. Whatever party gains con-
troll of the council this year, will
the disposition of some of the
most important Offices Of the city
government. City solicitor, city
superintendent of water, and
street commissioner offices will be
given out. The Democrats 10Y in
very instance hold down these jobs
and if they again gain control of the
council there is no doubt but that
he present incumbents will remain.
To add strength to the belief that
the election will be won only py
majorities. is the fact that
both Democratic and Republican
organizations are massed as
units. Their effect in the coming
will be felt to no little ex-

Proposed Ferry
At the last moment it seems very
that the proposed ferry is to
,lay an important part in the poll
ical situation. Many feel the pres
mt council is a little harsh and X
citing in their demands to the Jer-
Coast Ferry Company. These
seem to feel that the ferry Is
more or less a local proposition, and
hould be encouraged. while others
axe an entirely different viewpoint
n the matter.
The present council is condemned

hey stand firm on what they have
lone. claiming that now is the time
o get whatever is coming to the
,ity. They have stated in nearly
instance, that cars carried by
he ferry will use the streets of the

to pave and take care Of the
streets they use to their own advan-
age.
Those hard-hearted politicians
Who for years have been content to
ct back and watch with interest the
management of the city's affairs,
andidlv state that the woman vote,
oupled with the great Independent
nd silent vote. will have the telling !
n the present election.
Probably never in the history of
south Amboy have both political

n both sides are dabbling into the
.nermost secrets of the organiza-

Manifested by their activities about

That the women in no few cases
axe different sides from their hus-
ands in the various questions has
cen seen by the primary vote. Their
interest in the work of the United
states senate, has caused a little
,orry in the organization ranks of
9th parties.
South Amboy besides being over
yrought with anxiety over the local
ituation seem to find time to dis
