Commission
MOVE STARTED?
Commission Government Pc
titions Reported in Circu-
Iation Here

Although Senator Morgan f..
Larson, leader of the Republicans
in this city, this morning denied
that the organization is planning to
launch commission government
campaign at once, it has been learn
ed that certain Republicans are con-
templating the circulation of petit
tions asking for an election on the
subject. Senator Larson when queS-
toned as to what he knew about
the move said he knew absolutely
nothing of any such action and was
certain that the city organization IS
not behind the move. 1T is possi-
ble," he said, that some disappoint-
ed office seekers and office holders
are starting such a move but the
organization is not taking a hand in
it."
Reports were prevalent about the
city this week that at least one petit
ton, favoring a commission govern
ment election, was in circulation and
that 200 names had been placed up
on it. No one could be found, how
ever, who had actually seen the
petition. One of the men, Repub-
lican, whose name has been con-
nected with the new move, when
questioned this morning said that
no petition had been circulated as
yet but plans were being made "by
certain members of both parties" to
start agitation at once for commits
sion government.
If another attempt is made to
secure a commission form of gov
ernment in Perth Amboy it will be
the third try within five years. The
first election was held on October
16, 1917. At this time the move
was defeated by 1873 votes, 1880 op-
posing the measure while 1897 voted
in favor of it. In the early part of
1920 agitation for change in the
manner of city government was
again started and the election was
held August II, 1920. At this time
the measure was defeated even
worse than at the first election.
there being a 39S vote majority for
those opposing any change in gov
ernment. The total vote on the
question in 1920 was forty-one less
than " 1917 which showed that less
interest was taken then than at the
first election. The vote was 1867
against the commission form of gov
ernment and 1869 in favor of it.
The law does not permit of the
holding of a commission government
election during the first term of
mayors term. If the election is not
held this year, the second of Mayor
Wilson's term, it will be impossible
to again hold an election until 1924.

DUBLIN, Jan. 7.--(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-With vote on the
Irish treaty promised for today, the
Dali Eireann reassembled today In
an atr losrhere Of high tension.
Speaker MacNeilPs ruling yesterday.
refusing to let the House be diverted
from the urgent business in hand,
assured. it was believed, a clear cut
vote on the peace pact.
Eamon &c Valera's resignation as
chief executive stood postponed un-
til the division was taken, which was
expected to be some time in the aft
ernoon. 1t is the concensus of opin-
ion here that Mr.. de Valera's drama
tic speech rendering his resignation
has left the situation regarding the
vote en- the treaty. unchanged, but
it undoubtedly has widened the
cleavage between the opposing fac
tions.
When the Dali resumed its ses-
sion at 1880 o'clock Speaker Mac
Neill, who has strongly supported
the treaty, gave notice of motion
in his own name, reading as fol-
lows:
THAT the Dali Eireann affirms
that Ireland is sovereign natiQl
deriving its sovereignty from all re-
spects from the will of the people
in Ireland; that all the international
relations of Ireland are governed on
the part of Ireland by that sovereign
status and all facilities and accom-
modations afforded by Ireland to an
other state or country, are subject
to the right of the Irish government
to take care that the liberty and
we'll being of the people of ireland
are not endangered"
The object of this motion was to
assert the principle that ratification
of the treaty was in accordance
with independence. Harry Boland,
Just back from the United States.
asked for a vote of thanks for the
magnificent support America has
given u.s."
