RUNY0N NAILS
NEW ATTACK
HeckIer Tries to Show That
Senator Had Been Drink
ing Before Address

NEWTON, Oct. 17.-Senator Will
lam N. Runyon, Republican norn1-
mes for governor, has nailed an
other story insinuating that he
made a public address while under
the influence of liquor.
h question of a heckler in the
senator's audience at Andover, one
OF the Sussex communities which
the Republican nominee visited Sat
urday. gave Mr.. Runyon an oppor-
tpnity to refute the story right in
the town of its origin.
Senator Runyon was speaking in
the Andover municipal square whom
the heckler began his attack. The
questions and answers flew fast and
thick. Here is the colloquy just as
it occurred:
Heckler-"Were You ever in An
dover?"
Senator Runyon-"Yes."
Heckler-"Was it at a dinner?"
Senator Runyon-"Yes."
Heckler-"Did You drink"
Senator Runyon-'No."
Tieck1er-"Did you speak?"
Senator Runyon-tYes."
Heckler-"Sitting down or stand
ing np?"
Senator MISUNDERSTANDING up"
Mumbling incoherently, the heck
Ter moved away while the crowd
cheered Senator Runyon.
Denouncing Hagueism's domina-
ton of the Democratic party, Sem
ator Runyon, addressing a large au-
dience of mine workers at Franklin,
declared it was high time for a.
housekeeping in the executive de-
partment of the state.
mo n outside of Hague has
anything to say in the Democratic
party" the speaker asserted.
Hague selects your candidates
and all You can do is vote your ap-
prevail of his selection" Mr.. Run
yon said.
Declaring for the need of two
political parties, the Republican
nominee for governor asserted:
1--WE need two parties, but the af-
fairs of the Democratic party are
not now in a healthy condition. We
Republicans stand for knocking out,
yes. down and out. the present sy s.
tenn of highway contracts in New
Jersey. The Republican party
stands for open specifications and
honest competition in road build
ing"

LIQUOR ISSUE
At THE POLLS
In Many States the Prohibi-
ton Amendment is All
Important
BY GEORGE III. MANNING
{ Washington Correspondent of tn,
Perth Amboy Evening News)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-That
the liquor question did not die with
the birth of the Eighteenth Amend
ment and the Volstead law but is
today more acute than aver is at
tested by the Tact that in twelve of
the states clear-cut contests are now
being waged between the vets and
drys to elect senators and represen-
tatives this November.
The wet and dry question is the
principal issue in three contests for
U. S. senator and and thirty-one for
representatives up to this time, it
was asserted at the national head
quarters of the Anti-Saloon League,
which is doing it's utmost for the
dry" candidates.
To be or not to be dry" is the
prevailing issue in the contests for
the senate in New Jersey, Missouri
and Ohio, and in contests for repre-
sentatives in nine districts, in Penn
sylvania, 6 in Ohio, 2 in Illinois, 2 in
Maryland, three in Indiana, two in
Nebraska, one in Iowa and one in
Minnesota, it was declared. The
liquor issue is expected to be sharp

as the League sizes up the positions
of the candidates IN the liquor ques-

In New Jersey, Governor Edwards,
Democrat, described by the Anti Sa-
loon League as the idol Of the lib
eral forces is fighting it out with
Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, Re-
publican, who boasts of his advocacy
of the Volstead law.
Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio,
Democrat, described as go per cent.

opposed for reelection by Repre-

publican.
In Missouri, Senator James Reed,
democrat, has the backing of the
vets, while the Anti Saloon League
is working for r. R. Brewster, Re-

GRADING WORK
CAUsESF|GHT
Court Actions Threatened at
South Amboy, But Work is
Now Progressing

SOUTH AMBOY, Oct. 17.-After
a week of preparation, which in
cluded the carting of stone, cement,
blue stone curbing, the real work
on h Improvements to David street
west of Stevens avenue, commenced
early yesterday morning. With it
came a severe set back.
One of the property owners
threatening to serve an injunction
on the contractor. halted the COM
mencing of the work at the corner
of Feltus and David street, after
Ayatching the men excavate for the
Ikaying of the base for the concrete
sidewalk. The property owner in
question was a woman, and gave for
her reason for impeding the progress
of the improvement. on the fact that
the curbing was being laid too far
away from her fence which just a
short time ago was placed back on
her property seven feet.
1t seems that the majority of the
property owners on that section of
David street, above Pine avenue, are
on the sidewalk line. Even some of
the houses are declared to be on the
line and for this reason the COM
p~lainant began moving back on the
line several months ago. She was
the only property owner that did,
and for this reason she is angry.
She suggested that every property
owner be made to ~relinquish that
amount offs land that should COM
prise part of the sidewalk, but to
do this would put several Of the
property owners, however, to a
great disadvantage, and the easiest
way out of it was to leave the prop
erty where they are for the
present and proceed with the side
walk, as per specifications.
The city engineer was called and
between the complainant and the
contractor, showed what a disad-
vantage it would be to start court
proceeding against the property
owners. After three or four
hours debate the work was resumed
and the contractor is preparing to
rush the work to completion.
But that is not all the contractor
is up against. Other property own
ers have interested themselves in the
blue stone curbing that has been
dropped near their residences which
will be placed into position and COM
lbrise the curbing Of that street
Some of the blue stone curb does
not meet with the approval of the
property owners, and it is under
stood that they will object to any
not perfect being used.
Mayor Stanton will be called upon
together with the city engineer. to
inspect the stone and to order per-
feet pieces placed instead of what
is considered imperfect.
