Mr.. Reed, as a member OF the Bank.
ing and Currency Committee, inter.
posed every possible objection to the
completion and adoption Of the bill
ct cetera.'
Former President Wilson's recol.
lection is sadly deficient. In the cam.
Islign of 1916, permission was asked
and granted for the use Of the letter
in my campaign when was running
on the same ticket with President
Wilson and ardently supporting him.
Tens of thousands of copies OF the
letter were circulated at that time.
II was, in fact, scattered broadcast.
'Mr. Wilson states that I opposed
every possible objection to the com.
pletion and adoption OF the banking
and currency bill. The fact is the
principal dispute between the Presi.
dent and myself regarding that bill
arose over the question whether !
helped to make these changes. And
when the bin came before the Sen.
ate defended It upon the floor on
December 4, making a speech thor.
oughly analyzing the bill and ex-
planning its benefits.
After the bill had been thus
amended, President Wilson pro-
nounced 1t the best piece OF legisla.
ton adopted in fifty years. The
Democrat campaign book Of 1920 de-
clares that the bill was opposed by
the Republicans, and refers to 1t as
being revised and strengthened in
the Senate Committee on Banking
and Currency
"Mr. Wilson declares that he told
me that I reminded him Of an indi-
vidual who mounted several horses
and rode off in every direction.
Again the ex-President's recollection
is in error. Just as he has complete
ly forgotten a letter which he did
write, he remembers a conversation
which never took place.
Those who knew the amiable and
police Wilson of 1918 will hardly
credit him with having personally
insulted a Senator representing a
great State however humble that
Senator might be. Those who know
me well, will scarcely believe that I
would tamely submit to a gross in
suit even from so great a man as
Mr.. Wilson was at that time"

For Second Game Of County
Series in New Brunswick
Sunday

The Perth Amboy Athletic Asso-
citation nine will travel to New
Brunswick on Sunday afternoon to
cross bats with the Landing COM
bination of New Brunswick in the
second game of the little worlds
series'' which will decide the dia-
mond. championship of Middlesex
county.
The Landings. defeated here last
Sunday in a somewhat one-sided
fashion, will be strengthened con-
siderably this weekend in an effort
to even the series. 1t Is rumored
that Reggie, of South Amboy, who
starred in the South during the past
summer, will do the pitching for
Manager Hefferman's team.
1t is possible that "Pud" Stinson
and "Blackie" Regain may also play
with the New Brunswick team in
Sundays contest. If the Landings
win this Sunday, a coin will be toss
ed to decide the field on which the
deciding game of the county series
will be played.
Amboy will line up in regular
fashion with 500 and Lorenzo in the
points The local magnates are ar
ranging to take several bus loads of
fans to the county seat and are con-
fident that they a again beat the
Landings and end the series.
