Metuchen Chamber of Com
merce Denies Playing
Partisan Politics

METUCHEN, Sept. 21--In an
open letter to the residents of the
borough, William e. Scultz, pres
ident of the Chamber of Commerce,
refutes the rumors of the last few
days that the civic body had sud
denly taken an active interest in
partisan politics, and is actively en-
gagged in furthering the campaign of
one of the local candidates for
mayor
During the existence of this or
ganization partisan politics in the
body have been frowned on by the
entire membership, and every effort
has been made to conduct the cham
Der as a non-partisan and nom
s~ectarian body. That the policy
adopted several years ago is still in
force is indicated by the following:
ITO the citizens of the borough of
M~etuchen:
ut has been rumored that the
Chamber Is actively interested and
working to obtain the nomination of
Mr.. Aylin Pierson for mayor, and in
order to correct that statement I
wish to say that the Chamber is a
nonpartisan body and has absolutely
nothing to do with the candidacy of
Mr.. Pierson or any of the candidates
to be elected at the coming election.
THE committee appointed by the
president of the Republican Club to
select candidates for the different
Offices was composed of five MEM
bers and of these only one was q
member OF the Chamber of Com
merce.
THE Metuchen Chamber of Com
merce is a civic body and is inter-
ested in the development of the
town, but at no time has 1t tried to
dictate to the borough officials. and
positively has no hand in the polit-
ical activities of the borough in the
present campaign.
