ANSWERMADE
BYJ.P.MG CURE
To Ship Canal Issue Raised at
South River Non-PartiSan
Meeting

John P. Mcclure, candidate for
the assembly on the Democratic
ticket, in a statement today declar-
ed that he did not attack the bridge
or canal bills at the meeting held in
Sosth River last Friday night, at
whic hall candidates appeared and
further points out that he did main
tain that whatever credit the Re-
publican candidates deserve should
be given them. The statement fol-
lows:
"The statement that I attacked
the ship canal measure of Mr.. Hoff-
man is ridiculous and equally ridicu-
lous the statement that I attacked
the bridge hill providing for a bridge
from Perth Amboy to Tottenville.
To attack the bridge bill is hardly
consistent with the support the
Democratic candidates have given
this bill and project since the cam
paign and the support the Demo-
Gratis in the legislature gave 1t when
it came up for consideration; to at
tack the ship canal measure would
be to attack a which ! IA
vored publicly two years before Mr..
Hoffman ever ran for the assembly.
Such a malicious distortion of what
/ actually did say is hardly c%onciev-
able.
"The meeting at South River
where this attack Is alleged to have
been made was a non-part'san meet
ing, candidates of both parties hav-
ing been present. In opening my re-
marks : said to the men and women
there, that regardless of what polit
ical effect it might have. IL the Re-
publicans of the last legislature had
done anything which deserved credit
the Democratic party should be
predetermined and intelligent enough
to afford them that credit, and on
the other hand IL the Democratic
party had done or favored anything
of like public benefit the Republican
party should afford them a like CO.
%creration and credit. In this '.ght
I said emphatically that the bridge
bill of Mr.. Hanson's was a laudable
hill, and that he deserved credit for
having intIoduced 1t. and that Mr..
Hoffman's bin for the purchase of
the right of way for the canal de-
serves a like credit.
MY point was, however. that
while these things were laudable
they were at the anne time pro-
jected so far into the future that we
should not place our entire attention
on them at the expense of our pres
emit interests. When I said that the
people of the county and state were
disguised with the last legislature
I meant it. l believe they are. I
said this at the meeting, and there
in the face of the Republican cam
didates I defied anyone to follow
me and point out n single thing
the last legislature had done for the
improvement of the present condi-
tions. While they were talking about
a canal that might take twenty-five
years to construct. and which, the
Republican candidates were taking
a lot of credit for. both of those can
didates had been at Trenton and
favored putting a man in jail for
drinking a glass of beer. Looking
so far into the future. they could
not see that the majority OF the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-10-29

people of this county and state had
shown by their ballots that they felt
they had a perfect right to drink a
glass of beer If they wanted it to-
day. While they were talking about
a bridge that will probably be built
in the next generation, they had
done nothing to fill our cellars with
a at a reasonable price last win
ter when the entire state nearly
froze to death. 1 did not attack the
measures in question. I favor them.
But l do condemn the last legisla-
ture for its consistent endeavor to
tie the hands of a Democratic gov
ernor in his plans to help the peo-
pie today and tomorrow.
ut was further stated that both
Hanson and Hoffman deplored maxi
ing the canal and bridge measures
campaign topics. That is a deliber-
ate lie. Mr.. Hanson preceded me
on the floor. and in fact, / never
thought about the thing until I heard
him talk about it. In these days
of muck raking politics, neither Mr..
Hanson nor Mr.. Hoffman measure

not confirm me in saying that at
