POLITICAL SITUATION IN
acknowledgements

SPOTSWOOD, Oct. 29.-No mark
ed activities in connection with the
forthcoming election are seen in the
borough, because no important issues
are being waged this year. In the
opinion of one of the leading citi-
zen-politicians of the borough the
the campaign this year is the dullest
of any. A little interest was seen at
the primaries on the Gowen-Geb-
hardt s~hrivalty contest.
John Taylor and Isaac Rosenfeld
are running for councilmen on the
Republican ticket for a three year
term. John It. Applegate, Republi-
can, is seeking the sane office for a
n year term. The Democrats have
placed Nelson Jolly and John Beebe
as their choice for the three year
term councilmanic post and Robert
Clark is in the race for the n year
councilman office. No opposition is
being given to Harry Fredericks,
democrat, as assessor. The major
lty or minority of both political
parties has apparently little weight
in the borough in the opinion of
Mayor A. A. DeVoe, who recently
declared that there is usually no on
position fro neither side as far as
n administration of the borough
goes.

Helmetta Situation

HELMETTA, Oct. 29:-The Re-
publican forces in the borough are
gaining considerable strength If the
recent showing made at the prima-
r1es is an indication. While the cleo
tlon does not hold much interest
locally, considerable surprise was
seen when the Republicans turned
out an exceedingly heavy vote.
therefore the election of Donald c..
Mccain as mayor on the Republican
ticket is little doubted. He has no
opposition from the Democratic side.
making it very easy for Mr.. Mccain
to pull through without a campaign.

the only minister seeking office in

ROB WOMAN
IN MAPLEWOOD OFFICE

MAPLEWOOD, Oct. 29:-Two
armed bandits early today held up
Miss Augusta Schluter. cashier at
the Hilton carbarn here of the Pub
lie Service Railway Company, and
got away in an automobile with $3,-
345.
The bandits forced Miss Schluter
to lay her head on her desk while
they took 5000 in cash from the cash
drawer and the remainder of their
loot, which vas in leather boxes pill
ed beside the company safe.
Maplewood is a suburb of Newark.
The cash was receipts of Saturday
night and Sunday. Police said that
the hold-up men apparently were ia
miliar with the company's forced
procedure of holding these receipts
at the carbarn until banks open
on Monday. They pointed out that
this amount of cash is on hand at
the carbarns only on Monday morn
ings.
Miss Schluter was counting the
cash when she heard an automobile
stop at the barn. Not s~uspecting any
thing she continued counting until
she suddenly was confronted by the
bandits and two guns thrust
through the bars of her cage into
her face.
Three employees were working in
the rear of the barn several hun

CONTROVERSY ARISES
OVER PRISON CHAPLAIN

TRENTON, Oct. 29:-An order of
Bishop Joseph f. Berry, of Philadel-
phia, barring the Rev. Charles p.
Elder, of Trenton, a chaplain at the
New Jersey State Prison, from offic-
iating at weddings and funerals. has
raised a controversy that alleges to
split the congregation of Trinity M.
T.. church here and to be one of the
big issues at the annual session of
the New Jersey Methodist Confer
ence in March.
Mr.. Elder for 10 years was pastor
of Trinity church. a term of service
unique in conference history. After
his appointment to the prison posi-
ton, many members of the Trinity
congregation continued to enlis' his
services, either in performing mar
riages or officiating at funerals.
Calls upon him have been city-wide
and it is said that other conference
preachers protested because of the
fees they lost through his acceptance.
The present pastor of Trinity churcn
will not discuss the case, but lines
are being sharply drawn in the con-
troversy and it is understood that a
demand will be made at the con-
ference session for revocation of the
injunction.

EDUCATIONAL SUNDAY
PROCLAIMED BY CHASE
SOUTH ANNOY, oct. 29-Educa-

SOUTH AMBOY, Oct. 29-Educa-
t1onal Week will Re observed in his
city beginning November Is. Mayor
Chase in a proclamation urges all
the citizens to get behind the move
ment, and to cooperate in every
way with the city heads in the drive
to be conducted. The proclamation
by the mayor is as follows:
I'm order that the people of our
nation may think on the purp Uses
the advantages, and the necessity of
a liberal education, Calvin Coolidge,
President of the United States, has
by proclamation laid aside the week
beginning November eighteenth as
National Education week.
"Our schools and the millions of
boys and girls attending them are
our nations greatest asset. The peo-
pie have shown a spirit of willing
ness and the teachers in many cases
have sacrificed larger incomes and
pleasanter pursuits to maintain
these institutions. The extension
and growth of our educational sys-
tenn has been nothing less than mar
~velous, but Improvement and per-
manence must be insured in order to
give every American citizen a liberal
education. Despotism finds its chief
support in ignorance.
'"The week so set aside offers an
excellent opportunity to quicken,
in this and other communities a. new
interest in u schools and their
function.
Therefore in response to the re-
quest of the President of the United
States, | urge that the citizens of
South Amboy in every possible way
cooperate with the local authorities
the civic, the religious and educa-
tional bodies to secure a general OBJ
of the week. I also urge
that every school day during the
week be designated as visit the
School Day" and that each and ev-
cry citizen set aside a portion of one
day for that purpose.
"Given under my hand and the
seal of South Amboy this Goth day
of October in the year of Our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and
twenty-three.

BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get
at the Cause and Remove It

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets. the sub.
stitute for calomel, act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR. Edwards'O Olive
Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coated
tablets are taken for bad breath by all
who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen.
tly but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any of
the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets without
gripping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with bowel
and liver complaint, with the attendant
bad breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil; you
will know them by their olive color.
Take one or two every night for a week
and note the effect. 15c and SOC.
