COAKLEY WILL ,
Be CANDIDATE
For South Amboy City Clerk,
Position Which He is Now
Filling

SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. 17:-Con-
trary to rumors current for the past
several weeks, City Clerk Peter J.
Coakley will again seek the office
he has held for the past five years.
The information coming at this time
will undoubtedly be received with
a sigh of relief by those connected
with the Democratic party in this
city. In all sections of the city, the
question as to who would seek the
office of city clerk on the Democratic
side, was answered with a shrug of
the shoulders. OF course names were
mentioned, but in almost every case
those named would have nothing to
do with the position at this time.
In a telephone conversation with
a News representative yesterday, Mr..
Coakley stated he would run again
for the office of city clerk. He add
ed that he had intended to seek the
office for some time, and was waiting
for a meeting of the South Amboy
Democratic Club to his
decision. There has been no meet
ing of the Democratic Club since
last fall, although it is understood
one will be called within a short
time.
Mr.. Coakley has proved beyond a
doubt his ability as clerk of the city
of South Amboy. Those who have
occasion to transact business with
Mr.. Coakley, always find him in a
responsive mood. Always willing to
help out wherever possible. He
is well liked, both in the Republican
as well as the Democratic ranks. He
is considered by many one of the
strongest men the Democrats have
in South Amboy. 1t is not likely
that there will be a primary contest
for this office since Mr.. Coakley has
signified his intention of entering the
race.

LONDON, Aug. 16:-Shall the
sealed box containing prophecies
written more than a century ago by
Joanna Southcott, famous %seeress,
be opened?
Did this woman-said to have fore
the World War of 1914 in a
conversation with King George III
leave in the mysterious casket OF
predictions that will prove a cure
for world ills?
For 10 years the box, said to con-
tain important prophecies, has been
handed down from generation to
generation in England, waiting until
such time as the conditions set by
the writer should be met.
Today her followers, seceders from
the Church of England-30,000 in
America and 10000 here-have made
such strong demands for the fulfil
ment of the conditions, that the mat
ter has become the medium OF an
advertising campaign to compel the
officials of the Church of England TO
act. These signs appear everywhere;
London doomed unless the
bishops open Joanna S~outhcotts box
"Moscow's fate will be London's
doom unless the DlSHOpS OpSh ~
anna Southcott's box"
When Joanna sealed up and corded
the box. she gave it to the vicar of
old Swinford, Worcestershire, with
the demand that it not be opened
until such time as "a bishops and "a
believers meet with one attorney
and await a sign from the Lord"
Joanna Southcott, born in 1850,
claimed to have received the gift of
prophecy in 1892. Sc had $4,000
followers when she died in 1914.
Joanna's adherents of today, who
think the mysterious box will solve
the problem of world peace. declare
she made 200 prophecies that came

No Official Word
as to Who Will Lead
Liberal Party

London, Nov 15.-(By A. P.)-The
question whether Mr.. Asquith or Mr..
Lloyd George would assume the
leadership of the reunited Liberal
party, which has been exciting the
greatest interest in view of the deep
rooted political animosity between
these two statesmen. appears to have
been settled quietly at their peace
meeting on Tusday.
No official announcement has been
forthcoming from the Liberal head
quarters. In fact this issue has been
carefully avoided by the Liberal poll
ticians and the Liberal press, but
the facts say the situation is this:
Mr.. Lloyd George has agreed to
work with and under Mr.. Asquith in
view OF the latter's position as the
elder statesman and leader, Of the
third strongest party in the House
as that body is constituted at pres
cnt, the Labor party being the second
and the Lloyd George party ranking
fourth.
Should the Liberals be successful
in the election Mr.. Asquith will be
asked to form q cabinet in which Mr..
Lloyd George would be second in
command.
But Mr.. Asquith ii is asserted.
having thus preserved his dignity,
would quietly retire from the prem
iership at the expiration of a few
months. upon which Mr. Lloyd George
would assume the leadership of the
Liberals and fill again his old role
of primo minister.
