clio SOUTH AMBoY. Aug. S:-The
ceiheels of politics In this city are at
past in motion. Everywhere men of
suloth political faiths are discussing
waie situation locally and judging
OF ON the names mentioned in CON
Objection with the offices to be filled
ais year, there is indication that
bo1e fai will bring some hot times
eigr South Anlboy. For the past sew
edsal years p iiitics in this city nave
conceived a rude awakening. The
wand h a guides the political des-
bunny of this city is a very uncertain
time. The truth of this assertion was
ceiearly manifested last year when
lanieI C. Chase. the present mayor,
wsot in the race as an independent.
wHe was later elected by the Repub-
JqcanS who placed him on their
pAalIot.
&c The most startling news current at
glhis time is to the effect that Coun- |
dlman G.. Frank Disbrow, Repub- |
lean member of that body, from the
fourth ward. whose term expires
his year will seek the Office of city |
clerk. This news m from a re-
liable source and no attempt to. deny
the rumor has been made. Disbrow
Is looked upon as an able manager
with business training to a very
high degree. During his term as
councilman he has made quite an i'm
preston and was considered by many
on both sides, as the likely candi- |
date for reelection in the fourth
ward. Disbrow, 1t will be remember
ed was prominently mentioned in
the mayoralty contest last fall and |
but for the fact hat his party could
not wholly agree on him, he gave up
the idea. The many staunch sup
porters Disbrow has made since his
avent into politics, makes his fol-
lowers confident that he can win.
With the news that Disbrow will
seek the office of city clerk, the
name of Andrew Kvist, who has
already established a record as coun-
Gilman, but who resigned to under
go a serious operation on his foot, is
being broadcasted about the city.
Those that know Mr.. Kvist, believe
he has only to point to his record
OF w terms, to insure his election.
Councilman George r. Delaney, |
Democrat, finishes his first term this
fall. He will in all probability seek
election, perhaps mostly at the re-
qV of his friends, who look upon
" as the strongest asset to the
4ocratic party in this ward. 1t
expected that the Democrats will
gree without a hitch on Delaney.
whose work during his term seemed
to have met with approval. Mr..
Delaney has spent many hours study
g the wafer situation of the city
and has given much of his time at
the plant itself in an effort to make
fh o > MA NJ a ~ vino nrAnaCifiD, lite |
friends point to this record as a
wholehearted expression of his ap-
probation for the confidence en-
trusted in him by the people who
elected him.
In studying the Republican situa-
ton in this ward, one finds a di-
versity of opinion when it comes to
selecting a strong candidate for cleo
ton. Three names have been men
toned thus far. Frederick Kurow-
sky. Raymond Malloy and Richard
Neiltopp, Jr. Mr.. Malloy comes from
the Bergen Hill section of the city,
while the other men mentioned are
from Mechanicsyille. Those who
have mentioned the Mechanicsville
men give as their reason for doing
so that the men in both instances
know the needs of this section and

milton to that section.
Peter Coakley, the present city
clerk, whose term expires this year,
will not be a candidate for Nre-elec-
ton. Intimate friends of Mr.. Coax
ley nave said so. An effort it was
learned last night, is being made to
Iinduce Phillip Downs to run for
this office. Downs is an accountant
by profession and would undoubted-
ly make a strong run. While a num-
ber of his friends are anxious to
have him enter the race, they feel
that he will not seek the office.
AS far as the county is concerned
South Amboy is to be represented.
William S. Dey, present member of
the Board Of Chosen F~reeholders,
has been urged to run for the Office
again. His friends have already cir
culated a petition throughout the
city with quick results. So strong
is Bill" Dey, as he is more affec-
tionately known, in this city, that
men from both parties believe he
will have no opposition at home.
In~the Assembly race, Harold G.
Hoffman, who has Just completed his
first term in that body. will be a can
dtdate for reelection, that is If his
intimate friends have anything to
say about 1t. From all quarters, II
Is understood. that Hoffman is be-
seiged with requests to get into the
race again. Hoffman's brilliant first
year term. his friends say, entitle
him to another seat at Trenton. Mr..
Hoffman as yet has not announced
his intention. but there is little
doubt that he will not IN.
1t is understood that the Demo-
Gratis are carefully looking over some
likely candidates for the Assembly
race. Besides mentioning Councillor
Francis Monaghan, the name Of At
torney John Phillip MCGUIRE is also
being advanced. Mr.. Mcclure re-
Gently passed the bar examinations
and has opened law Offices in Perth
Amboy. He is we'll known in this
city, as a fearless, and staunch sup
porter of the Democratic principles.
Neither of these men have express
sed their intention of entering the
race, although both have been APP
preached on the matter by their
friends.
