State Assembly Race
Is OF Great Interest
Possibility of Democratic
Legislature in New Jersey
Causes Much Interest

NEWARK, Nov. 3.-The possibil-
ity that the Democratic party may
wipe out the Republican majority
in the New Jersey assembly at the
statewide elections on next Tuesday
lends more interest to the election
than does any other issue of the
campaign. The state assembly now
has a Republicans and 16 Demo-
Gratis. If the Dem ocrats double the
number of their assemblymen in
Tuesdays voting they will have four
more members than will the Re-
publicans.
Eight new state senators will be
elected to senate that now stands
II Republicans to 4 Democrats,
while full new house of 81 assem-
blymen are to be elected.
Lack of statewide issues of great
importance is accountable for a lack
of election enthusiasm on the part of
the voters.
Organized busmen have attempt
ed to make a political issue of the
trolley-bus competition as an out
growth of the Public Service Rail-
way trolleymen's strike during Au-
gust and September. In September
the busmen announced their inten-
tion of canvassing all legislative
candidates as to their attitude on
the question land signified that they
would work towards defeat of candi-
dates favoring bus elimination.
The trolley-bus question has not
been pushed to an active or state
wide issue.
Allegations, due to be considered
by the circuit court on Nov. 13 in
the form of a petition for voiding
nominations, that Republicans in
Essex county were guilty of false
statements in the filing of primary
campaign contribution reports, are
seen by some politicians as lessen
ing the chances of Republican can
didates in the county. Giving this
alleged political scandal as one of
his reasons for entering the race.
Evans d. Edwards of Newark last
announced his candidacy

TWO men IN HOSPITAL
FOLLOWING ACCIDENT
ON 50. AMB0Y BRIDGE
Traffic Tied Up Following
Skidding of One Car and Col
liSions Between Others
FOG Disturbing FACTOR
Report Several Others Hurt
Besides Those Taken to the
Hospital Here

Two men are in the Perth Amboy
City hospital suffering from injuries
as a result of an automobile accident
caused by the sl1idding of car near
the South Amboy side of the draw
of the state bridge shortly before
O'Clock this morning. TraHlc was
tied up for some time when one OF
the cars skidded crashing into
standing truck and ramming into
two other machines, followed by n
commotion among the drivers who
sought to clear the route for pas
sage.
The injured are: John Wright,
thirty-nine, of 16 High street, Soulh
River. cuts on right knee and SIDE;
Sanford Rusher thirty-tve years ola
of 573 North Main street, ilgnts-
town, probable fracture to ms rlgnt
knee. Rusher was fixing tire on
Mis- machine when the crash came
yand thus became one of the victims
Little information was available
as to the accident. Charles Free
han of South River, working as one
Of the tenders of the bridge MADE
an attempt to collect the data OF
the accident, but was unable to do
IL because of the general miXup
which followed.
Freehan ordered passing motorists
to take wright ana lNuSleE " 'h"
hospital. lie believed that one OF
two others were also slightly lh1ur-
ed. but went to their homes. The
truck was not disabled and pro-
ceeded on it's way. Its ownership
could not be learned. Wright is be-
lieved to have been the driver of one
of the cars which was towed away.
One machine with a broken left fen
der is still on the bridge. disabled.
Reports have it that automobilists
passing along the bridge at the time
of the accident could see little ahead
of them because of the fog and con-
sequently rammed into standing
cars. This was repeated by every
car that neared the scene. One of
the drivers went some fifty feet and
warn oncoming cars. Rumors that
one man was killed in the accident
is discredited as false.
