President While Nation
Is So Prosperous
SCORES BRYAN BROTHERS
Speaks at Rousing Meetings
Here, in Carteret, South
Amboy, New Brunswick

United States Senator Walter e.
Edge yesterday invaded Middlesex
county and carried on an intensive
speaking campaign. appearing at
South Amboy. Sayreville. Carteret,
Perth Amboy and New Brunswick
to address meetings. In each place
that he spoke. the senior senator
was given an enthusiastic demon
stration by those who gathered to
hear him.
The meeting in the high school
here last night was the first big pol
itical mass meeting of the season
and perhaps the last big Republican
affair. although numerous city and
ward meetings are scheduled. Red
fire burning in front of the school
gave the meeting somewhat the ap-
pearance of an old time political
meeting as did the presence of the
band, the Goodwill Band having
been engaged to furnish the music
for the evening. But the appearance
of the interior of the large audito-
rum of the high school was as un-
like an old time political meeting as
day Is from night. Many women
were found in the audience and the
speakers were not handicapped by

smoke which always peryaded the
old-time political mass meeting.
Recorder Harold E. Pickersgill
presided. as chairman and. as al
ways. handled this assignment in his
own inimitable way. Local and
county candidates were given an op-
portunity 20 address the audience
during the night. but Senator Edge
was the main drawing card and MS
talk was a comprehensive explana-
tion of national affairs.
In opening his talk the senior SEN
ator thanked the voters of this CITY
for the vote of confidence given MIN
on primary day. He spoke highly
of the city and county candidates ne
has learned to know personally, Ex-
Congressman Z. Frank Appleby,
state Senator Morgan F. Larson.
County Treasurer f. William Hilker
and Mayor William c. Wilson.
Senator Edge emphasized the inn
portance of the relationship between
government and business, pointing
out that the good times incident 10
a Republican administration are
sufficient reason for most of the
thinking voters to again support that
party. When President Harding was
inaugurated the unemployed in this
country numbered 100000. This
unemployment has been absorbed
now and If one is out of job 1T is
mainly his own fault" the senator
continued as he pressed his argu--
ment that prosperity can be found
with a Republican national admins
tration.
The speaker compared the Repub-
lican national ticket of Coolidge and
Dawes with that of the Democrats,
Davis and Bryan, and the Indepen-
dent progressives. La Toilette and
Wheeler. He referred to the Cool
idge-Dawes ticket as the ideal COM
bination, dclaring that both men
have proven their ability, courage
and sound reasoning power. In the
Democratic combination Of Davis
and Bryan, Senator Edge said, there
is found an ultra conservative and a
man with a radical viewpoint as has
heen demonstrated during his term
as governor of Nebraska.
