You Chase Me,
And ri Chase You!

The deplorable state of af-
fairs in the delays, squab-
bles,, lawsuits and attendant
result of making the taxpayers
the goat" in the Hunterdon
County Jail scandal at Flem-
ington, is not without its ludi-
crous aspects.
1t has resolved itself into
the old game of "YOU CHASE
ME-, AND I'LL CHASE Y0Gi'
Contractor Tuozzolo and Archi-
tect Schumann alternate in
chasing each other, and the
Freeholders chase them both,
and are in turn chased by
Tuozzolo and Schumann.
If it wasn't for the mount
ing cost of delays and extras"
and scandal, the voters could
we'll give them all the "HAW,
HAW, HAVE" For il certainly
is ludicrous spectaclel
The Jail was to have been
finished last April Isn't there
bond to insure the fulfillment
of the contract? And If there
is bond, isn't there penal
ty clause as all business like
bonds provide, to compensate
the County for its loss7
AND IF NOT, WHY NOT?

NASH PROVES ITS
POPULARITY
Car To BE Given Away BY This
Paper Breaks Production Rec
ords For September

September was the largest Sep
tember in the history Of The Nash
Motors Company in point of sales
and production, states E. II. Me-
Carty, Nash General Sales Mana.
ger. September also would have
won the honor of being the biggest
single month of business Nash ever
achieved had 1t been possible to
produce all the cars that were on
order.
September business brought the
total volume of Nash sales and
production for the nine months of
1929 up to 111,965 cars as contras-
ted to 75,347 cars for the same per-
iod in 1925, which was the biggest
previous Nash year. September was
also the twenty-iifth consecutive
month that Mash sales have shown
an increase over the same month
of the previous year. One of the
1927 Light Six Nash sedans is be-
ing used by this paper In a sub
seription campaign, and the wide
popularity it has gained proves its
desirability among the campaign
workers.
The urgency with which Nash
dealers all over the world are re-
questing rush shipments in order
to make immediate deliveries is in
dicative of the phenomenal success
that has greeted the new Light Six,
Special Six and Advanced Six mod
els, which were introduced In Aug
ust and September. The 7-bear'ng
crankshaft motor that now powers
all new Nash models is proving a
powerful impulse to sales, and Mash
plants are working at full speed.
The record Nash year of 1925
With sales and production volume
" 9e,121 cars was surpassed this
year by the end of August, and
with September sales added, they
are 10000 cars ahead of the entire
year of 1925.

BIG REPUBLICAN
RALLY SUCCESS

The Republican rally held in st
Andrews hall, Lambertville, last
Thursday evening, was well attend.
ed, and the several candidates re-
ceived cordial greeting.
Congressman Charles A. Eaton,
candidate for reelection, was the
first speaker, and he said, in part:
During my first term in Wash
ington, | have made practice of
serving every one who needed and
who asked my aid," declared Con-
gressman Eaton.
''No one ever needed an introduc-
tion to me or needed to carry any
Endorsement to gain my assistance
in any matter that troubled or har-
assed them," said DR.. Eaton. When
am asked to help, do not ques-
tion their party, race or statia&
That | am asked is enough. Then
| give them the best that is in me'
81 have served thousands who
have immigration, income tax. pen
sion, passport, veterans claims or
other matters troubling them. That
is what | am there for, partly, and
l find joy in helping the people
of this district in their governmental
matters"
The Congressman also stressed
the need of the Republican tariff at
this time when the foreign coun-
tries are in such distressing cir
cumstances and when foreign pro-
ducers are in position to swamp
American industry and business
with their sweat-made goods.
Assemblyman Horace G. Prall, a
candidate to succeed himself, told
of his work in the Legislature at
Trenton, and what he stood for in
that line.
w. II. Black, candidate for sher.
iff,, was handicapped by heavy
cold, but devoted most of his plea
for the other members on the tick
ct.
ittus iNi
freeholder, told of his tours through
the county, called attention to the
Jail scandal at Pennington, and ex-
pressed the intention of attending to
the county's work if elected.
Andrew Foltz acted as chairman
of T., meeting and delivered some
sound9 logic on his own account, in
introduce & the speakers.
The Lambertville Band furnished

Still Opportunity to
Win Automobile
10000 Extra Points Will Be Given for Every
50 Worth of Subscriptions Turned in by
Saturday, October 30th.

A new entry will find an excep-
tional opportunity offered in the
campaign if they will begin active
work Immediately under the 10000
extra point offer for 50 clubs of
subscribers.
1t can truthfully be said that 10
one particular candidate is away out
in front in the race, no one per-
son has already accumulated such a
big reserve of points that they
have commanding lead, or already
have one of the automobiles
"cinched."
The race is close at the present
time and a new entry by getting
together several of the 50 clubs of
subscriptions during the next ten
days would receive hundreds of
thousands of points for them and
would soon bring their point stand
ing right up to the top.
There are still hundreds and hun
dreds of both new and renewal
subscriptions to be had in all parts
of the territory covered by the
campaign. The field has not been
thoroughly covered in any section
so far, and in number of localities
practically no work has been done.
But the time has arrived for each
worker to make their supreme effort
if they want to win one of the
automobiles or cash prizes to he
given away on November 10. Work
and hard work is required to win
aprize. For if one does not work
hard secure results for their time
and efforts someone else more en-
terprising may forge ahead.
A systematic canvass during the
present ten day period for 50
clubs of subscription will bring
hundreds of thousands of points and
points will win the automobiles.
