Millard Speak
TRENTON. May 15—That 300.
OO'i western farmers left for Canada
during the recent months of eco
nomic Stress was the declaration of
IT. Walter Millard of Philadelphia,
speaking here on "Proportional Rep
resentation." at the Second annual
convention of the New jersey League
of Women's Voters. He declared
that was the reason for the recent
defeat of the non-partisan league
candidates in North Dakota. These
farmers learned that the laws in
Canada affecting their calling Wire
more liberal and elastic, said the
speaker, than those of their own.
country. When President llar
dina came back front Flor
ida before his Inauguration,
cot tlnucd l>r. Millard. he an
■ ounced that legislative actiort would
he taken, for instance, to further
irrigation for the agricultural inter
ests. The action was not taken,
however. The convention was then
reminded of the present agitato,n In
congress for the soldier's bonus be
■ause of the voting power of the
former soldiers.
The speaker discussed proposed
election changes to gl*e the minority
class of voters a change for repre
sentation. He instanced the situa
tion in this state where Essex county
usually votes an entire delegation of
twelve assemblymen without repre
sentation in the delegation for the
minority. He praised the preferen
tial plan of voting and the city man
ner system of government for mu
nicipalities.
“I never denounce the boss." said
the speaker. "I have but one ob
jection to him because he seems to
he a necessity. The only objection
is he generally chargea so much for
his services."
me women were a.au iota met.
democracy has gone to see because
the ballot is always loaded up with
andldates and it is impossible for
the voters to know the technical
duties of the offices they seek nor
the respective abilities of those who
want to fill them. Then as soon as
a man Is trained in the public serv
ice a» a mayor or other official he
may be turned out of office at the
next election, with the result that
many capable will refuse to make
he public service their life work,
preferring some other lines of er
Jeavor where the work will be
permanent.
The convention went on record as
declaring war a crime which should
be outlawed. Another resolution
praising the Washington arms con
ference and urging further disarma
ment was laid over because of the
doubt as to its practical meaning at
this time.

Necessary to Call Out More
Men--Many Arrests Are
Made
Automobile traffic through Perth
Ambov yesterday threatened for a
time tu swamp Ihe police department
and at the height of the pressure it
was found necessary to call out addU
tlcnal men. Right policemen were
on the job handling the automobiles
that streamed through the city all
day long. At one time the cars
waiting for the ferry were lined up
two abreast from the foot of the
ferry hill to city hall pork.
In an interview thla morning Chief
of Police Tonnesen used yesterday's
crush of cars as an argument for
at least two moro motorcycle men
for the city police department. He
pointed out that eight hours In the
saddle of a motorcycle is enough
to nak of any man and that in order
to cope with the situation during
such times as yesterday the present
men are compelled to work overtime
at their Jobs of patrolling.
The chief said that all Indica
tions were that this year would see
the heaviest automobile traffic in
the history of Perth Amboy and
that the only solution he could see
was the addition of more motorcycle
I men. He added that four was the
| minimum number needed for
efficiency and expressed himself as
strongly in favor of the appointment
of two more.
On Saturday night Motorcycle
Officers Frank Selbzoth and William
Bachman, with Patrolman William
J. Keating and Frank Burke con
ducted a raid on motorists passing
the corner at Amboy and New
Brunswick avenues. All cars with
out proper lights were halted and
seventeen drivers were arrested
and arraigned before Recorder
Harold R. Pickersgill sitting In spe
cial session at the police court.
Summonses Issued for future court
sessions brought the total number
of arests j*P to thirty-five over the
week end. the greatest number for
many months past. Fines levied by
the judge ranged from $5 to $25
for failure to have tail lights and
headlights burning.

ciation has lot* the last ten- years
