Will Go Into Burlington and
Union Counties-Also Com
ing to His Home
BY GEORGE H. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of The
Perth Amboy Evening News
WASHINGTON. June 26.—8enator
Joseph S. Frelinghuysen's campaign
for re-election has taken on a con
siderably brighter appearance dur
ing the past ten dajs through the
rallying of several of the New Jei
sey congressmen actively to his sup
port who had previously held aloof
with intention of going it alone.
Noting the complete apathy ol
several of the Jersey congressmen
towards the Frelinghuysen campaign
brought about either by dissatisfac
tion with distribution of patronage
or belief that they might Injure their
own chances of success by too close
alignment with the senatorial tic
ket. Congressman Frank Patterson,
Frelinghuysen'* campaign manager
talked things over with the other
House members last week with a
view to healing any sores and get
ting all the Jersey Congressmen to
solidly support Senator Frelinghuy
sen.
Before leaving Washington Satur
day to spend the week-end at his
home in Camden, Congressman Pat
terson stated that he had talked
during the pa*t few days with Con
gressmen. Baeharach. Hutchinson.
Ackerman, Perkins. Olpp, Appleby.
Lehlbach, Parker. Taylor and Rad
cllffe and that all had expressed
themselves as favoring the re-elec
tion of Senator Frelinghuysen.
Mr. Patterson also stated that he
knew that Senator Edge and the
Edge lieutenants all over New Jer
sey favor Senator Frelinghuysen s
re-election and will work to bring it
about He has recently received
word from a number of the Edge
lieutenant*, he said, who asserted
their intention to support Senator
Frelinghuysen.
There has been no evidence of a
desire on the part of Senator Edge
or any of his supporteds to knife
Senator Frelinghuysen. On the con
trary. Senator Edge stated sevetal
months ago that he favored the re
election of Frelinghuysen and would
do anything possible to help him.
He felt certain, he said, that ms
rfiends would tako the same posi
tion. Senator Edge has maintained
this position since.
Some friends of Senator Freling
huysen pointed out only a few days
ago that this was the only logical
position for Senator Edge and his
supporteds to assume because Sen
ator Edge comes up for re-election
two years hence and may need *he
support then of the Frelinghuysen
forces.
From now on Senator Freling
huysen expects to spend considera
ble time going about New Jersey
making speeches here and there and
meeting as many of the people as
possible. He will spend two days
this week in the state, visiting Bur
lington county and Elizabeth and
plans to be in New Jersey almost
all of Fourth of uJly weey. From
then on he will make visits to the
state, staying two or three days at
a time as the condition of business
in the senate will permit.
Senator Frelinghuysen’s next visit
to the state is planned for tomor
row. June 27. when with Congress
man Isaac Bacharach. he will inake
a flying trip through Burlington
county.
Next Saturday. July 1. Senatoi
Frelinghuysen will acompany Vice
President Coolidge to Elizabeth to
participate in a civic celebration tr
be held there. They expect to spend
the next day. Sunday, at the sena
tor’s home at Raritan.
On the Fourth of July Senatoi
Frelinghuysen will make a .speed
at Ocean Grove on prohibition law
enforcement before a large gather
ing to be held by the Methodisi
Episcopal church. He will tak<
Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin alonj
with hint. Senator Lenroot will alsc
deliver an address.
Senator Frelinghuysen is expect
ing to spend the remainder of thai
week in New Jersey going aboui
meeting the various Republicar
county and city committees and get
ting generally acquainted.
It is planned for Senator Freling
huysen to make no speeches unti
after the nomination so as to con
serve his energy and verbal ammu
nition to meet any turn the tide ma\
take in the closing weeks of th:
campaign.

Heretofore the Company’s only stock
I has been common stock, held by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company. The new stock is preferred
over the common stock both as to assets
and dividend: and is a security of the
highest character.
The book figures of the Company on j
December 31,1921. showed an investment
of $443,495,000. with interest bearing in- ,
debtedness of $157,953,000. The
present actual value of the Company's
property is largely in excess of its book !
figures. The annual dividend requirement
for this issue of preferred stock totals
$1,625,000. The Company's net income
in 1921 available for dividend purposes
amounted to $13,244,543.

The proceeds of this stock will be used
to provide new buildings, switchboards,
cable, poles, wires, and other facilities [
needed to meet the demand for more tele

phone service.
Satisfactory telephone service depends
largely upon the cooperation of our cus
tomers, employees and management.
This cooperation, we believe, will be in
creased through the direct personal in
terest in the Company, which our cus
tomers will have as shareholders. i
