CALIFORNIA Democratic Freeholders Like "Drunken Sailors Joint Meeting Is Told. GOPSILL ALSO STRIKES AT PRESENT PAYROLL SPRING LAKE. Oct. 31 The Democratic-controlled board of freeholders is spending money like a "couple of drunk, en sailors," lt was charged by Freeholder Raymond Wyckoff at a joint meeting of the Sea Girt and Spring Lake Republican clubs at the Community House last night. Wyckoff, seeking reelection on the Republican ticket, asserted that the county payroll at the present time is that of two years ago.

"A dozen feather dustem wouldn't be enough around the courthouse now with all the Janitors that are on the county payroll," he asserted. Wyckoff has been labelled the "feath er duster" candidate because of a pur chase by a former Republican-controlled board. Democrats have asserted the cost was $16 each while the Republicans have contended that amount was paid for a dozen. "I've been labelled the 'feather duster candidate for some reason but the dus ters were bought before I became a member of the board," Wyckoff pointed out. John Duvall Gluck, Bradley Beach, who has been loosing a spirited attack against Wyckoff over the debt of Key.

port when Wyckoff retired from the mayoralty of that town, doesn't know what he is talking about, the Repub lican nominee said. Gluck, publicity agent for the Democrats, was formerly employed by the county. "We just fired that fellow after lt cost us about $250 to find out about some feather dusters," he continued. An attack on the spending of the present freeholder board was also made by Thomas Gupsill, Republican shriev. allty nominee.

"Why, Ed (T. Edwin) Jeffries said that more money was spent in the last two years," Gopsill pointed out. The Democratic freeholder candidate evidently did not realize at the time he made the statement that the board has been controlled by the Democrat during that time, Gopsill charged. The national administration's spending of money for public works projects was assailed by S. L.

Englander, New-ark, chairman of the Passaic Valley Water commission and a member of the Republican state speakers' bureau. The administration's expenditures to date amount to $4.80 per hour since the birth of Christianity, he asserted. 33 Attend Rally Despite last night's downpour 32 persons, besides the candidates and speakers, attended a rally of the Neptune Women's Republican club at the home of Mrs. Emma Wright, 1520 Eighth ave nue, Neptune.

Moran, president of the New Jersey Sales Tax Repeal association, urged the people of Monmouth to elect his Demo cratic rival, Sheriff Howard Height, to the senate next week.

'The coming legislative year will be the most important in the history of this state," Moran declared, "and unless economies are achieved, new taxation will come in March. "Sheriff Height, we believe, will not respond to the Hague Influence if he is elected. He signed our repeal -economy questionnaire gladly and promptly, which is something Senator Durand has always ducked."

John C. Barbour, Passaic, and "the groups in this state who wanted the sales tax and who found economies. There Is no rea son to believe he will change."

TELLS OF CURE Pennsylvania Physician Says Rattle snake Bite Not Always Fatal, (By Science Service) WARREN, Oct. 31.

William M. Cash-man of this city points out in reporting a case to the Pennsylvania Medical Journal. The patient in tills case, altho des perately ill for several days, was saved by a blood transfusion. He was a 15 -year-old boy, who while picking berries was bitten twice on the right thumb by the rattler. He killed the snake and walked a mile to get aid from a friend who treated the bite by the old-time method of cutting open the wound, pouring in gunpowder and setting this on fire.

A tourniquet of a rag bandage was then put on and the lad was brought to the Warren General hospital an hour after the snake had bitten him. His arm and face were already swollen and bluish or purple in color. Treatment with an antlvenlne over a period of three days failed to check the dissolution of the red blood cells caused by the rattler's poison, and the patient was feverish, short of breath, bleeding from the nose and generally In bad shape.

Anderson, assistant state commissioner of education, told 200 persons attending a mass meeting last night he would not permit his own son to attend schools here under present conditions and urged approval at a special election tomorrow of the proposal to construct a new school addition with PWA funds. "With the present facilities your children are not protecfed from the standpoint of health, safety or comfort." the speaker declared, "and I would not permit my own son to attend school here." William M. Smith, county supsr-intendent of schools, stressed the need for the new addition which would be paid for by a PWA loan and grant totaling $76,000. Of this amount, $34,000 would be an outright gift to the board of education. The balance of $42,000 would he repaid the federal government over a period of 30 years.

Anderson said there would be no difficulty in marketing the bonds If the people approve the proposal. A discussion In which a number of taxpayers expressed doubt that the bonds could be marketed resulted in the making of a wager between James B.

DEATH DRIVER FREED SALEM, Oct. 31 (IP) A Jury acquitted Walter D. Olsen of a charge of manslaughter growing out of the death of Philip Balmer in an automobile accident June 22. The verdict was directed by Judge Frank F. Neutze, Democratic Freeholder Candidate Says County Institution Would Save Money.

GIORDANO DECLARES FOES HAVE LOST ASTUTENESS A county prison farm vu advocated by Harry N. Johnson, Highlands, candidate for freeholder, at tlie Democratic rally at the Bradley Beach public school last night. A similar rally was held at Deal, where candidates also spoke. Declaring t' plan would be both economical ai.J humane, Johnson said, "Why should we support In Idleness county Jail Inmates who are able to work, giving them steam heat, electric lights and good meals? Why not have them working for us and supporting themselves or helping to raise produce for the welfare home or hospitals?" "Let us turn a liability Into an asset," he said, suggesting that they could do work such as laying footpaths along the highways and cleaning and beautifying county property. The county owns a 65-acre farm at Allenwood for which it receives but $240 annually, he said, adding that prison farms are being successfully conducted In New York state and Pennsylvania.

Frederic P. Reichey, Bradley Beach, director of the board of freeholders, pointed to the highway Improvements and savings effected by the Democratic administration. He lauded the Democratic party "pay-as-you-go" policy and declared tthere Is $08,000 less to be raised by taxes this year, purely thru the efforts of the party In power. Despite the fact that the county lost $29,000 thru bank closings, the money wag made up and "we balanced the budget," Reichey said. Proof that county business Is being run on a business-like basis is shown by the fact that county bonds which sold for $70 a share before the Democrats gained control, are now quoted at more than $100, said Edward Farry, Keyport attorney, He lauded Sheriff Howard Height, Sea Girt, candidate for senator, and said that the sheriff had printed the brochure on his office's activities with his personal funds because of pride In his work.

Joseph Fix, Red Bank, candidate for allzes that the sales tax repeal Is due to the Democratic party. The Democratic party Is the party of the people, thcr ank and file, and Is not affiliated with moneyed interests as the Republican party Is, Bald Eldon C. Presley, Long Branch, candidate for the assembly. John C. Giordano, Long Branch, attorney, charged that it was Impossible to get Democratic nws published In the dally paper at) Long Branch.

Only yesterday, he said, he had written a reply to charges made in this paper the day before by Republican Freeholder Raymond L. Wyckoff, but the editor had refused to print it because it did not favor the Republican party. It is impassible even to secure space for the announcement of a Democratic club meeting in that paper, he said. "Formerly the Republicans conduct ed their campaign with some degree of astuteness," Giordano said, "but this year they're striving hard to arouse a scare. They make unfounded statements and then run for cover.

It's Just a hit- and-run campaign for them." Undersheriff George Roberts, Middle-town, candidate for sheriff said he and his opponent, Thomas L. Gopslll, Red Bank, had spoken on the same platform before the Little Silver Women's club that afternoon. Speaking first, Roberta asked Gopslll to evplaln his remarks concerning "huge expenditures" In the asked Gopslll to explain his remarks by Gopslll that the undersheriff did not understand the business of the sheriff's office. When Gopslll, spoke, he refused to discuss these things, Roberts said. and confined his talk to generalities Gopslll's record as assemblyman was attacked by Walter Fox, president of the Bradley Beach Democratic club, who declared that Gopslll failed to sponsor a single bill while in the assem bly for the benefit of Monmouth county taxpayers.

"What he did do, however, was to aponsor a small loan bill calling for 36 percent annual Interest," Fox chargea, adding that when the act was amended to read 18 percent later, It was done over Gopslll's protest. Gopslll also sponsors bills to favor private utility corporations to the detriment of tax payers. Fox said. "We are the progressives while the Republicans are the said Mrs. Elkus White, Red Bank, a for.

mer assembly candidate. Mrs. Pearl Kent, Freehold, president of the Monmouth County Women's Democratic club, also spoke briefly. Roberts, Gopsill Speak LITTLE SILVER, Oct. 31.

Qualifica tlons of the respective candidates of both parties for state and county offices were outlined In nonpartisan meeting yesterday of the Little Silver Woman's club by George H. Roberts and Thomas Gopslll, Democratic and Re publican shrlevallty nominees. Mrs. E. Russell, legislative chairman of the club, arranged the program.

Roberts pointed out that 70 percent of the voters of the country were not aligned with either party. However RoberU added, about 40 percent of the Independent voters don't bother to take an active part in government. "Government Is your business and I want to say to you and thru you to the 70 percent, In your hands rests the destinies of our nation," he continued. Until the day when religious, social and fraternal organizations take an active part In the selection of office holders, they have no one to blame for the results but themselves, Roberts as serted. The Democratic party, he said, had given results.

Efficiency has been the aim and despite the fact that more business has been done by the sheriff's office under Howard Height's regime, a saving of approximately $100,000 has been made. "We have kept faith and I am asking to be allowed to carry on," he added Speaking for Height, Roberts said the county voters "cannot afford to reject the opportunity of sending a man to the senate who has their Interests at heart." Joseph Fix, Red Bank, and Elden Presley, Long Branch, assembly candl dateg, are men of ability and personal! ty, he asserted. T. Edwin Jeffries, Free' hold, and Harry N. Johnson, Highlands, freeholder nominees, will be full-time men if elected, he concluded.

Gopsill pointed out that the women boro bonds, protesting a new issue. Anderson explained that should the state board later demand additional facilities, the burden would rest entirely with the board of education. Under the PWA proposal, said, the board is receiving an outright gift of $34,000. He corrected the impression that tne entire $76,000 must be spent. The boro will spend only the actual amount of the contract.

In reply to another question, he said the board of education could not obtain bids because contractors will not reveal figures on "something that is not a sure thing." He predicted that the cost of a new adition would be considerably less than $76,000. The proposal was overwhelmingly defeated In an election three weeks ago. At the time school officials laid the defeat to "malicious propraganda" against the new addition. The addition would include two class rooms, gymnasium, teachers' rooms and offices. The addition would be constructed at school 1, located on the Eatontown-Long Branch boulevard.

TRADE RECIPROCITY URGED BY MEYER America must choose a middle path between nationalism and internationalism, Emil G. Meyer, Newark told Kl-wanls clubs of Asbury Park and Bel-mar, meeting yesterday noon at Sunset Tea room, Eleventh and River avenues, Belmar. Intense nationalism such as is expressed by Germany, Italy and Japan ultimately leads to war, he said. It is dangerous to refuse to accept trade importations and demand payments only In gold, he said, adding that the 1929 crash was precipitated by our greed for gold. The depression was not due entirely to the causes often cited, but largely to the building up of nationalism, he said.

Prosperity is based on peaceful trade and exchange of thought, Meyer said. as he urged reciprocity which will lead to a greater flow of foreign trade. If we do not change our ways, we must give way to a more Intelligent people, he said, citing the case of China and Japan. Hundreds of years ago, the Chinese built a great wall around their country to keep foreigners out while the Japs had Intel-nationalistic views and today the results are clearly shown, ne saw, pointing to Japan progress. STATE RELIEF FUND LESS THAN NEEDED NEWARK, Oct.

31. () State Relief Director Hedden received word from Washington today that the emergency relief administration has allotted New Jersey $1,000,000 as the government's contribution toward relief financing for the first half of November. The allotment was almost $75,000 short of what is needed to finance the ERA for that period, Hedden stated. The state had asked federal authori ties for $3,467,048 for direct relief and financing service and works projects for the full month. The reduction, he said, will necessi tate the terminating of all ERA service and works projects.
