WHAT McKISSIC THINKS OF RIGOR’S BEATING.

Freeholder J. P. MeKlsaic, of Lower Township, was one of the factors in beating D. Miles Rigor, psuedo Republican County leader, at the Wildwood Crest municipal election last week, when the question of whether or not the Crest should adopt City form of government was pnt up to the voters

at Rigor's Instigation.

McKisalc was to have been defeatI for re-election to the Board of Freeholder* thl* fall by Rigor, who hoped to get two of his own men from the Crest on the Board, to eventually

gain cont'ol of that body.

a letter to the press this week. McKisalc reports the result of the election on August ?th as follows: 'Below Is the result of the Wildwood Crest election. In the First Ward where the Would-Be Boss Rigor there were 46 roles polled, of th 26 were lo remain a Borough. 19 to change lo City goveramenL with one ballot rejected. In the Second Ward, where I reside, he was trimmed up properly, out of 35 votes polled. 27 being to remain In the pres-

ent form of government

"Mr. Rigor waa going to pull off something great in his own way, and control the Board of Freeholders, and incidentally beat me out for reelection. My district composes Lower Township and the horougn that originally came off this territory, including West Cape May. South Cape May. Cape May Point and Wlldw-ood Crest, the lat*<r borough growing In the past seven years from an assessed valuation of $2500 to nearly IZ.OOO.OM Tnis wonderful growth Is doe to tthe fact that Baker Brothera. the of the Borough, ao carefully guided their Infant to a healthy majority. and the present Mayor, Philip P Baker. Is not going to. and the residents of the Crest an- not going to. allrtr Mr Rigor to run away with the rains of governuienL to which be has
