Mass., class of 1915. The bride was recently employed In the Philadelphia office of the Pennsylvania League of Working Women's Clubs. Mr. Ferris was a Lieutenant in the Artillery branch during the late war. and when -he armistice was signed was an instructor in the Officers' Training Camp at Fortress Monroe. Va. Since the war he has been Purchasing Agent for the Hudson River Day Line, whose boats ply between New York and Albany. On the morning of bis marriage he received a telegram announcing that the Board of Directors had on Friday unanimously elected him Assistant Treasurer of the Line, his promotion to become eifective at noon—the hour of his wedding.

The bride’s gown was white bt aded georgette over satin, with a court train.

j GENERAL ELECT ION.WILL BE HELD NEXT TUESDAY Paramount Issue Is Leagus of Nations In Presidential Campaign; Kean |lntsrestJ8hown In Assembly Contest. The great day of which much ha* been .-aid and written in the psHt fe * months, will be next Tuesday, when the voters of the nation will decide between the sane Harding reconatruc lion plan of Governmental management. and the Cox League of Notion* The taci that women are voting foi tin- lirst time adds zest to the campaign. which is one of the holiest ever

waged.

The chief issue in the Presidential campaign, probably centered upon to • loud the vision of the voters to more actual Issues, is the League of Nations, Cox standing squarely for the Coiled Slates joining the League with all its Wilsonian ramifications, and Harding opposed to the league as it stands, but favoring an association of nations to prevent future wars. Probably such a league was foreseen even In the time of George Washington, for il was he, in his last message to Congress, who said: "I beseech you, my countrymen, to make no alliances with loreign countries and that can only lead to disaster.” While Cape May County Interest Is at high pitcl over the Harding-Cox campaign, no lesser interest is, being taken in the fight between Assemblv man Andrew Boswell, of Ocean City, and Miss Frances Baker, of Wildwood, "ho opposed him for re-election. Mr imswell is the Republican nominee, and Miss Baker the Democratic candidate. Miss Baker's campaign has been chiefly a solicitation of votes because ot her service as a Red dross nurse during the world war in France, and as demonstration of her ability, she has frequently cited her management of an after-war canteen in Pari*, which she says was the most efficient ly managed canteen in France. Mr. Roswell's campaign has been quiet, and he has relied wholly upon the knowledge of the voting public of hi.accompUshmenu during the past year as the representative of Cape May County, when he secured the passage of an act by both branches of the J House, providing for a dock at Cape May, and a State-operated ferry to Lewes. Delaware, to connect CapeMay County with the southern states •by a direct route. The bill was vetoed by our Democratic Governor, and was then passed through the Senate over his veto, and is now back in the house for adoption. In addition to this. Mr. Boswell has secured the enactment of several laws drafted chiefly to fit Cape May County's needs, among which is the law whereby mu nicipaJities may clear up lots from all debris and Weeds and collect the cost from the owner thereof, and another law which makes it unnecessary to advertise for tax sale lots on which the taxes are less than $10, effecting a big saving to all the resor-. The election of Mr. B well is almost a certainty, though Miss Baker, always active in suffrage work, is making a strong appeal for the women Isaac Bacharacb, the Republican Congressional nominee, is opposed loi re-election by Dr. Jonah, the Demo cratic choice As the congressional district is overwhelmingly Republican, and Mr. Bacharacb has made such an enviable record during Ms past two terms as Congressman. M- election is a certainty. Dr. Jonah is little known, and has no record of public achievement to which to poln

UTILITY ELECTION NOVEMBER 30TH

COMMISSIONERS AT MEETING ON MONDAY ACT UPON PETITIONS FOR CITY TO ACQUIRE PUBLIC UTILITIES; SPECIAL ELECTION CALLED FOR LAST OF NOVEMBER; MORE SIGNERS THAN NEEDED ON PETITIONS «ND MOVEMENT .S POPULAR ONE.

Hew movement.- started In recent year. ,n .Sea Isle City have received more popular approval and support than the proposed purchase of all of 'he resort's utilities and their operation by the City. At Monday’s meeting of the City Commissioners a special election was ordered for November 30th, when the taxpayers will have an opportunity to express their idea- on the subject by their vote. The plan is to purchase the Electric Light Company, the Water Works and the Gas plane The petitions for the purchase were originally presented to the Commissioners in September, but lacking definite opinion from the City Solicitor on their legality, no action was taken for several weeks, when it was found that the petitions lacked the required number oi signers. They were again presented on Monday with more than the needed number, and the resolution calling to- the special election was then adopt-d. Asked his opinion on the matter on Monday. Mayor Fitch said: "At first I was not altogether in favor of Urn purchase. as the project appeared to be such a big one, but since I have studied i carefully, I have come to the conclusion that it is one of the finest things that has ever been attempted and will give it my whole hcartedi

support."

Director Chapman sim-larly voiced his approval, and stated that “The city could affect many savings in the operation of the plants, beside the saving of more than $10,000 spent annually for electric light and water for city purposes. In addition to this,” Mr. Chapman said, "the convenience to the visiting public in having one central office for the conduct of all business with the public utilities will be a wonderful step forward.” Director of Finance Love is In accord with the other Commissioners, but when las: Interviewed was not over-enthusiastic on the water and electric light proposiiio:iK. but was heartily in favor of the , as plant purc. aae to end for all time the present miserable service, which has shown no Improvement despite frequent promises of betterment on the part of gas company officia's. At least one of the utilities, the water company. Is ready at any time to meet the City half way In the proposed sale, and a representative of the company unofficially stated last week that they would take the city's bonds in payment of the plant at whatever price was set upon it by the appraisement commission, which will be composed of an engineer appointed by the City, one by the water company, and a third disinterested referee. Uflieial notice of the election will be given next week.
