I « There ere nine candidates, on the Eepublkan tfatet, and from these nine One must be selected. Three will be nominated in the Democratic party, and at the lovember electssn the sir will icht it/mt Sever have the Repubticans of Cape May County faced a greater responsibility than when they go to the polls this month. The three men then selected will have the absolute control of the County afairs, and will he called upon to carry on what, in private bnsinm, would amount to a forty-one million dollar corporation, expending annually upward of a half-

The voters are the stockhaitai in tins County corporation, and the men they select will either sdmiaiStor the business economically, fairly and fearlessly, and save the taxpayers money; or administer it citravagai unfairly and to serve special interests—and the taxpayers will PAT. It has been hinted a&eedy that the Wanenite interests, which 1 apparently snch control over a number of counties in the State, have made advances to several of the candidates, and that from this source a aloe shoe c? campaign funds are expected. How this campaign contribution will be repaid, 2 it materialises, the voter and taxpayer will easily nndnatsad Ho elet'ive officer has the absolute power to make or break the County than a Freeholder under the Small Board rule. United States Senator, Governor, Sheriff. Surrogate—all them are important, bat all shrink into insigrificance in relative importance, so far as the tax paying interests of the County are concerned, to the Freeholders, whs are the immediate. local administrative body upon whom, directly, revolve the roods, bridges, almshouse, county offices, and the innumerable lesser matters over which the Freeholders have control, not the least of which is county advertising and mosquito control. Regardless of political affiHatioa, factionalism, sectionalism or relig; ious or social feelings, the voters of Cape Hoy County MUST, to protect their own interests, vote for the three men whom they honestly and conscientiously believe best qualified to fell the offices. The matter of what constitutes the necessary qualifications will, naturally, be a matter of difference of opinion among the vatars. This ranch is established beyond a question of doubt, however—one should have unquestioned administrative ability, another training and experience in financial affairs, and the third an all-round business experience of proven Three men, of all the candidates, who combine there qualifications mast be found, end should be elected.

I CAFE MAY COTJHTY AMD THE TARIFF It is barely peanble that, except for pasting interest as daily reports are given in the newspapers, little attention has been paid in Cape May County to the tariff kgiilatiaa which has re long been occupying the attention of the United States Senate and the House of Representatives. What with the rush of the summer season at the shore, and the samj ea the farms, there has been tittle time for thought on this s this county is aniy slightly interested in manufneturfag, and it is the manufacturing interests that the higher tariff now proposed will help. It is interesting to know, however, that the pocketbook of every man and woman in this county has been mulncted of anywhere from 100 per sent to 1225 per cent, by the importers daring the post few years. la a government pamphlet, just issued by the United Statin Committee on Finance, it is shown that that Swiss watch you thought you were getting at a bargain at, fS.45. cost f 1.00 in Switserland. and coot *1-31 landed in the United States. And the magnifying glass for which you paid 112.00 east 76c in Germany and 91.24 landed here. And you who still use the old-fashioned rmsor. and swear by the well known Webster and Buts “Manganese" Steel rarer, will be surprised to IcMi that this razor for which you paid 95-00, cast 21c in Germany, and landed here SHfce. The reading glass for which, you pay 93.50. coot 67c in France. And if, perchance, yon presented milady with a peart necklace that ret you gifiO at Altman's. Hew York, you will be just s tittle hot under the ™n.T to know that it cost the importer 912.25 in France. The kiddie'i d/Ji which cost Santa 94-50 to bring last Christmas, was produced in -Germany for 37c. Haturelly with such fabulous profits the retailers in the United States •R going to lover goods produced in foreign countries over goods of SyMnifi, manufacture, and American industry suffers. The difference between the cost of production in the United States and in foreign countries goes into the pockets of the importers and the importing retailers (big department stores, etc.) and as see understand the protective tariff, a duty will be imposed on foreign-made goods of a sufficient amount to bring the coot “landed" there up with that of goods of American manufacture. Seems sensible, at that, doesn't it?
