At the coming election the 7 voters of Cape May County will be called upon i« decide a very Important qneetlon, and one upon which party polltfes should hare so affect whatever. At the last seaelon of the legislature, a law (Chapter 89) was passed, giving the people of this country s right to rote upon the question la■creaatng the membership of the Board of Freeholders from three to fire.
