In this county ‘He nomination of candidate* for county office* in particular, is almost equivalent to their election, because of. the normal overwhelming Republican majority. JOSEPH 0. CHAMPION Six years ago. Mayor Joseph 0. Champion was practically drafted by the good-thinking Republicans of the county, to be a candidate for Freeholder. It will be recalled that be did not want the office, and only agreed to run when others refused to be candidates unless his name was linked with theirs.

WILDWOOD—More

of Lulu TtmpI*. will lead thr-j

visitation In s special

scheduled to leave Broad Street Station al 6 o'clock on Friday evening. Mr. and Mr*. Hlghfield will remain In Wildwood

over the week-end.

George William*, preaide.it of I the Northeast Shrine Club, and t Harry Kramer, chrlnonn nl ih- > committee in charge of promoting the event, will act a* shepherd* | lo the Invaders. Itarry Coll. Geo. i Sheer and Hugh Clark are charge of the arrangement to' j Ihe Wildwood Shrine Club. Mayor Robert G. Pierpen: j -president “f the Wildwood Club., said today that the commiltn had prepared an elaborate enter j tainmeni and dinner for the vlsl :

individuals urging dubious projects, and this has probably cost him votes :n some sections of tbe county. But the same ability to say NO should certainly work to his advantage

with "the fair-thinking voter.

The compensation of a Freeholder 'n this county is $1500 a year, with no extras and no fees of anv kind. Ea~h Freeholder must pay his own travelling expenses It can readily be seen that the financial retnrn offers little attraction to the type of representatives who can really hold down this

position CAPABLY.

Mr. Chamuion deserves—has earned—tbe solid becking of the Reoublicans o f tbe county next Tuesday. That he will get the nomination, there is no doubt whatever. But as a testimonial to hi' achievements and his sacrifice to public interests, he should U given a complimentary vote that will

place him ut the head of hi* ticket!

FORREST M. RICH

Another important county office, the conduct of which must be efficient, honest and fearless, is that of Sheriff. From time immemorial, it has been the custom to elect to this office the man who has served as Deputy Sheriff, because such a man is familiar with the routine of the office, and can step in and handle it without difficulty. Forrest M. Rich, present Denuty to Sheriff Hoffman, is a candidate for Sheriff, and as with the other candidates, his nomination next Tuesdav is tantamount to election. He is a clean-cut. able and honorable type of young American, and of the calibre that makes outstanding public officials His service as Deputy has been above reproach, and he merits solid Republican support next Tuesday.
