Such progreasivemlnded people Cape May needs and at no time more urgently than now. Cape May has them, citisens who take every opportunity to say a good word for the city, to do all In their power to advance ila Interests even at the sacrifice of personal convenience. Their work will tell. As is generally known by the citisens of Cape May, City Recorder John W. Thompson is one of the active workers for Cape May's progress and improvement.

I think I am pretty well aoqualnird with the people of Cape May and with their general sentiments regarding tbs city's advancement and I want to nay to you as emphatically as I can that the very great majority of them are on the side of progress. I am proud of them for that fact. What we want to do is to work together for ever will contribute to putting Cape May ahead. We must not expect outside capital and energy to come here and do all toe work while we stand idly or and do nothing to assist them, or still worse, pnt obstacles in their way, Each and all of us oan do something for our city’s ad' ment, even if It is only to say a good word at the right time,'’ Mr Thompson, upon being questioned stated that the Improvement project In which be and others are especially interested at this time baa practically just been launched, but it is going ahead splendidly, be added. In this connection be showed the Herald representative a letter which be received a day or two ago from a i neut Philadelphia financier who ed him for the eoenteric way In which be W pushing Cape May and her Ini Later on, Mr Thompson said, be would be prepared to go fully into sereaal improvement matters which he deems of Utmost Importance to Cape May progress, and that be would be pi use the columns of ebe Hkbaij>.

The appointment of Robert J. Wynne as Postmaster General, while bat one act, refutes all of these assertions. There was no single reason of politics why be should have been named to succeed Postmaster General Payne. He is without poUUcul puli or association.
