POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS The statement la givec out by the friends of Senator Robert E. Hand that be Is sure to be returned as Senator In the next November el teas no “man In Gape May Cotaity can defeat him." To the people of Cape May Ojunty, this statement

only once In hi* four preceding cootett* for the nomination for the Benatorshlp did "Bob'' secure a majority of the votes cast to the Republican primaries, and that waa the first time he ran, in 1897, when he defeated Senator Edmund L. Roes. At that ny Democrat* ars alleged to have voted to the primaries In Middle. Dennis and Lower Township*,and Cape May City, becauae about twenty five per cent, more persons voted If. these primaries that voted for him i election day In 1900 Hand was oppoeed by II* H. Marshall and while Hand i pomination, thirty votes in county In Cape May City, Middle and Dennis Township* would have given Marshall 45 of the 60 delegates the convention. Marshall had on popular vole about 200 majority over Hand, as statistics made al

show.

In 1903 Lewi* M Creese 1 noted for Senator over Hand by two delegate*, yet Creoae had •najority over Hand In the Jf over 500. That year Hand led the Democratic (B. L. Rice) forces, hot wa* unable to prevent CTesse's decUon to the Senate. Three years ago while Hand defeated Senator Crwef by * half vote by reason of the pernicious delegate irssae had a popular majority over Hand of 200. year, the first under direct primaries. Hand's candidate tor oormer Jerome 6,Ru*h,*ra* defeated for he notrinatioa by Mark Lake, accounted a Crease follower, by a vote of 1136 to 790. or 346. This wa* a straw to ehow the feelings of tbf Rtpubllpana. This year will be the first direct primary fight of Hand, if h« ia a candidate, and Ms friends will find that with a total vote to count the result* will be quite different from manipulating del gate* from Iwwgh* Every voters' ballot count* for and against a can-

didate.

There la talk now the former Mayor Thomas W. Millet, of Cape May. will be put forward by the Hand tortor county clerk at the oomtag primaries.
