the lave which public Interest to require Cap# May County ba» bul a few of theee corporation* at proseli and It is. therefore, not »o much con cerued ocer their control aa are the concealed cltle* of Newarit. Jerae) City. Paterson and other auch places The time, however, !a not far distant warn coAvplaints may be hroncht In this county asaiuat the Dsnacemem of these classes of companies, wblcfi are crowing In number, and It la well to take time by the forelock and have • urb lealalatlor aa shall be beneft clal for this county aa it la for thi other counties. Such legislation ha» been udrocated by Governor For..am 1 a ball aid him In every possible w.o In carrying out the promtaea of lb. party solemnly made to the people Governor Fort In bla last annual message sect to the Legislature In January said: "So far aa 1 know, no I reasonable excuse exists for the fur tber continuance of the county boardr of the equalisation of taxes. They co.» the taxpayers of the State and Coun ty about one hundred and twenty tboo sand dollars per year. If they ever had any useful purpose.which I doubi. they have served It and their ninbe: continuance can only be Justified up on the low and abaolutelly Indefensi hie ground that places are provide, for eighty-four persona to draw «a arte* from the public treasury which are not earned." I will vote for the repeal of any law continuing them. Cape May Coun ly pays out for the experimental or ganlxatlon about two thousand anc five hundred dollar* per year In ad dltion to the three thousand pale by the State to the three member* of the board. This Is an expense that the UX payers can cbeerfullly die

pease with.

I am also in favor of the repeal of the law which Mmita the local tax rata and which has caused our owi county tax assessments ‘ to rise u greater proportions than were neces ja^ In gnjer to get the amount oi tales needed to carry on lie m'unici paj governments and yet keep wlthli lha Uw with regard to the limit o< the'rate. 1 also favor a Uw which will require the railroads to pay thel: taxes Into the State treasury st lbsame time ss the local IgX payer *- required to pay hU taxes to the Iocs tax collector, so that the dUtrlbutlo: of the funds to be paid out of Uk Stale Treasury for the schools shs be paid to them within S feaponsbl. twfud of a tey months and not eigh (wen months after their collection. a< is the cage today. The railroad* Should not have any more privilege* than the Individual U* payer nor •bovid the Individual taxpayer h»> any more privileges than the railroad, and kindred corporatlona. 1 am In favor of the direct primary elections which allowvery perse to vote tor whom be pleases for th* lamination fo{ any office ylthout r. ftrd to the dictates Of a Jew sell fhoaen leaders, who presume to sc lact the candidates for the people and whose candidates ere generally for. what U termed those who have sp. oial Interests at alaka In expecta--leglslatlon. I believe In the sysn-n of direct primaries which now exist* In th# counties and In the leaser po UUcal divisions of the counties The State Republican platform.her. tofore quoted In part, said; “Our prl mary MW—* Republican BpaptmentLas done.ayay with the violence ano [read at the primaries and bag en aided voters to express their cholc. and exercise their will in the nomlna ting conventions. We pledge ourselv.s to sneh amendments of thU act as fill plmpRfy and Improve opr prl mao- sratf®." „— l believe that they should be ex tended to the nominations of con gresamea and governor, and will, ac cordlngly, rote for ftmh bilU (and in bring shcot the — dlrpct' primaries to the

The constitution of the United SUtea. however, provides that thay ihalf be fleeted by the legUUturea of be several stales, and. therefore. It riu be difficult to determine Just »bat L proper an£ wbat will not aovvrt the .Ideas of the framers of >ur excellent federal constitution. The last Republican platform delared. "The Legislature has passed eeolutlous favoring an amendment o tbe federal eonaCJtullon of the el--ctlon of United States Senators by popular vote, and until auch amend- . has been adopted, wc favor the enactment of a Uw for expression In authoritative way by tbe voter la choice for tbe United States

Senator."

1 believe that the Uw of 1»0S ought :o he amended an that not only before «n election of the Legislature wblch ■III choose a senator, but that the -andldatc ought to be voted on by a ■tale wide primary, and a Republican Legislature should choose the H.-pub-Ican with the highest vote, or a Dem •cratic Legislature should choose the Jetnocral with the highest vote. I am In fa*or of the extension of he Civil Service Reform Law. which was first enacted In 11*07, and under which now abont 1.S00 faithful pel'I

I belieie la majority . ule In such matters The coustltuJon of New Jersey forbids the legislature to pass Uws regulating the In rnal affairs of cities, townships or boroughs, but It may pass laws under hlcb the people who reside in these places may regulate their own affairs. and s local"option Uw of the proper aort is one of these manner*

I believe In economy in State -'alra and believe that there are ux high salaries paid to some state of IciaU, who appear In their offices in be state capitol but a few hours on Tuesdays In each week, while they

Nervous Coiiapse "I lr*vc traveled for thirty years continually. I lost a great deal of sleep, which together with constant worry left me in such ».nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of nervous prostration, I was obliged to give up traveling altogether. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles' Nervine came to my rescue—I cannot describe the suffering which this Nervine saved me. Whenever I am particularly nervous a few doses relieve me." A. G. C. LIBBY. Wells. Me. There are many nervous wrecks. There is nervous prostration bf the stomach, of the bowels, and other organs. The brain, the kidneys, the liver, the nerve centers are all exhausted. There is hut one thing to do*— build up i; nervous system by the use of Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. Its strengthening ir.ilucnce upon the nervous sysu-.n restores normal action to the organs, and when they all work in harmony, health is assured. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.
