Political Notes. George L. Lovell, w ho for ear* has been the U. 8 Weather Agent here, and who will be succeeded October 1st by Capt. Theodore F. Townsend, will be a candidate for As- ■ st the coming primaries. Some year*ago Mr. Lovett was tax collector f Cape May. Stille Hand will be a candidate for re-election lo council, and his petition now being circulated. Councilman Joseph Hand will be a candidate for re-election at the coming election. People Favor Him Assemblyman Isaac T. Nichols, of Cumberland county, has filed his paper for renominstion there. Mr. Nichols has a host of Iriends in Cape Mayas well as in bis home county, who hope to see him renominated and elected lor the reason that he is an ardent champion of the people's rights in the New Jersey Legislature. a power for good in the legislative balls and bis broad exparience as former assemblyman and state senator aids him in doing this excellent'wdrk for the people. Bis marvelous vote of 1 year shows that he is believed imby constituents and bis record in the last session 'of legislature has in no wav changed the people’s minds, exsept to m more , etrungly in their favor. There are lota pf people in the Second erser Congresnonal District who would like to see i him a member of Congress and there is no doubt but that be will be boomed for that position should be be elected,for itbe legislature, of which election thi no doubt.

To vote against such a measure, as I conceive 11 would be arrogating to myself a superior knowledge than that jioaseased by the people, and deprive the people of the right of the elective franchise -in a word, it would deny to them the right to govern themselves.
