Wben to tell the Parents great question confronts us imn with portentous portanoe. We may not shirk it. it lies at the basis of all home life. Many children under a nnstaken sense of their own obligations, go on year after year, keeping from their parents certain facts which If the par cuts were frankly told would save them from Incalculable consequence* Parents are already suffering immeasurably from this Ignorance They go on heedlessly, without regard tor

day they wake up to find it la lata. Children should be made awnr this. They shoo old draw their parents frankly to their side, and tell them SlU. ... a - a. Chlldrer. do not hesitate! lie mem ber that It la your sacred duty, a duty which you may not hope to erad More parents suffer from this criminal hesitancy on the part of child ren than from any other cause. They go on year after year that some day they arc undeceived. We urge all modern children, therefore. not to vaiL Just as soon as you can get your parent* alone, tell them the old, old story. Tell them that although you are somewhat younger* than they are, you already know it alL Tail them cot to make any attempt to thlngw plain to as the first thing yon did when you were old enough to talk, was to out all about it yonrcelfU will be a great shock to them at first at course, to dlsouover that you know so much.

Having been brought up In the Hembliran party, and believing firmly it, uriurlDlot and being pmu « - vmerlcan clUxeu to aspire lO pu. ■trice, and being deairoue of sec. cany reforms promised by the K< ,ob 11 can party of Now Jersey, I have teeded the advice of friends and am ' candidal* for the Bepubllcan noml ation tor the House of Assembly rom Cepe May County at the prluarlea which will Occur on Tuesday, lepiamber Mtt, 1»08. from one dock la the afternoon until nine dock In the evening. True representative men, who will epreeent the people, must auad for less and principles, and those who isve none have no right to esk oi he electorate Us support for publii ■ffloe.

In Ocean cunfyjs the northern end,la desired, through ths wise recommendation! o overnor fort, there has been exended in the past two years a I arable sum of money by lb* State xr the dredging of this waterway,anc h-j portion of U between Cape May *ty and Wildwood Crest M bow open o navigation and proves the value .

If noml ateo. and elected by the people, 1 .axil use every means to further the cKiAlatlou which will bring to a com/istion this mos. excellent work. «hlch bad the ardent support of the preseat senator and assemblyman rom Cepe May County. The platform adopted by the Republican Stale Canvention In Sepember. l»07, said: “The policy oi Hate aid for good roads was inaugu sled by the Bepubllcan party, and nls policy has placed' New Jersey irst la the nation In Us road system. Che Bepubllcan party stands pledged e Us conllsnsnce." I am strongly !u <vor of the building of the Sta: ,cean Front Boulevard, which, when ompleted will be 127 miles long, vhlcb will extend through the whole Uatance of Cape May County, from resley’s Point over the shore road e Cape May. Cape May County has toeHent roads already and the pal tounectlooa will be the bMldlny t the bcldga ever Egg Harbor Bay. which expense will have to be prin .-■pally borne by Atlantic and Cape -ay Counties, of which expense 1 •Leva the Stale should bear a porxoa, and U sleeted.

Capa May County .ti m longer at the batioa of the

ir."

The two eeaoiona of the LegUU tore which havetera held elao< wee made, have failed to enact the laws which public Interest seemed to regnlrs. Cape May County has bi few of these corporations at and U Is. thersforw, ant so mu

t Is his last annual 10 ths LsgHlMurs In 'Bo far ss 1 know, no ise exists for the fui>r continuance of the county boards the equaHnntion of taxes. They coil the taxpayers of the Stats and ty about ooe hundred and twenty thousand' dollars per year. H they ever bad any useful purpose,which 1 doubt, they have served It and their further ontlnuance can only be Justified up* >n the Tow end sbeolutelly tndefensl- » ground that places are provided eighty-four persons to draw sal...tu from the public treasury which

are not earned.”

I will vote for the repeel of any law continuing them. Cepe May County pays out for the experimental orxanlsatioe about two thousand end five hundred dollars per year in addition to the three thousand paid by the State to the three members of tbs board. This Is an expense that the tax payers can cheerfullly dis-

pense with.

1 am also In favor of the repeal of the law which limits the local tax rate and which has caused our own county tax assessments to rise to grexter proportions than wet sary In order to get the amount of taxes needed to carry on the municipal governments and yet keep within the law with regard to the limit of the rate. I also favor a law wbK will require the railroad! to pay their taxes Into the Bute treasury at the same time aa the local tax payer Is required to pay hie taxes to the local tax collector, so that the distribution of the funds to be paid ont of the Stale Treasury for the schools shall be paid to them within a reasonable period of a few months and not eighteen months after their collection, ns is the case today. The railroads should not have any more privileges than the Individual tax payer should the Individual taxpayer have any more privileges than the railroads and kindred corporations. I am In favor of the direct primary elections which allow every person to vote for whom he pleases for the nomination for any office without re gard to the dictates of a few selfchosen leaders, who presume to select the candidates tor the people and whoee candidates are generally fo> what Is termed those who have special Interests at stake in expectant legislation. I believe In the system of direct primaries which now exists In the counties snd In the lesser political divisions of the counties. The State Republican platiorm.here toforc quoted-In part, said; “Our primary law—a Bepubllcan enactment— has done away with the violence and fraud at the primaries and has enabled voters to express their choice and exercise their will in the nomlna ting conventions. We pledge ourselves to such amendments of this act as will simplify and Improve our primary system.” I believe that they should be extended to the nominations of consul governor, and will, accordingly, vote for such blDs as will lend to bring about the extension of direct primaries to the selection of

the Otvil Bervtoe Reform Taw, which was Ont enacted In 1*07, and under Which now about 1,EM faithful per•one ere protected from the uncertainties of partisan politics. The civil service requires the best of men, and they should be protected when they are hone illy performing their dotle» for the public good.

I shall advocate

I am In accord with Governor Fort who. In his recent address, well said: The overthrow of the control of the political party by special Interest! through the medium of the] booses and to that end an amendment of the primary and the election laws, providing for thbe direct nomination of the governor, .congressman, di-le-i to the national conventleuacmbers of party committees, and providing tor the Massachusetts ballot, of which the eeemtlel feat urea are the printing of all the names of the candidates upon one ballot and requiring the voter to Indicate his choice for office by marking a cross opposite the

wHl grant each borough, township, and city pore home rule or local option; what I mean by local option Is that each municipality shall decide for kaelf whether it shall allow the sale of brewed or mak liquors, or decide any other questions of sufficient Importance, upon which the voters of such municipalities should ex preis their will. I believe In majority rule In eoch matters. The conetitntion of New Jersey forbids the legislature to pan laws regulating the Internal affairs of dtiee, townships or boroughs, but It may peas laws under which the people who reside In these places may regulate their own affaira, and a local option law of the proper sort Is one of these manners

of regulatio*.

I believe to economy In State affaire and believe that there are too high salaries paid to some state officials, who appear In their offices In the state capKol but a few hours on Tuesdays In each week, while they receive from five to six times the amount In salary that their subordl--ales receive. The latter work nix days In the week and work hard. U a state official, or. In fact, a county official, receives a salary of 11,604 or 12,000 a year or more, he ehould devote hie time to *he state or county work, and if be le not In the position to do eo, be eboulld tot some person who would devote his time to the office have the Job. All of the foregoing ideas ere Republican in principle, and should'be carried ont for the good of the gen-

eral pub He.

I am unalterably opposed to the uae of money In elections, and by this 1 mean, the purchasing of the franchise of the electors with palgn funds, which are raised by people who have no Interest In the public, bat only In their own aggrandisement or the perpetuation of some nefarious scheme which will benefit a chosen few or some corporations whose officers may be blind to tiee and right. 1 do not want to be elected to this office by bought votes and I will use every effort to prevent anything of this kind being done In any campaign with which I have anything to do. If the evil of the use of money in .election! continue there will be no need for a poor, honest man to be a candidate for any off. oe, no matter bow humble the office may be. When persona will expend five or alx, and sometimes ten, times amount of the salary of the office In order to obtain It,he has another motive besides the Interest of tbi pobHc at heart and ought ti

I believe that my experience as assistant secretary of the State Senate In the sessions of 1906 and 1904 will be of great advantage to the. County of Cane May should I be inated and elected. I am far with gn the details of the legislative work snd I believe that I would be In a much better position to secure tbs legislation that the State and the County desire than would person who has never seen the inside of the legislative halls. Having been part of ^he legislative machinery, and knowing the routine from the ■■■ hfU is Introduced Into the Legislature until It reaches the Governor's offloe for approval, I know that I win be to n better position to expedite matters needing help. I will use every endeavor to rid all leglslaUoc which will b* to the general Interest of the Bute at large snd to Capo May County In particular. 1. therefore, ask your earnest support at the coming primaries, 'Jw dato at which, aa before noted, Jm Tuesday, September St, 1909, from LOO P.
