POLITICAL NEWS | AND COMMENT I SOME POINTS ON CAMPAIGN : Opiiisns of Newspapers ii I Different sectioas tf Ike Caaa- : ' try ea Natieaal Coit&t Cape May County would be lacking 1 in appreciation of faithful service if it 1 aid not roll up an old time majority 1 for Congressman Gardner. Ever since 1 this county became a part of the Sec- i - ond Congress district. Congressman 1 Gardner has looked after its interests j carefully. Bis efforts for our harbor snould win him the entire vote of this ( . city, if sentimental political leanings 1 were relegated to the background, and I actual service permitted to govern the 1 ' choice. j » - 1 Loyalty to the people's interests has t been a distinguishing characteristic of Senator Hand's fiom the beginning of 1 his public career and it is this which t has won him the confidence of the peo- j pie to a greater extent than ever en- i joyed by many men. And he deserves it and more. There is only once | in a great while a man who will devote himself to a public cause regardless of expenditure in money or time wnich it costs him and content so long as he achieves tbe things he sets out to do. It is only a few of his more intimate 0 friends, who know of the persistency f which Senator Hand exhibits in endeavoring to secure things for the F benefit of his county. He is simply d tireless and relentless in his pursuit of n them and would not give as much at- £ tention nor the same degree of persisto his own individual business, t Take the esise of the inland .waterway. I r may be some who think that the I first appropriation of $6000 in 1907 for 0 Just happened, but they are t wrong. It took days and nights of b time and ceaseless effort. The appropriation of .1908, of $300,000 to do the h work .was a still greater task though f Governor Fort was favorable to it ' The energy which ^secured it was the c energy of Senator Hand. It took weeks ciiciaj ui OCUALUI U1U1U. it LOOK WeeKS

Taylor, the well known shoe dealer of thii'dtjr, Uii • with a request for republication, the history dt a case of lockjaw, as published in tbe Scientific American of e August 28th, 1869. It is related by a 1 Major in the 10th TnHi.n. [Czvalty and - was an incident of his military camr paigna during the Civil War. It oci furred during the latter part of 1884. One of his men had been slightly wounded in the foot, but hardly seriously enough to go back to tha^neareat . hospital and as the command waa to go r into "Winter quarters, after a short j march, he concluded to press on with . ft. As a consequence . be took cold in I the wounded foot and tetanus, or , locked-jaw, set in. All of the sur- , geone and assistants of the command, , bad been left ,at various hospitals and ; tbe hospital steward, knowing nothing . better to do, had made arrangements to abandon the man as hopeless, to die at aN plantation. The Major casually learned his condition and resolved to try an experiment. His only resource ' was a plug of navy tobacco. He cut , off about 3 inches square of it, put it in a mess pan with boiling water and kept it there until it was heated through and saturated with water. He ihen took it out, allowed it to cool, so it would not blister, and then, flattening it out, placed it on tbe pit of the man's stomach. In about 5 minutes the patient turned white around the lips, which also began to twitch and in ; 9 or 10 minutes the rigid muscles relaxed and his Jaws fell open. 'It seemed as if the patient would fall apart acd go to pieces, so utterly was his entire muscular system relaxed. The tobacco was immediately removed and some whisky gruel was give* to stimulate him. Next day the man s -wu—iawi uiui. ncAi May tne man
