GARDNER AND f TBE HARBOR ) "CAPE MAY? 600D FRIEND' i A Seaskwe Mu Win Knows the Needs of Oir Section ud Studs Up For it t _ Ab we suggested last week every s voter in Cape May who values faithful . service on the part of pablic officials : will vot^to return to Oongt-ees -John J. , Gardner. Under the moet difficult oon1 ditiona, urged to oppose it by his most I Umate^friends, Congressman G a rds i.er stood by Cape May's harbor at i every stage of the game and was a r most ootent influence in obtaining the l appropriation of $1,200,009 from the . national treasury for its development. l It was Congressman Gardner whose i eeche# carried conviction on the harr question because as a seafaring I man in his younger dayB, he kn?w the : gr.eat need of a harbor of refuge on this •Joast If you desire to be loyal to . Cape May's interests yon should vote i for "Cape Mav County's good Friend" I for Congress, Hon. John J. Gardner. , Our harbor improvement is as vali uable to Holly Beach and all the Wild- ; woods as to ns. It is as valuable lo ■ the interior of the county as to the t beaches. It is valuable to Ocean City : and Sea Isle City in directing atten- ! lion to the great possibilities of the sea coast. In short Cape May County , should discard political sentimentality and vote for Gardner, the friend and supporter of the seacoast, a seashore who knows our needs. ^Tbe great development which Gardner has made possible in Cape May County by securing the harbor appropriation, means business and prosperity to every man owning property or doing business in Cape May Conuty. Let all vote for Gardner and show practical common sense and fin apjireciative gratitude.1 WESTCAPEMAY
