political Sews ; and comment E SOME POINTS ON CAMPAI6N I Opinions cf Newspapers ii Different sectiens of tie Ceu;try en National Contest Beats all how Bryan runs before the votes ate counted. Sena tor 'Colby, Republican, of Essex 1 r County, is defeated by Harry V. r Osborne, Democrat, by 423 votes. 1 The whole country rejoices at 1 Hughes' reelection as Governor of 1 t New York. "He is one of the Nation's ' , greatest men. « 1 1 r And Cannon is reelected. It is now 1 up to Gardner to vote for.his reelection j 1 as speaker. Who says "Uncle Joe" is 1 a bad man. f t The New Jersey House of Assembly will contain 45 Republicans and 16 j Democrats. The Senate will contain 18 Republicans and 8 Democrats I ' Gardner is reelected by a handsome ' plurality, considering the way he was hammered. It is a fine vote of confi- ] dence. Grubb did not carry a sii „le I county. Gardner's plurality is over 5,000. The unopposed renomination of Congressman Loudenslager was a splendid ■ testimonial of the esteem in whioh he i is held by the Republicans of Hie First ' District. At the conclusion of his present term Mr. Loudenslager will ! have served sixteen years in the House I of Representatives and the re-election 1 just accorded him will raise the total to eighteen— an ' unusual period of ser1 vice in any State and unprecedented in New Jersey. The leason is not far to seek. During his entire public career Mr. Loudenslager fift made it a point to giVe painstaking attention to the needs of his district and to do all that lay in hia power to please and promote the interests of hia constituents. He never fails to promptly respond to any inquiry of whatever

J nature, and no proper request that is ! within his power to grant it ever . denied. In this way he has made hims 'If very popular throughout his district— so poptilar that the Democrats have trouble in securing a candidate l to run against him. Br reason of his ' long experience and native ability, Mr. Loudenslager is now one of the inner circle of Congress, whose yea or nay practically means the success or failure of legislative measures. He is very close to the Speaker and exerts an inj fluence that Is equalled by few on the ■ floor of the House. HOLLY BEACH ROAD TO BE BUILT j State Superintendent of Roads !

A FAMILY SOCIAL AND REUNION EDMUNDS FAMILY ENJOY IT Mrs. Electa Ednoads Eijoys Conpaij of Her Children M Eightieth Birthday On Sunday, November 1st, last, MrsElects R: Edmonds, surrounded hy her children knd numerous relatives and friends, scored the triumph of victory over the onslaught of eighty years of the victor aod to all who tendered their affectionate congratulations health unimpaired and deep gratitude to God for his many rich mercies freely scattered along her entire pilgrimage, she continues the journey I with, vision undimmed and faith unI shaken. Age has its opportunities, no less Than youth itself, though in a different dress ; when the da^ight fades away, The sky is filled with stars, .Invisible by day.

k- — — ' — -5-* ••V MRS. ELECTA EDMUNDS 8 For one to have intelligently watched

T the magnificent development of the past century. The conquests of steam _ and electricity, the utilization of , forces in air, land and WBter, obliging e -then to vield-to the mastery of mpn 8 and labor in harmony with his will, , was to have witnessed struggles r greater than those of Thormopylae, y Waterloo or Gettysburg. How intere esting, therefore, is life to such an y observer, and this is but one of the . numerous opportunities to which refer - e ence is made in verse. The culmination of "Anniversary Day" in the Edmunds family, was reached at the Old Brica Church, 8 Who of the many who worshipped ' j there last Sabbath morning was hap- i e pier than the youngest of the octogen- 1 1 arians? For many years, she has 1 1 t faithfully labored for the preservation ! < of the most historic edifice in all South 1 1 , Jersey. To have seen it again, filled I , with its trimds, made beautiful by I s brush and strengthened in every part ' . for entrance upon new centuries of Christian service- with its motto, ! i "Christ Our Hope" painted afresh for < the eyes of its children and the chil- I dren yet unborn, was to bring to her ' . the experience of Simeon in the Temple 1 and permit her to see the Salvation c of the Lord. c 3 Among those who surrounded Mrs. c Edmunds at the home table in joyful t felicitations, were Dr. and Mrs. Mc- t Leod, Rev. Charles Colman, Edgar I Page Stitea. Sr.. Eli D. Edmunds, Mrs. ii ; Herbert W. Edmunnds and daughter | t | Georgie, N.JPerry Edmunds and wife, r • Charles H. Edmunds and wife, Frank s ■ D.

Miss Abbie e Orowell and Mrs. Nettie Chain. f Many congratulations by wire and j s mail were transmitted. Mr. and Mrs. j c Reuben Foster, of Baltimore, sent a® d beautiful bunch of chrysanthemums. { p At the dinner on Sunday, her son c Perry, speaking for his brothers and a sisters, presented to his mother a j tl sealed box which when opened, was ! p found to contain eighty dollars inld newlv minted gold. "Honor thy father and thy mother, j that" thy days may be long upon the n land which the Lord thy God giveth L thee." I M

j rest easy for four years more, in the j certainty that the Government at Washington will be attending vigorously to the business of safeguarding the interests of th^people of this great Republic and of extending its glory and power and beneficent influence, wherever the flag waves. The election of William Howard Taft, by so overwhelming a majority is an index to the sentiments of the great American people and a proof of their sagacity, i They can not be fooled by buncombe 3 and cheap oratory. They are looking 1 for ability and realize the necessity of f selecting substantia and wise men of t learning and achievement to represent 1 them in the functions of government. , The re-election of Gardner to Oonj gress shows that it requires something , more tnan misrepresentation, falsehood ■ and the screaming of invectives to 1 overturn the sober thought of the i voters in tbe lower tier of counties. . But Gen. Grubb "dearly loves a fight," he says ana there is nothing more to , be said. 1 The most signal expression of the will of the people has placed the govI ernment of the nation and State .firmly the hands of the Republican party. . Roosevelt policies are endorsed by this I I action and there is no doubt that the ! question "Shall the people rule" is j affirmatively answered. Details will ! ' j be found below ; ! CITY AND OTHER LOCAL ELECTIONS 1 The campaign for the city ticket was j ' lively one and resulted in the defeat 1 of the candidates on the Republican ] ticket for Freeholder and CounciL ' majority for Rodan, Democratic, for Freeholdfer was but 5. For Ooun- 1 cil it was mnch greater. The candi- j ' dates on the Republican t'eket, though j ' defeated, are happy for they recognize the fact that they are freed from a | great responsibility and will be re- , of much that is unpleasant, j The newly elected members will have j the opp.n tunity of discovering that no j | matter bow conscientiously they may i j ; seek to serve the public interests, tfiey I \ will be viciously criticised and their!, motives impugned constantly. They j also likely to find out that many I j of the yarns circulated for campaign effect, never had any foundation in Counoil alwaysjcatches it both j I going and coming, and the severest £ critics are usnally those who would t I with most pronounced emJ phasis, to serve in the position. We I congratulate Messrs. Suelke. Jacoby g and Gilbert on their success and hope j | may be able to do great things in j, pushing along Cape May to a glorious g I destiny. e j The city vote was as follows : 8 Freeholder, Douglass.

Imn Eldredge takes his first plunge in public matters as Assessor and is , likely to prove a good officer. Gilbert C. Hughes, who served as ( Assessor, aereral terms will now try to collect what tnejather fellow assesses. The vote in this city for Taft was ! 454 to 258 for Bryan, a Republican majority of 206. j Hon. John J. Gardner, for Conj gress, received 439 to Gen. Grubb's |268, a Republican majority of 171. | Hon. Corvsille E. Stille, Rep., for | Assembly, received 447 to Slaughter's 260, a Republican majority of 187.

INTERESTING NEWS -NOTES OCCOMENCES BERE ANBTBHtE I Iiciterts WUck lire Attracted tie itteitiM «f tke Stir ul tire The commission recently appointed by Governor Fort to nggost a law for the taxation of financial institution*. . will give a public bearing 00 Wadnwday, November 18th, at eleven o'clock, . A. M.. at tbe State House, Trenton, afforded tboae interested to express their views on the subject and di—™, any legislation that may be prefSsed. The commission desire that residing in the southern counties of the State who are interested in this matter will appear at that time. • • • Something should be done before Hallowe'en comes again to prevent the " throwing of flour and kindred annoyances. It is not fanny but simply barbarous. The same fun could be enjoyed by substituting confetti and no damage or discomfort ceased. Election day was ideal. Everybody said at dawn, "Its a Republican day." and sure enough it was. e» » Several places suffered .mare than usual this year from Hallowe'en outlawry and it is said that one grocery concern here sold between three and four birrels of flour for use in throwing on people on the streets. A number of people had flour thrown into their eyes and suffered considerably from it. This absurd boodlumiara * iu am itusuru ihxxii u UI1 am

should not be tolerated under any cir- * I comstances another year, ft •» « (• According to Henry W. Hoops, President of the National Confectioners' Association, people in tbe trade figure the average value of the finished product, at the factory, at 16 cents a pound, so that the estimate of $100,000,000 for the product this year would mean an output of approximately 667,000,000 pounds of candy, or nearly 8A4 pounds per annum for every man, woman and child in 'the United States. (• <s » Mrs. T. W. Millet, wife of Treasurerelect Millet, received several injuries by falling, Thursday morning. (• » <• The Star and Wave bulletin service, election night, .was appreciated very much by hundreds of people. Through the courtesy of the Delaware and Atlantic Telephone Company returns from all over the country .were received over a direct wire from Philadelphia, by a special receiving operae tor and transmitted to all inquirers by B mealis of two special phones installed for the purpose, City Treasurer-elect B Millet, taking care of this Oepartment. o The Eastern Telephone Company kindly transmitted immediately •bn s their receipt all their election news . apd Mr. William Briant, of this city, kiudly .took chatge oi this service and, . received and posted bulletins from this g source. Our service wad therefore unsurpassable. The telephone receiving ' r station was in the manager's office B and the bulletins were posted on a large bulletin board in the public _ office and all who desired were privil- . e«ed to occupy the public office and , keep track of the news. In addition Mr. Julius Denizot operated a lantern and by means of it returns were thrown on a screen for the public ac- - commoda'jon. Because of .these arrangements the StarBand Wave Office was a centre of interest from 8 p. m. . to 1 a. ni-, and the service was entirely , • satisfacory. By '9 o'clock there was every reasou to believe that Taft.waa elected. By 10 o'clock it was known ! as an absolute certainty. The news was known and displayed on the Star and Wave bulletins as quickly as in Philadelphia. The success achieved this year will encourage us to perfect our. arrangements for such service in the future.
