SOME NEWS I ANDCOMMENT ! BREEZY OPINIONS INI NEWS - ■teas fatten* hy Stir u) 1 Vire Reperters aid Ceaseit Cirreit Ereits Senator Robert E. Hand, Candida tef or- the- Assembly, Christopher S. I and Candida te-for-Coanty -Clerk, ' A. Carlton Hildreth, are not connected 6 by any tie* of blood relationship whatever. Mr. Hildreth is a brother-in- 4 to Senator Hand, but excepting c for this legal tie there are no men in 4 the county who are farther from being ' related than these two. It is more or 4 leas unusual for brothers-in-law to c agree in politics and if Senator Hand 4 and Mr. Hildreth are in accord, it ia 1 rather in spite of their brother-in-law- ^ ship than because of it and probably ( because of . the. amiable dispositions 4 which both are celebrated for. As for c Christopher Hand, candidate for Aa- 4 sembly, there ia no tie of relationship in a remote. degree .between him and Senator Hand. Tne same thing is ■ of Aaron W. Hand, member of the c County Tax Board. The three men f move in three distinct orbits and have i common thefsame surname for which I they (are in no wise to blame. It will I hardly do to insist that men who have i the same surnames must not ssociate < with each other politically or other- I Incidentally, however, the re- C cords in public office in this county, of t men who have borne the name of a Hand, will compare favorably with e those of any other men of any other t wbo have ever had the same f They have.been energetic, en- o terprising, progressive, loyal to the c county's interests and insistent in ad- t vancing them. Senator .Hand's un- fc swerving and indefatigable efforts f been so comprehensive and effec- 1 tive that the best that his opponents a have to offer aa a platform, is that / they will endeavor to follow in his p footsteps and emulate his example. r « O « . It is a peculiar thing about Senator * political career, that moat of the opposition he meets with comes n j from men who have received desirable 4 appointments from him and.from those 8 who have received courtesies and at- J? tentions which one would have thought 4 normal people would appreciate. The £ strange thing about it is that these 4 men should become so venomous, so fer- 1 tile and deliberate in the invention of P and in reviling a man, whose chief P fault is in having endeavored to treat 4 them with friendship. A great states- 8 of France once said "For almost C appointment I give out I get one d and a hundred enemies.

Probably v than six hundred votes were polled c in this county. The .result, however, is an expression of the will of (be people, lor sentiment is overwnelmingly against alterations in the fundamental •' law.

SENATOR HAND AND OTHER CANDIDATES aspirants for nomination fw tie tofie's Sirpart if tie CuAifetes Wta ire Naned The Camden Poet-Telegram recently published the following interesting 1stfrom Caps May on the political situation: Cape May City. N. J.. Sept. 4.-Now that the summer season is practically at this famous old watering place the natives here are beginning to take active interest in the political situaand the fact that a Senator, Assemblyman and County Clerk are to elected tins fall makes the approachelection a most important one interest throughout the entire county is intense and the greatest activity is being displayed by the workers of tbe Republican party who are confident that they will win out In the on teat. Tbe regular true bhie Republicans unanimous in their choice of candidates and at the primary election on 28 will support for renomination tneir stalwart leader, Senator E. Hand, wbo has done more for the upbuilding of Cape May County in the past decade than any other one For years Senator Hand has been a potent factor in Cape rMay politics and the present indicaare that be will he renominated and reelected by a larger majority than given him before. Hia bluff but manner has endeared him to his along the shore and through out tbe country districts and bis successful efforts to secure legislation beneficial to this section of tbe State won him many warm aamirers and during the past few years. word of Senator "Bob " Hand ia good aa bis bond and those .whom Lincoln lovingly called tbe plain people delight to honor such a representative. $300, 0C3 FOR INLAND WATERWAY One of the most notable achievements of Senator Hand during bis legislative career was the securing of an , appropriation of $300,000 for the im- , provement of the Inland Waterways ] between Oape May and Bay Head. , handed and alone almost he j this important measure , rough tbe Legislature and when tbe j project is completed it cannot but help | prove of incalculable benefit to the , thousands of people who reside in the , shore counties along tbe Atlantic ( and wbo depend upon tbe pro- , of that section for their liveliThe new channel will also be a ( great benefit to fishermen, yachtsmen , and gunners, especially during the spring, (summer and fall seasons and , such sportsmen as (well as the natives oTe enthualastically booming the cam- . paign of Senator Hand because they , desire him continued in a position in \ which he can do so much for this ; community. AN INFLUENTIAL SENATUR < The lengthy service of Senator Hand in tbe legislative halls has made him : influential member of the Senate. . While he does not pose .as,an orator,]1 when he addresses his colleagues in 1 sentences, full ot meaning and common sense, he he is most attentively listened to and his remarks; always 1 carry weight because they are convinciSenator Hand id a successful busi- ' man, wbo bas fought bis way to ' the top by sheer force of character and ' merit and his one object in life seems ' be the advancement of the interests ' of Cape May .County and her residents. ' He has had no smalLpart . in the up- ' building of this section and confidently ' predicts that in the near future tbe ' summer resorts of Cape May County ' will be among the leading ones of tbe ' world. He says we have th6 natural ' advantages here and that.they will be ' more fully when tbe railroad ' officials awake to the possibilities and ' provide transportation facilities that ' will attract tbe people of the great oities to this highly-favored section. CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY ] With Senator Hand aa their leader . the regular Republicans will also en- , dorse tbe candidacy of Christopher of Tuckaboe, forjA seem bly man. . latter is no relation to tbe candidate for State Senator, but is equally . popular. He ia a conductor on the Reading Railroad and the president of , the stalwart Republican Club of his .

borne town. The friends of Gooductor Christopher Hand are legion sad they , siasrt thai he will make a moat credit- | able representative for Old Oape May ' County in tbe House of Assembly next Winter. I THE CANDIDATE FOR OOUNTY CLERK Aa a running mate for Oounty , Clerk there will be Carlton Hildreth. tbe present chairman of the Republi- 1 can County Executive Committee. 1 Mr. Hildreth is well and favorably j known throughout tbe oounty and his : management of past campaigns stamps j him as possessing ability of a high ■ order. It would .be a hard matter for 1 the Republicans to select a stronger or more popular ticket than the above and . ' the prediction is freely made that they ' will win 'he nominations they seek by ■ an overwhelming majority. , 8 AS TO THE OPPOSITION ! Naturally there is some opposition to ; j the renomination of Senator Hand. Every successful man in the discharge 1 of his duties makes enemies and is 5 obliged to disappoint those whose chief 1 | object in life is the seeking of sinecures 1 s in the, aha pe of political appointments. ' These disgruntled Republicans are now ' , opposing the renomination of Senator ■ Hand and have brought out aa their 1 , candidate for State Senator former ' Sheriff Bright. But they are hardly making a ripple on the surface of the 1 political sea aa the regular Republicans >( " remember only too well -tfaat three • years ago that it waa openly charged ' that the man who had been honored by 1 _ hia party with the highest office in the ' county aided materially in promoting ' the interests of the Democrats and ' actually voted their ticket. And Oape , " May.(3ounty. Republicans have no room i ^ in their ranks for ingrates. • | ECHOES OF BASE BAtL ; ' eiFTS TO PLAYERS AND OTHERS ; Imrt of fames ui Resells lor Entire Season Showing the Ma ny Victories In the long base ball history of Oape May .here has never been a season 1 when the enthusiasm has been greater and the results more gratifying. Tbe ' fans have given tangible expres- < sion to their interest by contributing I '■ to support the game and also ' 1 to mementoes (which have been given ' 1 players. We cited last week, gifts of • 1 beautiful silver .cups, balls and bats ' ! and other trophies to Various players 1 1 and this week we call attention to Uie 1 : great liberality oi John McOann, of 1 ' the Auditorium who presented. to Louis ' Machado an expensive and very prejty 1 silver and cut glass electrolier for the ' 1 study table, which is worth about $60. 1 Harry Johns for .the interest be ' 1 showed in assisting was presented with 1 1 a handsome umbrella by ,a number of 1 ' friends And a movement ,is on foot to 1 present suits be mementoes as a token ' ' of appreciation (to Charles Brownmil- ' I wno bore the brunt of the whole 1 thing and practically devoted his entire ' time during tbe. summer to base ball. < I I Earnest W.

TROY LAUNDRY, 4 ! tf 10 Decatur street, p n THE MODEL JERSEY » MRS ALICE MACKISSIC n When I was asked to speak on the n "Model Jersey" I was left to draw my c inference as to what my real sub- 4 ject was to be— whether an article of 4 knitted goods called the "Jersey," the 0 "model" Jersey mosquito, the "model" Jersey cow, or the "model" commonwealth, which we all love and which n plays such an important part in our ii nation's history and in the agricultural p world today. In order that I might not b caught napping if any particular h "Jersey" should be called for today, I 8 have tried to furnish myself with in- h formation regarding each particular L kind which we have mentioned, and I tl find if we ladies have the time and o talent at our disposal and.wish to knit 1« or crochet a "jersey" that the tag on b every skein of the best yarn made b the name of "Fleisher," al- n thougn I, have always heard that Abra- d Lincoln was second to none as a r< dealer in yarns. Fieisher's yarns, b have an .even, lofty, elastic fi thread, are carefully spun, a .full line e of colors may always be matched, and tl article made of them will always e hold its shape and yet be soft and ti elastic. Or, if we should wish to pur- 4 chase one ready made a very gocd arti- * cle for either sex may be had from tive T I dollars up, and perhaps cheaper. |THE MODEL JERSEY MOSQUITO | A I The "model" Jersey mosquito has j I been attracting considerable attention ^ j of late on account of his character and _ j habits. The White-banded salt marsh mosquito, tbe Daylight, tbe Big Wood, ^ the Fringe Legged, the Spotted and the specie known as the Irritating Mosquito are only a few of 44 many varieties known along our shores. Mr. John Mellor .in a report '*■ made for the State Experiment Colsays that the territory north of A Creek abounds In a great many 44 breeding places. Systematic war T been waged against tbe mosquito, but;tbe model Jersey breed refuses to h be exterminated. THE MODEL JERSEY OOW T Tbe most of you will not be surprised at my predilection . in favor of Jersey F The model Jersey cow is almost F human In its loveliness and intelli- T gence. She has large, broadjipen ribs, bones are high, and well cnt out, ia 0 deep bodied and gives an average a yield .of thirty pounds of milk daily. 0 To all those wbo have not done so 1 A would extend a most hearty invitation

to visit oar model Jersey*, at the Oape Farmstead. OUR BELOVED STATE; And lastly, bat not least, by any means, comes oar great Stat* of .New Jersey. The early history of New Jersey, and tbe important part &at the colony took ' In the war for independence, need not be reviewed to you. It ie-the present that interest as most Jersey is booming. JNsw^Jersey boand to boom. If Now York, with its seething, teeming herds of hustling industrious people, crowded to the limit, is tbe front door of oar United States, then New Jessey has a wide vestibule or hallway with two doors swinging Jeraeyward, offering resistance and many inducement* those entering. We;have the same to Philadelphia and more to both cities prospect Tbe McAdoo terminal and tbe ferries from JNew York City |to City, the proposed tunnel under Delaware River and the (several and tbe Pennsylvania Railroad ;ovar it from Philadelphia, all act to overcome resistance. The troland steam railroads, ever increasand branohing oat from those exists on the Jersey side, is cheapening transportation to oar .sabarfaa, oar seashore and mountain resorts, and oar communities. Come to say of tbe cities of oar State in search of a home, and you will find good water, good trolley service and good evaryhing that goes to make a good borne in city; want beautiful mountain scenery, lovely hills, Makes, (meadows, majesty of tbe sea with its balmy, breezes, corns .to New Jersey. New Jersey's oqaan bathed shore Sandy Hook to Cape May Point invites you. Fortunes (await del vera Jersey sands, her days, rocks, gravel, her loam, all are treasure stored inviting capital and industry to come. God made a wonderful State, when be made.New Jersey and did not from the divine idea of providing sustenance to all of our creatures, man need not want for shelter or food, or any necessity of life. New Jersey's farm products are not to be out classed any whree. Her rich glands produce most luscious fruit, which tempts the appetite, and satisfy the taste of tbe most fastidious of her people. Her sweet potatoes and water melons, aand all kinds of berries are sought, and command best prices in markets wherever offered. Her buckwheat cakes and Jersey sausage, those cakes and pumpkin pies, all these blessings and many more tend to make New J erseyja model state. BROTHER PATRON, SENATOR HAND We are not forgetting the while, our coast boulevard proposition, and inland waterway which our brother patron, Senator ;Hand, is so earnestly up. We are proud of tbe posithat our State occupies in being able to boast of more miles of improved than any other state in tbe and we are justifiably proud of important part that ourjmagnificent order, spurred on by the efficient leadership that we have been able to for nearly a decade of years, has taken in this matter. We are ever mindful of the fact that all of the arsupporters and promoters of good roads, are not to be lound within the boundanea of the Grange, but whether the banks of the Raritan or.where e'er they may hail, we are proud of the work they have done.
