POLITICAL NEWS AND COMMENT

SENATOR HAND c THE COUNTY MAN 4 No county in New Jersey can Doast 4 of a representative in the Senate who 8 watches closer for anything that is of c to the welfare of his people ( than does Senator Robert E. Hand, of € May County. His advocacy of r for the benefit of the coast * counties is pronounced ; bis efforts tor 8 better roadi has borne good fruit, as ' recognizes that the highways of"a J county means much to the farmer*, in I conveniently and economically handling 4 product of the soil. The seashore ' resorts are the farmer's market during } the summer months, and a ready ac- c cess to these markets is the important 4 desired. The fishing industry of 4 Jersey'.!! one of its valuable as- 1 sets. Its waters are alive with sea 1 foods, and the friend of those who de- 1 pend on the bays and thoroughfares I and waters of the State for their liveli 4 hood is Senator Hand. Last of all 4 the measures which be has been in- r strumental in | bringing to light is the 6 one providing for the construction of ■ the Inland Waterway from Bay Head r to Cape May, now under way. This 4 waterway, when completed, will mean 1 more to the State and Cape May ® County than can be estimated. Sena- c Hand has siways been energetic c the interest Jof lour county and her 8 people and will be returned by the r large majority he deserves. — Cape May c Times. THE ASSESSOR IS NOT TO BLAME c Good Roads, Good Streets, { Good Schools, j Good Fire Department. Sufficient Water Supply. Efficient Sewer System, are necessary to a modern city but they cost money and the money has be raised by taxation. Whether , May is spending too much on the various items mentioned or not, is a ^ matter for discussion, but it has miles ( miles of good streets ; it has up- . date schools; it has a sufficient sup- ( ply of fine water, and all of the other ( items enumerated required by a city. ( | is getting considerable for its | money. Incidentally, it is much bet- ^ off financially and in equipment j ^ than any resort on the coast and its ( ' are lower in proportion, and in- ( ! cidi ntally, the Asse'sor has no in- ( whatever on these matters and ( not to blame for the amount of taxes f assessed any more than you are. The city's appropriations this year i ( so much in excess of th. se of last year that about $8000 more for city and bc-.ooI purposes was required to I ( assessed for 1909, than for 1908. In | , addition to this the state school tax ( required / somewhat higher than , in 1908 and county tax is also ( than io 1906. The duty of the , Assessor is to assess against the prop- . erties within his jurisdiction the t amounts of money which the govern- ( bodies of city snd 'county declare , to be necessary and the state school j which is a fixed percentage of the , assessed valuation. He baa no control whatever over these amounts and is therefore not to blame whether taxes , be higher or lower or remain the same. , It is believed that assessed values : of real estate in this city this year : l are thoroughly fair and equitable which . 1 the commission consisting of F. Sidney I Townsend sod Samuel F. Eldredge, i witn the assessor, strove to m-ke them. 1 The campaign for the election pf lro- ' portant officers is closed and the election will occur on Tuesday. Senator ' Robert EL Hand, "who was nominated 1 on the Republican ticket by such a magnificent majority, (appeals to the

county a* the most eligible candidate the State Senate, has shown his by his works. The opinion held and voiced by the most progressive citizens, is that he has done more for Cape May.. County, than any man who held the office, ana is'able to represent the county in the future as effectively as in the past. This is a . summing-up of the situation which all who have watched his remarkable : work will aocept as just. | His opponent is Evans "G. Slaughof Wildwood, the Democratic and local optionist candidate. He ran last < year as a candidate for the Assembly the Democratic ticket and was de- 1 feated by the Republican candidate, Oorsville £. Stille, by a plurality of 1124. He pledged himself in his campaign for the Assembly to the j. Frank : Burke brand of. local option and be is pledged to this this year as ^candidate j 1 the State Senate but has cautioned j Philadelphia newspaper men not to mention this in speaking of his candi- , dacy. They have heeded his caution well that no reference has been i made in any newspaper of his local option pledge. This "dodging" on an important feature of his campaign does not appeal strongly to any class of people. It smacks ^too much of a disposition to promise anything to secure support, but gives no promise of fulfilling his pledges if the miracle of his election should occur. A. Carlton Hildreth, candidate for Clerk on the Republican ticket, is one of the ablest men in this county in clerical work and the executive management of important office work. He is a man of education and culture, ' widely read and well informed. He is familiar with the county in all its parts and few men are better known to its people than he. Proof ot his ability is found in his career in the U. i Internal Office which be entered in j a subordinate capacity but gradually in rank until he ^became chief clerk with a comprehensive and sure j and grasp of all of the in- j tncacies of the^vast business of this j office. Like^many another son of our dear old county, he prefers residing I permanently and still holds his I on the ancestral acres at Rio | I upon .which his forbears have ! lived for many generations. Cape May ! is fortunate in having at her ! disposal a man for the important posi- 1 tion of County Clerk, so preeminently al le to manage its important business | ! properly and satisfactorily. He should ! | be supported at the election. ' Christopher S. Hand, of Tuckahoe, ! candidate for Assembly on the Repub I lican ticket will receive the vote of a great many people in all sections of county. He has been a popular conductor on the Reading Railroad for j about twelve years and was born at j and has resided there the 1 larger part of his life. He was a resi- j dent in this city for a short time a few years ago snd ia well and favorably I known here. He resided at Atlantic City as a boy and ia a graduate of At- | lantic City High School. Helhas been very active in pushing Tuckahoe to the front and is 'president of the Gas Company and interested in several real estate projects I there. He is also interested in business enterprises at Ocean City. He is one of the most energetic young men in the county and will carry his enthusiasm and energy into the campaign and into the legislature. if the verdict at the election ia satisfactory. His family is one of the pioneer families of the county. I Senator Hand has proven his loyalty i to the interests of Oape May County a i thousand times and the people heve

implicit confidence in his unswerving attention to duty as a representative for Oape May Coonty. The election of candidates for State Senate, Asssml*. County Clerk and i Coroner occurs Tuesday next, November Sd. D.i not fail to gel to the mils and vbte the Republican ticket which j stands for honesty snd progress, economy and the public welfare.
