FIFTEEN YEARS AGO J . It was stated at Court House at the | I Democratic mass meeting that expendi- ) tares of the State government under Republican nfle today is four times greater than it was unde- Democratic rule fifteen years ago. This is not true, j of course. You could not expect that. facta are that the expenditures are about twice as great. But — fifteen years ago there was ; scarcely a good road in this county. Today there are the finest roads in the country, built by state aid. in all sections of the county. Fifteen years ago those who enjoyed the sounds had to be content with tortuous channels and , every inconvenience. Now the state ia constructing a great inland waterway system, which will be a benefit to pleasure seekers and create a commerce , of great value and importance among all the resorts. Fifteen years ago the . state apportioned to Cape May County for school purposes each year, about , 316,000. ' Today the state's apportion- ' i ments are over 807,000. Fifteen years . ago, under Democratic rule, there waa ■ imminent danger of a State tax, because of the thievery and general extravagance of the Democratic State Government and it waa seriously proposed by • Democratic leaders to divert a part of ' the State's school funds into the general treasury. Today there ia $1,000,000 surplus in the State treasury. Fifteen years ago. Democratic statesmen were spend - > ing their time manipulating a coal combine law to permit coa! carrying com - panics to unite and fleece the people, and thousands of dollars went into the 1 pockets of Democratic legislators to push the thing through. These "reprear entotives" were hanged in effigy in dif- , f exeat sections of the State. Since the Republicans have been in control of the state, there has not been a single scandal nor a single charge of . bribery in connection with any legislation, whatever. It was an every year j, occurrence under Democratic rule. t Fifteen yesrs ago, railroads and other . corporations, race track magnates and t vicious influences generally, controlled [j -under the Democratic state government r and the railroads and corporations paid „ the mere pretense of tax. Today vice j j, is no longer dominant and railroad and ' a other corporations pay their adequate share of the taxes, supporting the State Government and all of its varied activi

ties and contributing thousands directly to the various municipalities throughout | ^ state. Fifteen years age Cape | ^ County's total assessed valua- i ^ tion was 84,000.000 to $5,000,000. j ^ And today it is nearly 825,000. , ^ Fifteen years ago the State's pop- [ ulatkm was not over one-half what it is j ^ today. So yon see. reverend sirs and . brothers, that none but the most pitiful j would stand up before iutel- I ligent people and clqim that an increase ' ^ in the State's expenditures in fifteen ; years betokened corruption unless they j ^ had incontrovertible proofs to offer. ; You have noticed, however, that no . ^ proofs are considered necessary in Prof, j Wilson's teachings upon state conditions. ^ He has had no contact with State af- , and knows nothing of them, but is 1 ^ still willing to speak dogmatically with- j out data, upon them, casting aspersions j f in all directions. It wilfbe remembered, I ^ also, that precisely the same people who ^ shaped the Democratic- policy in this | ^ state fifteen years ago are shaping it j ^ today. € BUILDS CONCRETE HOUSE One of our moat public spirited citi- 1 tens is Mr. Julius Denirot, of South j 1 Broadway. He Is just now completing 1 the erection of a beautiful cement cot- 8 tage on Broadway near the ocean. He will soon begin work on the second ' cottage adjoining this, with the same ' material. We are pleased to note this 1 ' new introduction of a fine specimen of cement work of an entire building.Therc 1 " is no doubt many others will follow 1 u until it will, under prevailing high prices ' and rapid diminution of lumber noi * many yearn hence become the leading * building material and for our best ' improvements. One eeonomic feature worthy of consideration for seashore homes, is the great saving of expense in t dwellings, where the salt air is particularly trying. Therefore we hasten to n commend Mr. Denirot as the pioneer at i- this resort while we congratulate the i- community on his step forward here in this new building reform which worthily places him on the list of real progressives. The contractor is Robert Denny. POSITION WANTED e Married man wishes permanent position, clerical or otherwise. Highest testimonials. Address "A" Star and Wave r Office. "

SENATE CANDIDATES We are quite sure that Republican members o ' the legislature are not apt to object seriously to the method of selecting candidates for the United States Senate by popular vote at the primaries. 1 It relieves them of a great responsibility w hich the voters assume and if a United States 8enator, selected in this wsy, of- ' fends his constituents there is no screen between him and them. In the recent contest on the Republican side, it is sig1 uificant that Edward Caspar Stokes, the ' South Jersey candidate, received the majority of votes over both North Jersey 1 candidates, Murphy and Fowler. 1 Another noticeable feature about this first attempt in this state to select a 1 United States Senator by popular vote is that Republicans are raising no ques- ' tion about results, but on the Democratic side any leading Democrat would look ^ upon any man as weak in the head, who would -suggest that Martine, who rereived the largest number of votes for 8 the Democratic nomination for United 1 States Senator, would receive any consid9 oration from a Democratic legislature, if one were elected The only candidate on ' the Democratic slate for United States * .Senator is James Smith, Jr., and there is no pretense of any other. n "

MAN MUST DO THE COURT VF / No man or aet of men unices they V comprised a majority of all the voter* of either party, ean name a candidate or foist him upon the people, under the direct primary system. The statements which are being made about the two sheriff candidates, that they were se ( lee tod, the Republican candidate by a few men troa different sections of the county this fall, and the Democratic candidate, a year or eo age by two or three Cape May leaders, are not worthy of any attention. In the cane of (he Republican 1 , candidate, he secured the majority of the 1 Republican votes cast, at the primaries, ] after" an fair and courteous a political i , battle, .though a severe one, aa ever oc- 1 curred in this county. There was ab- ( solutedy nothing to hinder voter* from 1 expressing their preferences. If there i i were other aspirants for the Republican < nomination there waa no power on earth ' I to hinder any one from entering into the < : contest and appealing to the people, the ] . only arbiters in the whole thing, and < winning out if possible. In the Democratic primaries, there was ( » no opposition but there i* no reason why ( i there shouldn't have been if there were j any aspirants because the way waa open - to any other Democratic aspirant who b saw fit to make the effort. i. If there are people who think that r nominations 2nd election to office are i handed around arbitrarily to selected - people by some hidden power they should i; get over it. In matters of this kind aa t well as in all ethers in this world, the - man who wants things must let it e be known and get -busy about - it. His success or failure depends Y altogether upon himself. If he hasn't initiative or energy enough to look after a his own ambitions, there is nobody to do a it for him. The office does not seek the e man once in a hundred thousand times i- and it shouldn't. It is up to the man c to do the eourtin'. k o CAPE MAYANS LIKE WATER !- Chief Engineer of the Water Works, ir F._C. B. Speace, claims that daily water d consumption of Cape May nearly reaches I- the million gallon maris, if * MAURICE RIVER TO BE DREDGED • The engineers of the War Department are now making arangements to expend 825,000 appropriated by Congress for the dredging of Maurice River. The river has not been dredged for nearly 20 ®

and the water is so shallow that ^ barges have great difficulty in reaching Millville manufacturing plants. e ' 01: GARDNER GOING BACK Congressman Gardner will be returned Co by the voters of the Second CongressDistrict to represent them in the House of the next National Legislature. There are so many reasons why he is the logical man for the place and so few arguments against his return the question is, so to speak, "not debatable." Aside from the general opposition naturally to be exepcted rom CI the Democrats, there have been thos who claim that "somebody else should a chance." Mighty poor business, O this giving over such an important post an untped and virtually unknown j quantity. Barring the few intimate I D friends of the minority party candidate j who managed to scare up a corporal's pi guard to greet and meet him, Gardner's je opponent is practically unknown in this 0| county. A news Rem in the dailies ap- „ prised the residents of the fact that he f{ had been here to make a campaign ad- j, They did not have any previous f, knowledge of his coming nor would the have known him had he trav- j] creed these streets. Congressman Gardner u is known personally by fully ninety per w cent, of his constituents. He is known j, among his close friends as a profound thinker, a hard worker for the best interests of the district be represents and j always fully alive to the great issues which concern th national welfare of the country. The handsome postoCfice j building in" this city stands „s a monu- e j ment to his untiring efforts in behalf of j home town. Few cities of the sire j and population have such a magnificent ( Federal structure. His experience on i committees of Congress are a valuable asset to the welfare of this and the other j. counties he has so ably represented at i Washington during the past. John J. j Gardner is a scholar, a statesman, a t ( thinker, a diplomat, a native Jeraeyman . with a generous heart, and fully conver- ! sant with all things that concern the Second District at the nation's capitalAtlantic Review. < — i JUST RECEIVED 1 A new stock of oil cloth, linoleum and • ptove boards.

Lodge Officers present sad MayOn Friday evening of last week tfca '-1 Mayflower Lodge, No. 258, entertained n Meeting to consider questions ci peculiar interest to Odd Fellows. Tke • 3 meeting was called by the District .F C. B. Speace, by authority of the Grand Master. In spite of the fact that the night wna stormy each of Mm following lodges which constitute the district No. 81 were well repreeeated: | Tuckahoe No. 67, Hereford No. W, Gape May Court House), Holly Bcaah 120, Mayflower, No. 258, (Gape Ma J City). Autumn, No. 261, (Goshen). Business of the greatest interest to Odd Fellows was considered. This order at the present claims to be the largest In the world and Its membership exceed* 2,000/100 and it ti their ambition to ■ muster 3,000/100 members by the time of their one hundredth anniversary, which will occur in 1019, and it ti safe to i say that if each of the two mllion mem bere put forth the same amount of effort 1 as do the members of this district, they i will accomplish their aim and consider i able more. After this interesting mest- ■ ing the body moved 'to the AUditorium ; Cafe, where covers had been laid for ' their enjoyment. The after dinner 1 speakers and their subjects were as ' follows: > "What Has Odd Fellowship to Offer," > Rex-. B. A . Bowers; "Friendship," Samuel « F. Eldredge; "Love," Rev. T. A.
