JOHN J. GARDNER' RECORD Atlantic City, Get. 12.— Political now seem to indicate that the Hon. John J. Gardner, who has represented the Second Congressional Disin the National Legislature for the last eighteen years, will be elected to succeed himself for the tenth term by a larger majority ' in the coming election than he has had for the last few terms. the passage of the postal savings bank law, which was a pet measure and has gained a large number of friends among the working and laboring classes and there is not the slightest doubt but will poll a big vote. Efforts have been made by some of ths labor leaders to secure s candidate to against Mr. Gardner because of certain acta of his in connection with the eight boar bill which is pending inConMr. Gardner drew the original and submitted it to the labor leaden for their approval. They have amended to such an extent that it is now but s heterogenous conglomeration of nothings and there is no possible chanee of its passed. Mr. Gardner has always been s friend labor. He stands ready to serve hii constituents in any way possible. But, quite naturally, he is opposed, at chairof the committee on labor of Conto reporting s bill which is clearly unconstitutional and which is in such shape that it would have not the slight est chance of passage. He is now engaged in the formation of another bill that will be broader in scope than the original measure be drew, and which

- IH HON. JOHN J. GARDNER

will incorporate the salient features of the amendments that have been offered by the laber leaders. This he will have ready to be presented at the next sessoin of Congress. He is reasonably certain itwill meet with the approbation if the laboring classes generally. John J. Gardner is so well known that needs no introduction to the people of the Second Congressional District admirers are numbered by the thoua ands, men of humble occupations and of prosperous business; unlearned and men of culture; men who guide great affairs with the' might of their and men who earn their daily with the sweat of their brows. is an humble man and understands tli£ humble. He has earned his bread with the labor of his hands, and therefore he sympathizes with labor. He is trusted of men becaus he never betrayed a confidence imposed in him. Faetionists seek to blind people and make them forget bis boyish daring in the Civil War. and darken the brilliance of his sagacity in Congress. His critics are blinded by the glare of their own political ambitions. The people are not ungrateful, however, and the magnificent manner ir which the people of the Sec- 1 ond Congresional District have delighted to honor John J. Gardner reflects credit upon their patriotism and is a shining example to other communities of lesser intelligence. Mr. Gardner was born in Atlantic County in 1845, and aa * boy became familiar with the bays and inlets of the coast. He remained in Atlantic County < until he was sixteen years old. Then j came the war and be enlisted in the Sixth New Jersey Infantry. He was j severely wounded at Chancellorsville. j went through the four years of the war., and after being mustered out came back to Atlantic City and took a position as a hotel clerk. He saved his money and later went to the University of Michigan. He worked his way for I three years through that institution and j then came back to New Jersey. He was -Aderman. Mayor and later a ' there, and in 1878 was sent ; to the Senat*. He represented the ! county in the Senate until 1892, when he < was elected to Congress. He has been a farmer for twentyI 1

seven years ana is proud 'of his sobri quet of "The Farmer Statesman." ' flsgressman Gardner drew the bill to 1 interdict the interstate transportation i ' of prison-made goods. He is the creator i ' o: the bill now on the House calendar to i • prevent government officials from eon- j ■ trading for prison-made goods. He also s f made the draft of the Postal Savings i Bank bill, which became a law with prac- | I tically no change from his original draft. - Thia bill would be sufficient for the life ] I work of an ordinary man. Its operations are so simple that the farmer, the i 1 mechanic and the laborer can save from 1 his wages w ith but a minimum of effort < ' and have our great government guaran , r tee him interest and principal on every ' penny of the fruits of his toil. , The Second District has abundant < ' reason to be proud of the spirited Amer- ] 1 ican they hare chosen to Berve them, , i ' and there seems to be not the slightest ] . * doubt but lie will again be selected to , ' represent his district by a large , majority. : -

LEWIS IS THE BETTER LOOKING The blindest paitisan must agree that the Republican candidate for Governor } Vivian M. Lewis, has much the handsomer face and also the most forceful | The pictures of Dr. Wilson give the impression of an ascetic dyspeptic , who would be apt to be very much aloof under normal conditions. . Lewis, on ] the other hand, looks like a man whom the average man would meet with j pleasure and who would meet the' average man cordially under any circum- , stance... If the ladies had any voting t o do, it is a safe wager that Lewis t would get them all. He looks so human. He looks as though he would be ( good to children or to the defenseless as well as to the big people. i

Education.' 1 In hia Atlantic City address Dr. Wil i | son, after complimenting his opponent. * j Lewis, on the fact that he was iqore ' progressive than his party platform, said t "So I have experienced a sense of relief, ' therefore, in finding that there is no t issue between Mr. Lewis and myself, i This eliminate" personal considerations. have nothing in any circumstances ex- t ] cept what is complimentary to say about i Mr. Lewis and personal consideration S I would, so far as I am concerned, never c j enter into any case, but I mean that e there appears to be no personal issue « ! me and the Republican party t in respect to the sort of legislation we t j would desire to see adopted in New J ef- j I sey." Such being the case, what reason " or incentive can there be for any Repub- v to rote for Dr. Wilson! And o j yet Dr. Wilson's campaign managers ad t mit that he cannot be elected without r j votes. p

TWO PRETTY HOSE WEDDING'S Miss Rebecca Mecray Ganefly, daughter of Contractor ana Mrs. William W. Cassedy, and Mr. J. Harvey Bennett, son of Pilot and Mrs. Judaon D. Bennett, all of Oape May, were united in marriage Wednesday noon but, at the home of the bride's parents, on Decatur street, the Rev. Dr. James MpLeod, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, officiating. The event was one of the most beautiful home weddings whieh has ever occurred at this city. Both of the contracting parties are from old and very popular Oape May families. At the hour of twelve, Caroline Hand, an accomplished pianist, rendered the bridal chorus from Lohengrin in a manner which would have been gratifying to the author of this famous selection. This was followed by the ever popular masterpiece by Mendelssohn. The bride was escorted by her father to the mammoth bank of palms where the ceremony was performed. The maid of honor was Mis* Ems Yarn ell, of Ardmore, while Walter L.Bennett, brother of the groom, acted as best man. Masters Frederick Melvin . Williams and Virgil M. D. Marcy, Jr., both cousins of the bride, acted well their parts as ribbon bearers. Miss Cassedy looked exceedingly charming (as usual) attired in white liberty satin, trimmed with chantilly lace. She also wore a veil and orange blossoms and carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and lillies of the valley, and an exquisite pearl pennant of unusual design, a gift of the groom. Miss Yarnall * was most becomingly gowned in gold and white, pineapple cloth, veiled with marquissctte and carried white chrysanthemums. Miss Caroline Hand wore a handsome creation of chiffon cloth over silk and carried yellow roses. The bride's mother was richly gowned in black crepe dc chine with yoke and under sleeves of silk lace. The decorations consisted of autuini leaves aud beaujiful yellow flowers of several varieties, which were most artistically arranged under the able diContlnued on Fifth i-ace ABOUT RAILROAD TAXES The tax upon railroad property in the of New Jersey is levied in the following manner The main stem and appurtenances are aaessed by the State ( of Assessors and the tax collecetd State authorities for State disbursement. Most of this is apportioned to the various counties for school purposes. Cape May County receiving at the last apportionment of this fund $29,582.92. Second class railroad property, including trackage and appurtenances, not included the main stem, is asessed by the State Board of Assessors, but the rate of taxation is that which prevails locally, in each municipality hi which the property found and the money collected is sent the municipul authorities. Other property not used for railroad purposes taxed by the local assessors under the same conditions as prevail with property owned by individuals in the same mum- . cipality. The legislation which has arranged this method of taxing railroad property is Republican legislation and it has proven fair to railroad and to the people at large. For a time local assessors assessed second class railroad property but this power was finally placed with tlio State Board of Assessors and comparisons, in this county, of assessments made by the local assessors with those made by the State Board of Assessors disclosed the fact that the local assessments were almost invaroably lower than those of the State Board of Assessors.- The allotment of main stem tax colected by the State for school purposes for the present school year is $2,426,930.81. The amount paid the numerous municipalities of the from second class railroad property would amount to several milliona It will thus be seen that millions of dollars ^are thus obtained for the pay ment of local expenses throughout the while railroad tax and tax on corporations generally pay the entire expenses of the State and leaves a handsurplus constantly in the State treasury. This is very different from the bankrupt State treasury of fifteen years ago. The, Republican party in thia state has shown itself to be preeminently wiBe and judicious in the management of State affaire and has no end of results to point to in pioof of its ability, integrity and devotion to the interests of the people.
