READING PUTS OH SUMMER SCHEDULE The Reading Railway Company lias announced thati the summer schedule of • their road will be put in effect on Sunday, J|une 25th. THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION The nomination of Charles E. Hughes, Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States to be president, by the Republican party in convention assembled at Chicago last week has been received with favor by all Republicans and by many people of other parties. That be will prove the strongest candidate who could have been nominated, appears to be evident and his election is confidently expected by many of the most acute obserrerers in the country of the political trend. His ringing telegram of acceptance and statement of views Was more than satisfactory and reas•uring to the country. The nomination of Fairbanks for vice president should also be satisfactory for he baa proven his ability, integrity and pattiotism and is entitled to be regarded as one of the foremost men 01 t!.o Republic, typical of our very best citiaenship. There are many members of the Hughes family in Cape May County and no doubt all of them will stand by the candidate who bears the family nam" an-J may be descended from the same or related ancestors. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS l*rom the Sea Isle CSty Times. A glance at the petition filed with the County Clerk calling for an election to decide . whether or not Cape May county thall have a small Board of Freeholders should convince any voter that the measure is one to be voted down on June 27th, and voted down emphatically. Out of 275 names on the petition, 188 are from Wildwood. A few, thirtythree to be exact, are from Cape May, the balance, a mere handful, are from the lower end of the county. Especially significant is the fact that there is not one signature from any part , of the upper portion of the county, including Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Ava- , Ion, and the upper portion of the mainland. Clearly then, the 6mall Board move- j ment is simply a Subtle play on the part , of the lower end of the county, to gain ' contrdl, absolutely, of the affairs of the highest governing body — the Freeholders. From the Ocean City Sentinel. This county is called on to stand the expense of another. election, to be held ' Tuesday, dune 27, when the question of ' adopting or rejecting the ptan for a ' email Board of Freeholders will come up ' for the decision of the people. ' So far as the average person can determine, there is no particular reason for such an election at this time. It could just as readily be held in the Fall. If ' there is a big rush, the question should ' have been submitted- for the action of ' the voter* at the special election held : a few weeks ago. I The '•Sentinel'' is of the opinion that 1 a Board of Freeholders comprising three ' members will not be for the best interest of the county. As at present constitut- ' ed, each secion of the couty has a repre- 1 ' tentative on the Board which would not be the condition if it is decided to have • a Board of three members. Some sections would be much better taken care 1 of tban others. - ' According to rumor* the scheme i* ' one that emanates from politicians in ' the lower section of the county who 1 are seeking to advance their own political power and glory. It look* as ' though it would be a very excellent move to vote against tbe proposed change.
