MAY CONNECT WILDWOOD AND CAPE MAY 8 A committee of seven members of the | Board of Freeholders was appointed to obtain from the various seashore r*uP nicipal governing bodies their views respecting the completion of the proposed All Resort Automobile Ronte. This was deemed desirable, in view of the wide divergence of opinion held regarding the expediency of this project. At the ® last meeting, for instance, a resolution, protesting against the Undertaking war reeeived from the Wildwood Board of Trade, while a resolution approving ~ it came in from the Stone Harbor Bor- | ough Council and a petition was filed asking for the ^construction of that section of the bridge-boulevard between n Wildwood Crest and Cape May.

DAUGHTERS OF VETERANS ORGANIZE The meeting held on Wednesday eve- ^ ning at the Auditorium to form a Tent of the Daughters of Veterans was very well attended . A lively interest was ' manifested all thru the meeting. Owing to the church meetings quite a number , was unable ttf be present and as they I had signed their names to the application for the charter, their absence from ' this meeting will not debar them from becoming a charter member. Two temporary offices were filled : Mrs. S. Moore, treasurer and Miss Helen Swain, ■ secretary. The organization of the Tent will take place on Tuesday evening, Oc- : tober 17. , WHAT DO YOU THINK OF IT? How do the 90 per cent, perhaps, qf • the citizens of this city and county, I to whom the welfare of both means ■ their own welfare, feel about having them peddled in Philadelphia and thru1 out the State of New Jersey as places in which the people must be paid every election in order to secure their votes. The facts are, as everybody knows, that not one cent of money is needed in Gape May County for election purposes and candidates and the people at large would be much better served, if money wero absolutely kept out of every campaigpi. We are convinced that every ] candidate nook in nomination would "have won if there had been no expenditure of money, whatever. FESTIVAL The*, Ladies' Aid of the Methodist .
