The election j ® bulletins will be flashed on the screen ® at the close of each reel. There ha^|s been selected enough photoplays to run continuously until the returns are com- i plete without repeating. Arrangements have been rmjde with t the BelL Telephone Company whereby j ' the theatre will be in constant touch •] f with New York. The Keystone system , ' will al.-o be used for local reports. j . A feature of the late show that will { be appreciated by the men is that smok- r) ing will be permitted after 10.30. . e The management has made every ef- 5 fort to (1-livr the r. turns at the earliest r " possible minute and -furnish oomfort ' and good entertainment at the same a" - tlme" " ■ ' I S e- t, EXCEPTIONAL VALUES IN TRIMMED MILLINERY , A splendid collection for Saturday's j k busy shoppers.

HALLOWE'EN CARNIVAL Wonderful success STREETS, LANES AND BY. WAYS OF OLD CAPE MAY CROWDED AND j , JAMMED WITH PEOPLE FROM NEAR AND FAR WHO CAME TO PARTICIPATE IN AND VIEW THE HALLOWE'EN CARNIVAL HELD IN THIS RESORT TUESDAY NIG HT — WlLDWOOD VERY STROHQLY REPRESENTED.

j Over five thousand persons witnessed • i thj Second Annual Hallowe'en Carnival under the auspices of the Board of . . Trade of Cape May, lost evening. Prac- ' tically every town within a radius of | i or fifteen miles was represented in 1 the assemblage. Elaborate black and decorattens under a canopy of electric lights converted Washington Street into a splendid stage for the pa- ' rade. The marcning was begun prompt- j ly at eight o'clock from the City Hall, | and it was nearly ten when the last organization had disbanded at Washing- 1 and Perry streets. The "Wildwood Pierrots," as they j passed by were given a great round of j applause. This organization was originated by guests of the Hotel Dayton, j They were costumed in white buffoon ! Pierrott costume was white buffoon J suits j with black pompoms, ,Jj?ng loose j sleeves and trousers- of the same ma- | terial tied at the ankle. The .Pierrots about seventy-five men and women , in line, and were headed by the Wild-j wood City Band. They performed several evolutions before the reviewing i stand, which gave evidence- of the prep- 1 aration they had made. A donkey and' two pages followed th'e line. Cape May High School also came in 1 for its share of Ihe applause. With a 1 hundred and forty-eight students in line, : the school presented a formidable show- ; ing qf its splendid spirit. Under the! direction of Principal Butterwick they . marcljed in fops^oeparkte columns-^] flbat intervening— each with it* own 1 uniform garb. The Seniors, -in the unique ! Hallowe'en costume 6f cap and gown ' were wildly \received and the Freshies ' with their prairie schooner followed .by | cowa^especially, received their share of! the nolfiy approval. The /two other classes, also, did remarkably well. The Wildwood Fire Department made a grand showing as it swung down the street and past the reviewing stand — two strong blue columns with apparatus ^»nd the Cape May Firemen following, looked equally well. As usual, the Ogallala Tride of Red! Men was on the job with their Indian I garb. West Cape May also had its contingent in line. A large number of floats and decorated automobiles entered both by individuals and by companies filled the between the marchers. The most imposing of these' following the order of their march: Jesse Brown's tin battleship, "Cape May," with a brace of jolly tars; the Cape May Point Trolley a humorous but realistic representation of our former "one-lungers two deliveries of the TrOy Laundry decorated - appropriately; truck of the Chpe May Baking Company draped in colors and I ========= ] ■

d ; a truck of the Geo. M. Duulap store; J. .1 \Vvodruff El dredge's new Studenaker in f HsUowe'eneolors; large car .of the Beth- - K-hem Steel Company wonderfully f orated in patriotic colors; a clever float i ' of the Gas Company typifying'" three i witches in a heath with burning fire — f - this float was built over Ihe chassis of. i an automobile and the driver was so - cleverly concealed pe to be invisible; the ! - j Baki r Brothers in automobiles decked I , with flowers, leading the column from j - Wildwood; two magnificent large motor - j fire trucks of the Wildwood F.

M. j F. D. with apparatus drawn by mag.nificent horses; Uncle Josh and Aunt | , Samanthy. an old country couple. The .•Merry Concert Band an Picanninies, of 'r j Cape May, brought up the rear. .! After the parade, there followed a nfen- to all in costume I with' skates, in which a large number of ! persons took part. William Porter's ^ i Cape May Band of twenty-six pieces furj nisbed the music for the skating which . - was both of a comic and fancy nature. ' Prior to the skating contest, Mayer Stevens, speaking from the reviewing ! stand, erected at Washington and Ocean ! streets, expressed his gratitude for the > | support given by the people of Cape • May, not only, but also by those par- ( ' j ticipants from outside sections, partic- . i ularly by those from Wildwood. Be- ] j calling the great success of the three tj municipal demonstrations held ip Oape ' | j May within the last year the Mayor i declared for the establishment of -the 1 Hallowe'en Carnival as an annual wvent • here in Cape May. He concluded bis ' • short discourse with Hie presentation of , - the prizes which were awarded by the ; committee as follows: Best dres&ed organization — 1st prize, | Wildwood Pierrots, $25 ; 2nd prize, Red | Men of Cape May. $15.

EDGE QUESTIONS WITTPEKN Atlantic City, Nov. I.— in an open V letter written today to tNnrnl Officer ^ H. Otto Wittpenn, his Democratic opponent, Senator Walter E. Edge, the! Republican nominee for Gov era or, de-j j man d= that Wittpenn "become specific; j °° the question of corporation taxation and control and stop glossing over the subject with generalities." ' Edge hurls four specific questions at ' the Democratic nominee and calls for I specific answers. The letter folio we : Nor. 1, 1916. , Hon. H. Otto Wittpenn, n Jersey City, New Jersey. Dear Sir: „ I do not believe the people of New! t Jersey are interested right now either} e :n the local political rows ' in Atlantic _ county or in the fact that Hndaon ( county contributed more than sixty bal3 lot-box etuffer* to the State Prison sevp eral years ago as the result of an in- 1 j j vestlgatlon conducted by the Honorable j j t John J. Gardner of my county. Neither) r do I bqjieve that they are inteiested in! _ the other fact that your political as so- ! . [ ciatos in Hudson county have within a | J year past publicly charged gross frauds . against public officials who were yojir . 1 lieutenants in politics. The voters ARE | interested in knowing what measures ,*you and I respectively propose to ad- " vocate as Governor. , Personally, I decline to seek the great - office of Governor by a demagogic atti- . tude of indiscriminately denouncing bus- . iness men or the corporations of our , State, big or little. I have not hesitat- ; ed, however, to advocate and make clear i my position on such measures as are . fair and in the interest of the taxpayers . of New Jersey, regardless of whom they . affect. On the other hand, I have waited ■ patiently for you to make your posi- : tion clear on the legislative issues of ■ the campaign. Y'ou have not done so. ' Apparently a campaign of personal abuse best suits your plans. 1 You have posed as the champion of f the people agiist "grasping" corporo- ' tions," and have intimated that t hold 1 u different view. The facts, as evi- ■ denced by the two Stale' Conventions, 1 . are to the contrary. [ la the Republican Convention, I, as j the leader of my party, secured a plat- j j form pledged to the taxation of gross j receipts of public utility -corporations at five per cent., which . will make these corporations pay over a million dollars -a year in additional taxes, j In your Convention, a resolution to j , include this same pledge was voted . , i down on motion of James R. Nugent, r the Democratic Boss of Essex county, , I while you sat in silence and acquiesced. ; ! In your campaign thus for, while i ' you hare denounced these corporations j f , in general terms, you have studiously 1 . avoided pledging yourself or your party ' j to any specific measures of relief. i . I propose now to smoke you out on > ! this corporation issue and to that end | I demand that you publicly answer oer- • tain questions and cease the transparent evasion which has characterized your handling of this important question. Your attitude has reminded me strongly I of an old fable — and you are calling "stop thief" in order to divert attention I from your own indefensible position. While you state, with broad, saving reservations and provisos, that you favor an increased tax upon the fren- : chises of the public utilities corporations ; of this Strite, yet you leave your position on the vital question in a state of i grave uncertainty and you c sincerity - to question. I now ask you: ,1 (1) Are you personally in favor of opposed to the passage of a law in-
