This is not the first time that Cape May has produced a State Senator who ean laugh at the party whip and who kmows how to ignore machine orders. None of the Republican blame for the defeat of the Edwards bill attaches to William Bright.-Jersey Journal POR SALE-QUARTER | HORSE, LC ca C R2 CA ~3 of use. Apply A. D.

By direction of the Board April 2, 1919 UNICATED To Taxpayers and Public Mr. Editor: Will you please rectify some mistakes Mr. Rutherford has made in his communication, as he is getting. old, and forgetful. . When he naked me to help take out cement from under the Bridge, 1 was not hired any specified time only by the hour, I helped with the heavy work a few days, while "I was waiting to help . take . down ‘more, and put up the Y. M. C. A. {Building to be used for Red Crons peo{pte. I said tot the men, "Now you idon‘t need me any more, you can go‘ [pes all right." So I left no contract whatever as there was none, and left jmy things for them to use. If 1 twas gone two days before he knew it why wasn‘t he looking after what they {got paid for. He said about different {arrangements to make. | There baad no other men hired. just the two kept on with the work, as no other men: were needed. Mr. Rutherford knew when 1 went. [Tuesday evening when I went to see [the bid he did not say anything about the "stuff" he put in the naper. . He meted confused, and simply said, "We decided to give it to Gilbert. you nre; not a practical painter." When I said | T was an under bidder, he said a little,, ‘but didn‘t tell how much the little biked [(he forgot of course, as he is old and forgetful). |

Schellenger hod said $80, but. when 1 saw later what it was. my. hid wa $238, — Gilbert und: Schellenger | was $370, no the difference was the little »um of $141 thrown away. When he suid he told me the Board said they couldn‘t trust me after the treatment 1 gave them, he never suid such a thing to me, and when he suid I eame back four times to ask for a job, because I had nothing to do, is another false statement. 1 had not ween Mr. Rutherford but once since, then did not speak to him. . It must have taken him some time to have trumped up the "stuff" he put in the paper. 1 am not at enmity with any one of the party, but decided such flirty work should be. made . public. | Taxpayers vote right.
