emery ELECTION — , pu s tuo 3 i 1 t A LL 3 Ballot of May 13th to Elect City Commissioners For Term of Four Years. Careful Consideration of Candidates Essential

bass The most important incident in the history of Cape May City for nearly four years is about to occur next Tuesday in the election of three men md ommissioners who will conduct the business of the city government for four years more, either for good or ill. . The selection of these men is by no meams matter of party politics. . Neither national, state nor county policies are at stake. Neither Republican, Democratic nor Probibition sentiments or principles cut any ice whatever in this contest. . It is solely and entirely a question of electing men of integrity and ability actuated by sentiments of loyalty to the interests of the city of Cape May. . In addition to this they should be men among men, able to appreciate and understand the point of view of other men, particularly of the workers in all lines and of those people, resident and non-resident, whose success in life depends upon Cape May‘s success, since, in many instances, all or a large percentage of their | investments are in Cape May property. Who measures up to these requirements best? This question will be answered by each voter according to his own observations and judgment. Le a H a R Perhaps there has never been an election in this city when the personal element has figured so little in the consideration of candidates. . The average voter is apt to consider that the whole bunch are pretty good follows, but he is also insistent on discovering who is the most emengetic and the most loyal? Which has the most backbone and who will stand firmest for their protection when Cape May‘s interests are at stake? . Above all. (who has the, most and best experience to fit him for handling the city‘s affairs? There can be but three elected and if you vote for more than three will: lose your vote. a & <0 # Practically everybody agrees that George P. Wentzell is thoroughly energetic, as his large and growing business shows; his loyalty is unquestioned aiid his whole interest lies right here in Cape May. | He has been tested ms ® councilman and stood like a rock for Cape May and against all flim-famenaling from whatever source. The council of which he was a member wan one of the best that ever sat for Cape May and the reactionaries who desired to continue their absorption of Cape May‘s capital for their private purposes brought onthe commission form movement in their. despair in order to oust & council which could not be "handled." Wentzell certainly qualifics. Cilbert was a member of the same council and aided in obtaining our asphalt street and doing the best work which has been done on streets for several years. He was committed to a program which would have straightened up Cape May‘s atreets by this time, if it had been carried out. He has had several years experience in city council, is chief of the fire department, giving his services in this capacity and has proven himaelf an efficient chief of an efficient department. | All of his interests lie in Cape May and his loyalty is unquestionable. . People who do businees with him all agree that he deals squarely and does good work. ‘We believe he will make a worth while commissioner. * Co C CP r a Ia Ca record over all other candidates. . He has been mayor through three different terms and sheriff of the county one term. . In his earlier experience as a mayor.he was instrumental in bringing to this city during the summers several important military organizations and conventions and those were some of the palmy days of Cape May when energetic officials kept the fame of the resort constantly on the maps. . He is one of the most prominent members of the Masonic Order in the state and has a widespread list of prorainent acquaintances all over the country, . Without reference to his aspirations to bocome a comminzioner he is in correspondence with important conducted important business enterprises here successfully for & number of years and knows the resort from stem to elreumference and also knows its needs. — He has traveled widely and knows how successful resorts have be-

HORACE R. WARE The passing of Mr. Horace R.

It was our guod fer tune to secure his services in the 9#‘a las Bookkeeper in the New Jersey some years. When the Security Trant (Company bought the N. J. Trust and Deposit Company‘s business he was |mdvanced to the position of | Second trons who tried him in highest esteem, As a citizen he stood uncompromising for civic righteousness and and dignified demeanor he was cer tainly an, unique and splendid charaeter, He often had a word of cheer and comfort for those who were depressed and seemed to see the "bright light in the cloud." As a Christian be made | no . loud profession but went steadily onward" "walking humbly with his God." But he is gone. It is the common Jot of all and life‘s tenderest ties are broken one by one for us all. . The Jesus whom he trusted has received his faithful servant in heavenly habitations.
