Governor Runyon, in particular, though a candidate for the office he is now filling, did not uiter a word which could be construed by anybody as bearing upon his candidacy or poliities, but delivered a scholarly address upon the great questions before the state and nation and the world. The County Vocational Schools were represented by a large and fine exhibit of farm products raised by students and a lesson in cooking under its auspicies was given by Miss Regina Loew, graduate: of Temple College. A lesson in sewing was to have been given by Miss Henrictta Goff, of this city, but various delays absorbed the time available and prevented it. Each of the speakers spoke in laudatory terms of the fine vocation school exhibits, and of the schools. mesMOTORS FROM INDIANA Waller Benson has motored here [from Indiana and is spending a few days in Cape May, with his friends Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Nelson and family.

‘CA"E MAY BY WATER | MAu vouk, . PHILADELPYTA HIE AND — NOREOLE: ending the summer a th his family and it in the £». time he has ever made an y here. He has however, years visited here and conse‘quently ix in a position to note the | changes in improvements, . It is with {regret that he notices that most of {the changes can hardly be classed as {improv nonts. i Permit me therefore to trespass {upon your valuable space for the pure | pose of offe: ng a few suggestions. |_ As a reso.t possibility Cupe May {has been more or less of a puzzle. } Why? Why does it seem that Progjreas has been walking circles around {one of the most favorable spots for development in the country? Is it ‘throttled? — Are its land and ripatian ‘rights ted up, | Is it looked at too closely. from the ide so ‘hat its perspective from the outside is obsecured?. Or, does it simply await the »park of initiative needed to put it on the map of the United States intead of remaining simply on the map of Cape "Tuy County? | I am inclined to think that the last | mentioned alternative holds the solution of the problem. | Any plans worthy of consideration and adoption require study. . They ‘involve the removal of obstacles that have stood in the path of development in the past. They mean that the business interests of the town must turn their mind v from the supe erfciul advantages of.the present and luck toward the possibilities of two, three or five years hence. And final-/ ly it means that everyone will have to get down to one concentrated p‘an of whole-souled cooperation. Now, let‘s see, in m generel ‘way, what opportanities lie before us: | Cape May offers direct-by-water‘ transportation from these four important centers: New York, Philadet.| phin, Baltimore and Norfolk, The deepening of the Chesapeake Canal by the Government will open a veritable flood gate of resort business. It offers a direct water route from Baltimore, And it puts Washington, Richmond and other centers of population appreciably nearer to Cape May than any other equally promin- | ent resort. In fact the canal willi throw open a tremendous territory south of the Mason and Dixon line whose natural transfer points will then be Baltimore instead of Phila delphia; and whose natural resort destination will then be Cape May. As to the possibilitics for water transportation from New York, Philadelphis, Wilmington. Norfolk amd other cities along the Atlantic Const, it is | needless to elaborate on what they will mean to Cape May and its twentymilHondollar deep-water harbor. These delightful over-night . or . one-day steamer trips will offer the public a double incentive to come to Cape May instead of resorts reached only by hot, uncomfortable railroad . travel. worth while for the public to come to o ts i c H dL. a lishment of the steamboat lines will come about ef itself. thet Combine this dominant, overwhelm ing advantage with the natural advantages Cape May has, and the movement to make it one of the biggest resorts in the world is little more than a matter of carefully thought out detzile followed by a consistent program to put them into effect, | It means, first of all, getting together and "taking stock" to compile and summarize the resources available to: work with . the things you have to dovelop and sell £0 the world-pleasures, comforts, attractions and other ad vantages to the multitudes who are ready to become the guests of the tesorts that can "deliver tha goods."

PROVE OF CITV‘ POBITION, Contrary to. an. established precedent, the Hoard of Commissioners have refured to grant the life guards the use of the Convention Hall, in which to hold a benefit ball. Their stand in the matter is being approved by the majority of the voters here. Some time mince, the guards sont in a signed petition, stating that the privilege had been granted to them in past years, and requesting a similar action this season. The matter was thoroughly threshed out by the Commissioners, who finally decided that that the only just thing they could do would be to refuse the hall, doing this, one of the commiszioners said: "The Board would like to grant the request of the guards, but they find themselves unable to do so. If the petition was granted, in all Justice, the same thing would have to be done .for other members of the police department with which the life guards operate. The same thing, if requested, would have to be granted to the Fire department, the atreet department, water department, or any ather department of the municipal ad- j ministration." . He remarked that it} would be just as logical for the Com: | missioners: themselves to. request a | benefit. ._ | In answer to the question,raised by | the guards concerning the Boy Scouts , receiving two benefit nights on the pier, he suid that the Boy Seout move | ment was an institution supported ul~! most entirely contributions and for |

{extending them the use of the pier. { On the other hand, the life guards re{ceive a salary for every minute that they work, and are in no way entitled to benefits. The city is supported in its stand | el the taxpayers who abject to see Ing the Convention Hall, which is a | pobre proposition, being used for the benefit of any private citizen. ---«ee_ & AUTO ACCIDENT | An auto accident in which at teat |one person was injured lant ! | Wednesday afternoon, when a large truck, operated by the Navy Depart-i ment, amashed into the truck owned | by Walter Taylor. ‘The scene of the collision was the | corner of Washington street and De-i j catur, one of the busiest cornern in ; The Naval truck was coming , slowly up Decatur street and in; avoiding a boy on a bicycle, was fore» ed to hit Taylor.

TO BUILD NEW AUTO ROUTE BY REPUB ANDIDATE, WiLL ADD LY To PRosPrERmITY BDF Newton A. K. Boghee, State Comptroller and Republican candidate for the nomination for Governor, during his visit here last week, outlined a project which he proposes to advance if he should become governor, which If carried out will be one of the most progressive and important ver uncertaken by a state and will increase the wealth and prosperity of all parts of New Jersey to an unprecedented extent, ‘This project is nothing more nor leas than the creation of a great and continuous automobile foute along the const from New York to Florida, crossing the Delaware to Lewes, Dela« wate at this point. The State‘s ax» pense would be limited to the erection of proper wharves by the State High way commission within and without the harbor, to adequately accommodate the great traffic which would im« mediately ensue, when such a route was once established and available, as it can be made for both winter and summer. This project enthusinstical« ly advocated by Mr. Bugbee, will benefit not only our own state but New York, Philadelphia, and the whole Atiantic seaboard of the I‘nited States and will be received by ac claim in all parts of the south. It will be a much shorter conneetion with all points south and it ix a fitting supplement to the great campaign for good roads in this «tate insugurated c Governor Edge and now in proons of being curried out.
