Communications will not be considered unless signed. The difficulty which confronts voters very often is to know which can. didate for an office will keep' his and their interests rather than himaclf and his own interests exclusively. The candidate before the people for the first time is an unknown quantity and he^has to be tried before it is known what kind of stuff he is made of. It sometimes turns out to be promise And serve his constituents mighty poor stuff. Where a. man has been tried and not found wantMfc. where Me, has given evidence of a desire to wirve conscientiously and carefully the interests of his constituents, said constituents will be extremely unwise not to promote him and keep him in their serviceHon. Andrew ('. Boswell, member of the House of Assembly for two years, is a candidate this year for the State Senate. The county hits never had an Assemblyman who gave more faithful , attention to his duty or who watched with more patience and determinu- < tion tp discover and oppose lecisla- ' tlon.which would be prejudicial in the Interests of Cape May County. i There ia need #f this watchfulness i and faithfulness and it is going to i cost every taxpayer in this county cash money when we fail to have I HB>l uiwivy "Iitn Mil Ml iiaic

proper legislative representatives. Bills are frequently offered which . assail our interests and which need to be combatted with intelligence and ability. Mr. Boswell has both. HIS EFFORTS IN THE LAST SESSION WHICH DEFEATED THE EFFORT TO. SECURE BY LAW A NEW METHOD FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF STATE SCHOOL ' MONEY SAVED THIS CfHLNT/Y A LOSS OF FROM $30,000 to 1R50.- ^ 000 PER YEAR. *-"* I *"Mr. Boswell secured also the pass- ' age of the bill providing for a ferry 1 to Lewes and though it is inactive ' for the present because of a techni- ' cat error, it is on the statute books ' and the error will be eliminated next ' year. It is one of the biggest things 1 ever secured by any representative 1 of Cape May County and Mr. ' Bos- ' well is entitled to fHlJcredit. * Mr. Boswell was clect<SHq_thc >Ai- I aembly as a Republican andfiflias 1 been1 faithful to his party. He has ® acquired no reputation as the right $ hand man of a Democratic governor. 0 There were Democrats entitled to be s "right hands" but a Republican could *■ not acquire such a reputation with- s out being treacherous to his party. e Mr. Bos well has stood erect as a .good a Republican and as an honest tnun P KepuDiican and honest

and he will give us representation in the State Senate which will protect 'and advance the interests of 'every citizen of Cape May County. Incidentally his record on the liqnor question throughout his public career is clear and unsullied from every standpoint. There has never been any doubt or question on this Subject. . V_ . - . •« • • • POLITICS AND PUBLICITY Direct primary laws have been passed and amended and enlarged upon until it is a bright election officer or even lawyer who knows precisely what they mean. We all know what was aimed at but we are not all of us sure whether "the target was hit or4misse<hOne thing rather specifically mentioned and provided ,for teas publicity fh regard to campaign expenditures and one result has beeft a considerable increase in the practice of perjury or near perjury. Perhaps "It will be better tq say more politely that the increase . was in political evasions- We do not beTTeve people* realize how widespread is the theory and practice that everything goes in politics. This includes a number of things which it Would be considered to be a great breach of political etiquette to mention -i^ polite society or in print. "Nobody who is actively en gaged in politics likes to be mentioned in print unless he sqes what' the mention is tb be like first, with the power to veto'i'f It does not- suit him. These newspapers which he does , not -have under his thumb keep him

r awake at nights and upset his nerves L considerably. When you come to think of it, nempapers are too very kind- There is m much that would interest the general reader, that neVer gets the' chance- Every newspaper man feels the impulse sometimes to break loose and write a eonK tinued story, jus^ to, liven things up a bit and straighten the community B out. It speaks well for his self-con-trol that he does not do it. The pot- litical scheming, the false, pretenr. tions And various other things that _ people conceal from the public by ] hiding their heads in the sands, are so plainly visible to people whose n eyes are in good order, that there y never would be any difficulty about copy. But to Tiring the ship back on her course again, which was politics as she is practiced. We should like to see more publicI. ity. It is more needed at the pres-" i. ent time than ever before because we s have about twice ans many voters as i- at any previous time and they should >- keep informed- The various public e -doings which go under the head of n ^politics from no part of the ritual of :- any secret fraternity, excepting itf may be "The Ring" or "Tile -Jang," * andHhey do not~*ount. They are e working without a charter, and are s not to be recognized- !
