DRUM BITING AT GREEN CREEK The party boat captains and owners at Norbury's Landing, Green Creek, are finding the late season profitable and all the boats are renaming in operation thfu September. Many of the folk at the ' resort i have discovered that the fishing is lietter at t}jis time of the year and have stayed over for the best fun i possible — fishing in the Bay. i The weak fish have been running ] large during the past two weeks and i drum are beginning to, wander to the 1 famous "Drum beds^' and several l

have been taken on blue fish lines during the week past. , Some of the wiser captains state that the drum may be expected by the latter part of September this A year in great numbers and most of the boats are getting booked up and thpf' captains have instructions to get busy with the telephones as soon as the channel bass are running in dead earnestIn the meantime the sportsmen are getting a lot of fun out of the big Weak fish and the occasional drum and some fine catches are reported. TO THE VOTERS OF LOWER TOWNSHIP Having served the Township one Term as Assessor, I wish to announce that I will be a candidate for nomi- J nation and reelection. The general increase in taxes in Cape May County cannot be attribut- 1 ed to the- Assessor, especially in Low- " er Township, as there is but two dis- 1 tricts where the tax rate is as low as in this Township. Believing that, my experience in this work will enable me to rectify some mistakes that ntay have been r made.

L TO M REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF CAPE MAY COUNTY ' . - — • f Oh the 27th day of September a * primary election will be held to nominate a candidate of each political 1 * party for State Senator. Having -observed the political no- I tice of the Hon- William H. Bright j | and being cognizant of the' fact, that t he has filed a petition to be a candidate for nomination at the primary election of the Republican Party for . State. Senator and desiring to call . the attention of the Republican Voters, (men and women) to his solid.- . tation for your votes, based upon his record and appealing "for the loyal, 1 active, hearty support of all the Voters at the Republican Paimary Election, Tuesday, September 27th, 1921" and wishing to— N inform Republican oters of the inconsistency of his appeal would respectfully refer you to his Democracy jn tbe Legislative Senate Minutes for the years 1919 1920 and 1921. Space will not permit to give a full . and complete record as to his mis- ] conception of the functions of a Re- , publican Primary Election and his ( affiliations with the Democratic par- ( ty , but 'the following .records are il-" j lustrative of his political status in ,

a the past three years: "A supplement to an act entitled, e 'An act providing for the creation of y Juvenile Courts in count ips of the s first class, and defining the jurisdicf tion and powers thereof.'

Voting against the bill Republi. f cans and no Democratsf Senate resolution, rntroduoed by 1 Republican Senator January 11th, ' 1921. * It "w*lereaf:. The very stability of jour government, the execution of all laws and the enforcement thereof, as 1 well as the abiding settlement of differences between our citizens rests in ' the confidence which our people have , in the integrity of ohr eourts and judicial officers; and Whereas, In these days of unrest , and readjustment there is sought 0 l be injected into the minds of the peo- , pie suspicion and distnist of all government; and ' 1 Whereas, The judiciary of the State of New Jersey stands out among the States of the Union for , the speedy and impartial enforce- , ment of law, and the integrity of the ( members thereof has always been J above suspicion; and Whereas, the Governor' of the State ; of New Jersey has issued a statement through the public press in v which, among other things, he said: j the plan to remove the power of appointment of these commission- t ers from the Governor and to vest, it certain members of our courts, (| 1 who are believed to be under the in-

fluence of these interests" (meaning ' "certain malignant and invisible inter- ^ ests): and ! Whereas, This accusation is an attack upon certain members of our highest courts, which, if true, would 1 constitute cause*" for impeachment; • therefore, /\ . Be it Resolved-. "(by the Senate of New Jersey), That a committee of three members be appointed by the : President tto. wait upbn the Governor and request from hinjl the names of the members of the court to which he referred and the facts upon which his charges are based;, and Be it Further Reslved, That m^gnwhile the Senate of New Jersey does hereby express its 'absolute confidence jn the courts of this State and the members thereof and in the integrity, and impartialjustice of their ] official acts." Voting for the resolution Republicans and no Democrats. Voting against the resolution Democrats and one Republican (Bright). I do not wish to infer that, Mr. Bright desires to deceive the Sepub- ' J lican Voters, but feel that he has an idea as to tke purpose of j the primary elections and that his petion has been filed and his notice of

appeal to Republicans made through Ample provision is made by the election lqw for a person to become a-candidateDther than through party affiliations and it would be of better grace had Mr- Bright filed a petition other than a Republican Party Petition if- Yie did not desire to 'file ^ his petition as a candidate for nomination to be voted for in the Demoe cratic primary electionIt may be asked as to the Assem- , blymen from Una. county during the ' years 1919, 1980 dm! 1921 and ins quiry will determine that the Assemblymen were loyal to their party. I eannot-subscribe to Mr. Bright's ^ statement which read — "I have stood r for constructive legislation and for the best interests of the people," as j 1 am -well satisfied that when his at- , j" tention is called to one of the above j Legislative Bills, which was for the purpose of removing an architect I (charged with incompetency) who had charge of the architectural work i\nd the supervision of the buildings to be erected to house the State's de pendents, which Legislative Bill -was requested by those in charge of the ' State's Institutions, and thereby placing the architect and the supervision" of buildings under the care and sup-ervision.-of the Department of Insti-' tutions and Agencies, and. Mr. Bright being the only Republican voting against the bilj -with the Democrats, while the Republicans amh Democrats voted for the bill> as well as his attitude toward constructive Cape May County Legislation gives the impression of his failure to comprehend the significance of his aDove quoted statement which will be "the guarantee for future action." Appreciating your support in the past and believing through loyal Republicanism this county in the future can be better developed by necessary constructive Legislation, I ask your support at the primary elec tion. x g( ANDREW "C.
