SOME ELECTION NOTES . ! The Star and Wave regards the I, nominations to be made on Tuesday next on the Republican ticket, likely to be of more potent interest to the people of this county, than any which have- Veen made . in some years- . The Republican nominee for the Sen- , ate and -the Republican nominee for ' the House of . Assembly will stand a 5 very good chance of election. As nearly as anything can be sure their -- election is sure- The county stands to win or lose dccordin<* as the right n or wrong men are chosen. It theree fore behooves every voter to come to . the front and vote- We particularly . hope that our women voters will see 1( their opportunity and vote in the inr terest of their county. We hope all I. of them will vote. The candidate for the Republican nomination for the House of Assem j bly is Robert J-'Kay, of WildwoodHe is one of the most reliable and 3 substantial citizens of his city and , county. He has held the office of B city treasurer for several years with entire satisfaction to everybody- In j business standing and integrity he is j second to no man in the state. 5 He will be loyal to the best interests of this county every Jime and I you will always know where to find I l-.im. He will also be loyal to the interests of the Republican constituents and to Republican principlesIf Governor Edwards, Bright'sbest . friend, is "Wet as the Atlantic Ocean," how wet is Bright? . J Bright entered a suit at law' in the New Jersey Supreme Coiirt just I about one year ago against one ChasV. Marshall of Vinelaiul, asking $25,I 01.0 damages because the -said Mar -j ! j shall \Vas . alleged to have said that i j he had seen the Hpn- Blight under I the influence of liquor. Why has ['not .this' suit been • tried and this i great question settle«r definitely? Just -think what a fellow could do ' with S25 000. Andrew C. Boswell has twice secured the' passage of the Cane May to Lewes bill by the legislature of New Jersey. The first time it was vetoed l»y .Governor Edwards whose intimate friend is Senator Brightsecond time if was Signed bv the governor after its passage . by the legislature and rendered inoperative by /{he chicanery of false friendsWe know absolutely that Boswell did all that a man could dt> to establish the ferry and we know that he is ready to finish the job in the next session of the legislature- We know absolutely that Robert J. Kay, candidate for the House of Assembly- is of the same spirit. Then "Lets go" to the polls and nominate -them both upon the Republican ticket. Why take a chance of sending representatives hostile to the ferry project when we are sure of these' two "men. Do Cape May county people want the Cape May to Lewes ferry? Then make Boswell, the man who has made it possible, Republican candidate for State Senator and Kay who also a strong ferry man, Kepubli- . an candidate fa- the HauSs of 'Assembly, If .we fail to do this it will ['show a lamentable lack of interest in. the progress and prosperity of our : countyBoswell was a star player rtpon the I famous Cape May base ball team. of I the 90s and he has lost xione of his pep- He puts 'cm over the plate nov.-. | a-days as in the days of yore.
