E AT CAPE MAY. N. J.

Qompwisi Jha flaaruiA. Cape May County Republican candidates will win in the general election November 3. That is the confident prediction of party leaders ancC political observers throughout the county as the pre-election campaign enters its final stages. While “Victory!” has been the battle-cry of politicians from time immemorial, it is more than a mere bid for the undecided electorate to get on the band-wagon in Cape May County’s general election this year. It is a prediction based

upon indisputable facts.

The Republican candidates for county offices are men who are emyiently fitted for the jobs they seek. With but one exception, all seek re-election. All have had experience, ranging from five to 20 years in their respective jobs. It is that kind of knowledge that counts most heavily in these times when war-time conditions present grave problems even

in county and local governments.

The incumbents in the various county offices which are to be filled in the general election have done good jobs without exception. They are men who are natural leaders, both in their own businesses and in governments. As a result, they have directed their abilities toward giving Cape May County good government, and they have succeeded admirably

in their efforts.

Senator Scott and Assemblyman Boswell, experienced and mature in their judgments, have made outstanding records in the New Jersey Legislature. It would be unfair to expect any inexperienced man—regardless of political faith—to replace them satisfactorily in Trenton. They "know the ropes’’. They have proved themselves. They have brought unprecedented honor and prominence to Cape

May County.

Freeholders Ralph T. Stevens and Percy H. Jackson, veteran members of the county governing body, have done excellent jobs in their individual departments. Under Mr. Stevens’ direction, county finances have risen to a well ordered efficiency that saves every one of us dollars in tax money each year. Freeholder Jackson, likewise, has made a distinct contribution to county government in his department, making new and valuable innovations in many branches. Surrogate Irving F’itch, a veteran of 20 years’ service, has an equally outstanding record. The administration of his office is considered one of the most efficient in the state. Coroner Candidate H. R. Hansman is the only newcomer on the slate. As a successful business man and a leader in his community, he is well qualified for the position he seeks. Contrasted with the Democratic candidates, the Republican aspirants offer a wealth of experience, of tried and

true ability.

Albert Hawkes, former president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, is a candidate for the Senate of which Republicans piay be proud, and in Major General Foulois, former head of the Army Air Corps, the second district has one of the^ost distinguished aviation experts in the United States as a candidate, when air power is of major im-

portance.

The whole ticket is worthy of the support of all of Cape May County, regardless of political party.

Cape May officials received their first rebuff in their at' tempt to obtain improved rail service when a representative of the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines announced there is little hope of a schedule revision to add more trains or to arrange departures and arrivals at more convenient hours. But to men who have fought long campaigns for nearly adequate rail service for Cape May and other county communities, one rebuff is not a conclusive answer. In fact, it is merely a routine preliminary on the part of the railroad. One of the most significant results of last week’s conference was disclosure of figures showing the amount of rail traffic to and from Cape May County daily at. this time of year. In what is normally the slackest season for Cape May County, the railroad has been averaging approximately 250 fares daily between county, towns and Philadelphia. From Cape May alone, the average is between 80 and 90 daily. With more automobiles going off the highway daily as a repUlt of tire and gasoline rationing, with more military activity in this area, with war-time projects continuing unabated, there is every possibilty that the present traffic will increase rather than drop. From-a strictly selfish standpoint, it would seem that the railroad would gladly accede to requests for improved service. If the., rail road’s initial rebuff was a matter of routine, and the company wants to be coaxed into improving its service as it has been coaxed to do virtually everything"else it has ever done in or for Cape May County, let us coax?cajole and campaign until the fight is won. - Cape May County NEEDS adequate rail service. That need should be met as promptly as the war emergency permits. <£andIindA 9n Qucuidcvu^ Sutnmer rentals of ^ashore properties are apparently included in the rent'ceilirig regulations established some time ago by the Office of Price Administration. That is indicated by Administrator Henderson’s rulings in two recent cases, involving properties in North Jersey resorts. Just what effect the rent ceiling order will have on Cape May properties no one knows. It is assumed, from recent correspondence between city officials and OP A officers, that an area rent director for this locality will soon be appointed to administer the rent ceiling regulations. Probably not until such an official has begun his duties will there be any clear picture of what local landlords may expect. In regulating rents, innumerable questions must be answered, innumerable problems must be solved. Each property has its own individual conditions which must be con-

sidered.

How the rent ceiling law will work out with properties that are rented on a purely seasonal basis and those which are rented for winter months and summer months under separate leases, remains a mystery at present. Undoubtedly some formula for establishing fair rents will be worked out for seashore properties. Until that happens, however, seashore landlords are keeping all their fingers crossed and are wondering what they might expect next season.

American business management is producing % of that flow of power. The same practical business management under public regulation that has increased electric service and decreased electric prices so much that the average American family today enjoys about twice as much electricity for the
