FROM THE EDITOR'S CH AIR i . ' 1,1 FORTHCOMING ELECTION OF A BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. THE VITAL POINTS 1 AT ISSUE CONSIDERED In' the last week's issue of the Sentinel, we undertook to explain - our attitude relative to the forthcoming election of a Board of Countv 1 Commissioners. We take the liberty, in order;to avoid misconception restate our position. I ' s First and foremostvthe Sentinel standetfaf Ocean City; but i only In so far as Ocean City stands for the right and the good. Politically the Sentinel, advocates in general terms government by majority, rule of the people through their representatives, and t not the rule of an oligarchy. It advocates a progressive policy, y consonant with the greatest good for the greatest number, and ! . In all . things .it endeavors and will endeavor to give voice to the wishes of the people, as far as able to discover and interpret the I ' wishes of the people. e Eventually, without the remotest doubt, the Sentinel will perforce bn compelled to declare itself, in favor of a certain candidate appealing for the suffrage of the electorate. In the Inst <" analysis, a political program or policy in the abstract, may be in f every lespect admirable; unless however, the said policy becomes 0 incarnated in a perron, it is of little value. In making its choice of a candidate or candidates for office, the Sentinel will not be influenced by any ulterior motive; in brief ^ the Sentinel will champion the candidature of the man or men, whoever they may be, whose political platform approaches the I c nearest to the policies and principles outlined. . , The time 'has arrived we think, that the Editor or the Sentinel 1 ' should declare himself. | a The top of the fence is not a comfortable seat; It impedes the 1 proper circulation of the blood. The issues at stake are too important i C jpdl vital, for playing the role of Mr. Facing-both-ways. jo 1 Before declaring ourselves, however, we should make clear the v : '"dors, which were taken into consideration, and which influenced ! choice. g 1. We looked for a candidate or candidates, who. have indicated C I m some wav. the possession of a definite administratis nUl.... J ; •Lin a definite and!

-- the only reliable methods of judging a candidate's policy, is by 'exam-! niing his past records. The new Boanl of Commissioners will ,be ! i- invested with tremendous power. They will exercise this power over i. ,,1* entire county. Will it be a part of their administrative policy to I \ distribute, in an equitable manner, to every section of the county, its s legitimate share of the benefits to be derived from the revenue, or to ■ s favor one section over another? Without attempting -to impeach one person more than another,' t 7^. 0n,yJJMSYe "n "uto ride ov*r county, to discover that this end. ovof which Ocean City is most concerned, has, in the. - past received mighty tittle in return for over $130,000, payable in cl taxes to the county. c II. Having discovered the policy of n candidate! .the question arises has he proved himself in poAsesaion of the neMaaary business qualities, the initiative and the diplomatic skill, to put his policy into : practice. Cape May County needs a business administrotiewrv. s A candidate may be absolutely sincere in his motives and principles e and utterly above reproach, but unless be has the executive ability to ' bring his ideas into concrete form, and the force of personality', or i diplomacy, to Vin the support of oDiers in favor of his proposals, his 'i ideals will remain forever of the stuff dreams are made. Without again impeaching any individual, the truth can- - not be denied, the county in the past. has been subject to n deplorable ' p lack of vision, on the part of Its administrative powers. Its develope- ' t ments have been spasmodic, and of the patchwork variety. There : appears to have been an utter lack of a comprehensive grasp of I and of a constructive policy. \ nL Granting a candidate's policy and abilities, measure up to i > the standard, a third questiqp arises. What are his affiliations 7 M ho ' , are sponsoring his candidature? Who perad venture are- financing 1 ..•* campaign? , All over the State ,one community after another has changed, or l in the process of changing, its form of county administration, from i large body to a small. | 1 t The people of Cape" May County voted i.i favor of this new form 1 1 . of V y ; Evidently they were dissatisfied with the old ' regime^ Evidently they were actuated by reason in their choice;;, evidently the people desired a better. 1 : Cape May County's bitterest enemy, would not dare say tlie!1 i people were- insane enough, to vote for something inferior than what'1 • they had. Nay more, if the fewness of the numbe.- of the old Board; mhieh ' r wUMi have been invited by the public, to seek election on the new, is , index of anything, the people were not only desiring a change in I ' form of administration, but also a change in the personnel. I Thn,_Jre Gnd the situation resolving itself into two distinct i , The patrons of the old - regime are lined up behind one set i of candidates, and the patrons of the new behind the other; and for . some reason or another the patrons of the old regime are fighting taoth and nail, to pe.rpetuate it and its policies, in the new form of ! ' I administration. . f , Now having- investigated and searched, having brooded and i thought over the matter, the Sentinel declares itself unequivocally;. :in Ja*or and support, of the ehree candidates, Joseph G. Champion'/1 -5, y' and ch*r,e,i P: Vaaaman, and comm*ids them strongly a the citizens of the county. We feel we should make this neelara- <• tion in justice to our readers. f, Having declared itself, the Sentinel will not resort to mean) ,1 tartics, no unscrupulous cowardlv sand-bagging in the dark, no mud- . slinging. The-Sgntinel has been actuated only, by the desire to secure 1 the highest typ M administration, possible for the countv, ami the utmost advantage for its citizens. It does not claim infallibility of n but it does claim sincerity of purpose. With no other motive it declare* itaeif for the three afore men- I. i CHA*lSdl v5S?AMa!iEPH G CHAMP10N- ROBERT J.

The Ocean City Chamlier of /Commerce entered upon it- winter. ' j activities, with an ambitious pro- j ' gram for the advancement if the! ! j City, on Tuesday evening, at the ' I City Hall. ] In his introductory remarks, i , j President Suton referred to the ; ; enterprises, with which the Chamber of Commerce had been actively j ! identified dutiig the year, and ex- 1 1 , pressed his gratification over the | j success that had attended their ef- 1 'j forts. The two meetings held .lur-j j ing the summer a; the Yacht Club, j i quite -»n experiment in the line, 1 been remark lii'y well attended, j John E. Trout Chairman of the Committee on Building interests, j reported -nvt -he objective for which they had lor.g agitated, #ns | j near realization. Tiic committee I j petitioned the City Commis- ;

I sioners to revise the fire zone or- 1 dinanee, and make provision for) j the extension of the fire zone. An j i ordinance to that effect had been i drafted, Mr. Trout said, and would , probobly be presented for a first ' hearing at the next meeting of the , | Commissioners. | Mr. Sutton expressed his pleas- ' I ure over the information, remark- ! fng that the city would he in a 1 deploraLV situation, if a large Arc • j started with fire traps abounding ! j the most congested areas < A report was hesrd containing ; the information that the very handsome float, which represented ' ' the Chamber of Commerce in the 1 j Atlantic City Pageant, had ertail- j etl an expenditure of $225. j In all Ocean City was represent- j ; ed in the pageant by four artistic 4 ! or chairs, which through the ; offices of Director E. A. Corson, t I had been placed in front ef the t j procession, numbered 4,5,6 a.id 7. s ! Apropos of the pageant, an in- c ! cident with more than a touch of j i farcical-comedy arose, when Howj ard Slocum brought up the qucs- -j tior. of the gowns worn by Miss ,- | City on the occasion. Mr. R j Slocum stated that. Mrs. Slocum R been instructed to select the t : gowns, the bill tc be sent to the I of Commerce. ; The gowns had cost in the ag-

gregate the sum of $288.00. $100 r ' had been paid by some person, Mr. 0 Slocum could not say by whom, sjand a balance of $188 remained. " j Whereupon President E. M. But•t i ton registered a strong protest, r against persons incurring debt, and p assuming liabUities hrthe name of 1 the Chamb40R Commerce, with- , out authority. As President he s know nothing of the gowns, and » no person had been authorized to purchase them in the name of the , ' Chamber. Thv Chamber had voted r *250 towards the Fourth of July! i celebrations, and had paid its ohli- : gation. Now it transpires that a; ^ deficit of $250 remained, which ■ft-i-j was sought to saddle on the organ!- j . - tion without any warrant. They | I fulfilletl to the letter all they I ^ had contracted to do. He felt it an embarrassing position fdP ' . Slocum to be placed in, after ready and valuable assistance; ' the Chamber of Commerce was 1 { not in the remotest degree liable i > for the indebtedness. Several other members concurred : j with the Prsident. It was understood by some who spoke, that a J 'fund had IbjcH raised to meet alt ' expenses in connection with the representation In the pagednt, of \ Miss Ocesn City. i Elmer Jackson Peari stated that t ! his judgment the Ocean City ; Ledger whs lic'.'c The Ledger ( had undertaken i conduct the nfjf;ir.

The IjadgvT had assumed ; all responsiHii.'.';- and control in the J clio'ee of Miss Occ.in City, ar.d he , fei' therefore the liability rested ' 'there. Several others were heard { agree. J Ultimately Porsideni Sutton expressed himself willing to assume a the respontibiii'y on behaif of the h Chamber of Comma- ae, to the ex- it t tent of what remained owing for t!

f; the gowns, and no more; to which ' I r , the meeting assented. - j Mr Suton vohinteered the in- !•' ej formation that the Chamber uf'i e j Commerce at the ore sent time was I J in debt to the extent of $2,000. and ! ^ j its stock in the bridge company j i ( heavily mortgaged. , The sum of $135 v.-ns raisol byi| subscription at the meeting, to be j devoted toward liquidating the bill|f e for the gowns. ( 'l became known, prior to the , _ ! meeting, that a movement was on j i ! foot to invite the State Convention : ' j of the American Legion, to hold Its j : ' annual session for the year 1923 in | - Ocean City. J. K. Trout introduced , ■ ' ! the question, soliciting the coopera- 1 •• j tion of tite Chamber of Comm'erce r to that end. Mr. Trout will be one ! "jof the delegates representing the' ! j local Post, at the Convention being held this week in Lake Hopateorg,

• j and purposes to carry the invitar i tion. 1 Elmer Jackson Peari, supported; 1 ; Mr. Trout in his appeal to thei 1 Chamber, reminding the meeting ' that the securing of a -few large 5 conventions, was one of the objec- 1 lives towards which they had hecn . working for considerable time past. ! . The convention would brirg l>e-l , three and four thousand i . Legion aires into the city, repre- , senting. every section of the State, and be a means of advertisement _ and publicity without equal. President Sutton agreed with all I that had been said. Twenty years > , he stated, Atlantic City was . just what Ocean City is today. Through the enterprise and specu- i Iative spirit of its bdsiness men, it become the playground of the , ! world. He would be delighted to invite , 1 the American Legion, next year; | 1 desired to be assured of the , support of every Individual in the city. Other members participated , the debate, ami finally it was ( decided to invite the convention. Chamber of Commerce, the Commissioners, and other or- y gmnizations agreed to send tele- , to the S$ate Commander of the Legion to that effect. ^ Relative to the Street Improvement program, Mayort Joseph G. f

J" Champion volunteered the welcome information, that the Bor.rd of '• Commissioners were preparing air '• ordinance embracing an extensive scheme to be immediately put into execution.
