been discharged from Jail Jan. oath,
was brought before Justice Croxson
and committed to jail to await the
action of the Grand Jury, on a
charge of stealing a ticket for Long

would be unable to get to Long
Branch with it unless It was stamped.
He waited around the station until
Dobbins had gone out and then asked
Harry Brown, Mr.. Dobbins' errand
boy, to stamp it. The boy refused
to stamp the ticket and at once mott
fed Mr.. Dobbins. Kline when asked
where he had gotten the ticket re-
piled, THAT it was given to him by
fellow by the name of VIM. Webb, y
and upon being asked where Webb
lived, said that he lived at Blue
Ball. Mr.. Dobbins sent Harry
Brown to inquire who Webb was, he
met Harry L. Applegate who inform.

plegate went to the station and there
after short race captured Kline and
with great difficulty took him to the

The Sprina Elections.

Already the candidates Tor tne
Spring elections are being announc'
ed. We have always urged upon the
different townships the advisablllty
of having Republican ticket noml-
mated in each township in the Coun
tv as the Republicans have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by
such a course. Acceptable men to
the independent voters should be
named and only those capable OF tili-
ing the offices should be selected as
candidates. Last Fall the Repubh-
can party had a glorious victory and
one of the secrets of the success OF
the candidates was the fact that
every one had confidence in them.
They knew they could be trusted
and therefore they gave them their
votes. In some townships 1t might
be advisable to nominate q union
ticket. composed of candidates from
the Citizens League, and they should
be the very best men that could be
named. Under the present ballot
reform law money is not such a
potent factor in elections as former
lv. the last election proving without
a doubt that the best element OF
both parties when they get together
can be victorious. Taxpayers are
commencing to realize the fact that
while the November election may
have great influence in shaping the
affairs of the State and country gov
ernments, tbs the Spring election that
appeals directly to their pocket
books, as it is the latter ticket which
either adds or lessons the burdens
of county and township taxation,
lust as the whim or extravaganza OF
those elected may dictate. 1t is
therefore absolutely necessary to
have the best men to fill the impor-
tant positions on the township ticket.
We should nominate honest, manly,
economical men, who would always
vote to decrease rather than increase
the burdens of taxation. In some
townships new set of officers is
badly needed and to remove the in
competent ones would be better for
the tax payers of the township and
greatly elevate the standard of the
men occupying township positions.
We would suggest that the Repub-
ican County Executive Committee
be convened at an early date and
make arrangements for an aggressive
fight all along the line. They should
give especial attention to the matter
of the election of Freeholders and
try to induce the most prominent
men of the party in the respective
townships to run for this very
important office. If a majority OF
the townships were carried it would
give US the County CollectorshiI
with salary of $4,000, besides several
minor positions. Republicans, it is
worth fighting for. Let us make
the effort
