PHILLIP M'G0vERH.

The young element of the Democratic
party had a say in the selection OF a
didates in the Fifth ward this year. They
agreed upon Phillip McGovern as their
nominee for Freebooter. In selecting him
they believed they named the most pon1-
lar young Democrat in the ward and no
one mas as yet been found who disputes
that fact. The ward is largely Demo-
cratic and Mr.. McGovern's election is one
OF the sure things of the coming struggle.
Philip McGoyern was born In what is
now the Fifth ward. That locality has
always suited him and still suits him "a
such an extent that he has bought a
hpme there. He is a well educated,
courteous young man. He attended the
public schools first and concluded his
education In Hasbrouck Institute. His
hrst position was a clerical one in a New
York banking house. BY strict attention
to business he was rewarded with rand
advancement. BY observing the strict
rules Of economy he managed to lay aside
a sufficient sum of money to enable him
to start In business for himself. He is

After his graduation he obtained a po-
sition as clerk in a New York real es-
tate firm, where he learned the business
thoroughly. Being interested IN politics

at that upon attaining his majority he
should enter into the political field

which he lives showed their appreciation

nation for Freebooter and they will still
further prove their friendship by giving
him q very large majority on Election

the fines road in the United States. four
teen miles long, a hundred feet wide and
having a bed of solid stone eighteen
inches deep. This is a road which. like
the great military roads of the Romans
may still be the admiration of ages when
the names of the builders have been OBJ
liberated from the memory of man.
Then there are the two great Dads lead

Turnpike, which in spite of the constant
and heavy traffic over 1t is in magnificent
condition always, and the road running
to Snake Hill and branching off to on

This is anether splendid causeway and
this year it has all been recovered with
crushed stone. at practically no expense
to the taxpayers. and rolled and leyeled
until it is impossible to find any road to
beat 1T about New York.
Now for these roads, the Democratic
Party is entitled 10 the entire credit. They
have been built and improved and main-

their Democratic employees. they are
a monument to Democratic efficiency.
