WHO THE CANDIDATES ARE
Edgar F. Dell. the Democratic candidate
for Mayor, has been a resident of the city
for many years, and is one of its most
progressive citizens. He just completed a
four years, term as post master, and became
a candidate of his.party for Chief Execu-
tive of the city only at the earnest So
licitation of the Delegates to the Demo-
cratic City Convention.
w. A. Martinez, the Democratic candi
date for City Collector, is an active young
man in the grocery business on Cooper
street. He is a hustling, up-to-date citi-
zen, scholar, good accountant, can speak
and write fourteen languages, and if
elected will make an efficient official
Thomas H. Andrews and John L Lad
ner for OYerseers of Poor, are both Wood
bnriaus, we'll known to all citizens. They
are honorable men, and the worthy
poor would have no hesitancy in going to
them and stating their needs
Charles Geitz, James Park and John G.
WhitalI, the nominees for Commissioners
of Appeal. are all property owners, and
level headed Democrats. They know some
thing about property values, and are men
of good business discrimination.
John g. Herman, the First Ward candi-
date for Council, is proprietor of Columbia
hotel. As candidate for City Marshal
few years ago. he came within half dozen
votes of overcoming the 200 Republican
majority in the city, and nobody would be
surprised if he should be elected Council
man from the First Ward next Tuesday.
Charles Picard, the Councilmanic candi-
date in the Second Ward, is master
mechanic in Blasius Piano Company, and
resides in the former A. S. Barber residence
on Broad street. He is a man of high
character, good business ability, public
spirited, and if there is a disposition to
inject new blood in our City Council, his
nomination affords the voters OF the
Second Ward an opportunity to be pioneers
in the movement.
The nomination OF Edward P. Henry in
the Third Ward IS an invitation to every
good citizen to vote on Tuesday next 1t
is such men as Mr. Henry who are an
honor to every community, and when they
can be prevailed on to accept nomination for
public position of this character, c0nsidera-
tions of city pride and public interest
should outweigh all other considerations,
and at this particular iuncture, principles
that are the foundation of popular govern
ment, will be vindicated in this election.
For Justice Of the Peace Mr.. F. W..
Bake is named. He is a young man Of
good character, even temper, possessed of
good judgment, and if elected will hold the
scales Of Justice even. Vote for him.
THE REPUBLICAN TICKET
The Republican nominees on the City
Ticket are all present officials and are we'll
known to all the people. The only changes
are in the ward tickets In the First Ward,
S. B. Munyan, the candidate for Council is
grocer, and is the proposed successor to
Harry Glading Mr.. SharpIey and Mr..
Barnaby will succeed themselves as Free
holder and Justice respectively.
Mr.. Batten, the nominee for Council in
the Second Ward, is the proprietor of the
famous Evergreen Hall boarding house at
Cooper street and Evergreen avenue. He
has been chairman of the Street COM
mittee the past year, and the brick bats
that yet line the side walks on Broad street,
where they have reposed since the improve
ment of the street, are mute reminders that
Mr. Batten has done something, but not
everything, that be should have done.
Dr. George Evans Reading is not the
deliberate choice of the Republicans OF the
Third Ward for Council, at least we are
not yet prepared to believe he is. He was
public servant of the city for five years,
and that service was not at all commend
able to himself or the city. 1t seems to us
that thorough performance of our duty to
this people does not require republication
at this time of the facts revealed by an
investigation of the city finances by the
Finance committee of City Council and an
expert accountant They constitute dis
graceful page in the history of Woodbury.
and the remarkable feature of his candi-
dacy is, that he asks the tax payers of the
Third Ward to condone it by electing him
to City Council.
Adon w. Cattell, Sr., the Republican
candidate for Justice Of the Peace, is an
aged citizen. well and favorably known to
every voter.
GOOD CITIZENSHIP
Gov. Roosevelt in his Newburg N. Y. speech.
If tie men who are decent in their home
lives and upright in their business relations
won't take the trouble to see that the same
principles of honest and square dealing
obtain in politics that do in private life,
they are themselves to blame for whatever
is corrupt and debasing in our government
