Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1901-10-24
OUR TICKET.

The Democratic State, county and city
tickets are now complete and appear at the
head of this column.
JAMES NJ. SEYMOUR was known to our
people, by reputation, long before his nomi-
nation for the great office of Governor
now yery many of them have met him face
to face, felt the strong grasp Of his hand,
heard his sincere utterances and pledge Of
fidelity to their interests and felt the mag
netism of his presence. If there ever was
a doubt Of his worthiness for this great
Office, of the sincerity of his professions OF
loyalty to public trust and his staunchness
of character, it has been removed by his
mere presence. 1t has always been some
what of a mystery as to how this man
should, thrice, at intervals of two years,
have succeeded in securing the overwhelm-
ing endorsement of the people of his city
for the Chief Magistraey; city that gives
Republican majorities ranging from 5000
to 1900.
The mystery is somewhat revealed: He
is devoted to the interests of the people
he Is the friend of the people; he guards
the property interests of the rich and poor
in the discharge of his important duties he
has no friends to reward through laxness
of administration. As an employer of labor
he is just and generous. AS he said in his
speech in Woodbury. Monday night, in
mailing a story that he employed non-union
labor and they were now on strike, that
Gin his thirty years business experience he
had never had strike in his shops and his
laborers were all union men,"
These are some of the reasons for James
M. Seymour's popularity in Newark and
they constitute character in which the
people confide their important interests
with no misgivings or fear of betrayal.
James M. Seymour is strong, brave and
alert, competent and resourceful, and to the
Democracy of New Jersey is the twentieth
century counterpart of Joel Parker and
Leon Albeit. To his election the Democ
racy Of the State, aided by thousands o.
Republicans, is bending its best effort witt
every assurance of success, and in the grand
triumph we are sure Gloucester county will
count nobly.
BOWMAN S. Cox, our Assembly candi
date, is an earnest, up-to-date business
man. He is not an office seeker; indeed
he has been able, until now, to avoid all
calls to public preferInent. He is Glou
cester county man, born and bred; he has
titled Gloucester county soil and hi,
business relations extend to every town
ship and almost every farmer in the county
He knows the public needs of the people a
few men know them and be has the courage
and ability to stand for and speak for them
He would make an ideal representative o
this county in the legislative halls of thu
State.
DIR. c. FRANK FISHER, the candidate fo
Coroner, is qualified in every way to per
form the duties OF that Office with economy
to the taxpayers.

Stricken with Paralysis.

Henderson Grimett, of this place, was
stricken with partial paralysis and COM
pletely lost the use of one arm and side.
After being treated by an eminent physician
for quite while without relief, my wife
recommended Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
and after using two bottles of it he is almost
entirely cured. Geo. R. MCDONALD, Man,
Logan county, West Va. Several
other very remarkable cures of partial
paralysis have been effected by the use Of
this liniment. 1t is most widely known,
however, as cure for rheumatism, sprains

We thank civil war veteran for a copy
of letter addressed to him by Silas w.
Volk, President of War Veterans Associa-
ton, soliciting his support of Comrade
Murphy in this canvass. 1t is very
pretty letter, printed on fine paper, but its
political animus is apparent in every line,
and it is partially important for what il
does not say. Candidate Seymour was a
man behind the guns during shat great
conflict. He was one of five men in the
United States at that period competent to
superintend the manufacture Of RIFLES, and
was sent to the Boston ordnance works for
that purpose. There he raised company,
but the Governor Of Massachusetts refused
to permit him to accompany it TO the front
because his services were more important
there than in the field. But Silas W.
Volk says nothing about this service, mol
has he ever interested himself in the politi-
cal preferment of Democratic veterans

We believe in the rigid enforcement Of
the child labor legislation. The open and
ayowed failure Of Republican officials to
execute these salutary laws is notorious
These laws were enacted by Democratic
legislatures for the benefit Of the children
Of the State and should be efficiently en-
forced.

THE IRRIGATION LAWS
Motion in Supreme Court for Rahearing
on Riparian Rights.
EFFECTS or A RECENT DEClsIOr
State Military Board VIII Recommend
Adoption of n New COde-A Count OF
the Cash In the State Treasury-Var-
ious Other Matters in Nebraska.

LINCOLN, Neb., JAM IA motion
for rehearing has been fled with the
supreme court in the suit involving
the irrigation laws Of the state. Four
weeks ago the supreme court held to
the old English common law in the
matter of riparian rights and thereby
undermined the irrigation OF the en-
I tire state, the only resource Of owners
of thousands and thousands or arid
acres in western Nebraska.
Briefly stated, the courts opinion
held that a property owner along the
banks of a stream has the right to
use of that water undiminished In
quantity and undiluted in quality, so
far as property owners further down
the stream are concerned. AS the tap
ping of streams and drawing of OF
water for irrigation purposes dimin-'
ished the quantity in the stream, all
attempts at irrigation would be un-
lawful according to this interpreta-
tion.
Several attorneys of the western por-
ton of the state have interested
themselves in the case because of the
vast interests involved and the wide
sweeping effect of the courts annoAnc-
ed decision of allowed to stand. Th6y
have united in brief in suporpt or
the motion for rehearing, and in this
they argue that there is not single
precedent in Nebraska to support the
courts opinion.

State Military Board.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. THE state
military board, consisting of Adjutant
General Barry and Colonels Hayward
and Killian, met and decided to rec
ommend to the legislature the adop-
ton Of new military code for the
government of the National Guard of
the state. The proposed law conforms
to the national army bill, but does not
contain changes which will materially
ahect the militia forces. According
to its terms, the strngth of companies
VIII be limited to sixty-f1ve men each.
In this one respect the law differs
from the national bill, which was de-
signed for an army on war footing.

law and General George Thomas, to be
replaced by Generals R. e. Lee and
ssonewall Jackson. Brownlow was the
