Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1901-10-31

Candidate Franklin Murphy said in his
speech last week, Wednesday, that he
was Republican because his father was
Republican. Carrying Mr.. Murphy's
admission little further, he is candi-
date for Governor because his Pa wanted
him to be, and if elected Governor would

The Executive Board of the New Jersey
Railroad Employees Protective Association
sent out letter on Tuesday, in which it
was predicted that Mayor James M. Sey-
mour will be the next Governor. The
letter in part is as follows: General re-
ports from the officers and members Of local
branches are most favorable, and the Gov
ernorship is all in favor of Mr.. Seymour,
and at a conservative estimate he will get
at least eighty per cent. of the railroad
vote of the State Never before III State
campaign have the workingmen of New
Jersey had candidate before them who
appealed to their united support to such an
extent as does Mr.. Seymour, and never
before have the toilers rallied to the sup
port of any one as they have to him. In
our opinion, based upon the reports we
have received from all over the State. Mr..
Seymour will sweep the State, but this is
no reason why our members should relin-
quish any effort to get out the full railroad
vote for our candidate, as we want to sur
prise the politicians in this campaign The
Executive Board feel very proud of the
work so far accomplished. We have carried
the work of organization through success
fully, and all we ask is the hearty support
of every member and officer in the work
yet before us between now and election
day.''

met a horrible death under the wheels
of a train at Bolton, Marshall county
Saturday. When first discovered by
his mother the body was lying across
a rail and a freight train was passing
over him, each wheel cutting through
the body. Although the sight was
shocking to the mother, she retained
her presence Of mind and made a des-
perate effort 10 pull the body from the
rail.
How the little fellow got under the
cars is not known. as he was not seen
until several cars had passed over him.
The train had been laying on a siding
and was just pulling out when the &C
cideht occurred. Life was extinct
when the body was picked up by the
mother. The unfortunate boy was the
son OF w. N. Savers, who is the B.. &

..The Game Keeper" a new Irish
play possessing a story OF absorbing
interest, telling a romance OF love and
adventure, interesting picturesque
types of character; climaxes that thrill,
lines bright and inspiring and q fresh
ness of vigor and vitality which rec
ommend it to all. 1t is the most con-
spicuous and enduring success OF the
season. Smith OBrien the clever sing

head of this combination, and as to MS
ability too much cannot be said. HIS
voice is better this year than 1t has
ever been, and as to his dancing, 1t IS
wonderful. He is ably assisted In his
different specialties by Miss Kitty
Coleman, and the clever Little BABY
Mildred. 1t will be seen at the Grand

w
Andrew Mack, who has been star
ring this season in '"The Rebel pre-
scented his former success An Irish
Gentleman" at the Opera House last
night for the first time this winter. 1t
is a charming Irish drama, not OF the
conventional type, with the villainous
SQUIRE and his nunchback tool, but a
dramatic tale of higher life with the
scenes laid in Ireland. It is a simple
story. without a complicated plot, but
it's simplicity makes it delightful, since
none of the characters are overdrawn.
There was a marked absence OF the a
tiness of French adaptations, and a
wholesome air prevails the entire three
acts. Mr.. Mack is easily the most
capable delineator of Irish character
seen in Wheeling this season. He is
easy, graceful, natural, and the role
of "Jack Shannon" is in his hands a
type of one of natures noblemen, as
expressed in the title Of the play. MI.
Mack's vocal numbers were veritable
gems. and he was heartily applauded,
while his dramatic work won for him
two most enthusiastic curtain calls.
Miss Fielding, Miss Lovett, MIR Deyo,
Mr.. Ince and Mr.. O'COnnor did ex-
cellent work. The company is unus-
ually strong, and the production ar
tistic in every sense of the word. Mr.
Mack has made an impression upon
Wheeling theatre-goers which will find
expression at the box Office whenever
he returns.

Frank keenan, In "a Poor Relation"
The attraction at the Opera House
next Monday night will be one OF
sterling merit, inasmuch as that "A
Poor Relation" was one Of Sol Smith
Russell's first winners, and as Noah
Vale" the poor inventor, Mr.. Russell
made his most artistic success. Mr..
Fred G. Berger, for thirty years, and
still Mr., Russell's manager, is sole
manager of "a Poor Relation" which
is ample guarantee of the superb cast
of players, and that careful and con-
scientious management which makes
possible a delightful performance
Henceforth Mr.. Russell will appear in
the larger cities, while Mr.. Frank Kee-
nan will appear in Mr.. RusselIs plays
in those towns where the famous come
dian will not appear. Mr.. Keenan's
triumph last season in this play argues
well his acceptance as a favorite the

great many people and they will be in worse

One hundred and fifty thousand applications have

coo people will draw blanks Having exhausted
their substance these latter must scramble for a
livelihood and the amount of suffering they will
experience can not be portrayed. The allotment
system, as now conducted seems radically at fault
and has many defects. 1t is a lottery pure and
simple and allures men and women to untold hard
ships to secure homes at a slight cost OF money but
at much personal risk. Again the practice of
opening an office and dishing out the allotments
might well be improved upon, and the necessity of
uurewarded travel for thousands of miles obviated.

the financial statements Of the two national banks
and two state banks published on the sixth page OF
this issue. The publication Of financial state
ments by state banks at this time OF year is some
thing new in their history, but is done in accord
ance with law passed by the last legislature
This law is fashioned after the national law on this
subject. The statements show our banks to be in
a very healthy condition and are strong testimo
mails of the great prosperity of city and county
They form an excellent text for good, strong ar.
gument in favor of republican principles and the
political party in power. They also show
how great is the confidence reposed by
the business public in the oficates and director.

The flooring Of the Glen Elk bridge is in very
bad shape. 1t is really dangerous. The county
court should lose no time in replacing it. There
are several big holes in it, through which horses are
likely to plung their feet any time. Damage suits
for broken horse legs might prove more costly
than new flo r. Better fix it at once. The fair
ground bridge side walk is in bad shape and should
be fixed before the fair.
