Gardner VS., Loudenslager.

Congressman Gardeners district, like
that of Congressman Loudenslager, has
large agricultural and dairy interests. Mr..
Gardner himself is practical farmer and
dairyman. He was an enthusiastic sup
porter of the Grout bill, while Mr.. Lou
denslager worked and voted against it.
The farmers and dairymen were unani-
nous in demanding the passage of the
Grout bill; the Oleomargarine Trust spent
money like water to defeat it.
With these facts in mind, it is not
surprising that the farmers were enthu-
siastic supporters of Congressman Gardiner
at the congressional convention at Cape
May on Thurday; nor is it surprising that
there is strong opposition to Congressman
Loudenslager among the farmers of this
district.

Election, Tuesday, November 4.

Thomas M. Terrell, whose name stands
on the Democratic ticket as the candidate
for Senator, is not stranger in any section
of our county.
There is fitness and regard for the inter-
ests of the county in naming personality
of Mr.. Ferrell's character, legislative ex-
perience and devotion to the public's well
fare for this office. 1t is due the people
that the candidate of one of the great
political parties for this Office be a man
whom the people have assurance of some
legislative benefit.
The times demand men of legislative in
stincts-knowledge of the public needs and
faculties tuned to their accomplishment.
Gloucester county's seat in the Senate
ought not to be merely a roosting place for
persons ambitious for notoriety and free
railroad transportation. For the salary
paid, the people should realize some return,
and as the case stands, they must get this
from either w. K. Robson, the Republican
candidate, or Thomas NJ Terrell, the Demo
cratic candidate.
Mr.. Terrell has proved both his capacity
for legislative duty and his interest in the
general welfare of the people. They know
of his exalted purpose, his clean life, his
upright daily walk, his dignifed bearing,
and they know that results beneficial to the
entire county would follow his election.

JOHN M. TAGGART.

Had the Democratic Convention searched
the county over for an eligible candidate foI
Assembly it is doubtful if they could have
selected name or personality more suited
to the needs of the hour than Honest John
Taggart. All his life a farmer, one of the
first to see the needs of effective organiza
tion to promote the interests Of his fellow
workers he early enlisted in their cause,
and by the force of his high character and
intellect has been advanced to the third
office in that peerless organization, the
State Grange, being its Chaplain. His
papers on subjects pertaining to the welfare
of the business of agriculture are models of
diction, clearness and forcefulness of ex-
preston, and soundness of logic. The
action of the State Grange in directing its
legislative committee to push the project
of extending to trolley roads the right to
carry freight was due largely to the thought
and influence of Mr.. Taggart. Aside from
his intellectual strength, Mr.. Taggart is no
hating orator, and if elected to the legisa-
ture the farmers and toilers of our county
would have an advocate as we'll as a
staunch and true friend in the legislature

The greatest bred Stallion ever
located in New Jersey, and with
more natural speed.

Bay horse one inch short of 16 hands, weighs
1,l00 lbs, foaled August %, 1891. Bred by Count
Valensin, Pleasanton, Alameda Co., California
Sire: Sidney ALTO; record. 2.1954. Dam: Dell
Foster by A. W. Richmond, I6s7; second dam;
daughter of George NJ PatcheH, Jr., 81; record
2.27.
Now is the time to breed, as there is very
promising outlook for breeders OF good horses,
as wel-bred horses are always in demand at
fancy prices 1t is the horse smooth at all gaits
and that carries himself like gentleman and
who is balanced at all rates OF speed that is COM
ing in vogue. II you raise a colt raise one that
the people want the later in the season the colt
better for the colt to come after fly time. Work
does not injure the mare or colt, in fact it is
beneficial, but Judgment must be used. Go
long way to avoid dung~hill sire Don't raise
q colt from grade or dung-hill sire IL you
have it as gift. 1t viii make you dollars
poorer for you never get for it what it will
cost to raise it. 1t will be misfit on the farm
and will have no place in the market. Select
sire of pure blood. The market is getting more
particular every day about looks and style of a
horse. Even truck horses must be handsome
to bring good prices.

agree to print his photograph next week
Mr.. Sickler knows everybody and every

he would make an elegant County Clerk,
and before election day they will know that
he is making great effort to be elected
Mr.. Sickler is a Counsellor and the
professional attainments that go with that
title settle beyond question his fitness for
the office While in no sense a candidate
for the Office before the Convention, Mr.
Sickler has accepted the trust, and taken
I'M the burden of the canvass. Before
election day he viii present his compli-
ments to every voter, and solicit their
votes. He is worthy of and will receive
the vote of every member of his party, and
the hundreds of Republicans who have had
their backs crushed in with Franks slaps
and bangs will find in Mr.. Sickler's candi-
dacy the rest they so earnestly crave.

VIOLENT DEATH OF GEO. SIMPSON.
George Simpson, of Philadelphia, has
been spending some time with his sister,
Mrs Elizabeth Peterson, who resides di-
rectIy in front of the railroad station. On
Tuesday morning he started for Phila. to
seek work at his trade, tailoring. He had
to wait on the east platform while freight
train passed and did not hear the approach
ing train which leaves GlassborO at Z. 80,
but does not stop here during the winter
schedule. He evidently undertook to cross
over to get his ticket just as the engine
came opposite him, and was struck either
by the rear of the locomotive or the baggage
car. He was thrown in the air, and his
body severely mangled, especially about
the head. His body was taken to under
taker Shreves' establishment at Glass
boro and the inquest was held on Wednes-
day. His sister was standing in the door
way of her home and saw his body hurled
in the air. In recent years she has buried
her husband, mother and two sons, and has
been in poor health for some time, and it is
not surprising that this new affection has
Frustrated her and unbalanced her mind
It is a coincidence that the only person
ever killed directly at the station before
was Mr.. Drake who also lived in front of
the station in the property adjoining Mrs.
Peterson's and was killed in manner
almost identical with Tuesdays tragedy.

The widely advertised conference between
the President, the railway presidents and
the representatives of the striking coal
miners has passed into history and without
apparent beneficial results. President
Roosevelt made vigorous and eloquent
appeal to both parties to sink their differ
ences for the common good of humanity
which must inevitably suffer serious hard
ship as a result of further prolongation of
the strike. President Mitchell, of the
Mine Workers. Union, promptly replied
with proposition to submit all differences
to tribunal to be appointed by the Presi-
dent his men to go to work Immediately
and to abide by the decision Of that tribu-
nal for period of from one to five years as
the tribunal might direct. As was to have
been expected from the autocratic state
ments of the operators in the past, they
refused to recognize Mr.. Mitchell or to
consider his proposition. Their one end is
to crush the union and nothing short of that
will content them. They pictured, in lurid
terms, the violence which has accompani-
ed the strike and blamed the Union for it,
although it is we'll known that in every
instance the union and its president have
deplored the violence and, in so far as
possible. have restrained the members.
Needless to say, the President was sorely
disappointed at the failure of his efforts.
1t is now predicted that the President
will take more drastic measures to end the
strike, and will possibly call Congress in
special session. Just what Congress will be
asked to do. if so called, is not made clear.
The operators. although constituting COM
bine in violation of the law, are the abso-
Lutte owners of the coal mines, and it is
questionable if, under the law, Congress
can enact legislation which will effect the
case. The one weak point in the Presi-
dents argument was the fact that Governor
Stone had failed to preserve order in the
coal districts, for that enabled the opera
tors to intimate that the government was
in the same position as the strikers. Presi-
dent Baer practically told the President
that he had interferred in a matter that
was none of his business, and President
Olyphant sent representative instead OF
coming himself to the conference, while
President Cassett, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, ignored Mr.. Roosevelt's invita-
ton to be present.
