The people of Burlington county owe ii
to John j. Gardner to give him a substan.
tlal vote. In many ways he has favored
us, especially in the matter of free rural
delivery of mails, a system that even the
burlington County Democrat has a good
word for and says it has come to stay. y
New Jersey has followed the rule of
other states and decided it was a good
custom to return members as long as they
gave satisfaction. AS result the Second
District of New Jersey has gained an en-
viable prominence at Washington, and
Mr.. Gardner is valuable and influential
representative. Vote for him. Do moi
be deluded or beguiled into deserving him
for any other candidate now pitted against
him. Mr.. Gardner is all right, the prin
ciples of his party are all right, the plat
form he is on is all right Nothing the
other fellows offer can equal anything We
have to give. Stand by Congressman
Gardner.

The BURLINGTON Gazette, generally fair
in its dealings, has been very severe in its
criticism on the action of County Clerk in
refusing to file the list of Democratic
candidates for city offices in Burlington.
The editors of the Gazette (there appear
to be two of them according to the head
ing on the paper denounce the clerk as
unfair, +" wants to be the whole push, -
and other like phrases All this is unfair,
unjust and unmanly. One branch of the
editorial department of the Gazette has
been on the bench as lay judge of this
county and he knows that laws must be
obeyed. The medical branch of the news
paper would not like it particle if some
one should accuse him of being an ignor-
anus He has been a lecturer, and has
appeared before audiences as one emf
nently fitted to tell who should and who
should not marry-a very important sub
jeet, yet the medical editor never for a
moment doubted he was the man to de-
eide the point. Hence one would natural
ly suppose he would, in giving an opinion
on any other subject. speak authoritative
| ly and with knowledge aforethought.
Here is what this pair say: ''The law is
exactly the same as it was when nomina-
tions were filed with the City Clerk, who
only required nominations to be filed eight
days before election" This announce
m lent is either the result of righteousness
or ignorance. The law says: eau certiti-
Gates and petitions naming candidates :
- to be voted for on the county ticket,
shall be filed with the clerks of the re-
spective counties wherein the officers
nominated are to be voted for, at least ten
days prior to such election" That is
plain language. The ten days expired Oh
Saturday, October 25. The Clerk had nc
option in the matter. The Gazette says he
took the certificate on eight days notice
last year. Well, suppose he did. If he
erred then. is there any reason why he
should continue to do sol 1t was the
duty of the Democrats of Burlington to
know the law, and some of them were in
formed what would be likely to happen if
they delayed. But it looks as if they
acted as they did Intentionally Perhaps
the men at the helm wanted to show
"they were the whole push" The
County Clerk has settled the matter by
deciding to have the tickets printed and if
there is any contest later, let the courts
settle it. Even for this the Gazette is not
giving him any credit, but sneers at him
with uncomplimentary remarks about his
action. County Clerk Warrick did his
duty and instead of being derided and
blackguarded should be praised. If the
editors-legal and medical-of the Gazette
were ignorant they might be excused; as
it is they should be ashamed at the arti-
Giles they have printed, even though they
may have intended to benefit the free-sil-
yer Democracy wing which they are sup
posed to be in charge of in the city of
Burlington.
