The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1902-10-07

HARMONY was the watchword on Satur
and it was no empty sound, either. The
political conventions of the Republican
party moved with smoothness thai
speaks well for the condition of affairs In
that organization. The conventions die
good work, and the results next month
will be quite satisfactory.
Joseph G. Bower was named for Sheriff
There is no need of introducing him. He
has been before other conventions and ha,
smilingly accepted the decision of his fell
low Republicans when told to wait little
longer. His day has at last arrived, and
we congratulate him upon the enthusiastic
manner in which he was placed at the
head of the ticket His canvass will be
on the same order. Wherever he goes he
will be cordially received by his old
friends and will make many new acquaint
ancss. His genial nature wins the hearts
of all. He is not man who is all on the
outside He has heart as big as himself,
and has ever been ready to aid the needy
at all times. If he has ever had a fault il
certainly has not been that of meanness OF
of turning deaf ear to the entreaties OF
those worthy Of aid. He has been gener-
GUS TO fault. Joe Bower will make a
run that will be record breaker, and
when elected he will make a Sheriff OF
whom the people of Burlington county
will be proud.
John g. Horner was again nominated
for the Office of Member of Assembly. He
was named by acclamation-a deserved
tribute to the honorable services rendered
his party by faithful officer. John Hor.

ture. There were many important meas.
ures to be looked after and he devoted his
time to them. AS leader of the House he
was respected by both parties for his cour-
teous acts and for the fair manner In
which he treated all who sought him. In
the contests for the two important Offices
W hich created so much interest John Hor-
ner learned the desires of the people of
Burlington county. Having thus informed
himself he stood firm to see that those
wishes were respected. Personal ambition
cutsnO figure with him in those instances;
he was loyal to what he considered to be
his duty. That has been his record. and
it is one to be proud Of
The successor to Charles Wright is
Benjamin ID. Shedaker, OF Burlington
township. He has been In the field more
than once, and has gracefully accepted the
will of the people when they have decided
against him. He is farmer and is per
fectly qualified to represent the agricul-
tural interests of the county. But he will
not be class representative, by any means
He has the ability and the disposition to
give intelligent attention to any subject
presented and he may be depended upon
to be legislator for the people
William w. Worrell was renominated
for Auditor. For two years he has served
the county in this position which is one of
the most important in the county. The
best recommendation he has Is that he has
caused some enmity because he has refused
to stamp with his approval some bills that
he felt were not just. That Ia the kind Of
man Burlington county needs at the door
of its treasury, and we feel certain there
will not be any fault found with Auditor
Worrel because he has had the courage of
his convictions and has done his duty in
the face of the fact that he was displeas
ing large number who sometimes make
themselves felt in the election of delegates.
William Grobler, of Chester, and B.
Frank Ridgway, of New Hanover, were
given the nomination for the important
office of coroner. Both men are well fitted
for the office and will do their duty.
The ticket is strong one. The selec-
tons could not have been better. From
this time on every voter of Burlington
county should make it his especial duty
to aid in the election of the men named.
The ticket is not one which appeals only
to the partisan. 1t is one which can be
conscientiously supported by all irrespec-
tive of political creed Each nominee is
clean and worthy of support
