POLITICAL STRAWS
BLOWING AROUND,

Next Thursday, in the W. @. 7. U.
building over in Millville, the Repub.
licans of Cumberland county will re-
nominate Assemblyman Louis H.
Miller, of Vineland, for a second
term, and a successor will be named
to Hon. William J. Moore, of this
city, who has three times been hon.
ored by his party and the people.
Who that successor will be is some
what problematical. From present
indications, the well informed people
in politics say, the Convention will
not decide that question until after
due deliberation, and considering
what will be for the best interests of
the people and party.
Millyille will offer for the consider
alton of the Convention, the name of
Frank s. Buck, a young MiIlville
newspaper man, who has figured
somewhat prominently in political
affairs in recent years. He has several
times made speeches in County Con-
ventions and has considerable orator.
cal ability. The MilIyille leaders
agree that Buck will have all of the
Millville delegates.
Assemblyman Moore is willing to
be candidate for fourth term, and
it is quite likely that the First ward
will send delegates to Millville who
will present his name to the conven-
tion. 1t is not known, at this time,
whether or not Mr.. Moore will have
delegates in any other ward rim the
city.
Friends of John H. Morris, the
former Under Sheriff, will likely pre-
sent to the Convention the name of
that gentleman for consideration,
delegates for him having been ar
ranged in the Third ward, and there
may possibly be delegates for him in
other wards
There does not seem to be any can
didates from the townships so for an
nounced, but it may be that the Con-
vention will deem it wise to look in
that direction for a standard bearer.
The Convention will undoubtedly
prove very pleasing one and there
will be genuine Republican interest
shown. The party throughout the
county is firmly united and ready for
active campaigning, and will give
splendid majorities for all the candi-
dates from Congressman Gardner to
the candidate for Coroner.
There will be a generous breathing
spell between the Assembly and Coun-
ty Convention. Under the rules of
the party the Convention cannot be
held until the fifteenth of September,
and it is not likely to be called for a
couple of weeks after that. The mu-
nioipal primaries will follow shortly
after that giving about a month of
active campaign work. It is not un-
likely that there will be couple of
earnest mass meetings in Bridgeton
There will likely be municipal mass
meeting and a Congressional and
County Meeting to be addressed by
prominent speakers, well known in
National affairs.

Mrs. VIM. Govier died at her home
in Mt. Ida Thursday morning of last
week, aged eighty-two years. De-
ceased was an early settler in Grant
county, locating here in 1856. Her
demise was unexpected, having been
ill but brief time. Congestion of the
lungs was the malady. A husband
and eight children survive. Funeral
services were held at Mt. Zion church
Sunday and were largely attended.
ELIZA STEWART.
Mrs. Eliza Stewart, beloved wife of
George Stewart, passed away at the
family residence in Lancaster Tues
day morning after an illness
OF year or more. Deceased

early became resident of America.
With her husband she came to Lam
caster and located about forty-fve
years ago, and had continuously lived
here. Besides the aged husband, five

JOHN FAwCETT.
The sad news was received here last
Monday afternoon announcing the
death of John Fawcett, ex-sheriff of
Grant county, which occurred at his
home in Little Grant at 1:3O p. m. of
that dayk Death was due to diabetes,
from which he had been sufferer for
number of years. While his demise
occasioned no surprise among his
friends..who were acquainted with his
condition, still it grieved them to hear
of his death. The end came peaceful
ly. Surrounded by every member of
his family and sympathizing friends
and neighbors he gently passed
him from all earthly suffering.
But few men were more widely
known or highly esteemed in Grant
county than John Fawcett and many
tears will mingle with those shed by
loving relatives for he was good
man. Possessing but few faults, gen.
ial and cheerful, though retiring and
home-loving in his tastes, he made
friend of every acquaintance. Upright
and honorable in business, he won the
respect of all with whom he dealt.
Whole souled and charitable, he had a
good word for everyone, seeing virtues
where others could find nothing but
faults.
Deceased was born in England in
1916 and came to America with his
parents when eight years of age. On
Nov. %, 1875, he was united in marriage
at Platteville to the widow who now
survives him and one who always was
to him an amiable and loving help
mate. During his illness she was ever
caring for him tenderly, cheering him
with her bright manner and encourag-
ing words even when her heart was
heavy with sorrow. In her wifely de-
votion he always found an unfailing
staff.
John Fawcett was called upon to fill
many positions of trust at the hands
of his party. Constable and deputy
sheriff for long term of years, he was
later chosen to fill the office of sheriff
