A barrel he calls money
He calls the sky" a ''pole!'
He tells you that a whip is lust

AsBURY. PARK, June II, 1905
The Asbury Park Carnival commission
is rapidly outlining the great mid-sum-
mer baby parade and carnival, which, if
the plans are fully carried out, will sur
pass in its chaste and artistic completion
every previous similar fete in the history
Of the city. Not that the carnival of last
year did not represent in its conception
the best thoughts of a capable and expe.
rienced committee, but, with the knowl-
edge cleaned from past mistakes and
past triumnhs, the new committee be-
lieves that it is better equipped to han
die and maneuver the carnivalsof 1905.
The coronation bali is fixed for August
%. The event will be held in the Beach
auritorium and while many of the strik-
ing features of last year will be retained,
it is proposed to strengthen the queens
entertainment and give to the affair

Jacob Ringle really thinks he had
something to do with bringing about the
party lenders decision. How foolish Of
him. The men who are responsible for
the ending OF hostilities are George n.
Mccarthy and John G Kaiser. Col.
Dickinson did not surrender because he
feared defeat at the primaries There
wasn't a chance of the Faganits elect
ing more than a handful of delegates.
The Colonel is interested in Mr.. Kaiser's
candidacy for Sheriff. He concluded after
consulting his loyal lieutenants, men
whom he could count on to stand with
him. no matter what the political con-
ditions, that the tulning-down of Pagan
would impair Kaiser's chances of sue
cess. 1t was in Kaiser's interests that
he abandoned the fight against the
Mayor. The CoIonel's opinion of Mayor
Fagan and Corporation Counsel Record
is the same now as it was at the be-
ginning of the fight. He has no love for
either and it is doubtful if he could be
induced to meet or talk with either Of
them. Collector Fry and the other man
ayers of the campaign are in a joyful
mood They viii not be 50 happy the
night of the election.
