Simpson Raps wi1des.

Lawyer Spencer Simpson, of Riverton,
who took prominent part as a Colbyite
( in the primary fight in this county, is out
with strong letter denouncing the indie
pendent move by George Wildes Mr..
Simpsons letter is as follows:
Chairman Republican County Commit
tee, of Burlington County.
Dear Sir:-I notice in the newspapers
that Mr. George Wildes has filed nomina-
ton papers for the Senator-ship of our
county and has announced his intention of
running independently.
"The fight for the nomination was fairly
conducted, and the voters decided in favor
of Mr.. Robbins. am therefore somewhat
puzzled at the attitude of Mr.. Wildes.
The Lincoln League of the Republican
party of Burlington county in its platform
states that its object is to make the fight
at the primaries. l do not think this is
to refuse to support the ticket. We are
Republicans first, and politicians second
arily, because severy one must realize that
every party to accomplish anything must
have organization, otherwise it is only
rabble like the Democratic party at the
present time.
If it is the intention OF purpose of Mr.
Wildes to try to get away from the Re-
publican party enough votes to allow the
Democrats to elect Senator for Burling
ton county, think the sooner all Repub-
licans irrespective of personal differences
get alive to this fact and put their shout
ders to the wheel to prevent it.
The majority Of the people, seeing the
wisdom of protective tariff are In favor
of the party which stands for it, but on a
side issue of persons VS.. principles the
good of the greatest number is to be made
subservient TO personal ambition and de-
sires. if this movement proceeds.
''As one who loves fight and is always
ready to get into one, think it my duty
to say to you that having been trounced
at the primaries every member of the
Lincoln League of the Republican party
of Burlington county ought to turn in,
work for and vote for the ticket, to which |
there cannot be any good or valid objec
ton; it is composed of men of high stand |
ing and integrity.
Everybody in Burlington county
knows Sam Robbins and what he stands
for and that he will do the best for the
people as he sees it.
Respectfully,
SPENCER SIMPSON.

Political Notes

The Burlington County Republican
Committee organized on Saturday by
electing Harry l.. Knight of Medford,
chairman; Charles r. Fenton, Northamp-
ton, secretary; John K. Mallory, Burling-
ton, treasurer.
The Ocean County Democrats Saturday
afternoon nominated Captain George @.
Warren, of Barnegat, for the Assembly.
Captain Warren, who claims to be an in
dependent Republican, was elected last
year on the Democratic ticket, but voted
with the Republicans in the Legislature
Reports from Moorestown say that Ar
thur j. Collins, Democratic candidate for
state senator, Is q Prohibitionist If this
10 correct 1t ia the first time in its existence
the Democratic party has ever shown
symptoms of that character by endorsing
one Of that faith
Arthur j. Collins blasted the hopes of
several Democrats by accepting the nomi-
nation for State Senator The members of
the party who wished George Wildes on
the ticket expected Mr.. Collins to decline.
Then the committee to fill vacancies, APP
pointed for the purpose, would place
Wildes on the ticket. But Collins got the
bee in his bonnet and he is going to stand.
Some of the Democrats think that lack
of experience" on the part of their candi-
date for state senator is rather in his favor.
Experience is not the only thing the can
didate lacks If the stories told about him
are true. Not long ago he sought Samuel
K. Robbins and, without solicitation,
promised to support the latter and also
intimated that other Collins people would
do the same.
All is not harmonious in the Democratic
camp. The Herald, which has called at
tention more than once to "big four" in
Republican ranks, now goes one better
and announces "big five" in Democratic
circles. The men who form this quintettt
are said to be ex Judge Wills. William F
Morgan, Thomas j. Prickett, Charles
Stokes and Hilyard Stokes. The Herald
plainly charges them with incompetency
and mismanagement and with bankrupt
ing the party. Just the same, however
these gentlemen seem to be able to contro
not only the Democratic conventions, blu
all the patronage that comes thei
J way.

Baltimore yesterday, making it two
out of three games of the series.
Manager Murray, of the Skeeters,
got a bad scare in the first inning,
when the Orioles landed two runs,
and he hurried Pfanmiller to the
bench, sending Mosklman to the box
in his place. The change proved ben
%eicial, as Moskiman pitched good
ball, keeping the visitors down to
two hits for the rest of the game.
Jersey City evened up the score in
the second, and Baltimore with an
other run to its credit forged ahead
again in the fourth. Jersey City de-
veloped a batting streak in the sixth,
and with five hits piled up four runs.
