The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1906-10-30


ballots for the candidates presented to
them by the political parties of the county
In its issue following the Republican con-
vention THE News expressed the opinion
that the ticket formed by hat body was
the best that could have been presented to
the people. And nothing has occurred to
cause any change in opinion. No argu-
ments of any solidity have been presented
to show that the Republican nominees are
not worthy of support. They are all men
their fellow citizens. Three of them
Congressman Gardner, and Assemblymen
Robbins and Trick have been in public
positions for different periods, but no
serious charge has been made against
either Of them. This in itself is sufficient
for their being supported by the people.
Republican voters should not underesti-
mate the Importance of this election
There should not be any half hearted
methods next Tuesday. Go and vote and
get your neighbor to do the same. To
stay away from the polls will aid the
Democrats as much as ballot cast in their
favor will.
The Democrats in Burlington county
have gone into this contest with an idea
that they can win. The recent efforts of
the Colbyites and the action of George
Wildes in running as an Independent can
didate for state Senator has given the
Democrats the idea that they have good
chance to win. Do good citizens of either
party desire to give their stamp of APP
prevail to the act of George Wildes, who
went into convention and then bolted
and became kicker, who has denounced
the people in whose councils he sat? Is
there any reason to believe that he could
be relied upon If he was given the desire
of his heart? A man who will bolt in the
way he did is likely to repeat the trick
How many people are there who are
willing to admit that the administration of
affairs in the state of New Jersey under
the rule of the party now in power has
been failure and that there is necessity
for change?
How many people are there who are
willing and anxious to go back to the days
of Democratic management and graft,
when things became so bad that the people
arose in their wrath and turned the hooters
out?
How many people are there who are
willing, merely to satisfy the desires o. a
few who are actuated by no higher mo-
tives than pique. disappointment, malice
and desire for revenge2
How many people are there who are
ready to hamper the administration OF
President Roosevelt by adm G in any way
the election of Congressman or United
States Senators who will do all in theil
power to cast Instructions and difficulties
in the way of a government that all are
willing to admit is the best we have ever
had?
What has been urged against Assembly
man Robbins in this campaign to show
that he is unfit for the office of State Sen
ator? His record of three years as mem
Der of the Assembly is open to all and VI
to date there has not been a charge mad,
that has been detrimental to the official.
What has Assemblyman Trick done t,
cause any good citizen to refrain from
, supporting him2 Great cry has beef
made about farmers having representation
Is not Mr.. Trick sufficiently identified will
farming interests to make him valuable
! along that line?
Has anything been brought to attention
to show that Griffith w. Lewis is not
good citizen and worthy the esteem of hi
fellow-men2 He has been engaged in
manufacturing business for years and no
one word can be brought against hi
honesty, integrity or intelligence.
What has been brought detrimental t.
William P. Lippincott? Nothing excep
that he has not had the experience thai
his competitor gained by being retained ii
office for ten years by representatives o
the party that he now shows his gratitud
towards by trying to compass its defea
Mr.. Lippincott may not have the exper
fence but he has the intelligence to con
quer any problem that may arise during
his administration.
There are no questions to ask abou
William W. Worrell. His record is sucl
that even the Democrats recognize his tru
worth and have not placed any one OF
their ticket against him.
Neither has any argument been ad
vanced to show that Barclay c. Seeds will
not make good coroner.
Look over the list, compare it with tn,
nominees on any or all of the other ticketi
and ask yourself if there is any reason
why you should not vote the ticket as i
stands at the head of this page.
