and aided the successful candidate. Mr..
Russ has labored for the success of every
candidate of the party. He is honored
and esteemed by all who know him. In
the Board of Freeholders for five years, he
never missed a meeting or lodged vote.
His nomination will add strength to the
entire ticket, for he is an honest, square
man, such as the people want. He is
| known all over the county as successful
! farmer, and that class of citizens are quite
an asset in the government of public af-
fairs Honor Howard Russ and he will
honor the party by leading it to victory.
DIR. William H. Ships, in few re-
marks, presented the name of Samuel 5.
Taylor, of Bordentown.
Evesham was the next to respond, the
spokesman being William F. Powell, of
Marlton. He wished to place before the
convention the name of man who needs
no Introduction, being well and widely
known as gentleman and party man, In
the latter sense being conceded to be one
who has not been selfish, but who has
worked with will for those who sought
the suffrages of the people on the Repub-
lican ticket Mr.. Powell did not think
there was any need of eulogy or extended
remarks, and he named Franklin p. Endi-
colt, of Evesham.
1t remained for Benjamin M. Haines, of
Mount Laurel, to stir up the real enthus-
iasm. He said this convention had as
sembled to nominate a man to serve the
people in the Office of Surrogate. Mount
Laurel would present one of whom she
was proud, one capable of filling the posi-
ton. loyal to his party, hard worker for
the good of the people and one who would
reflect credit upon the county il elected.
Mr.. Haines, who is assessor from Mount
Laurel, referred to the fact that his town
ship pays full share of the county taxes,
"and," he said, taxation without repre-
sentation is hardly square deal. " Five
years ago William P. Lippincott was be-
fore the convention and on being rejected
he pledged his support to the candidate,
and he fulfilled his promise. At that time
he was practically promised the nomina-
ton next time Mount Laurel new asks
for the carrying out of that promise.
When Mr.. Haines concluded there was
round of applause and the events which
followed showed that the cheering was
not all mere sound.
The roll was then called for a ballot,
and the result appears in the above table.
The result of the last ballot was an
nounced and the nomination of MIR. Lip
pincott was made unanimous commit
tee, consisting of Albert Haines. Mount
Laurel; Artillias A. Anderson, Northamp
ton; and John HI. Briggs, Beverly town
ship, was appointed to bring the nominee
and candidates before the convention.
While they were out attending to their
duty, the committee on resolutions report
ed a set similar to those adopted by the
other conventions.
The committee to present the candidates
returned with Mr. Lippincott, who was
presented as zone who does not need any
introduction. Mr. Lippincott returned
thanks to the delegates for the honor they
had conferred upon him. He promised to
so conduct his Office if elected that there
would not be any complaint from those
who had business to transact with him.
Howard Russ was next presented. He
said he had made good fight but had not
been successful. He pledged his support
to the ticket and said that while five years
seemed to be a long time to look ahead,
the probabilities were that he would again
seek recognition when the time arrived.
Mr.. Endicott could not be found, so the
convention adjourned.
