FORT ON TOUR
OF ATLANTIC
TODAY
Republican Candidate Feels
Sanguine at the
Outlook.

ATLANTIC CITY. Oct. 21.-John
Franklin Fort, the Republican guber-
Material candidate, early today began a
tour of the leading towns of the coun-
ty. He expects to visit all of them ana
close the day with a monster mass
meeting at Young's pier in this city.
The start was made at 9 a. M. with
the first appearance of the candidate
at Hammonton, where a mass meeting
took place in the Town Hall. Elwood
came next with a rally at 1915; Egg
Harbor at 1O:45, and Mays Landing at
noon. This afternoon a rally IS to be
held at Pleasantville, after which the
party returns to Atlantic City early
enough to give Mr.. Fort an opportunity
to rest before the night meeting.
1t had been intended to bring he
candidate over from Bridgeton. in Cum-
berland County. where he spoke Satur7
day night, by auto to Hammonton early
today, but he decided that a day IN
Atlantic City would benefit him afetr
his hard weeks campaign, and came on
Saturday night. The first stage of to-
journey, therefore, was made by
train, the other towns being visited by
auto on the way back.
If the plans as they now stand are
carried out the night meeting will be
one of the largest OF the campaign. At
a dozen marching clubs from diff
ferent parts of the county have signi-
fed their intention of attending, and
members Of these alone are ex-
pected to total 800 or more. Besides
-hese, 300 vice-presidents have been ap-
for the meeting. Mr.. Fort will

Most of the county ticket are in the

HELD FOR DEATH
MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE
AGAINST AUT0IST.
Edwin Dufford Succumbs to Injuries
Received in Accident on
Broad Street.

Following the formal charge of nan
slaughter made by Captain Brown, of
the Second Precinct, Harry Wester-
welt, Is years old, of 81 Verona terrace,
East Orange, who ran down and in
jured Edwin Dufford, 60 years old,
of the Park Hotel, in upper Broad
street, on October -, injuring him so
badly that he died in the City Hospital
Saturday morning, has been admitted
to bail, the sum being 81, 900. 1t was
the same amount on which Judge Herr
released young Westervelt on October
IA for his connection with the case,
the bail being continued on the for
NAL charge.
County Physician Elliott performed
an autopsy on Dufford and found that
death resulted from an extensive skull
fracture.
When first arrested last week no
charge was made against Westervelt,
as Policeman Whitman, who made the
arrest, did not witness the accident.
Young westervelt admits that he
knocked Dufford down, but claims that
it was an unavoidable accident; that
he was coming down Orange street
in his machine as Dufford was cross
ing the street at Orange and Broad
streets; that just as the auto got to
the corner the man turned around and
walked deliberately into the machine.
When Officer Whitman arrived only
a moment later Dufford lay partly
under the auto unconscious. He then
placed young Westervelt, who was
driving the machine, under arrest.

The people of Bates county have

miles Of country. There have been
times when during almost an entire

village ten miles east and south of this

So it was not surprising that few
