As we understand the objects Of this
county historical society they are to pre-
serve everything Of historical interest.
That being SO the sentiments expressed to-
ward the ribs Of the old frigate Augusta
was hardly in harmony with that object.
a monument has been placed where Dun
nop's remains are supposed to rest, and
many things once purely British are
cherished. We have never harbored feel
ings of animosity to England for endeavor-
ing to hold herl ambitious child, and since
our country has reached the stage Of buying
people and holding them under bayonets
purely for gain, our charity for British
feeling toward her hayward ohildn
should be complete.
In our opinion, the remains of she
Augusta are fine specimen Of naval archi-
tecSure and construction Of that period, il
il surely the biggest historical object at
hand
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1907-01-10

The four legislative representatives Of
Union County have declared that they will
refuse to enter the Republican Senatorial
caucus if Senator Dryden is a candidate for
reelection. This means that Senator Dry
den will not succeed himself as U. s. Sena-
tor. During recent years the Rocks Of Gi
bralter have been freely distributed to elect
Republican legislators, and is must be a
great disappointment to the Prudential's
chief to win the political game for his party
and lose the prize for himself.

them possessed of more legislative ex-

change from Dryden 80 Watkins, nor would
any of the policies that have made Repub-

cold, we'll developed plan of the powerful
corporations to retain their grip on the
New Jersey Senatorship.
The coming weeks will be interesting
ones in the Republican ranks in New

The DEMOCRAT makes its prophesy that
a South Jersey Republican will be Senator
Dryden's successor, and as he must be a
corporation Republican, Woodbury. people
will give Mr.. Watkins the preference in
their well wishes.
