last Tuesday, and as result day of most
profitable campaigning was had. The

two from Mr.. Lacy Of Pitman, one from
Mr.. Stetser,o ,of Paulsboro, aud John Raohor,
Jr., generously rendered the use of his
new Studebaker car The two first named

tt was a pleasure to note the warmth of
these meetings and the genuine expressions
of God Speed, and success. We have tour
ed our county with many candidates in
years passed, but never before have we
seen Republicans cheering them with assur-

highest patriotism. Mr.. Katzenbach may
not be elected, but if he fails it will not be
from lack of support by those who know
him best.
