too long unheeded 1t will be heard in the
autumnal election The will of the people
has been too long thwarted Is will be
found supreme on election day.
What we want is direct expression
from the people through simple and hon
est ballot. What we want is an admins
tration CT the government for the people,
and not for the pets; an administration
which is free and untrampied, which is i'm
partial and just What we want is a leader
like Jefferson or Lincoln, who will put his
ear to the ground and his finger on the pub
lie pulse; leader who belieyes that the
rights of a corporation are as sacred as the
rights of an individual, ard who believes
that the rights of an individual are as sa-
cred as the rights of a corporation; leader
whom the people can trust to hold the
scale Of justice between the corporation and
the citizen without the fear that he will
slyly lay his finger in the corporation pan
Such men are available, and / sincerely
hope that from such the choice Of the con-
vention may be made. Then, with decla-
ration of true democratic principles, which
we honestly believe in and are prepared to
stand or fall by, we can win or lose with
out defeat
Boiled down, these are the recommends
tions made by James E. MARITIME for the
Democratic State convention platform:
Equal taxation in fact as well as in
theory, popular election of United States
Senators, limited franchises, franchise tax,
public utility commission elected by the
people, abolition of the voting machine,
honest and economical administration Of
the State government, and general house
cleaning.
In concluding bis letter, Mr.. MARITIME
said: II deem it not out Of place here TO
state that l have an honest and honorable
ambition to be Governor Of our State, that
may aid in carrying ont the above
thoughts and advance the cause of clean
government in New Jersey.

THE WHY AND WHEREFORE!
Plain Facts as Applied to Realty sales
at Beautiful "6Ien Lake. at
PitmaD Grove.

After three months presentation of
facts in connection with the pretty sub
urban town site on "Glen Lake, cou-
pied with the magnificent showing in
the sale of building lots, Mr.. Justice, the
owner and developer, announces that he
still has something like hundred unsold
lots, many of them in choice locations on
this pretty plot, awaiting purchasers.
Mr.. Justice, who is compelled by his ex-
tensive fruit-producing groves in Florida
to leave Pitman early in October, will
remain at his Pitman office until that
time ready to show any one over the
"Glen Lake. tract and give them any
information needed. i,
The s'Glen Lake tract is pronounced,
beyond doubt, as finely located as any
tract in South Jersey. Lying along that
beautiful stretch of railroad just south of
Pitman station it catches the eye of pas
sengers on the trains and is sought after
by them for future homes. The why and
wherefore OF the great boom this tract
has enjoyed since the first day it was
placed ON the market is explained in
various ways First, it's ideal location
has been the great lever influencing
home-seekers to invest. Second, the
class of improvements being made, and
those promised by Mr. Justice, whose
word is as good as his bond. Mr.. Justice,
the owner and developer of ''Glen Lake, !"
lives in Pitman, intends to make his
future home at the Lake, and is fnan-
cially interested in numerous properties
and institutions in the borough, SO that
his interests are identical with the inter-
ests OF every lot owner at 'Glen Lake..
Purchasers of lots can therefore rest
assured that their interests will be fully
protected in every way. All lots sold
range from 60 to 100 feet front to 100 to
200 feet in depth, giving every purchaser
ample area for handsome summer and
winter residence. with spacious lawns, etc.
Ifany of our readers are interested in
a site for future home, they will do
well to look over this plot before it is.

The result of the Primary election in this

Daniel Cook Had, Rifle MuzzIe
at His Temple.
Knocked Aside by 0ifIsers.-.rhs
Man Temporarily Unbalanced.

Lying on a couch, with the muzzle OF
4 rifle touching his forehead and the
barrel OF the gun resting on a nearby
table, Daniel Cook, a resident Of Tenn
pie street. about 7.30 last evening sought
to 1low out his brains and but for the
timely appearance of Officers George H.
Simpson and Albert would no doubt
have succeeded in his purpose.
Early in the evening Officer Albert
was stopped by a boy, who told him
that a man on Temple street was going
to kill himself. The officer started to-
ward that locality but was stopped by
another boy, who told him that the
residents of the house in which Cook
lives desired the services Of Deputy
Marshal Simpson. Officer Simpson was
hastily summoned and together the Of
ficers went to the house at No "a Tenn
pie street, up stairs.
Going into the first room no light
was to be seen, but small lamp was
found on one of the tables. This was
lighted and going to the next room,
they found the young man on the couch.
The gun was hastily knocked from
its position before Cook could do him.
self damage. The gun was a breach
loader, but only one shell was found
in the chambers. Several cartridges
were found on his person.
Cook was taken to the police station.
where it was found that he had been
drinking heavily and his mind was
somewhat unbalanced. He was ex-
amined as to his sanity by Drs. c. w.
Abbott, j. ". G.. Bernard and J. E.
Poulin, but they all declared him to
be in his right mind, and he was re-
leased from custody.
The timely appearance Of the officers
was probably the means of saving the
life OF one who would have taken it
during q period of insanity.
