there had been spirited contests over every
office. The two members of the Assembly
who have served so well in the past were
renominated without opposition. The
records and work of Messrs. Lewis and
Trick have been perfectly satisfactory to-

In different position from that occupied
last winter, and that they will be in the
majority and not in a minority.
William W. Worrell is a tried and true
official. He summed 1t all up in his few
words of acceptance when he said he
would carry out the law to the best of his
ability. That is what he has done in the
past and he has been perfectly satisfactory.
A new man appears before the people.
He is Herman Bisbing, of Florence, and
he asks to be elected Coroner The young
man is perfectly fitted for the office. He
is employed by traction company as
dispatcher, position that needs a careful

AUTOMOBILES who have been using
the New Jersey roads as they pleased,
paying little attention to the laws regula
ting speed, have had slight jolt within

Mr.. Smith knows the law, knows his
duties and does not know any particular
individual when it is shown that the latter
has no regard for the statutes made to
protect the residents of this state.
