Daniel Evan was elected Freebooter In
Eastampton township by seven majority
Bryan says he will not run again. 1t is
not apparent that he ever has run to
speak of.
Papa Birch had long head on him
when he refused to allow Tommy to be
a candidate for Congress.
The results in some townships will
cause some prospective candidates for
office to do some thinking.
Wonder what party Grub will join
nexti Answers to be sent to the Jack
sonian party" organized at Pemberton the
day after election.
What do you think of Evesham and
Medtord2 Old reliable townships for the
Republican party heretofore, and they
Topped clear over
Howard Russ will again be member
of the Board of Freeholders. He was
elected on Tuesday, in Beverly township,
by good majority.
1t is rumored that application will be
made to the next Legislature to divide the
township of Florence, giving Roebling
government of its own.
| Congressman Gardner has comfortable
majority, he has the job and so far as two
years hence are concerned, Is willing to
let that time take care of itself.
Down in Chester township some people
thought that Joe Hilton could easily be
defeated for re election as Freebooter, but
when the returns came in they changed
their minds.
=, The proposition to allow the township
committee to retire member Of the police
force was adopted by 26 majority. This
does not make it obligatory for the com
mittee to take the action, but gives the
right to act under the recent law.
William w. Worrell, Sheriff-elect, has
! reason to feel proud of his election. He
was not running against weak man, but
his opponent, William 7. Baggs, is
gentleman of high character, and he con-
Quoted an honorable campaign. There
was no mudslinging on his part.
Introducing E. Burd Grubb to Mount
Holly audience the chairman of the meet
ing said "Here is a man who was not
afraid to face the csnnon's mouth, and he
| is not afraid of Cannon now" No, more's
| the pity If he had been little bit more
afraid of his own mouth he might have
| done better.
| The township committee will consider
the proposition of putting day police
man on duty. This will be step in the
right direction. The general feeling is
that Captain Branson should be given this
position. He has served for years as
night policeman, and has been faithful to
his trust.
Prior to the election the Burlington
Gazette contained the following: Uncle
John Gardner may not be SO good looking
but he will know more when the Con-
gressional fight is over.-General E Burd
Grubb." Wonder If Grubb did say that
Guess he did, as he said many things just
as foolish
Chester, west district, cast 655 votes,
hence the township will have to have
three voting districts. Palmyra will have
two districts hereafter, having cast 6S4
votes. Florence just escapes, the first
district of that township casting 800 votes
and it requires more than that number to
create a new district.
In Beverly township, the home of two
of the prominent Democratic candidates,
the maiorities were wide apart. William
t. Baggs, for Sheriff, received 2S9 major
ity, while E. Rurd Grubb, on the Demo-
cratic ticket for Congress, received IL
majority. Beverly city gave Baggs SO
majority, and Congressman Gardner got
1s majority.
Pemberton Borough stuck tight to
Democracy on Tuesday and sent In
maiorities that caused chills to run down
the backs Of the Republicans And now
that it is all over the workers up there
want to know ''what was the use ?" Tylee
t White says they would willingly let some
other locality have the majorities if they
/ would be of any use to the recipient.
: In reply to the query What was the
matter with Medford and Evesham 7" the
answer is organized labor" the Dutch
. went back on us" and the Changers did
e it." The real truth probably is that the
e Democrats were supplied with more
t sinews of war than heretofore, and In
stead af spreading it all over the county
f they concentrated their efforts In certain
: places where they felt they might make
: iproads into the Republican ranks. And
s the results show that they figured about
e right.
Il There was high old time In Pembertor
# Borough after the votes were counted. 81
;. elated were the tried and true Democrats
n that they at once began to get busy TO
e the next campaign. A gentleman of ora
it torical ability called a meeting of tn
1t "loval fourteen" and told them it wa
g time that the fundamental principles mus
It be again put in action. He proposed tina
lr '.Jacksonian club be organized on tn
10 spot and the motion was adopted will
ID great applause. Since the general resul
re has been made public, the selection G
E. permanent officers was deferred for time
but it was unanimously decided that tn
at fundamental principles must be kept be
g. fore the public.
g Farmer" MARITIME, 1t will be rememhe
y. ed, made the opening address In Mour
Holly for the Democratic campaign. Il
4 was very much in earnest and shove
how, to his mind. there was no hope fl
anybody but Bryan. Farmer" Martir
was the Democratic candidate for Sheri
~ in Union county, mot because he wante
u the place, but to help MIR. Bryan along
His help was something wonderful. Tv
sr- years ago Mr.. MARITIME carried Unit
D., county by 100 plurality. Then he stoc
ey on his own merits. This year, "helpiI
ars Bryan, he was defeated by about 80
~. majority. It is not likely the "farme
ere orator will be called upon very soon
ce. tell Burlington county people what is t
best thing to do.
