GUlDEP0STs IN FRANCE.
A Striking Feature of the Roads
Throughout the Country.


A feature of the roads of France is
the ever present gnidepost. These guide.
posts consist of an iron plaque about
two feet long and foot high securely
mounted on sturdy posts or fastened
to some substantial wall They are
painted in white and blue and show
without any possibility Of mistake not
only the commune or township in
which they stand, but the next impor-
tant place in either direction as well as
the distances between all the chief
points upon that route Thus you will
find if you are travelling on road
which leads to Paris that the name of
the metropolis will appear on the sign
board although it may be several hun
dred kilometers distant
In addition to these guideposts the
Touring Club of France has put on
the chief roadsxa series of signs and
symbols to indicate to motorists and
bicyclists what sort of road they are
approaching. The sign .'ralentir." which
translated into good United States
means to .let up has caused many a
motorist who Is unfamiliar with the
road he is travelling to slow down and
to find shortly after the sign had been
passed that it was we'll that he paid at
tention to it because of steep grade
or some abrupt turn. There is no ex-
cuse, in view of the symbols and sign
boards, for any one motoring in France
unexpectedly into trouble Frank Pres

A true son of a noble sire, James NJ. Sey-
mour is being mentioned for Mayor Of New

be has issued statement in which he de-
clares shat while nothing would please him

for several years by his late father, yet be

II fully appreciate the honor, and moth

sponsibility that the Office carries with it,
II am not in hamony with New Jersey
politics OF the present day. l dislike polit
ica bosses, especially when they are dis
loyal 10 their party and loyal only to the
corporation interests that they represent.
This State is run by about thirty men,
twenty-four Republicans and six Demo-
Gratis, everyone of them corporation men
working for the interests Of the corporation
that they are employed by, or that they are
interested in. II man shows his head in
politics and the thirty believe that he will
work honestly for the interests OF the peo-
pie and not bend his neck TO she corpora
sions, the whole thirty, regardless Of party,
line up 80 destroy him.
The Republican twenty-foUr help to
kill any anti-machine Democrat and the
Democrat six help to kill any anti-machine
Republican. Corporation interests are para
mount with the thirty, and in their circle
there are no party lines. The thirty were
well represented at the National Conven-
tion at Chicago Thomas N. McCarter,
president of the Public Service Corpora
ton, by his aggressive opposition to every
thing that the laboring interests of this
country demanded, has. in my estimation,
cost Mr.. Taft half million votes
Cat Denver the New JERSEY delegates
found themselves in a truly Democratic
atmosphere an atmosphere where the
voice of the great mass of the people was
heard, so different from New Jersey that
the corporation agents were COMPOUNDED.
There were good men in both Conventions,
but the unit rnle forced them to vote in
many instances against their honest con-
yictions.

]. Bryan, because / believe be is truly
Democratic.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1908-08-06

An encouraging early straw is the
hearty surrender to Bryan Of the old opal
mer and Buckner Club of Burlington Co.,
which has been in existence since 1896 for
the one and only purpose of fighting Bryan.
The organization has now unanimously en-
dorsed the Denver ticket, and its President,
Mr.. w. E. Schermerhorr, has written to
Mr.. Bryan notifying him that the Club is
now among his warmest and most hard
working supporters, and that Burlington
County Democrats were never before more
united and never so strong, because it is
known there that many Republicans of the
county are for Bryan in this campaign.
