Democrats Ask Questions.

1t has been charged, and the charge has
been neither denied nor answered, that
Woodrow Wilson did not vote for or sup
Port William ]. Bryan for president, and
that Wilson said Bryan twas a menace to
the country"
To settle this question letter, signed
by number of Burlington county Demo-
Gratis, was sent to Mr. Wilson. The letter
follows:
ITO Mr.. Woodrow Wilson, Democratic
candidate for Governor of New Jersey
"Dear Strive are Democrats and
being on the eve of an important election,
and DESTROYS of voting consistently with
our honest convictions, you will pardon us
for asking you a few questions, the an.
swers to which will greatly assist us In
casting our ballots for men and measures,
strictly in accord with true Democratic
principles.
Do you believe In the policies advo-
Gated by William j. Bryan in either of
the instances when he was the presidential
candidate for the Democratic party2
"Did you on any of those occasions sup
port him either by your voice or your
voter

colbert l.. Wills, Marlton.
Doctor Wilson was with James Nugent,
Robert Davis and james Smith when the
letter was handed him In New Brunswick,
on Thursday, and after brief conference
with them he sent word to the writers that
there was no answer at present. No an
swer has yet been made. Please note with
whom Mr.. Wilson consulted before he
gave his reply to the bearer of the letter.
The Antitrust League has also adj
dressed letter to Doctor Wilson, asking
him as TO reports that the Democratic
leaders of the state are In frequent con.
ference with George Harvey, who is al
legged to be the political agent of Wall
street and several of the big trusts, and
that those capitalists are backing Wilson's
campaign.
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1910-11-01

Philip Bullock, Of Mount Holly, charg
ed with arson, was adjudged insane and
sent to the asylum at New Lisbon.
Fred Kleinz was called before Judge
Horner to explain why he had disobeyed
an order of the Court of Chancery to pay
his wife So per week. He has not paid
one dollar for about six months. Kleinz
said he had been earning 50 per week and
had been using all of it except his board
to pay debts. Action was deferred until
December l.
The case Of N. Reese Whitaker against
John Jobes was heard by Judge Horner.
Jobes bought COW from Whitaker for
$25. Before Jobes got the COW home it
died, and he claimed it was diseased and
wanted his money returned. The Jury
thought so, too, and gave a verdict in
favor Of Jobes for $25 and 40 cents inter-
est.
On Friday the case of J. S. Collins &
Son against William j Schwalber, an
action on contract, was heard. The claim
was for lumber bill of 81 165.03
The plaintiffs contended that Schw ALDER
employed builder named Hecker to erect
a house in Riverside, and that Schwalber
agreed with them to pay for the lumber
on vouchers signed by Hecker. The lum-
Der was furnished but was only partly
paid for, hence the suit.
The defence showed that Schwalber
made contract such as is usually made
for erecting buildings and that same was
filed at the County Clerks Office
The records were produced and the
paper was found recorded June 5, 1909,
The defence desired to show that the con-
tract had been in the Clerks office two
weeks before being recorded, owing to
negligence. Judge Lloyd ruled that the
record would have to be taken as correct.
Lumber to the amount of 1874 81 having
been delivered prior to the filing of the
contract, the court directed q verdict for
that amount with interest, amounting to
1910 81.

Political Notes.

Hon. Edward c. Stokes, candidate for
United States Senator, will be one of the
speakers at Republican mass meeting to
be held in the hall at Moorestown tonight
Only one week to election. Next Tues
day the polls will open at six o'clock in
the morning and remain open until seven
In the evening. Every good citizen should
vote.
There was Democratic meeting in the
town hall at Moorestown on Tuesday
night. There were So persons present to
listen to addresses by Judge r. s. Hud-
speth and exCongressman Eugene w.
Leake.
Those who have been In the habit of
supporting the Republican party have no
cause to desert that party now. Every
Republican vote this year will be of
greater Importance than appears on the
surface.
The Office of township committee is one
that appeals to every voter and taxpayer.
The best man for the position should be
chosen. Harry Murphy was the choice
Of the Republicans at the primary cleo
ton. See that the action of that time is
ratified.
William B. Ireland has faithfully served
the township and the county In the Board
of Freeholders and he deserves to be con-
tinued. There was fair chance for any
one not satisfied with his administration
and it is hard to find an official who will
suit everybody-to make change at the
primary election. But Mr.. Ireland was
allowed to secure denomination without
opposition, and he should be reelected by
large majority.
Many persons thought the question of
reducing the membership of the Board of
Freeholders would not receive the con-
sideration at this time that it would at an
election when there would not be so many
other issues INVOLVED, so the securing of
signatures to petitions was not pushed as
vigorously as might have been. As 1t was,
very nearly enough names are In hand and
other papers numerously signed are In
possession of the gentlemen who were
circulating them, but were withheld at
the request of the signers. for the present.
