Political Notes.

| There Is not nearly so much to say this
week as there will be In the next issue OF
The News.
For Township Clerk in this township
Charles LaTour and Bert Dill are con-
testing.
There are II candidates for County Re-
publican Committee, nine to be elected.
The Burlington Enterprise seems to think
1t would be a good thing to cut from the
ticket the names of Joseph G. Kingdom
and George N. Winner. The voters will
probably use their own discretion.
The main contest In Northampton town
ship will be on Township Committee.
For this office the following are candi-
dates: Howard E. Alcott, T. Walter
Borton, DIR. Elmer D. Prickitt, DR.. George
W. VanDerveer, Joseph s. Shreve, Ben
jamin w. Zelley. All have made an
earnest canvass and any one of them is
qualified for the Office.
The Enterprise was very mild on satur-
day and was not what was expected after
the great things promised by the advance
guard Snowden paid attention to former
Sheriff Fenton In long, windy letter,
which was words" and the usual request
that he be kept In the good graces of
everybody, sort of plea for eternal
friendship. One page of the paper was
illegally devoted to Charles A. Rigg, as
the law requires q signature to every
advertisement published. There is a
proYiso that If such signature Is not
attached pay for the advertisement can
not be allowed, but as Snowden evidently
did not expect any pay that omission did
not count.
Burlington county does not appear to be
the only locality that has fellow who
publishes statements In his paper that do
not bear the impress of truth and then,
when asked to print letter in reply. de-
clines to do so. Harvey Thomas. well
known around this neighborhood, has
been printing some stories In which the
name of former Governor Stokes was
us6u. ut lhbtcf scub lctbcA W AOuoo
In which he said the charges were abso-
lutely false, and he also said: ''Your
charge that am attempting to build up
machine for Senatorial purposes Is equally
false and shows how Atlantic City atmos-
phere has swelled your imagination. :"
The swelling of imagination" Is little
bit funny for 1t seems impossible that the
Imagination of the youthful newspaper
man could ever be swelled more than 1t
had been In the past. For him to attack
man with the eputation-personsl and
political-of former Governor Stokes, is
so absolutely ridiculous, taking Harvey's
personal characteristics into considera-
ton, as to really be painful What a
shame Harvey cannot see himself as others
see him.

| At Thursdays session of court Judg'
Horner gave Peter McGonigal. Of Bur
! lington, some wholesome advice In con
nection with efforts put forth to make hin
better man. Peter shamefully abused
his wife, and he pleaded guilty to tht
charge of assault and battery. He Is now
enjoying liberty under suspension Of
sentence. and was told that If he appeared
In court again on similar charge he would
be sent to state prison. Peter signed the
pledge to abstain from liquor, and was
given three months In which to pay the
expenses incurred by his prosecution.
There were two colored defendants from
Beverly, and the discrepancy In their sizes
was an attractive feature OF their appear
ance in court. The parties were Frank
Hamilton and Essie Cannon. A heated
argument between them resulted in rough
house, during which the woman was
struck on the head with brick. In retail
iation for this Insult Essie procured a
razor, threatened to cut his throat, and
gave Hamilton good chase. They were
each given thirty days in the county jail.
Because of the serious charge against
him, John Buchanan will not know his
fate until his case has been further inves-
tigated. The defendant was employed by
Henry Lippincott, living on the road from
Moorestown to Riverton. Some boys were
found bathing in pond from which ice Is
gathered andBuchanan used a gun to scare
them away. Two of the boys were shot,
one quite seriously, but both have fully
recovered. Buchanan, who pleaded guilty,
was represented by Joseph ka;ghn, who
told the court that his tll-nt had no In
tention of injuring lae boys. 1t was al
most dark at the time of the shooting and
because of that the defendant aimed too
low. The court thought the charge too
serious to dispose of In an off-hand man
ner.
Benjamin Greenburg got badly stung
when ordered to pay fine of SO, because
he is Jew peddler and always insists on
bargain prices. He became hungry while
passing through Willingboro township
aud stole six peaches from an orchard.
Because of the unpopularity of such
theft In that section of the county, the
fine was imposed to protect farmers.
