Political Notes.

Charles LaTour Is young man who Is
well qualified to act as Township Clerk.
Give him your vote.
Funny. but whenever the advocates of
Governor Wilson speak of those In charge
Of party affairs they call them "bosses, .
but when the Governor is alluded to he
is ''leader."
Do not lose sight of the candidates for
township Offices DR.. Prickitt and How
ard E. Alcott will make good members Of
the Township Committee and should re-
ceive the support Of all good citizens.
Assistant Attorney General Gaskill has
given an opinion that County Clerk can
not keep from the official tickets the name
of one who has failed to render an account
Of his expenses In his campaign. This is
hailed with glee by some but the fact
should not be overlooked that the law is
plain In Its provision that man who me-
elects or refuses to file such statement
shall forfeit any Office to which he may be
elected.
There appears to be little difference Of
opinion about the office Of Freebooter
from Riverside. George A. Mccoy is Ill
and is reported to have resigned. and the
Township Committee has appointed
Thomas W. Fairbrother to fill the vacancy.
But 1t seems that Mccoy has not put his
resignation In the hands of either the
Township Committee or the Clerk of the
Board of Freeholders, hence is still a
member. Mr.. Fsirbrother cannot act
until the Board has had official notice of
the resignation of Mr.. Mccoy.
There was county convention of
Prohibitionists at the Court House, on
Tuesday evening, delegation of about
twenty-five temperance advocates repre-
senting that party. In the matter of
nominating candidate for Sheriff, 1t was
voted to leave that place on the ticket
blank. When this action was reconsider
ed, the party endorsed the Democratic
nominee, Andrew J. Jordan, providing he
would accept the honor. With the matter
left In this condition. the balance of the
ticket was completed as follows: Assem-
bly,, Elwood Hollinshead, Moorestown;
Surrogate, Edward II. Lytle, Delanco;
Auditor, J. Howard Mickle, Moorestown;
Coroner, Howard Apologize, Mount
Holly.
Here is richness of the richest variety.
Just read this taken from the Philadelphia
North A,neyic0m:
''All hope and glory to Harvey Thomas,
of the Atlantic City Revieao. His name ii
on all tongues. His praises resounded
everywhere.
'Long had our city been cursed by q
gang Of political scoundrels. Robbed Of
her citizenship, her treasury looted, hel
good name besmirched, her elections
stolen and vice and immortality openly
Haunted in her face.
"When, lol Harvey Thomas and his
ReJieso commenced active warfare agains
the scoundrelly crew. Day in and day
month out, did this splendid hero fight fo
the right. for justice, for decency. Will
what result2
Already the march to the penitentiary
has begun. The lockstep is forming. Thu
"boss" is with them and the gangs al
here" No silver-tongued lawyer or elo
quent plea can save them now. 1t is to-
late. Jersey is beginning to hold up he
head.
"The clouds are breaking at last. Thu
light of freedom Is shining through. Sool
the whole sky will be radiant with justic
and right. And the people, long Cypress
ed and abused, will lie down to pleasan
dreams.
"Our hearts leap out In thankfulness t.
our splendid Governor Woodrow Wilson

/ General Wilson, to Assistant Attorne,
General Gaskill and to our own Harve'
Thomas" ARGUS.
Atlantic City, Oct. II.
Just think Of it. That refers to Harve

Imagination. argus" certainly was In
spired when he wrote about "our Harvey.
