Preference Given County Cam
pa. n Meeting.

Owing to tL, fact that the state
campaign meeting and the first
county campaign meeting were held
within two days of each other, and
to the further fact that one Of our
printers is away with the Edse6eld
Rifles attending the encampment, it
is impossible to report both meet
ings in this i'issu'. AS it has
been The Advertisers custom to re-
port the first county campaign
meeting in full, giving the plat
forms" of candidates for legislative
honors, and, too, because it is of
more interest to our people, we de-
,cided to give the preference to the
county campaign and leave of the
state meeting.

moniacal satisfaction of having as
sisted in the wrecking of a ship that
has weathered the sunshine of pros
perity, and the storms of adversity
for hundreds of fyears. Whose decks
for centuries have been trod by men
and women, who who in their purity
and chastity never dreamed that
that she would be oficered by pir-
ates, and manned by such as you.
If he fails he can but go down with
the ship, trying to save, not only
the grand old ship and the passen'
gers who have made their homes on
her for ages, and whose blood has
so often dyed red her decks in her
defense, bnt also to save the alien,
who came from God knows where
and climbed over her rail in the

and both places are connected by
the two-mile boardwalk along the
beach. Here thousands promenade
to enjoy the sea-breeze and watch
the bathers in the surf.
There are two fine drives in sight
seeing cars from Ocean Grove. The
Rumson road drive is considered
the most beautiful along the coast.
From beginning to end is success
sion Of magnificent homes and beau
tiful grounds. We saw the palatial
residences of Adam, of Pepsin
chewing gum fame, Havemeyer, the
sugar king, Guggenheimer, who
persisted in the Titanic, Maud Ad-

Greenhut, Seigel Cooper, New York,
and many other millionaires. One
Of the most beautiful ..homes is that
of Mary Anderson, the actress, and
Martin Maloney, whose house is an
exact reproduction of the White
House in Washington.
The other drive is to Lakewood,
where is situated George Gould's
famous Georgian Court. On our
return we stopped at Sea Girt and
saw Gov. Woodrow Wilson's sum-
mer home. Five and six tents are
stretched on the lawn for the ac-

have taken up their abode there for

Judge Jones was not on board the

hero. Gov. Blease and his followers

ing to another) seemed to think it a
good joke. 1t reminded me that
Nero fiddled while Rome buried. :"
Judge Jones is aboard the scut-
tied wreck of a ship that just fits
in dimensions the boundary lines of
this state, with 224,s39 souls on
board, including the Pirate Captain
and his officers. together with his
financial crew intoxicated with the
boldness of their lawless captain.

from her pirate ca &ors, and anchor
her safely at her docks for repairs,
that she may unfurl her sails proud
ly to the breeze again, and resume
her old position as flag ship of this
mighty nation.
Will he do it? Answer me, you
wit? of the Hero" pun. Will he do
it, or will you continue in your

Mr.: Editor, it was amusing and

letter from some great big lawyer
from Washington D. c., writing
that Mr.. Byrnes was the exponent
of the farmers interest. Mr.. Byrnes
was reared in the city of Charleston
and only few years ago came into
our district and saw stalk of cot

Mr.. Byrnes does not know a

see Mr.. Byrnes try to take Mr.. Cal

ces of various kinds are held in
these buildings throughout the sum-
mer. The chief attraction is the
great auditorium, with a, seating
ca pacity of 10000, having 262
doors and windows, 1900 electric
lights and six miles of electric wir-
ing. With all it's immense size, the
faintest word can be distinctly
heard in all parts of the building
In the auditorium is the splendid
pipe organ, one of the largest in the
country, if not in the world. 1t is
operated by electricity, the organist
sitting at the keyboard about 80
feet from the organ proper. Every
day, the organist, Mr.. Clarence
Reynolds, plays wonderful compo-
sition, THE Storm which was ar
ranged especially to demonstrate
the possibilities of this organ. The
lights in the auditorium are turned
off and The Storm is given in
the darkness, which makes the illu-
sion more perfect, as flashes of
lightning are seen on the walls and
terrific crashes of thunder are heard,
followed by torrents of rain, and
the moaning of winds. 1t is almost
impossible to realize that it is not
real thunder storm. Children
sometimes are so frightened that
they are taken out and grown-ups
would be very nervous too if they
were not assured that it was an
imitation storm" Different melo-
dies are heard at intervals when
there is lull in the storm, also be-
fore it comes on and after it is over.
1t is story of the war and the
marching of the soldiers to the beat
of the drum is a perfect representa-
tion of such a scene. People from
other counties come here to see this
marvellous organ which is one of
the wonders of the world.
Much attention is given to the
musical feature of the Ocean Grove
summer program. Organ and band
concerts are frequently given and
always during the season, an orato-
rio is on the program. This week is
the celebration of the annual ami
versary of the Woman's Home Mis-
sionary society of the Methodist
church. Next week will be held the
annual convention of organists.
Children's day on last Sunday
was the most impressive service of
the kind II have ever seen. A large
white wooden ship was built on the
rostrum carrying white sails, all of
which was outlined by electric
bulbs. DR.. Charles Pierce gave a
chalk talk to the children on The
voyage of life," illustrating his re-
marks by means of the ship, bril-
liantly lighted. One thousand chill
dren participated in the exercises,
making one of the longest and most
effective parades of children that 1t Is
possible to bring together.
The Holy Land exposition in St.
Paul's Methodist church is al in
teresting place to visit. DR.. Moore,
a returned missionary from Pales-
tine, gives lectures on manners and
customs of the people of the Holy
Land. About fifty people of the
congregation assist him in the por-
trayal of the scene and are dressed
in native costume. We saw them In

and in street scenes in Jerusalem.

The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1912-09-21
THE ISSUE IN THIS CAMPAIGN IS:
PROHIBITION OR PROSPERITY.

Does Colorado want immigration
and capital to develop her resources,
or does she want to drive them away
as Kansas and Iowa have done?
Does Colorado want her wise and
tested local option laws repealed and
enforcement of the laws taken from
the hands of the city officials and
placed in those Of the state authori-
ties? This will happen IL statewide
prohibition Is voted for.
Does Colorado want low tax rate
or a heavy burden of taxation which
is inevitable under prohibition?
Does Colorado want a decreased
revenue by abolishing the saloon H.
cense without diminishing the sale or
use of liquor? That is what has oc-
CURED in prohibition states. Is there
any reason to suppose Colorado will
be different from all the rest?
Is not local option and local self
government the right way, the best
way. the most practical way. to de-
eide the license issue?

THE FARCE GOES MERRILY ON

Just one report from Fort Smith Of
seizures made Of contraband liquor en-
route to Oklahoma tells of the confis
cation OF a shipme- coffins loaded
with five-gallon jugs Of whiskey con-
cealed in a load Of wood, in a box Of
merchandise billed to woman's
name. and supposed to contain dry
goods, and in a box Of books. which
last would have gone through unsus-
pected, but that the literature"
sprang a leak.
And so the farce goes on Of at
tempting to enforce statewide prohi-
bition laws which never have been en-
forced. never will be and never can
be in communities where public sen
timent opposes them. Meantime.
enough stuff gets through undetected
TO make 1t worth while for 1858 re-
tailers and thirty wholesalers to pay
the government special liquor tax in
the statewide prohibition state Of
Oklahoma.
