and Lambertville were both for
tunate in having four such COM
petent men as candidates. Any one
of them would have filled the office
satisfactorily, and would have done
all he could for the interests of the
City of Lambertville.
So far as the Lambertville Record
is concerned, Mr.. Kramer or Mr..
Meginnes will have to be elected or
defeated on their own merits, know
ing that whichever wins the office
will fill it with credit to himself
and to the city from which he halls.

Kramer

Meginnes
The Lambertville
Records position on
the Freebooter quest
ion, as between Harry

K. Kramer and William E. Meginnes
both of this city, is one of positive
neutrality. A few misguided
friends of these gentlemen have en-
deavored to sic" the Lambertville
Record into a controversy over their
respective merits, but we are not

sequence neither candidate will be
able to lay his defeat or credit his
election to any work upon our part.
1t should be said, in all fairness
to both candidates, that neither of
them have had any hand in this
scheming, and we are fully con-
fident that neither would counten-
ance such suggestion, after years
of acquaintance with each.
During the primary campaign
the LambertvilIe Record gave the
news of each candidacy, impartially
and never by pen or word did we
endeavor to shift a vote between
Messrs. Kramer, Fields or Ledger,
on the Democratic ticket, or for or
against William E. Meginnes on the
Republican. We felt and said,

gust for those who attempt to
measure our slit skirts by guess
from the opposite side of the street,
or of editors who make unnecessary
comments upon the dimensions of
our skirts or the depths of the Sits
therein.
Resolved, That hereafter such
editors who find evidence in the
manner in which we clothe our
selves, that so works upon their
sensibilities that they find it neces-
sary to make what we consider I'M
necessary editorial comment, that we
shall vote from the treasury of our
organization a sufficient amount OF
money to purchase for the use OF
such editors pair of binders for
them to wear when they are stand
ing about the street corners.
Resolved, That a copy of the
resolutions be sent to each editor
in Hunterdon county and that the
copies sent to the editors of the
Lambertville Record and the Glen
Gardner Avalanche be engrossed
and be sent under registered mail
to insure safe delivery"
We would like to say, for the
edification of Brother Killgore, who
is quoted above, that it just comes
to our notice that both the Beacon
and the Record may be right. 1t
seems that the slit skirt reported
to the Record was worn by pro-
nounced brudette, while the one
seen by the junior editor of the
Beacon was worn by blonde. As
1t is hardly likely to have been the
same skirt, in both cases, and we
nave no data as to the size of the
sits in the second skirt, it may be
that we have been unduly unkind
TO the Beacon in accusing them OF
fostering and encouraging a habit
not calculated to inspire higher
! ideals.

COlby's Memory Short.

Everitt Colby, the Progressive
candidate for Governor of New Jer-
sey, accuses Candidate Stokes of
being pro-railroad Governor, when
he filled that office some years ago.
Everitt's memory seems wonderfully
short, because it seems to us that
he advocated the limited franchise
law a few years ago, himself, and
if there is anything on the New
Jersey statute books that is more
pro-railroad and pro-Public Service
than that law, we would be tickled
to death to see it.

Philadelphia's Pig Question.

Down in the city of Philadelphia,
where most of us Lambertville folks
go when we venture away from
home, they have a question that
makes the tariff and other political
troubles look like fly speck seen
from the small end of a magnifying
glass. It's the pig question. They
have $4,000 of 'em in South Phila-
delahia, and every last porker has
set up squeal at the prospect of
being relegated to districts more
rural to make room for an extern
sion of the United States Navy
Yard.

Literature's High Plane.

Sometimes, when we look the
Lambertville Record over, we feel
that there is something lacking in
the literary atmosphere, and that
our language sounds crude and care
less, but after reading this month,
in the worlds greatest literary
magazine, an article that describes
a young lady as looking like some
thing that the pup found outside, !"
we begin to feel that we are not so
bad, after all.

Agrees With Mr.. Hunt.

John Kearns, a former Lambert

He agrees with Counsellor E. w.

appointed instead of elected.
