The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1914-10-07

One hundred years ago Napoleon
arrived at the Gulf of st. Raphael
and embarked on the English frig-
ate Undaunted, which was to carry
him to the little island of Elba, in
the Mediterranean, to which he had
been exiled by the victorious allies.
His wife and son were at the same
time leaving Rambouillet, where the
Austrian emperor had come to- get
his daughter and take her home with
him. She started for Vienna, after
sending assurances to Napoleon of
her constant attachment, and the
wish she felt to visit him soon with
her son. But this wish was soon for
gotten by Maria Louisa. After her
return to Austria her time was spent
in the most frivolous occupations,
and Napoleon's solicitations that she
should join him were utterly disre-
garded.-Western Newspaper Union.

Whom You
Should
Vote For

their ballots at the November cleo
ton. There are many good men
on both tickets and the proper duty
of a citizen who believes in our
form of government is to vote for
the man he believes best fitted for
the office.
Taking the Democratic ticket as
a whole, there'sRno man who, if
elected. can really discriminate be-
tween Democracy and Republicanism
excepting Rev. Harry j. Iobst, the
Assembly candidate. AS a member
of the Legislature he could throw
his influence to partisan measures,
if he so willed. The Republicans
offer Phillip R. George as a sub
stitute for those who do not wholly
approve of the state and national
legislation that is now being offered
us.
None of the other candidates, on
either ticket, have anything to do
with legislative matters, and should
be voted for as men, not party. In
Mr.. Iobst's and Mr.. Georges cases
It should be matter entirely as to
which you think will best represent
your own views.
A split ticket, based upon your
personal choice of candidates, is far
preferable to a straight ticket based
upon the primary choice of a party.
In the Congressional fight every
voter has chance to whack Wood
row Wilson and his free trade farce
nv voting for Elijah c. Hutchinson.

One good Democrat, for whom
we have very fair degree of re-
spect in everything except his de-
sire to uphold Wilson, thinks the
editor Jof the Lashbertville Record
should suffer untold punishment in
"a sub-tropical cline for his opposi-
ton to Allan B. Walsh for Congress.
If Walsh wants to run for Mercer
County Office, and the people want
him, all we'll and good, but don't
unload him upon us Hunterdon

Barkley's Address to Voters.
TO THE REPUBLICANS OF HUNTERDoN

TO THE REPUBLICANS OF HUNTERDON
COUNTY.
The primaries have been held,
and all parties have selected their
standard bearers.
The Republican party had contests
for the nomination for al, the officers
save one. Under a condition like
this, there is necessarily as many
disappointed ones as voted for the
losing candidates. Let us remember
that there must be disappointment,
no matter which candidates won,
but let the disappointed remember
that had they been the winners they
would have expected the loser to
swallow their disappointment and
give to them their hearty support
at the election, November Sd:
That is what the winner always
expects and has the right to expect,
so let us join hands, winners and
losers, and give to our most excellent
candidates our hearty and undivided
support.
On Tuesday, September o., we
were divided party; let US, from
this time be an undivided party,
presenting solid front to the COM
mon enemy. Then, if we are as
enthusiastic as we were for our
choice of candidates at the primary,
it will be possible to win a glorious
victory.
There are many signs that in
dictate that the good people of our
county are dissatisfied with present
conditions, and will assist us to
overthrow the present incompetent
rule; but we must present solid
| front divided we fall, united we
win.
To all Republicans who voted for
me for the nomination for Sheriff,
| extend my sincere thanks. | appre-
ciate it, and hope that every man
in the county who did so will sup
port and vote not only for my late
opponent, who'is now the Republican
candidate for Sheriff Eek Sheriff
Green) but for the whole Republican
ticket.
Yours for the success of the
G. O. P.

mittee.
