e for Congress because he has anothe
: year to serve as Senator. Mr.. White
| will be practically out of the Office o
} Senator when the time comes for taking
! seat at Washington, even though there
: might be special session of Congress
; called
: Just where Doc. Glasgow's strength in
his contest for the Democratic nomina-
ton for county clerk is to come from is
not now apparent, but the doctor evil
IDENTIFY knows, for he is a sly one. 1t is
quite certain that he cannot count fol-
much aid in Florence or Palmyra, for as
one FUCKERS its lips the other will whistle,
but they do say that the appointment
of Absalom and the fight over the Pal
myra postmastership has left bad taste
in the mouths of Democrats throughout
the county.
A Trenton dispatch says: mo opposi-
ton has yet developed in the Democratic
camp to the denomination of Congress
man j. Thompson Baker" OF course
not. Why should there be any opposi-
ton to his again running? 1t is practi-
cally certain that Republican will re-
place Mr.. Baker at Washington and the
Democrats of the Second district will be
as well satisfied with having j. Thomp-
son the goat as to have new fellow put
up to be beaten.

The Republican nomination for Con-
gress is keeping several persons on the
move and there is no certainty over the
result. Senator White appears to be in
the lead just at present, notwithstand-
ing former Senator Lewis is from this
county and is after the prize. Former
Assemblyman Joseph Salus, of Allan
tic, has withdrawn from the race, and
Isaac Bacharach is about to toss his hat
into the ring. Assemblyman Richards is
still in the contest. A conversation with
several prominent politicians of Atlantic
city reveals the idea that the contest
will be between White and Bacharach.
Former Congressman Gardner is re-
ported as being about to again try for
the nomination, but that gentleman is
attending to his farm near Indian Mills
and all reference to his position is mere
rumor He has not yet spoken on the
subject.
The latest recruit in the Democratic
ranks for the nomination for county
clerk is Joseph B. Lamson, of New
Gretna. Joe isa good fellow and is quite
popular in Democratic circles. He feels
that his part of the county is entitled to
recognition, and reviews the fact that
the Sheriff, two members of the Board
of Taxation and the secretary of the
latter body, come from the river front,
the secretary and one member of the
Board of Taxation coming from the
same township. OF course this applies
TO the Democratic party, as Mr. Lamson
mas nothing to do with the other organi-
zatlon policies. In addition to his
popularity he will have the unpopular
lty of Dick Hughes and some of the
latter's acts to aid him. There is no
against Richard, and his showing Joseph
kaighn one side in order to make room
for William Absalom is not pleasing to
the members of the Democratic party.
The retirement of Kaighn was not so
unpleasant, but the showing in of Absa-
lom and the attempt of the latter to get
the nomination for county clerk does
not sit WE'LL 1t is absolutely sure that
there is not entire harmony in the Dem
ocratic ranks.
Just think of it! James NJ. Smith
made Woodrow Wilson Governor, there
by elevating the latter so he could be-
come the chief ruler of the United States.
Then Woodrow showed his gratitude bv
turning Smith down and having James
MARITIME elected United States Senator.
And now, MARITIME, who, by all rules of
gratitude, ought to have stood by his
sponsor, has turned on President Wilson,
and voted against the latter's measure
of the tolls repeal. In his speech Sena-
tor MARITIME said: "About the only justi-
cation that has been offered by the
Senators on the other side is that it is
just to tickle Great Britain. oh, great
God! Mr.. President, they do not like our
form of government! Our Constitution
is not right. Ye ignoramuses of
America, educate yourselves, cleanse
yourselves by voting for repeal | APP
peal to the chairman of the committee
on labor pray and beg you to formu-
late bill that shall have for its pur
pose the education and the teaching of
the American people to give their very
souls away to Great Britain without a
whimper or murmur. AS to the amend
ment offered by the Senator from North
Carolina, Mr.. Simmons, it is as though,
in the highways, | was robbed of my be-
longings, and | tell the highwayman:
Use it, spend it as you WILL all l ask is
that you acknowledge, when you have
done so, that it belongs to mel Oh!
cannot vote for such tomfoolery under
any circumstances.
