the Democrats contained 'jokers. He
stated that when the Republicans turn
ed wei the reins Of leadership to the
Democrats, three years ago, there was
q balance in the Treasury Of 81, O00, 900.
Today there is almost as great q def
cheney as there was q balance, there
being Q deficiency Of something like
81, 900, 900. He praised Bacharach,
Stevens, A. Carlton Hildreth and prac-
tically mentioned all the candidates.
In speaking about Bacharach, he eaid:
."IfYou@WAnt . Congressman who will
work for your interests, vote for MI.
Bacharach. He is q man who thinks
for himself. He will not allow the
Second Congressional district to be run
with a rubber stamp. You want men
In Congress who think for themselves
and who have the strength and cour-
age to back their ideas.n =
In speaking of MIR. Stevens, candi-
date for Assembly, Mr.. Richards said:
HE is a Republican. In all my bat
ties on the floor Of the House, I had
no better supporter than Lewis I.
Stevens. The interests of this State
and the Republican party demands his
reelection and / ask every voter In
Cape May County to give him undivid-
ed support"

publicans from the First Ward Repub-
lican Club and the Wildwood Repub-
lican Club added success to the meet

y A. Carlton Hildreth delivered an in
teresting address. He stated: 81. have
been over the county shaking hands
with the voters and / feel certain that
there is going to be q big Republican
sweep. Sentiment favors every candi-

apparently tired of Democratic policies
and are ready to come home and do
their share in restoring the happiness
and prosperity enjoyed under Republic
can rule"
