direction, while at the same time he ha
sufficient knowledge of what is required
in the Office to make him a valuable
member. Edward P. Hullings, candi
date for township collector, is foreman

ship committee we have Albert G..
Mayer and Joseph Taylor. These are
their proper names. but they are more
Familiarity known as ZAP and zoe"
1t is hardly necessary to mention them,
Mayer has had experience in all branch
es of township work and has proven
himself capable. The large vote-517-
that he got in the primary shows that
he has the confidence of the people.
Joe" Taylor is new to political circles
but his vote indicates that he has lot
of friends and that he will give his time
and attention to the Office there is no
doubt.
Robert nj. Brown was chosen as the
candidate for supervisor of roads. Robert
is an old soldier and is worthy of the
support Of every voter. He will I'LL the
Office to the satisfaction of all.
Samuel K. Gaskill, of Northampton,
and John c. Bolton, of Moorestown, are
the Republican candidates for coroner
Mr.. Gaskll is we'll known as an up right
energetic, intelligent citizen, and he will
make good coroner. Mr.. Bolton won
out by small majority. He ran we'll
at his home. He gained some promi-
hence as a witness in a murder trial here
some years ago.
Stuart W. Mcfarland has filed the
office of county auditor for one year and
he has shown himself faithful and
capable official. He will be reelected
It is too early, as well as illegal, to
make bets on the election and it is
equally premature to be sending out
threats. One of the latter is that if |
a certain candidate is not supported |
to the limit, Harold B. Wells and En-
NOR Roberts will be defeated. This
threat probably comes from people
who would like to see our candidates
for Senator and Assembly defeated |
and who, in all probability, will not
only talk against them but will cast |
their ballots likewise. But it will not |
do any good. Wells and Roberts will |
be elected and all threats to knife |
them will strengthen their cause.
