Political Notes.


There were only two applicants for ex-
animation under civil service for mem
bership on the third district board OF
election in this township. They were
James II. Anderson and F. Reginald
Shannon.

SMILE
DR.. r. B. Glasgow, OF Burlington, is
asking this question: "What is to pre-
vent my getting the Democratic nomi-
nation for Sheriff." The answer given
him by q Mount Holly gentleman was:
Nothing but lack Of the proper num-
Der of votes" At this the doctor. wink
ed his eye and said Watch me-
Speaking of funny things man who
has posed as q Republican Of outspok-

that he was for Colgate because another
gentleman was for Edge. Later, when
this fellow was being iollied because he
was on the losing side and was advised to
get over with the winning party, he
swelled up and remarked: ut is princi-

short time, he said, the names Of those
who were present-not the invited ones,
as had been insinuated-would be pub
lished that the entire state might know
who had spoken. That the entire senti-
ment Of Passaic county was for Senator
Edge would be shown in no uncertain
manner on the day of the primary cleo
ton. The people of that county, as well
as OF the entire state, had watched his
course and knew him to be an honest,
conscientious, painstaking legislator.
After humorous reference to the fact
that various counties in the state, when
wanting good men for Office, had been
compelled to take natives of Burlington
county, Senator Wells introduced w.
Frank Sooy, of Atlantic City. Mr.. Sooy
recalled the days when, as boy, he
played around the court house and listen
ed to the members OF the bar arguing
cases before luries. He went to Atlantic
City in 1904, and he spoke of the con-
dition of affairs in the city-gamblinp.
barrooms open on Sunday, all sorts Of
doings day and night, weekday and
Sunday. Gradually there had come a
change, and today Atlantic City stands
as high, morally, as many cities in the
state, and higher than some. He told
how former Mayor Riddle had attempted
to have everything wide open" and
how he had told Senator Edge what the
latter might expect if he did not join
forces with the Riddle gang and help
hand the city over to those who wanted
more freedom. Senator Edge not only
refused to come under the thumb of the
gangsters, but he had the newspapers in
which he was interested open fire, and
be told Riddle that if silence was the
price OF his securing the Gubernatorial
nomination, then he would go to defeat
Today, Mr.. Sooy said, Atlantic City is
clean, and Walter E. Edge is entitled to
much OF the credit for that condition.
This concluded the speaking. The au-
dience had been sitting and listening
with profound attention, for over two
hours. At the close of the meeting SEN
ator Edge stood at the platform and
shook hands with nearly every man in
the room.

Unusual movements in money and
foreign rates attracted particular at
tention in the early part of the week.
Call money Monday rose to per cent.
equal to the highest rate made before
in the present year. Time money rates
have also been marked upward, coupled
with a determination on the part of
the bankers to scrutiniZe most closely
the collateral offered for loans.
Exchange on Berlin and Vienna de-
clined to new low levels for the year
in a heavy output of offerings, with
very slight demand AT 61.is&. cents

nearly IS cents under the normal quo

per cent from normal.

mere was considerable evening up of
commitments on both sides in the local
cotton market today. Early in the ses-
SION the selling movement of yesterday
sun was in evidence, but later there
was a steadier feeling and a net ad-
vance was established on moderate
fresh buying. The drop of 81 points
IN local spot quotations was viewed I'M
favorably and the close was at a net
loss of to points
In the early trading the market lost
) to IL points and the tone was not
good The soft spot tempted buyers

taxing by shorts became a factor. On
this demand there was a quick upturn
which put the most active months 3 to
b points over yesterdays close This
was the high of the session. Offerings
gradually increased from this point on
Even at the decline of 81 points, bull
'sh traders pointed out, spots were
well above futures, and the argumen,
gave the market a steady tone at the
decline.
