The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1916-11-07
Political Notes.

The story in the Herald that Rev
Mr.. Zimmerman intends to vote
against Congressman Bacharach was
openly denied by the minister, at Lum
bertOn, yesterday. In addition to that
Mr.. Zimmerman spoke at a meeting
on Friday night in favor OF the re-
election of Congressman Bacharach.
There were predictions, from Demo
Gratis, of course, that the Republican
meeting at the court house, Thursday
evening, would be frost, but it was
exactly the opposite. The building
was crowded and some who went there
Is minutes after the meeting opened
were unable to get in. Judge Carey,
OF Hudson county, made a telling
speech which went right to the hearts
of his hearers. And there were some
in the audience who changed their
opinions ON how they were going to
vote to-day. The meeting was all
right.
The Democrats thought they had a
county parade but the Republicans
had real demonstration yesterday.
The start was made from Mount Holly
with nearly 100 automobiles in line.
Along the route others joined and when
the parade passed over the bridge at
Riverside there were 127 automobiles in
line, not counting the four music car
riages. There were crowds at each
stopping place ready and eager to hear
the speakers but the greatest interest
was manifested at Smithville, River
side, Roebling and Florence where the
factory employees turned out in force
and showed the most intense interest
in what was being told them. There
was no lack of enthusiasm at any place
along the route.
Before this paper reaches the majority
of the readers Of THE NEWS the cleo
ton will be over and the choice of the
people will be pronounced. We are
confident what the results will be.
The election of Hughes and Fairbanks,
while not absolutely certain, is so near
that end that we expect to hear the
news of Republican success has been
flashed from Maine to California. New
Jersey is not in the doubtful list. |
Former Senator Joseph 8. Freling-
huysen is going to make phenomenal
run for United States Senator and we
will not be laughing stock in that |
body. Senator Edge will be elected |
Governor by majority that will run
from 10000 up. In this county Charles
A. Rigg, for Surrogate, will have the
largest majority ever given a candi-
date and the rest of the ticket will not
be far behind him. The entire county
ticket will be successful. To make
this surety every voter must put in
his ballot. To those who get THE
NEWS before the poll closes we say be
sure to vote and do it early.
Betting does not prove anything but
t shows how those who indulge in the
pastime feel. There have been several
made of men who had any
where from $50 to $500 to bet on all
Iorts of propositions. One man who
lad been telling what he would do,
possibly with the idea that he would
lot be called, was unexpectedly waited
lpon by a gentleman from another
county who put up $500 that this state
will go Republican and asked for more
'ut he could not get it. 'Tammany
Hall, down High street, has had it's
hot air artists" at work for along
ime but the way in which money
oiled in during the last three days of
asst week made the Democrats stop,
ook and listen" Somebody will be
icher, and by the same token, some
'ody will be poorer tomorrow morn
