Political Notes.
Former State Senator William J.
Bradley, of Camden, died in a PhiIa-
delphia hospital Friday, following an
operation for kidney trouble.
sOf course the Democrats are doing
something toward supporting Irven
! Kollo, the Democratic candidate for
, Assembly. Iryen lives at Riverside
, and there are some people down there
who are not satisfied with the actions
of Assemblyman Roberts on the local
option question. Bat Mr.. Roberts was
an able representative, one who gave
general satisfaction and the people will
, not be willing to dispense with his
; services to make room for an mex
perienced man.
John Dugan, of Mount Laurel, who
has been the foremost Democrat of his
township in many campaigns, has al
lowed his name to be used to fill gap
on the ticket, and he appears as the
opponent of Charles A. Bovine, Stew
ard of the Almshouse. The Demo-
cratic supporters of John are urging
the people to remember Mr.. Dugan
on election day." There is not much
chance of forgetting John if the latter
once makes your acquaintance.
| The Democrats have fixed upon next
Monday as the time to mako the big
automobile display and parade of cam
didates throughout this county. H.
Otto Wittpenn, candidate for Cover
nor, will be- with the party and will
speak in various places The Herald
says The will bring an important mes
sage to his supporters in Burlington
county" This will be very nice in
Otto but what his democratic sup
porters will have to send to him on the
night Of election will not be SO
pleasing.
| Different methods are, to be employ
ed to awaken the voters of the county.
| The Republicans will have piano
which will be taken around the county
and enliven the citizens with it's music.
The Democrats are going to have mus
ic, also, but they are using different
! methods in their campaign. They are
going to make the voters dance. A
hall has been engaged and there will
be dances frequently: This will not be
the old-fashioned style of ''crec.dng
the whip to make them da2ce," but
the means will be softened by music
which has charms" ''On with the
dance, let joy be unconfned," will be
the Democratic slogan.
DIR. Harry Vaughan, of Morristown,
has been named by the local option
party as its candidate for Governor.
George l.. Record received number
of votes for the nomination for that
office on his local option platform but
failed to secure the prize. Notwith-
standing Mr.. Record told what he
would do on the local option issue if
nominated and elected, that party did
not seem to consider him the. man to
be taken up on petition and they
selected Mr.. Vauhan who is not only
local option man but prohibitionist.
The Democratic papers are jubilant
over the nomination, feeling that it
will greatly aid in the defeat of Sena-
tor Edge.
A special effort is going to be made
to displace county auditor Mcfarland
at the election next month, but the
Democrats have not given any real
good reason why there should be
change in this Office. Mr.. Mcfarland
has given his time and attention to
the Office despite the fact that the
isalary is not in accordance with the
amount of work he has to do. But he
knew when he took the place what he
was to receive, so that is not used here
as an argument. But as a matter of
passing interest it may not be alniss TO
call attention to the report of the grand
Jury, in which that body says mo
man should be expected to serve the
public as auditor unless adequately
compensated for his time and the re-
sponsibility assumed" But Mr.. Mac
farland is not seeking reelection with
the idea of getting higher pay. He
feels that he has served the county
: with a faithfulness that deserves
: recognition and that he should be re-
tanned in position he now holds.
Saturday evening, October %, has
been selected as the Date for big Re-
publican rally and parade at Moores-
town and plans are being prepared to
make this the largest demonstration in
the campaign. The Moorestown Re-
: publican club will have charge of this
! event and will be assisted by the
County Republican Executive Com
mittee. 1t is intended to have large
, cavalry, automobile and marching
sections il the parade. Several towns
are already arranging floats and wagon
: transparencies. Four bands of music
! have been engaged, in addition to the
bands that will be taken to the town
o by the visiting clubs. Every town in
Burlington county, with many IL
Camden county, are expected to be re-
presented. After the parade refresh
ments will be served and short adj
dresses will be delivered by the candi
t dates who are expected to be present

Reeve Stewart is making an activ
canvass for election as Surrogate on tn
Democratic ticket. There seems to b
a necessity for showing that Stewart a
W q collector of this township was yer,
honest, but there is no necessity fo
U any such procedure as nobody has eve
said word that would intimate tina
~ he is or ever has been dishonest. Reev
Stewart is nice fellow. He is d stron
W Democrat and a pretty slick" polit
clan. He has been in the emplo
oO of the Pennsylvania Railroad Con
~ pany for a number of years, and witt
~ out speaking to his disparagement
W may safely be said that he is bette
40 qualified to run steam engine tina
RS he is to conduct the affairs of the Su
ID rogate's Office, putting him in con
in parison with Charles A. Rigg. Every
IN thing that can be said about Stewal
of as to honesty may be said of Mr.. Rig
az who has the advantage of having
n thorough knowledge of the duties {
Is Office, having served term as deputy
We In addition to this Mr.. Rigg has ha
~ considerable practice in the Orphan
V. court and the county might be searcl
ns ed from one end to the other before
he better candidate than Charles A. Rig
to could be discovered.
n 1t is reported that Democratic Leaf
ch ers in New Jersey have abandoned a
OF hopes of carrying the state for WilSC
IT for President and of electing Martin
TO to the United States Senate and a
he concentrating all their efforts TO Il
In election of Wittpenn as Governor.
A different parts of the state the Dem
are Gratis are endeaVoring to arrange I
by trading, whereby Democrat W
ew agree to vote for Hughes and Frelin
a huysen, providing Republican agre
OF to vote for Wittpenn. Republica
ing should, under no circumstances, ma
ted any such agreement; because, in
Die first place, as a general rule, when
mn Democrat makes such a bargain he
very apt to forget about it at volt
I'M time and is particularly likely to try
2oO make the same bargain with other
lpublicans and even il carried out,
