"WATCH MCCORMICK"
WINSTON WARNS LANE
Independent Leader Says COP.
Should Not Scare Votes
Away

"McCcrmicl-he' get you il you don't
watch out"
This theme. phrased more elegantly. was
tossed at David II. Lane today by John c.
winston. Independent political leader, as
reply to the Republican city committee
chairman's admoniton that "Penrose had
better watch his step before starting the
threatened investigation of the Brumbaugh
administration.
Mr. Lane, expressing the hope that there
would he no probe, said. II never knew CT
an investigation yet that did anything be-
yond helping TO throw out the party in
power"
But Mr.. Winston retOrted:
There's another side that Mr. Lane prob
ably overlooks. With the present strong
sentiment behind the Wilson Administra-
ton, the Republicans will need all of the
Democratic votes they can get. and they'd
better not drive them away.
Besides. many Republicans are tired Of
the way things have been going on at Har-
risburg, with all the factionalism there
80 altogether Vance Mccormick as
Democratic candidate for Governor is likely
to make them all sit up and take notice
That line of thought does not occur to Mr.
Lane when he talks about the Brumbaugh
investigation"
State Senator Edwin II. Ware would not
comment on the Lane opinion.
I've been quoted so many times on this
would be useless to say anything now" he
said.
George Wentworth Carr, independent
said he had no opinions on the subject
state Senator James p. McNichol was not
in his office. 1t was said he was some
where over in the Hall" but in tour of
the municipal building he was not visible.

Movement to Organize
Home Guard in Wildwood

Capt. John E. ODaniel, a member of the Cape May
County Committee of Public Safety, has been requested by
the State authorities to organize a Home Guard for our own
safety and protection, to serve only in our city, except in
great emergency. All persons from 18 to "a are eligible.
There should be a hundred men in this locality to volunteer
for this purpose at once. 1t is your patriotic duty to your
Country, State and Home. No one can tell at what moment
an emergency may occur that might need men trained in
the use of arms. Of course, we do not expect this TO hap
pen, but oftimes the unexpected does happen. A prelimi-
nary meeting was held last night in the city hall and nine
teen men signed up. Another meeting will be held next
Wednesday night. Any information can be obtained of
Captain ODaniel at the store, corner Pacific and Oak ave-
nues. The following men signed up last night and thereby

That Fish Law Again

When COrsville E. Stille wanted the
nomination for Assembly on the Re-
publican ticket this fall, to get the Up

your method of earning a living" etc.,

seeks to defeat Mark Lake at the gener-
al election on November 9th, and he,
too, shouts, "Remember the Lake Fish
Law,"in his appeal to Upper Town
ship voters.
Both Mr.. Stille and MI. Laning
must have small conception of the In
telligence and thoughtfulness of the
Upper Township voters to ex pect them
to fall for this ancient bunk. AS a
matter of fact the Lake Fish Law was
a protective measure, pure and simple.

while the waters In their own ounty
were closed. 1t is a matter of record
that the only opposition to the passage
of the Lake Law was from Atlantic
county, and the law was aimed solely
at the fishermen of that county.
When all is said and done, there is
scarcely a bakers dozen of voters in
Upper Township who follow seine fish,

protected by the Lake law, inasmnch
as the law prevents fishermen from a

Lake and Laning
Are Getting Active
Local Option Figures Strongly In
Assembly Fight This Year;
General Election Novem-
Der 9Th

With the minds of the voters filled
with Liberty Bonds, war, coal and the
high cost Of living, politics were rel
TO the background during the
past few weeks. General election Is
only a few days off, however, and the
candidates for the only two county
offices to be filled this year are COM
mencing to buzz arouud.
Mark Lake Is the regular Republican
nominee for the Assembly, defeating
his Republican opponent at the Prl-
mary election; he Is opposed by Sam
uel Laning, the Democratic candidate,
of Wild wood.
The issue this year between the two
candidates is clean cut. Mr.. Lake is
pledged to local option, and Mr.. Lam
ing, openly an advocate of liquor. is
being supported by the the wet forces.
Party lines are being lost sight of in
the booze s%cuffle, and the winner will
be decided largely on this Issue. With
Cape May county normally 1900 Repub-
lican majority, however, Mr.. Laning,
despite his independent tendencies
and his lining up with the liquor eIe-
ment, will have a hard row to hoe to
defeat Mr.. Lake.
Local option has never before been
go decidedly an issue as this year
though 1T was on this platform that
Senator Stevens won out over his op-
ponent at the Primaries, and in the
general election two years ago.
Ex-Judge Harry S. Douglass is the
Republican nominee for Surrogate,
while e. l.. Rice, the present Surro-
gaze. aud a democrat, will oppose him.
Mr.. Douglass Is making an active
camraign, and his election is conced-
ed. as it is almost certain be will poll
the full Republican majority. The Re
publicaDs Of the county are solidly be-
hind him TO a man, and many Demo-
Gratis concede that his exptr ence in
public office, and his legal training,
make him a man we'll fitted for the
office.
The election will be held on Tuesday ?,
November 6, and the polls will be open
from 6 a. m. to 7 p. m.-Sea Isle Times.
