personal grievances n party politics
a place for a general public welfare
meeting. He decried the introduction
of Atlantic City politics and methods in
this region, because for such some had
been sent to prison from Atlantic City
and many others would have been if
honest jurors had been drawn. At last
falls election the special attention of
the Governor and a dozen United States
marshals were needed to insure an hon
est election.
Another citizen also cited that the
making of partisan politics the sole So
cial life of many, the everyday business
life of some ami the every Sunday relig-
ion of others was a new feature in the
sociology of Penns Grove and Upper
Penns Neck. During the past two hun
dred years many bitter political contests
have been held, but soon after election
all become common social American cit
liens and none felt the necessity to have
or go to the expense of maintaining a
personal, social, political machine to
maintain their security in Office or to
merit the spoils thereof.
The editor of the Penns Grove Record
would inform those who came from other
places where their whole life. social. bust
ness and religious on Sunday is taken up
with partisan politics. have a very narrow
view of American citizenship. That all
the political ills the world and Atlantic City
especially. has been heir to. have been due
to pussyfoot. taffy journalism and dark Ian
tern political doings.
While they may feel it their mission to
change Penns Grove and Upper Penns
Neck to their deformed views we would
remind them that they are living in a new
region. which was prosperous and happy
for a hunrded years before tqeir arrival. and
paid only one-third the lakes.
