EVEN DEMOCRATS DISSATISFIED.

1t is amazing with what utter unre-
papers of the country denounced the
revenue law on the day it was enacted
and demanded it's amendment before
Congress adjourned. That measure
was in the care of Representative Kit
chin, of North Carolina, while in the
House, and of Senator Simmons, also
of North Carolina, in the Senate.
Those two men were also the leading
members of the conference committee
which had charge of the final adjust
ment and wording of the act. 1t vas
through no desire of the taxpayers of
the country that two men from the
South, inexperienced in business, had
charge of the most important revenue
act ever passed by any legislative
body on earth. Those men were in
control because the South is always in
control when the Democratic party
has a majority in Congress. The Dem
ocratic majority in Congress was due
largely to the efforts of the Demo-
cratic press, which convinced the vot-
ers that we had b~een"kept out of war"
and would be kept out of war if the
blood-thirsty Republicans could only
be kept out of office. The Democratic
press got exactly what it worked for,
and if it does not like tax legislation
shaped chiefly by two men from North
Carolina, they know what they can do
about it.

LINWOOD FARMERS SUPPLIES
A HUsTLING ORGANIZATION

Owing to the rapid sale of stock of
the Linwood Farmers Supplies, it has
been deemed advisable in order to
still further sell stock that an open
meeting of the Board of Directors be
held so that the public may become
better acquainted with the workings
of this concern.
The public is hereby invited to at
tend an open meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Linwood Farmers
Supplies, to be held in the Grange
Room of Bargaintown Schoolhouse, on
Thursday evening, November Sth, at
8 o'clock.

VOTE THE STRAIGHT
REPUBLICAN, TICKET.

Tuesday next is General Election
day, and there is rapidly being brought
to a close one of the quietest cam
paigns Atlantic County has ever eX-
perienced. There has been a lack of
interest among the Democrats because
they realize that their cause is hope
less, while the Republicans confident
of victory could see no cause for great
activity. And the absence of Nation
al and State offices to be filled at this
election added to the causes for mac
tivity.
The P~leasantville Press has carried
at the top of this column since the
people made their choice the straight
Republican ticket, and it is a pleasure
to recommend it to our readers from
top to bottom. There is absolutely
no reason why any Republican should
fail to support it, and we expect every
true Republican to place his X mark
in front of the names appearing above.
Messrs. Blair and Cochran for the
Assembly have easy sailing, it's only a
question of how large their majority.
and they are just the kind of men
needed in the Legislature to assist
Governor Edge in the wonderful bust
ness administration he is giving to
the State.
Alfred ]. Perkins will make an ideal
Sheriff. Being a successful business
man, due to his w ingenuity, he
will carry into this Office his past ex-
D~eriences, and those having business
with the Sheriff's office will find him a
faithful, conscientious and obliging Of
fetal.
Albert G. Abbott has all the qualifi-
cations required for the important of
flee of Surrogate. He is a young man
of pleasing personality, capable in ev-
cry particular, and peculiarly fitted for
the responsibilities, that will befall
him in this position. You will make
no mistake in voting for Abbott.
For Coroners our own Albert E..
James, together with Geo. B. Stod-
dard of Atlantic City, are the nomin-
ees. Both of these gentlemen are emf
nently suited for this important post.
In the municipal election of Pleas
antville. City Clerk Nehemiah An
drews, Tax Collector Webster Price,
and Assessors Reuben E. Adams and
George M. Bates were re-nominated
without opposition because of the &C
ceptable ann in which they are
o filling their Offices. Councilmanic
candidates Charles M. Chattle and
Raymond G.. Ireland are making their
first solicitation for the suffrage of the
voters. They will no doubt prove sat
isfactory incumbents of the office. The
nominees for Constable and the nom
inee for Justice of the Peace are also
deserving of your support.
That victory will perch upon the
banner of the Republican party in At
lantic County next Tuesday there is
no question, but we urge every Re
publican to do his full duty by going
to the polls and voting the straight
ticket, and then see that your neigh
Dor does likewise.
