Our Candidates.

Our Candidates.
The ticket presented by the Repub
lican party for consideration by the
voters at the election next month is
one that can be supported by every
taxpayer. regardless of politics.
Hon. Emmor Roberts, candidate for
member OF the Assembly, has given
such satisfaction that he will not have
any opposition for reelection. Not
having made any nomination at the
primary, the Democrats attempted to
fill that part of the ticket by inducing
John ID. McMullin, of Moorestown, to
be the candidate. That gentleman is
perfectly qualified for the Office and
would make good member, but he
has sufficient business that pays well
and does not feel like simply being on
the ticket for sacrifice, as it is plain to
be seen that Mr.. Roberts will sweep
the field against any candidate. There
is not the slightest excuse for retiring
the present member for he has been
diligent and has represented the county
in q way that has secured for him
praise not only in his home county
but he has received commentator
from his fellow-members from all parts
of the state.
The Office that will create the most
interest in this county is that Of Sheriff.
The Republicans have named A
Engle Haines, of Lumberton Mr.
Haines is farmer, man of ability
and perfectly qualified to fill the Office
he has been named for. He is a life
long resident of this county and may
be relied upon to peform his duties for
the benefit of the taxpayers, and he
will receive the support of the public
who want to see the Office OF Sheriff
conducted on business methods. He
is being given much encouragement
Ia the quiet. but effective campaign he
is conducting.
Henry /. Worrell was so well thought
an candidate for County Auditor over
one of the best known members of the
party in this county and one who is
tireless when he is campaigning. II
was not any reflection on Mr.. Benners
that he was not nominated but it was
a high tribute to Henry /. Worrell that
the voters should give him such nice
vote and put him in line for election
to an Office that needs a man of his
qualifications. There need not be any
fear that he will not FIJI the bill or that
the county's interests will not be prop
srly protected under his supervision in
the department that he will fiji.
For coroner, Clark B. Rogers. Of
Bordentown. has been selected. He is
not any stranger to the people of this
county and knows what is required in
this very important Office.
There are some township offices to be
filed. The first to be mentioned is
that Of township committee. For this
Office we have two candidates-Charles
C. Cowperthwait and William H. Ma
SON. The former is member of the
present body and is chairman of the
committee. He has had charge of the
financial end of the work. Assistant
cashier of one of the banks of the town
he is well versed in the duties that
have come to his part OF the work.
Mr.sMAson served three years in the
committee and proved himself a very
sompstent and efficient member. His
connection with an institution which
requires accuracy in financial affairs
makes him very suitable companion
for Mr.. Cowperthwait in that particu-
lar line, but that is not the only item
In which they are to be considered as
both hava very general and compre-
hensivs idea OF how the town should
be governed.
John D. Mason, who aspires to be
the Assessor, is well known to nearly
every citizen of Mount Holly. He is
perfectly qualified for the Office and
will give 1t strict personal attention.
During his long residence In this town
he has become acquainted with the de-
tails that go 70 make q good Assessor.
There is another Office which Is both
. township and county affair. 1t is
that of Chosen Freeholder. The Re-
publicans have placed on their ticket
Eckford M. Watson, a gentleman who
recently retired from business and who
has time to attend to the Office without
any side lines to interfere with his
work. While he Is not so well known,
possibly,as his opponent, yet he is get
ting acquainted and all who meet him
are satisfied with his appearance and
feel that he will make good represent
alive. While this Office is not neces-
sarily one OF political importance, yet
there Ia no good reason why Republi-
can Northampton should be repre-
scented in the Board by a Democrat,
especially when the former possesses all
the qualifications that are necessary to
make good official.
There are several candidates for the
minor offices, constable and other posi-
tions. They will all call on the voters
and they will give chance to see what
they are like.
The Republican ticket is one that
any voter, regardless of politics, need
not hesitate to support. The election
Of the men on it will ensure good gov
eminent and faithful performance of
official duties.
