Photograph Records Wanted
For Boys in the Service.

Photograph records are be-
ing collected this week and next

through his records and select
all of those which are no longer
popular with him to send to our
sailors and soldiers. Lambert

records of any kind are accept
able provided they are in good
condition.

Loan Went Over the Top.

Subscriptions to the Fourth
Liberty Loan from this distrist
-Lambertville and vicinity
now total $457 900, or $12,100
over the top, which had been
set at $445,800. This is most
gratifying result. The sub
scription of the employees at the
Ireland quarries was last week
Inadvertently omitted by the
chairman, and is hereby ac-
knowledged for $4,000. Also,
the subscriptions of our two
city banks the Lambertville
National for $4,000, and the
Amwell National for $4,000.
Acknowledgment is also made
of the generosity of the Grand
Army Post in loaning their in
valuable collection of war rel
les for exhibition in the show
window of the Holcombe store.
and to the others who contrib
uted to the display. Especially
noteworthy was poster de-
signed for the occasion by Miss
Della Barber, and displayed
among the relics of 1918, the
loan of the Government. The
thanks of the committee are
also given to Thomas Mount
ford and Charles w. Bair, Jr.,
who so generously contributed
the tasteful decorations, and to
Mrs. George M. Holcombe for
the use of the building.
The Fourth Liberty Loan
Window Dressing contest was
won by Smith & Bair, they be-
ing the ones who received the
largest number of votes.

To the Voters of HunterdOr
County:

One year ago | was a candi-
date for local office, and while
| was Republican, | did not hes
itate to declare that | stood by
the President; so long as he was
President of the United States
he was my president. War is
brutal. 1t can only be waged
successfully by autocratic con-
troll. A democracy can only
defend itself by united sup
port of it's constituted authori-
ties.
The greatest danger to de-
mocracy has always come when
the military leader has sought
to gain personal, political, par
tisan profit. / now feel it on
my conscience to declare that
the support that has been given
should not be used for personal
ends.
The time is at hand when we
shall have to deal with condi-
tions that have arisen under
autocratic control as a war ne
cessity, and it is no less import
ant that autocracy should be
avoided in business, social and
moral conditions than that it
may have been necessary in war.
for United States Senator, Con-
gresham and State Senator, if
elected, will deal with these
questions. They have shown
themselves able to rise above
partisanship and their personal
and business standings give
them highest qualifications for
these duties.
