The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1919-09-30

The ticket nominated by the Repub
lican party, on Tuesday, is one with
which there cannot be any fault found
as there Is not candidate on it who il
not qualified for the office he seeks.
1t is nonsense now to indulge in per
! sonalities that will only breed dissen
sion. The one thing that should be
I uppermost in the mind of every citizen
Republican and Democrat, is to elect
the best men in order that the affairs
of state and county may be conducted
to the best advantage of all.
Our candidate for Governor-Comp-
troller Bugbee-has been discussed Sc
much during the term preceding the
primary that he and his record as q
public official are well known. Be
yond the fact that there were some who
wanted another candidate there is
nothing to prevent his having undi-
vided support of his party with help
from good citizens of other faiths who
know Mr.. Bugbee to be man of hon.
or and integrity.
| For State Senator Blanchard H.
White is also well known. He has
served in this position before and he
has nothing to apologize for in his
official life.
Assemblyman Emmor Roberts did
not have any opposition and that he
will be returned to the field that he
has so successfully occupied is GER
tainty.
One OF the most strenuous contests
was that over the Office of county
clerk. William H. Reeves was sue
eessful over the present occupant of the
Office. This fight if it may be so
termed was not one of bitterness and
neither candidate INDUCED in fiinging
mud at the other. Both were well
known and it was hard for some voters
to decide which man he wanted to cast
a ballot for. Mr.. Reeves was the
choice Of his party. He has occupied
positions of trust in his township and
for the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and he undoubtedly is equipped
for the office of county clerk. He is in
a position to give the Office his entire
attention and he will be a representa-
tive OF the people in every sense Of the
word.
| Charles A. Bovine, steward OF the
lalmshouse, is another who was renom-
mated without opposition. Mr.. Bovine
has carefully conducted the business
OF caring for the INDECENT inmates OF
ahe institution over which he prssides
and his election is an assured fact.
Il In the matter Of members OF the
\ small Board Of Freeholders the selec
| tions made could not have been more
evenly distributed il the county haC
been districted as many thought ought
to have been the case. There was az
effort made to have the river front
control the situation, but that section
got two candidates. Mount Holly, one
Chester one; and Washington. in tbs
lower end Of the county. one.
The individual candidates we viii
take in their alphabetical order. Ed
ward T. Haines, of Northampton. ia |
; member Of well-known family Of thi
county. He has served in the Board
of .Freeholders and was sealer o
weights and measures, in which ofic,
he was doing good work until he was
ousted by . Democratic Board of Free
holders which wante to have tn
Office for one Of their own persuasion
Not one word was said against the wal
In which Mr.. Haines was performing
his duty. His removal was for politicl
only. He is deserving Of hearty sup
port.
Pred Lippincott is a Moorestowr
farmer. Hs has been connected with
many of she institutions in which the
farming community is interested and
he has q knowledge of the needs Of
that class, especially in the way Of
maintaining good roads. He will give
his entire attention TO the office and
he will make good member.
George 3. Maxwell. who did no
have any opposition for the one-yea
term. comes from q section OF thu
county that il particularly deserving
Of representation on the Board. Ant
there is nobody better fitted to looi
after the interests of the people Of hi
neighborhood than George 8. Maxwell
He is a mar of undoubted honesty ant
deficiency, close student OF COUNTY
affairs and he should be given the
vote he deserves.
Geofge w. Rogers is on the ticket q
the representative of the lower section
OF the river 'front.'" But he will no
be one who will see only one part
the county. He is broadnainde'
enough to know that there are osne
places that need attention. While a
halls from Palmyra he has a larg
acquaintance all over the county, be
ing in business which takes him y
every section Mr.. Rogers will max
an admirable member Of abe bod.
that will have the affairs Of the count.
to look after the next three years.
Last, in alphabetical order, but no
least, by any means, is Charles r
Stout, of Florence. 1t was freel
stated that Charley would be the hig
man on the ticket for this positio
: and, despite the fact tina he had bee
told in advance that he did not hsv
any chance OF being nominated an
0 was advised to get out, he ran as wa
D expected. During his membership o
r the Board now in existence MIR. Stou
, has shown himself to be man {
keen perception and ability to cor
with the various questions in whic
the county is interested. Not or
II word can be said against him, person
D. ally or politically. He is farmer
