THE LOCAL POLITICAL POT
REACHES BUBBLlNG STAGE
Albert {. James Withdraws His Can
didacy for Assembly Nomination.

Somebody kindled the fire under the
local political pot this week and it is
now burning vigorously. At a gather
ing Tuesday evening at the residence
of Mayor Crawford, presided over by
William Hauenstein, Albert E. James
announced that having failed to secure
the backing of the organization for the
Assembly, he would not be a candi-
date in the Republican primaries for
the nomination.
The only Offices to be filled in Pleas
antville this fall are a Councilman
from each ward. In the First Ward,
Robert H. Zane will endeavor to Sc
cure the seal now held by Michael
Lutz, the lone Democratic member of
that body, while Edward n. Meloney
will be a candidate to succeed himself
in the Second Ward. Whether or not
these men will be opposed in the Re-
publican primaries is not known at
this time, but talk of a contest is
persistent. There are two members of
the Republican County Committee to
be elected from each ward. Several
names have been mentioned, but no
definite decision has yet been reached
in this matter.

AT PRESENT.

Acting upon the recommendation of
County Engineer Nelson the Board of
Freeholders at their meeting last We'd
nesday took no action looking to the
reconstruction of the paving along the
Shore Road from Absecon to Somers
Point.
The County Engineer and County
Solicitor were directed, however, to
confer with the officials of the Allan
tic & Suburban Rwy. Co. to determine
what action and support the company
can give the county in the repairing
of the highway, which is in a deplor-
able shape.
Mr.. Nelson in his report stated that
he had secured the services of H. L.
Breed, deputy highway commissioner
of New York state. After a careful
survey of conditions it was agreed that
with proper application of amiesite in
places where the roadway is in bad
shape, it would suffice for at least two
years and give the county a depend
able highway.
When the time comes for reconstruc-
ton, MI. Nelson advised entire change
of construction.

RIGHT ROYALTY ENTERTAIN.
Most Elaborate Repast Prepared BY

To be entertained by DR.. and Mrs.

charming young daughter, Miss Sarah
Eccles. To see 1000 peach trees load

ches, made us think that here at least

ones salary for a week to have really

were bringing, then we knew we were

enough alone to tempt any appetite,
and everything, outside of the serving
and aftermath, done by the fair hands
of the hostess. DR.. Eccles and his
family took Mr.. Vaughne back to the
Pleasantville depot in their magnifi-
cent new car, as he had come. Mr..
and Mrs. Heggin took the McMahons
in their car, when we finally did re-
member that we had homes to go to,
although not possessing that wonder
full story-book fireplace, that the Dr.'s
children must have sat before often,
waiting for all the little reindeer to
descend, and their jolly old st. Nick

cook such a good dinner (sighs of &C.
stasy) and afterwards array herself
like the Queen of Shebai" Despite
this, though, one of the said wives,

she puts up fried tomatoes), wandered
bedward, finally, murmuring sleepily,
