II Was a Good Fair

The consensus of opinion appears tC
be that the Mount Holly Fair, last
week, was the best that has been held
for many years, perhaps better than
any heretofore given in the history OF
the present association. This applies
to practically all departments-exhi-
bits, horses, vaudeville and midway.
There were more of each and better
than usual. The only department
which did not excel former efforts was
that of agricultural products, which
was effected by the bad farming con-
ditions that prevailed this season. The
exhibits of cattle were numerous and
finer than usual, and there als) was
good showing of farm machinery
and poultry.
The weather was favorable, al
though early ON Thursday morning
there was rain, and the outlook for the
big daYwas not promising. Before noon
attendance that day was exceptionally
large.
Politicians were present daily, but
4AuiSudy Was nciu uhy lOl tllc DlR
fellows. Candidates for Governor
Runyon, Bugbee, Edwards, McDermis
and Nugent-w there on that day,
and each put his best foot forward and
assumed his best poise in order to
create favorable impression upon
voters. Candidate Bugbee had head
quarters during the week in a tent
near the grand stand, and had attrac-
tive young girls mingle with the
crowd and place campaign buttons on
the lapels. of voters coats and Incl
dentally said a good word for Bugbee.
Governor Runyon, at the request of
the fair management, delivered a brief
and pleasing address in front of the
grand stand, in which no reference was
made to political affairs.

PRIMARY VOTE OF SERVICE
MEN.

Attorney General McCran rendered
an opinion to Secretary of State Mar
tin, on Friday, to the effect that I'M
der the provisions of chapter As of
the laws of 1919, honorably discharg
ed soldiers and sailors Of the World
War can participate in the primary
election to be held September % as
first voters, which means that they
will be able to vote in any primary
box they choose, irrespective of
whether or not they are registered
and irrespective of how they might
have voted in any preceding general
election.
Service men throughout New Jer-
sey may go to the primary election,
with their proper certificate of dis
charge, and, in their own election dis
tricts, vote just as they see fit with
out likelihood of hindrance from cleo
ton officials, who are agents of the
state and bound to follow the opinion
given by the Acknowledgement.
The opinion Of the Attorney-Gen-
eral, in response to a request therefor
from the secretary of state, follows;
Answering your question as to
the right of soldiers and sailors, who
were absent from their election dis
tricts at the 1918 general election, to
vote at the coming primary election
in any box in which the soldier sees
fit to vote, desire to state that Chap
ter 246 of the Laws of 1919, common
| ly known as the soldiers and sailors
voting act, approved April II, 1913
specifically confers the right for
"Any persons who has been in ac-
tive service in the military or nava
forces of this state, or of the United
States, who is present in the election
district in which he resides at the
time of any primary election, who
would not otherwise be entitled t
vote because Of previous absence from
such election district and failed t.
vote in the previous year, and thu
shall have failed of registration, ant
who has been honorably discharges
| from such service, may vote at sue
primary election in any box in sue
election district in which he wishe
to vote, upon presentation to tn
proper election board Of certificat
showing his honorable discharge fror
the military or naval forces of TIL
, state or of the United States.
! "The Legislature has thus in clea
unambiguous language conferred tn
right upon a citizen of the Unite
> States in the military or naval servo
who was away from his general ele'
ton district in the state of New Jel
sey at the last election to vote at II
ensuing primary and to eliminate hi
" from the provision of the election la
which confined him to vote in the DC
provided for the party whose cand
dates he had voted for at the la
K general election that he participate
in"

A Joint Meeting

Twenty members OF the Bur
lington County Board of Freeholders
went to Tuckerton Friday to meet
with the Ocean County Board to dis
cuss the proposition of rebuilding the
line bridge at Mathistown. This
bridge was washed out recently and
a temporary structure is being used
which allows but one vehicle to cross
at one time.
The members of the two Boards
went to the bridge and after a consul
tation and examination returned to
the Carlton house, Tuckerton, where
joint meeting was held. Charles E
Joyce, director of the Burlington
County, Board was chosen as chair
man and Harry Hawkins, Jr., of this
county, was made clerk.
A resolution was adopted to build
conduits. This bridge being on route
four of the state highways New Jer-
sey will bear one-third of the cost of
the work The balance will be divided
equally between Burlington and Ocean
counties. The engineers of those
counties were directed to prepare
plans and specifications, present them
to the State Highway Commission
and to advertise for bids.
After this was done the members
from Burlington county held a meet
ing at which a resolution was adopted
authorizing the removal of the switch
on the trolley road on Main street,
Moorestown, opposite Chester ave-
nue.. This switch is now in a posi-
ton which interferes with travel.
When two cars are standing at that
point it is very difficult for autos or
wagons to get by. The street is now
being rebuilt and it was thought to
be a good time to move the switch.
1t will be placed further east-about
opposite the waiting room of the Bur-
lington County Traction Company.
Another petition was presented for
the removal of the trolley tracks at
the railroad station in Riverton, but
as the resolution was not properly
drawn consideration of the PROPOSE
ton was deferred until the next meet
ing.
Business concluded the members of
both Boards and some invited guests
were asked to take dinner at the Carl
ton House, an invitation that was ac-
cepted without a dissenting voice
Sixty persons sat down to one of the
most tempting meals that could be
served anywhere. The Kumpf broth
ers, owners of the hotel, were short
of walters but they took hold and
acted in that capacity and the SER
vice was excellent.
At the close of the dinner vote
of thanks was rendered to the Ocean
County Board for their hospitality
and vote was also taken commend
ing the .Kumpf brothers on the ex-
cellent meal served and for the
promptness in which it was placed be-
fore the guests.

RIVERSIDE.

While leaders of the new Watch
case Makers Union claim their men
are standing firm at the beginning of
the third week of the strike of en-
ployees of the Keystone Watchcase
Company and the Riverside Metal
Works, last week saw many of the
employees who quit with the strikers
back at their work Most of those
who have returned are native Amer
leans, and it was said at the plant
that they had not joined the union.
The strike is for the recognition of
the union; there is no complaint about
wages or conditions in the factories.
