An open letter to the voters of Penns
Grove Borough.

An open letter to the voters of Penns
Grove Borough.
Dear Voters:
November the Sth will be cleo
ton day, and each one of the two
parties has a full ticket in the field,
asking your suffrage. In a purely
Borough election party lines should
not be as strictly followed as in State
or National elections, as OfttimeS
party politics is a bane to good gev-
eminent.
Penns Grove has yet time to re-
fleet upon the sort of officials they
have elected during the past few
years. If they have not already done
their rejecting, and after having
taken stock, | feel that their intelli-
gence will keep them from committing
the same folly as they have fallen in
to in the past. With the new element
(women) into the warp and whoof of
our body polite, | feel that a high
sense of responsibility is rampant in
our midst. Therefore, when a marked
sample ballot is handed to a woman,
| mean a real home woman, she will
not fail to inquire into the present
and past habits and the various abili-
ties of those whom she is asked to
vote for, so as to ascertain whether
those men. if elected, will be sure to
make the town in which they reside
a safe place for them to raise their
families, whether they will give their
moral and physical force to our pub
lie schools, to the adequate lighting of
our streets, to a pure water supply,
to am adequate fire protection scheme
as well as a fire fighting force, well
paved and clearly kept streets, an
efficient and moral police force to the
end that the moth should be eradi-
Gated from our town.
Most of us feel that a revised sys-
tenn of assessing properties would
greatly augment the finances raised
by direct taxation.
We also feel that with a business
man in the Mayors chair and practical
men in the Council Chamber and a
inancier as assessor u needs Tor
the next few years will be adequately
taken care Of.
The elder Statesmen of Our Borough
town who gave their services so
freely and who laid the foundations
of our institutions have placed before
the people on the Democratic ticket
Robert w. Kidd for Mayor, David P.
Featherer for Collector, Clyde w.
Struble for Assessors, Albert W.
Sailor, Jerry H. Long and John X.
| Sickler for Councilman and Daniel
V. Summerill for Justice of the Peace.
We feel that Mr.. Kidd as a home
product of the Borough and who has
spent five years in the National Bank
and has owned his present business
for the past five years, will make a
worthy successor to such Mayors as
Mr.. F. A. Gentieu, r. F. Willis, j.
Sweeten and S. Cunningham.
Nh. d. P. Featherer needs no in
PRODUCTION. He is 100 per cent pa
triotic, honest and fearless.
CLYDE Struble, who is teller in the
Peoples Bank, is s%plendidly equipped
in intelligence and is a young and
progressive citizen, having previously
taught in the High School and the
Y. NJ. C. A.
Mr. Jerry Long of the firm of Long
& Holton, with Mr.. Sailor and Mr..
SickIer will make an eminent trio to
put into the Council Chamber to up
hold tne nanUS Ol MI. Nlud' '
SummeriIl and Walter Edgar will meet
out Justice. Mr.. Summerill is an able
lawyer, thoroughly grounded in the
fundamental principles of the law, and
the Borough should be proud to have
such a man in the office. Small court
cases will get proper attention from
such an able source.
We do not condemn any man on the
other side, but ask you to consider
well before marking your ballot on
November 9Th. I do not ask you to
let party affiliation warp your best
Judgment, but simply compare the
two sides, man for man, and then
vote according to the dictates OF your
own conscience.
JOHN G. SULLIVAN, Citizen.
P. S. Our slogan is, Let every voter
vote.
