Commenting on the present state
campaign and the unusual public dis
interestness, which is prominent
feature even at this late date, a
poplitical old timer the other day ex-
pressed the fear that the finish for
the dominant party might not be as
expected. He had not seen its like
in years and he was really concerned.
This particular old timer is not alone
in the view as expressed by him: there
are many others who are inclined to
be a trifle pessimistic, but their fears
are wholly unfolded. The fact is
there is only one side to the ppresent
poliaical controversy and the voters
simply refuse to excite themselves.
To speak plainly there may be any
number of the electorate who do not
lake kindly to the political ambitions
Of Jake Preus and, who have decided
opinions regarding a further lease Of
official life for Frank B. Kellogg, but
they are unable to find anything bet
ter in the offerings of the opposition.

him should he attempt to stop them.
Mrs. Moultrie summoned the police

Philadelphia policeman, as one of the
men who fourished the gun, but

member of the Philadelphia Fire De-
partment; Joseph Pinkey, cigar store
proprietor, of Philadelphia, and A. w.
Green, an employee in the Philadel-
phia tax bureau.

Halp was arrested for fraud in Phila-
delphia and bail was furnished by
Green. Halp jumped his bail and
came down to Wildwood where he
hired a room from Mou1trie The mon
came down to Wildwood to see if they
could induce him to return and face
the trial. Williams is charged with
forcible entry, carrying concealed
weapons and threat to kill. The other
three men are held as accomplices.

concealed weapons. The Moultries

TWO WILDWOOD MEN KILLED IN
AUTO CRASH

William ]. Wirth and William Nc
Claim, two prominent wildwood citi-
zens, were killed as a result of a
motor accident near Hammonton on
Tuesday evening. Wirth was the pro-
prietor Of Wirths' Hotel at Garfield
and Holly Beach avenues, and Nc
Claim was the owner of the Pacific
Hotel at Pacific and Andrew Venues.
The men left Wildwood early Tues
day afternoon in McClain's automo-
bile, which he had recently purchased.
Wfrth left McClain at Egg Harbor,
where he had a business call to make,
and McClain drove on to Atlantic
City where he also had a business en-
gagement. Due to the delicate con-
dition of his wife McClain received a
telegram to return home as soon as
he arrived at ATLANTIC City. He stop
ped for his friend at Egg Harbor and
started toward Wildwood at a furious
pace. .
They drove through Hammonton at
high speed where they attracted the
attention of a state policeman who
started in pursuit of the car. Shortly
after leaving the outskirts of the city
the car presumably hit a soft spot in
the road and McClain was unable to
control the machine from climbing an
embankment on the other side of the
road. The car overturned and fell
into the roadway. The bodies of both
men were badly lacerated and
bruised and their skulls were crushed.
Only the top and the windshield of the
car were damaged.
Both men had been fast friends and
were generally seen in each others
company. They were highly esteemed
in the community and their loss will
be felt by many friends. Wirth is sur
vived by a wife, two brothers, a sister,
his mother and a ha1r-Drother. Nc
Claim is survived by his wife and three
children and his parents, who live in
Texas. Wirth came to Wildwood
about twelve years ago and was m
ployed at the Rio Grande Inn. He
later purchased the hotel at Holly
Beach and Garfield avenues from
Christopher Scully, McClain has been
a Wildwood resident for almost ten
years. He started to work at the Pa
cific Hotel and was soon promoted to
manager. Later he purchased the es-
adjustment. Both men were just I'M
der 40 years of age. McClain came to
Wildwood from Oklahoma, where he is
said to have beer a cowboy.
