Exceptionally Able Candidates on
Republican County and City
Ticket This Year.
VOTE ON SALARY QUESTION

Next Tuesday is general election
day. In Atlantic County there is a
Sheriff, County Clerk, two Coroners
and two Assemblymen to be elected.
For Sheriff, the Republicans have nom-
mated an exceptionally able and con-
scientious official in the person of
Howard R. Cloud, the present Deputy
Sheriff. Mr.. Cloud has proven to be
one of the most able and efficient men
that has ever held this office. He will
undoubtedly receive the undivided
support of the Republicans, as well as
a large vote from the Independents.
For County Clerk, William A. Blair is
the Republican standard bearer. Mr..
Blair is well and favorably known in
this city, having served several terms
in the House of Assembly, and per-
sonally is a cry affable gentleman.
He will receive a large majority in
this city, where he has many admirers
and. staunch supporters. For Coro-
ners, Harry H. Harrison, of Atlantic
City, and DIR. Theophilus Boysen, of
Egg Harbor City, are the Republican
candidates. Both of these gentlemen
are well and fayorably known, and
will receive the votes of a great ma
jority in the county. For the Assem-
bly,, Joseph A. Corio, majority leader
of the last House, and Anthony J. Sir
acusa, a popular young lawyer of At
lantic City, are the nominees OF the
Republicans. Both. will make able
legislators, and will guard the inter
ests of their constituents.
Locally, there is a City Clerk, Tax
Collector, two Assessors, two Council
men, and a Justice of the Peace in the
Second Ward, to be voted for. On the
Republican side, Nehemiah Andrews,
who has SO efficiently held the position
of City Clerk for many years, is the
candidate. Mr.. Andrews will receive
a very heavy vote. Webster Price,
the present Tax Collector, is also a
candidate for reelection. Mr.. Price
will undoubtedly poll a heavy vote
and be reelected without opposition.
For Council, Edward T. Stephenson.
who has represented the First Ward
in that body for the past three years,
is the candidate. Mr.. Stephenson has
peer one of the most progressive and
aggressive Councilmen this city has
ever had. He should be returned by
a large majority. His~work in. Council
is deserving of another term. In the
Second Ward, Mortimer Ware, anotfi-
er young and progressive man, has
been selected as the party standard
bearer. Mr.. Ware is the type of man
we need in Council, and his election
is a foregone conclusion. The name
of Bellville Naylor has been placed on
the Republican ticket in the Second
Ward for Justice of the Peace in the
place of George w Biggs, deceased.
Mr.. Naylor is well and favorably
known. The candidates for Assessors
az old and tried officials, and Reuben
E. Adams and George NJ. Bates will
receive we~ll-deserved support.
The voters will also be called upon
to vote on the proposition of giving
the Councilmen a salary of $500 per
year. This proposition should be car
ried, regardless of who may be elect
ed. The position is worth all this and
then some. Vote Eyes" on the salary
proposition.
