Speaking of X. X. KS
Some of the Ohio legislators
probably want to wear hood when
thev face their constituents.
How many of you can name the
members of the township and coun-
ty boards of education? Are they
the kind of officials you thought
they would make when you voted
for them?
The parents of our school will
look in on the school March 10.
Let every patron of the school be
present. Let's make it a red letter

In our work as an agent, we

Things occur that law cannot

and other kindred societies collect
money. Yet many worthy cases are
unattended Bristol is fortunate in
the fact she has a small percent
who need help. It's all proper and
right to pray for their souls. but
more effective to feed and clOthe
their bodies.

we would not take it on bet. It's
because of Durbin, Ross, Starlin,
Hanlin, Lynn. Chambers and the
rest of you that we have the best
county paper. l well remember a
Cor who as I recall was not highly
praised, during his life, but whose
| lines have ever staid with me, and
| the Democrat has never been the
same without "Occasional," yet
many of the readers have forgotten
| him. Poor Ed. with not even a wife
| to soothe when trouble besets him,
| yet must spread the soothing balm.
One mutt is surely enough. You
| folks write to your folks. Write
the things they want to hear, and
they will sing your praise. While
we can't sing we will holler Amen,
or take up the collection, with a
prayer on our lips that we may not
be Jealous.

SALEM CHURCH NOTES.

Anniversary Echoes" will be the
pastors sermon theme next Sunday
night.
"Young Peoples Night" last Friday
night was a most gratifying success
in spite of the rain. Large attendance,
fine program, loads of fun downstairs.
The new plan of raising the Old
Home Week Fund by direct contribu-
ions was highly successful. Last
years fine total of $500 was exceeded
by $500, the final report on Sunday
night being $1,000. Everybody happy.
The best results of the Triple Ami
versary were not financial. 1t was
truly a religious festival in which in
dividuals and organizations were
drawn together in closer fellowship for
more efficient service.
A record attendance marked the
Rally Day service in the Sunday
School with $50 present, and three
new teachers enlisted in the work.
1t looks as tho Goal 5" is already
in sight. Everybody playing the
game with fine team spirit, going the
limit to reach everyone of these
goals"

RESENT
REFORM METHOD
Mudslinging Tactics Adopted by
Candidates on Independent
Ticket Fails Its Object.
NO WET AND DRY ISSUE

Unwarranted mudslinging tactics
adopted by reform candidates for Of
fee, attacking the integrity and char
acter of Republican organization stan
dard bearers, are resented by the vot-
ers, who will reply by giving the latter
overwhelming majorities at the gen.
eral election, November 6.
This assurance was extended to all
of the Republican leaders during gath
erings held throughout the city and
county during the past week.
1t was pointed out that the attempt
to blacken the reputation of Joseph A.
Corio, Republican candidate for the
Assembly, with a long distinguished
record in the State Legislature, was
regarded Is being particularly repre-
hensible, and would result-as did
similar methods last year-in a sweep
ing victory for the organization.
ut is the Republican organization"
said William A. Blair, candidate for
county clerk, (which has forwarded
the interests of the people and built
up the county. The cause of the Re-
publican party now lies in the hands
of the voters, who never have and
never will fail it."
"a reform movement never accom-
plishes anything" declared Bertram
E. Whitman, campaign manager for
the Republican candidates.
"In this county they are hirelings of
the Anti-Saloon League, and with ul-
terror, sinister purpose, are running
counter to the wishes of the people,"
All of the speakers stress the fact
that there is no wet and dry issue in
this campaign.
I'VE have a Constitutional amend.
ment and cannot get away from it,
declared Anthony J. Siracusa, Jr., can
didate for the Assembly. "The State
law cannot be changed until action is
taken at Washington. The Republican
party in this State is pledged to sup
port every effort to modify the law al
the capital and to change the State
act accordingly. That is all that can
be done.
"The Democrats promised that the
country would be legally wet under
their regime. They lied. They were
elected and what happened? Nothing
The law is still on the books"
The urgent need for all women Re
publican organization voters to throw
the full strength of their ballots will
| the party on election day, was alst
urged. The women were characteriz
ed by speakers as being the concrete
pillars of any organization, whether
political or fraternal, without whose
assistance success is impossible"
Joseph A. Corio, candidate for re
election to the Assembly, invited crit
icism of his record and, announced hi
determination to continue the figh
against the Anti-Saloon League.
Other candidates who spoke at thu
various meetings and were accorded
enthusiastic reception were Howard
R. Cloud, for Sheriff; Harry H. Harri
son and DR.. T. H. Boysen, candidates
for Coroner.

The registration gives some idea OF

probably 1000 or more voters who did

O'DONNELL WON
ON RECOUNT
Original Majority of Six Votes
Reduced, However, to Four
Votes Over Kelley.
ATTORNEYS WERE SATISFIED.

James Louis O'Donnell, of Harmon
ton, vas officially declared elected a
member of the Republican County
Executive Committee at Mays Land
ing on Saturday, by the Atlantic Coun-
ty Board of Elections, following a re-
count of the vote cast at the recent
Primary Election, on an order issued
by Supreme Court Justice Charles c.
Black, on application of John P. KEEL
ley, through his attorney, G. L. Cole.
In the original count by the District
Board of Registry and Election, o.
Donnell was given a majority of six
votes yer Kelley, with sixteen ballots
rejected. On the recount O'Donnell's
majority was reduced to four. The
two additional votes for Kelley were
not found among the sixteen ballots
originally rejected, but among seven
to which the lawyers objected when
the recount was in progress.
The recount was conducted by
members of the County Board of Elec
lions as follows: William Hauenstein
Pennington, Judge; Mrs. Josephine
Godfrey, Atlantic City, Inspector; E
Leroy Adams, Pleasantyille, and Hen
ry P. Tapken, Mullica Township, Poll
Clerks. The recount started, in the
Court House, Mays Landing, shortly
before ten o'clock, and was ended
about eleven-thirty. Lawyers, Cole
for Kelley, and Phillips for O'Donnelli
we're both satisfied with the result OF
the recount, and the result will be
certified to Justice Black, by the Coun-
ty Board as official.
O'Donnell was originally credited
with 169 votes and Kelley with 164 by
the County Board, with seven ballots
in dispute. These disputed ballots
were then taken up, and the Board
ruled that O'Donnell should be given
two of the votes, making his total III.
Kelley was given three of the seven
votes, making his total 1877. Two OF
the disputed ballots were finally re
jected.
O'Donnell attended the recount and
was an Interested spectator as the
ballots were taken out and counted
Kelley did not appear in person, leav
ing his interests with his attorney
At the conclusion of the count O'Don
nell was congratulated by a number
of those who had assembled to wit
ness the result, and he expressed him
sell as gratiied with the result which
sustafns MS election as a memD6r o

years, until succeeded this fall by ia

PROCLAMATION.

The President of the United States
has approved the setting aside Of Sat
urday, October 9th, 1928, as Navy
Day. The Patriotic Societies, the
press, the moving picture industry and
radio b~roadcasting stations are CO
operating TO make Navy Day an effec-
tive means of giving the people an OPP
p~ortunity again this year to pay a
tribute to the services of the Navy TO
the nation, to consider its present con
dition and to send a word OF cheer to
the splendid personnel who make its
spirit and efficiency.
Navy Day falls on Theodore Roose-
velt's birthday. A joint tribute to this
great patriot and TO the institution
which always was his deepest concern
is natural and appropriate.
On Navy Day we would visualize
the navy as an instrument of peace,
an instrument which gives security by
the withdrawal of a negligible frac-
ton of our population from industry
and without the danger of planting the
seeds of militarism on u soil.
l would respectfully request that the
people of Pleasantville sponsor Navy
Day by the decoration of their homes
and places of business.
CHARLES f. JACKSON,
Mayor.
