Football Game
New Hope Plays Wissahickon Next
Sunday

New Hope-The local eleven clash
ed with the Roebling team here
last Sunday afternoon in score
less game Or perhaps it would be
better to say they "splashed" with
them. The field was wet and slip
perry, and this was responsible for
the fact that no scores were made.
New Hope conceded to have had
the best of it making several first
downs TO every one made by the
Roebling eleven, but due to the
ground conditions they did not sue
coed in making touchdown.
Next Sunday the Wissahickon team
will come here from Philadelphia for
a ioust with the local boys, and if
the weather is good it promises to
be a good game. Bilby, who played
with New Hope last year, rejoined
the local eleven last Sunday and
made a very credible showing.
The Kickoff will be at 2:30 on the
York Road fed just outside the
borough limits. The lineup will be

reported in New Hope. One is the
little child of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Austin, of Mechanic street, and the
other is the child of Mr.. and Mrs.

trict Attorney Elect Arthur M. East

Free Bridge Commission of Penn
sylVania and New Jersey. The exc
cution OF the deeds for the real es-
tate at the historic site of this old
toll bridge marked the first time in
Ia years that the property has
changed hands by formal transfer.

its organization in 1911 as the same
chartered concern, its stock being
handed down from generation to
generation, and new officials sue
ceeding the old from time to time
as they anrwered the ''last roll call"
The burning of the old wooden
bridge in July 1923 when it was
struck by lightning was an act of
providence that marked an epoch in
the history of the Delaware River.
Those present at the formal trans
fer of the property last Friday were
Assistant Attorney General Theodore
Backes, of New Jersey; Commission
ers S. f Kaufman, president of the
Gcrecy Commission, and Lonis

Lambertville-Se changes are
taking place at the plant of the
Lambertville Rubber Co. since T.
S. Mcguire, of New York City, was
made president of the corporation,
the Goodyear Rubber Co., which
controls the local plant. The most
important change is in the position
of general superintendent, which
has been held by f. w. BONNER,
who came here during the Murray
regime.
The new superintendent is lied
Nicar, formerly with the Firestone
Rubber Company in Ohio. Mr.. Nicar
not only is backed by years of val
liable experience in the rubber in
dustry, but he has that genial per-
sonality which goes n long ways in
creating confidence in the human ele-
ment of production. When asked for
his initials, Mr.. Nicar replied with
laugh, Just plain Ted, that's all
And this seems to be characteristic
Of the new superintendent-he is

express it, and he isn't stuck up
and impressed with his importance.
He seems to be a "real guy"
Another change is in the position
of production manager. X. b. White
has occupied that position since the
Murray administration, and he leaves
next week. Joseph Sutterly, depart
ment foreman, has been promoted
to the position of production mana
ger. and John Cruise has been made
foreman in his place. Both Sutterly
and Cruise are local men.

POLITICAL JOLT
IN HUNTERDON
Not The Democratic Stronghold Ii
Used To Be

Lambertville - Republicans may
have been a little below par in Hud-
son, Middlesex and Passaic counties,
but in Hunterdon, which has always
been referred to as New Jerseys
Democratic stronghold, the Republi-
cans did themselves proud. Not only
did they elect Republicans for the
offices of Assembly and County
Clerk, but they also gave plural
ity to Whitney for Governor.
And in Delaware Township, which
is the most hide-bound Democratic
township in the county, c. Lloyd
Fell, Republican, received a majority
of 1903 for County Clerk; Horace G..
Prall, Republican, received 81 major
ity for the Jersey Assembly, and
Percy w. Bush, Republican, was Civ
en- majority of 100 for Township
Committeeman.
On the other hand, Moore only
squeezed out a plurality of 36, and
Dilts, Democratic candidate for Free
holder, only received 70. To the un-
initiated this may not mean any
thing, but it will be better appre-
ciated when it is known that in "the
good old days" Democratic candi-
dates always received majorities
of over 200 in Delaware Township.
Percy w. Bush, in being elected
as Republican Township Committee
man, defeated jeremiah Bovine,
Democratic, who has served one
term. This gives the Republicans
control, for Charles Updyke, Repub-
lican, is already on the Board. This
is the first time in the history Of
the Township that the Republicans
have been in control.
The general consensus of opinion
is that the citizens of Delaware
Township are sick of the bad roads
they have had to endure. and they
want to give the Republicans a
chance to improve them. Mr.. Bush is
credited with knowing sometime
about roads, and the people are look
ing forward to improvements.
The upheaval was also fc't in
Clinton Township, former Demo-
cratic stronghold. Voters there piled
un more than 2 to l for Whitney.
The town of Clinton itself rave
Whitney 265 to Moore's 148. Also
in Tewksbury Township. where Re-
publicans used to be considered only
as a name, Whitney polled almost
twice the votes given Moore, and
they gave every Republican candi-
date a comfortable majority.
Felrs total majority in the county
for County Clerk was 1892; Prall,
for Assembly, 1908, and Whitney's
majority in the county was 1.025.
Judson Kerr, the Republican candi-
date for Freebooter, ran only 997
below Dilts, the successful Demo-
cratic candida f1r reelection. This
was surprising. because Dilts has
been we'll fort fed. being widely
known and popular in Democratic
circles.
Hunterdon County Republicans
have much to encourage them. and
the balance of power is certain to
bring better government in county
affairs.

However, it takes three or four

came ON the original "Letter Patent"

ed by Governor Joseph Bloomfield.
Mr.. Backes announced his inten-

there is not another one in exis-
tence, and shortly after this Let

Already there are plans afoot
in Pennsylvania TO have the State
Highway Department take over the
road from Lahask1 10 the new struc-
ture at Centre Bridge. If this is
done the Jersey Highway Depart
ment will have to connect from the
Stockton side with the new con
crete highway being built thru
Pennington, and which will provide
more direct route from Philadcl-

Incidentally, this road from La
haska was the original Yorl; Road.
During the Revolutionary War
WashinRton's army divided at Lahas-
ka on their way to the Battle Of

ANOTHER CLIPPING FROM
THE LAMBERTVILLE w. c. T. L

English industrialists and English
journals are not discussing the drink
problem from any moral or altru-
istic standpoint.
1t is purely business PROPOSE
ton.
That is the one phase which,
primarily, appeals to the British emf
ployer of labor
This is expressed in the London
Observer, which says:
'The liquor question has its strict
ly practical side. and even a cursory
examination of its economic signifi-
canoe is sufficient to prove that it
does very really concern the nation
AS a whole, and not only minor
ity of excessive drinkers
And then this conclusion:
whatever our attitude toward
prohibition, as such, there is incon-
testible evidence which we cannot
ignore, that it is increasing the in
dividual efficiency of the American
people,
output is improving, popular saw
ings are mounting up, crime is dim
inishing.
IN short, America is reaping the
rewards which we sought to reap,
and did to some extent reap, by
our policy of restriction" during
the war;.
