DR. ROBBINS HAS A NARROW ESCAPE
A spirited horse driven by Dr. George R. Robbins of Hamiliton Square,
ranaway yesterday through the breaking of the bit. The doctor jumped
from the carriage just before it was overturned, and escaped with little
injury. The wagon was dashed to pieces & the raines badly broken. After a
long run about the Square, the horse brought up at the stable door uninjured.

Excerpt from the Trenton Evening Times, November 19, 1906: Headline: County
Clerk Robbins 38 Years County Doctor

"...Dr. Robbins has one daughter, who is the wife of Harvey Hutchinson,
son of former Senator Elijah C. Hutchinson.  He is a member of Hightstown
Lodge No. 41, F, and A.M.  For years Dr. Robbins took care of the practice
of former Governor William A. Newell, who was a practicing physician of
Allentown, while that gentleman was busy in Congress.

Not only can Dr. Robbins practice medicine, but he can practice politics,
and he is recognized as one of the shrewdest politicians of the old school
in this country.  Since his return from college he has been as active
as a man can be for his party's welfare and the strangest part of ithas
been that in the heat of the many fights in which he has engaged he has
lost but few friends.  The Doctor was asked how he came to be a politican.
'Just naturally,' he replied. 'My father was a politician, one of my uncles
was a Congressman, while another was judge, so how could I get away from it?
I think a man just inherits his interest in politics.'

When he was elected County Clerk he led his ticket in the county.  He was
elected by a plurality of 1,400 while Governor Fort lost the county by 800, so
it can be seen that he ran 2,200 ahead of Governor Fort.  That is popularity."
