COMES TOO LATE
FOR POLITICIANS
Edward Hebig Wanted the Ma
chine for Road Work

=. Much has been written about the
steam rollers in use at the Demo-
cratic and Republican national conve
tons, and of the damage inflicted on
those who got In the way, but in con-
nection with the Third Ward Demo-
cratic mass-meeting in Harrison last
night a steam roller was actually in
evidence, but it arrived too late to
crush any political opponents. The
meeting was Under the auspices of the
Third Ward Democratic Club, and one
of the. prominent members Is Edward
Helbig, who is connected with a large
contracting firm, which has secured the
contract to improve Davis avenue in
Harrison.
Helbig had ordered a steam roller In
use in Jersey City to be brought to
Harrison and it, should have arrived
about 6 o'clock last night, two men
bringing 1t over, the Plank road. Hell
big was waiting for 1t in Harrison and
was also in attendance at the meeting,
scanning the horizon every few minutes
looking for the approach of the, roller.
Eight o'clock came and no roller, and
Helbig boarded a car to this city in
search of the big machine and was re-
warded when he found 1t n the two
men way down in Ferry street, New
ark.
He.toolk charge of it, walking along
side, and on the arrival In Harrison
stood for a whole lot of "joshing" on
what he was going. to do with it. AS
he neared the scene of the meeting.
however, It was about to adjourn and
his Republican opponents having fled
when they saw the roller coming. Hell
big heaved a sigh OF, disappointment
and put the machine away for the
night. "a

KEARNY COPS ARE A
DAY AHEAD OF TlME
They Thought There Was a
Meeting Last Night.

The joke Is on several members of
the Kearny police force. The Kearny
Common Council meets the second and
fourth Wednesday nights of each
month, and somehow it got into the
minds of some of the bluecoats that a
meeting would be held last night, they
thinking it was the second Wednesday.
Incidentally, they were figuring on re-
ceiving their pay tomorrow, as they
generally do, two days after the
meeting.
They were astonished when, they ar
rived at the Town Hall last night, pre-
paratory to going on duty, and finding
the Council chamber empty. 80
