Thus the candidates went before the
public. The interest, very warm at
the outset, and especially so in the
primary campaign, cooled down very
much toward the end of the real cleo
ton campaign The speeches were
more reasonable, and the effort was
made to consider the issues upon the
sober, serious side, rather than in the
blatant appeal to passion As the
game was about to end the play was
really of unusual human interest from
every angle. Vincent B. Kelly had

began to show the overwhelming
election of Kerwein for Mayor. Then
interest ceased.
In Fort Lee the interest was in
tense. At II P. NJ. there were yet
seventy-fve votes to count, and men
and boys were jubilating i'll high jinks
fashion. The first evidence that Pail
SADIE had of Fort Lees jolly feeling
was some time after eleven, when two
big touring cars came down Anderson
Avenue, loaded to the guards with
young men and boys, shouting and
footing horns. They drove along
Bluff Road to Palisade Avenue sew
eral times, then back around Abbott
Boulevard to Columbia Avenue and
EdgeWood Lane again. They gave
vent to spasms of noise at the Brady
and Tams corners, and let out lusty
notes at Kelly's. These young iolli-
flyers had not started far on the way
home before they met a big process
sion from Fort Lee afoot They car
ried lights, and had bass and snare
drum. The automobiles returned with
the walking brigade and all proceeded
to make Rome howl with a bedlam of
noise They sang John Brown" like
they wanted to split their throats, and
passed several spotlight houses with
slow tread and resonant voice They
made an interesting show, but in all
conscience it was too burned late for
that kind of show. There wasn't
any doubt of the meaning of this en-
terpr1se on the part of the Fort Lee
boys. 1t spoke for itself and was
but the repetition of that old feeling
of the joybug when the other fellow
IS showed under. But say, that was
some noise! They didn't know how
big Kerwein's vote was, but they
knew he had won, and they ratified as
though they meant to rub it in on
Palisade But boys will be boys.
And they are the voters Of tomorrow.

polling Of the final votes October Z
In the borough of Fort Lee the in
terest had been intense all the way
through the campaign. For the reg
ulars the Republicans had nominated
Arthur Kerwein for mayor, with
William E. Wood showed in as indie
pendent Republican, for the same Of
fee. The Democrats nominated John
McGloin for mayor
OF the records of these three candi-
dates for the chief office of the Dor
ough, Kerwein really topped the list
A native son, he went before the pub
lie on the simple statement that every
body knew him and his record and
they all knew what it was. He was a
party man and had always stood by
the nominee. One Of the speeches de
livered by Mr.. Kerwein the week be-
tore the election was very strong In
its simple appeal, and no doubt made
many votes in his favor. It was the
kind of speech that rose above criti-
clsm and appealed to friend and foe
alike III its earnestness.
William E. Wood was severely at

next for hiring substitute in the

though he was we'll known and liked.
His record in the last council was
clean and he had supported the park
ordinance all the way through the
vlcissitudes of that immortal docu-
ment He therefore made a strong
appeal to Palisadians, many of whom
espoused his cause openly, led by Cap
tain 5. E. Darby. Mr. McG1oin's atti-
tude was sharply criticised, however,
IN Fort Lee where it was supposed
that his friendship for Palisade would
lead him to favor legislation for this
end Of the borough to the possible
detriment Of other sections This was
evidenced in his letter sent out Nov.
4. in which he said: The only thing
said against me in this campaign is
that ! favor the Palisadians too much"
Mt McGloin admitted the soft i'm
parchment, but said he wasn't sorry
for it. He upheld his motives in a
logical manner, and let it be made
plain that vote for Wood meant help
for Kerwein
not deter the boiling Palisade Repub-
lican contingent from announcing in
favor of Wood. The executive com
mittee of the Republican Club issued
call for a mass meeting at the
Wheeler house the night before the
election where oratorical fireworks
were let off in a last determined stand
to head off Kerwein and McGloin in
favor of Wood

and left a pleasant thought after read
ing it.
The scenes around the polls in
Palisade were similar to those on
primary day There was considerable
interest in the fact that we had
place at which to vote, and this in
connection with the general interest
anyhow, forced a large vote. Many
here foresaw the result, but voted as
a formality Mr.. Brady easily led the
ticket, a graceful compliment to his
popularity at home 1t was unfor-
tunate that he could not be returned.
He was on hand most of the day act

Mr. Fichner, also, his opponent, was

He says since the election that he will

times

Parlors, July IA. rs

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Town Improvement society occurred
on Friday afternoon, July IA, In the
Library parlors. The summer meet
ings of the society, while somewhat
informal, are yet pleasant opportuni-
ties for comparing notes upon the
summer work and essential to its best
interests.
Much qualification was expressed
at the kindness of the selectmen IN
having the banks of the river cleared
of rubbish and the thoroughness with
which the work was done. and the
hope expressed that the property
owners would take care to keep them
in the best possible condition in the
future.
A short program on Nature study,
under the direction of Mrs. Angie b.
Steward, comprising charming seiec-
lions on Our Birds" by Mrs. Mabel
Judkins, also upon wild Flowers,
by Mrs. Steward, was much enjoyed,
while Miss Norton of Kingfield, who
was present as the guest of Miss
Harriet Cleveland, gave delightful
recitation. "Brier Rose" and kindly
responded to an encore.
The next meeting will be held on
the second Friday in August at 3 p.

Sailed Ghosts

By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY

Mrs George Armstrong, rellct Of
George Armstrong of the village Of
Brunswick, had passed her year Of
mourning, and there were gossips in
the village mean enough TO say that
she was In the market again. or
course they did her injustice. No
widow is ever in the market II It SO
happens that women contract q sec
ond marriage. It is a matter Of sur
prise TO them. They didn't plan to,
and how they came TO do It is mat
ter to puzzle them.
II was true that the widow Arm
strong was looked upon with favor
by several men. There was the plano
tuner that came down from Cleveland
every two or three months on his
rounds Of the villages. She had no
piano, but he called and discussed
grand opera with her. He had long
hair and wild eyes and dandruff on
his coat collar. and he had thrown
out hints that his artistic soul longed
for a mate.
Then there was the sewing machine
man. He had short hair, tame eyes
and no dandruff, but he had his good
points. He had committed pages and
pages of Shakespeare to memory, and
between the way he could spout them
and repair a sewing machine was
something to make a widow sit up
and think.
And then there were the village
butcher, the lightning rod man, the
druggist over at Liverpool and the
man who came twice a year to sell
the farmers fertilizers and labor saw
ing machinery.
For not being on the market, and
for a woman who did not in the least
encourage the fattery of men, the
widow Armstrong was well provided
for. The last, but not least, of her
admirers was the village carpenter.
His name was Phillips, and he was
a bachelor. He was a coy man and
a shy man. OF course he couldn't
