Caustic Comments Coming From Fort
Lee Sentinel Gives Some Idea of
That Towns Affectionate Regard
for Palisade-Some Too Frank
EXPRESSIONS.
Expressions.


Lee Sentinel passes UP its compliments
to Palisade in several very caustic ar
ticles. In an editorial review Editor
Race had the following:
"The primary election for 1911 is now
written down in history, and The Sen
tinels predictions as to certain re-
suits came true. The Palisadians gave
staunch support to their ticket in OPP
position to the present administration,
but without avail, and Councilman
Brady was unsuccessful in his candi-
dacy for denomination.
Regarding the candidate for Mayor,
it was the case with majority of the
voters in the fourth election district
of anyone to defeat Councilman Ker-
wien, and while Mr. Wood and his
friends might batter themselves in
the belief that had he received the
nomination he would have been sup
ported in the fourth district on Tues
day, November 18th, such is not the
case, for that gentleman is of too we'll
known independence. Recent expert
ence has shown that Councilman Nc
Gloin, the Democratic nominee, was
more likely to follow the dictates of
Palisades Noble Ten" and the in
formation has already leaked out that
they intend giving their solid support
to McGloin, on election day, which is
no surprise, as that action was pre-
dicted, regardless of who received the
nomination on the Republican ticket
Coming with this announcement is
the statement from Palisade that Mr..
Wood and Councilman Brady will run
on an independent ticket Regarding
the latter there is probably no doubt
as it is in direct line with Brady meth
DDS, but we seriously question the
statement so far as Mr.. Wood is con-
cerned.
1T will be remembered that at the
Republican conference Councilman
Kerwien publicly made the statement
that if unsuccessful i'll securing the
nomination for Mayor he would give
his full support to Mr. Wood, and in
view of the fact that the latter gentle
man is known to be an equally good
loser, we believe that he has the in
terests of his party too much at heart
to do otherwise than give the success
full candidate his support during the
campaign and on election day"
"In an open air Rally for Brady
held on Saturday evening, Sept. 10,
Ill dIlSduS, WHICH save IOI the NODIe
Ten was made up of non-voters, Vim
cent B. Kelly attacked the candidacy
of William Fichtner for Councilman,
saying that he did not belong to any
of the associations in Palisade Mr.
Fichtner is a gentleman who has al
ways had the reputation of 'minding
his own business and Republicans
who have known him for many years
were glad of the opportunity to give
him their support, realizing no mis-
take was being made. If some of the
Palisadians appeared less in the lime
light and were as active in minding
their own business as they are in die
tating to others and looking for trou-
BILE, the relations between Palisade
and other sections of the Borough
would be less strained.

be seen-your statement don't make
it so, though you may be conceited
enough to think it does. You could
not nominate Brady for Councilman
any more than you could defeat Ker
wien for the mayoralty nomination,
and you'll come no nearer electing
Brady on an independent ticket than
you did to nominating him."
This makes very choice reading,
but there were other things said in
the Sentinel. Witness the following
local report of the primary:
Councilman Arthur ]. Brady and his
Noble Ten of Palisade, were told
by the Republican voters of the Bor-
ough of Fort Lee, in unmistakable
terms, at Tuesdays primary election,
that they can we'll dispense with his
services as a Borough Councilman and
their votes registered plain mark of
their disapproval of Noble Ten tao
tics. Even in his own district he ran
behind his ticket, and had it not been
for the vote he received in this-the
fourth-district, he would have hard
ly realized he was in the race.
''In all four districts the day ended
a quiet one. 1t was foregone con-
clusion that Brady hadn't chance,
but nevertheless the voters in the
first, second and third districts made
assurance doubly sure
THE most interesting contest was
between Councilman Arthur E. Ker-
wien and former Councilman VIM E.
Wood for the mayoralty nomination,
and the friends of each marshaled
their forces. On Saturday Palisades
Noble Ten issued circular con-
tanning a ticket of their choice, in
which they solicited votes for Mr.
Wood, which was by no means help
to him.
Robert H. Morrow, of Coytesville,
for assessor, was another Noble Ten
candidate, and his opponent, Alfred
Junghans was given a majority for
the nomination of 1913. This is the
second time Morrow has set himself
up as a willing candidate of the afore-
said N. t. and perhaps if he sur
wives sufficient period he will
awaken to realization of the fact
that the Republicans of the Borough
of Fort Lee have him firmly estab-
lished in the also ran class.
The names of Messrs. James M.
Sheehan and George Lahm for Coun-
c1lmen were written on several Demo
cratic tickets, and these gentlemen
will be candidates for that office at
the general election.
ga sufficient number of Democratic
tickets carried the names, written, of
Bailey Willard, of Palisade, and
Michael Sullivan, for justices of the
peace, to insure their being printed on
the general election ticket. Mr.. Sulli-
van, however, was elected to the same
office last fall but did not qualify.
Last, but by no means least, the
Democrats expressed their disap-
proval of Thomas F. Mallon who was
again seeking the office of Assessor,
he for three years having been
thorn in the side of the Borough
of Fort Lee which could not be re-
moved. In the four districts he re-
ceived only Is votes, eleven of which
were cast in Coytesville and four in
Palisade, but it is not surprising that
he should have received Palisade

looked around with strangely intent
and curious air.
At the far side was a grating through
which came a feeble light.
What is that?" asked the millionaire
sharply. .,
That is merely a ventilation grating.
Good ventilation is absolutely essential"

suggested, and then, putting a finger
quickly on Babylon's shoulder. There's
some one in the cellar. Can't you hear
breathing down here, behind that bin?"
The two men stood tense and silent
for while, listening, under the ray of
the single electric light in the ceiling.
Half the cellar was involved in gloom.
At length Racksole walked firmly
down the central passageway between
the bins and turned to the corner at the
right.
Come out, you villain" he said in
low, well-nigh vicious tone, and dragged
up a covering figure.
He had expected to find a man, but
1t was his own daughter, Nella Rack

hands.

She rubbed her shoulder with comic
expression of pain, and then stood up
before the two men. The skirt of her
dark gray dress was torn and dirty, and
the usually trim Nella looked as though
she had been shot down a canvas fire

Mechanically she smoothed her frock
and gave a Strengthening touch to her
