''OLD VAMPS" HOLD
ANNUAL REUNION
Fire-Fighters Who IRAN With
the Machine" Elect
Officers.

The annual meeting of the Asso-
citation of Exempt Firemen, held at
headquarters last night, brought
forth one of the largest attendance
Of 'vamps" for many years. The
memorial services held by Branch 4,
Firemen's Mutual Benevolent Asso-
citation on Sunday last. which were
attended by scores of the veterans,
who as red shirts" ran with the
machine" seemed to have freshened
the ardor of the old volunteers, and
the spirit of enthusiasm was mani
fest :.
"It was Just what we longed to see,
explained q fire fighter of other days.
THAT great gathering of the people
on a Sunday afternoon to pay tribute
to the memory of the dead of the
fire department, struck responsive
chord. 1t proved appreciation, and
the remarks of Mayor Haussling and
John L. O'Toole showed that the
feeling of goodwill extends back to
the boys of our time. Let our praise
and all credit go to those who In
augurated this grand movement TO
keep the memory of firenen green,
although they have passed away.
The election of officers resulted as
follows President, David e. Benedict,
former chief of the Newark fire de-
partment; vice-president, Joseph A..
Thorn; secretary, William w. Dougal;
treasurer, Alexander J. Valentine;
trustees, L. C. Crane, Marcus w. Har-
ris, Patrick Lynch, John j. VaricK,
Charles A. Coughlin.
Board of representatives, William
w. Dougal and Joseph A. Thorn;
chaplain, william b. Callan.
Newarl's exempt firemen are known
throughout the State as the most ac-
tive In keeping alive the traditions
of the calling and are in constant
touch and sympathy with the mem
beers of the paid department OF the
city. There is feeling OF harmony
and n sense of cooperation between
the RED Shirts of the past and the
''Blue Shirts of the present more
pronounced even than the fraternal-
ism of years ago.

OFF ON VISIT SENDS
WORD OF MARRIAGE
Miss Helen Kemp Becomes the
Bride of William Biederman
at Baltimore.

| Dear Mother-Will and I will be
married tonight at Uncle Fred's
home-Helen," was the way Miss
Helen Kemp, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Eswell Kemp, of 349 Grove
street, notified her parents of the

| to an aunt in Baltimore. A like mes
sage was sent to Mrs. Helen Bieder-
mann, of 1876 South Sixth street. by
her son, William r. Biedermann,
who married Miss Kemp at the home
of Fred Lucas, Miss Kemp's uncle,
of 1880 West Barrie street. Balti-
more, Md, last night. The announce
ment of the marriage came as a
complete surprise to both families.
and as there were no objections
from either side congratulatory
blessings were sent to the newly
Weds.
TIC young couple left Newark last
Wednesday To go to Baltimore on a
visit to Mrs. A. d. Chambers, Miss
Kemps cousin, of 1923 North Fuller
ton avenue. Both Mr.. Bieder1rann
and mis- bride often expressed a wish
for a quiet wedding and they took
this means of carrying out their
preference. A license was procured
and the ceremony took place last
night. 1t Is expected that the couple
will return to this city either Fri
day or Saturday, No definite plnns
have been made as to where they
will live in this city.
Mr.. Biedermann lived with his
mother at 1856 South Sixth street. He
is connected with the Hatcher Iron
Works in Thirteenth avenue, this
city. When seen at her home today
Mrs. Biedermann said: MY son and
his wife left this city last Wednes-
day on a visit to his wife's aunt in
Baltimore. l don't think the couple
had any intention of getting mar
ried when they started out. but both
of them often said they wanted a
quiet wedding, SO they were married
last night. ] received the telegram
yesterday afternoon and Immediately
sent them my blessing. / know they
will be happy together"
The bride Is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Eswell Kemp, who are well
known in the Vailsburg section of
this city as florists. Mrs. Kemp,
speaking on the marriage, said: ST
think my son-in-law had some idea
of what was going to happen when
be and my daughter reached Balti-
more. Helen did not know anything
about 1t or / think she would have
told me. Mr.. Biedermann and my
daughter have been acquainted for
almost two years, and although both
families knew they were to be mar
RED we did not know that they
would go on visit and come back
married"

| Branegan, persisted In going into
caucus, the others did not want te
deny the fairness Of McDermott' +
claim, and 1t was finally decided &c
have q conference.
Bredenbeck then moved for nonu-
nations for speaker. The nominees
were Bredenbeck, Branegan, McDer-
mott and Griffin. 1t was decided that
a thirds vote Of the delegation
should be necessary for a choice
When the ballot was cast Breden-
beck had received two and Branegan
seven votes. Branegan lacked. there
fore, one vote to be the choice. A
second ballot resulted In Branegan
six and Bredenbeck three votes. Both
times McDermott did not vote.
Following the second ballot Breden-
beck and Branegan withdrew from
the speakership contest and Breden-
beck nominated Beekman.
Against this nomination McDermott
strongly protested, on the ground
that Beel1man was not progressive IN
his policies and that. above all, ne
had been guilty of breaking the plat
form pledge when he voted against
constitutional convention during the
last Legislature and that he waged a
bitter fight against 1t, notwithstand-
ing that he was elected on platform
containing the convention as one or
its chief planks.
McDermott's protest was so effec-
tive that Mulligan and Cannon stated
that they would not vote for Beck
man. Nevertheless, as the Wittpenn-
Tumulty slate had to be adhered to,
seven voted for Beekman, who
thereby. however, lacked one vote to
carry the nomination.
Hickman Declared the Choice.
A second ballot was decided on.
This made Mulligan and Cannon, who
had acknowledged that McDermott's
objections were well founded, weaken,
and on the second vote they cast their
ballots with the rest thus giving
Beekman nine votes. BeelSman was
tAan declared the choice for speaker.
\he speakership settled, Breden-
bek Immediately moved that Brane-
gan be settled on as floor leader.
Branegan received eight votes. him
self and McDermott not voting.
At this juncture Mr.. Bredenbeck
moved that the conference go into
caucus McDermott again protested,
but this time could not carry his
point handed. He, therefore, got
up and walked out, refusing to have
anything further to do with his col
leagues.
The caucus simply confirmed the
slate as voted on in conference. Fisk,
1t was said, would abide by the de-
cision of the nine caucus members
McDermott stated that he, together
with Griffin, would make their fight
at the caucus to be held at Trenton
today.

She would not attempt to

The making of chew

bread-making. Gum

If the gum Is clean. It Is

wide and long, and the skirt is both
narrow and short. LambertvilIe

PLANNING A NEWSPAPER

Planning newspaper would be easy enough IN 1leoly
at least if we could just stand aside and let our fieaS 40
# for u.s. On the seventh day of February last we re-
dced the size of the pages from eight columns TO 1ouf
and increased the number of pages from Tour WE'VE
This week we add one column to each page ana tfee
inches to each column thus actually giving you ohe,a
as much again matter as for the past eight months lS
size will be continued permanently as 1t works oest on
our press and looks good to the eye.
The new size, even with the change in the quality OF
paper costs us about twenysx cents per year aootoa
for each subscriber but confident that the extra
patronage will Justify the move. Our new cash III ao-
vance plan is taking WE'LL and after October oth tne date
when all unpaid subscribers will be dropped from the st
no person will owe us any money for subscription as no
will be sent except those who order and pay Tor
them-exceptng such as sent as bona-fde samples
From this time on we will the general happen
ings of the surrounding country, both by local and staff
correspondence and will continue other original fea-
lures During the past summer we have printed more
original editorial matter and local pictures than all
other rural weekes in the State of New Jersey combined
These are few of the reasons why advertisers are paying
us higher rate than any other country newspaper
cause it's the kind of paper that people read.

keep talking" but newspaper space
was freely used.
The Lambertville Record takes
special pride in the fact that the
great bulk of the newspaper ad-
vertising of the local Chautauqua
was done in it's columns, and that
many of the people who attended
during the week learned of it
through no other source. Handl-
capped as we were throughout the
waiting period by the fear that
William Jennings Bryan might not
be able to come, still the publicity
attached brought out more people
at Coryell's Ferry than any other
Chautaueua. The extra edition OF
the Record, 5000 copies, circulated
the morning of the day that Mr..
Bryan came, brought many addition
al people to the lecture. Several
people from distance assured US
that they did not decide to come
until the day they found the extra
Record at their doors.

They Needed the 18th.

One good, active Bull Mooser
urged the editor of the Record to
90 to the primaries on Tuesday and
vote the Progressive ticket, because
all the good people" in town were
doing it. We are almost sorry we
didn't, because the high-water can
didate polled twelve votes, and we
would have made the thirteenth
vote. They needed just that to
complete the count.

While we claim much for the
progress of Hunterdon County folks,
1t is not amiss to say that the people
OF New Hope, just across the Della

need to take any back seat, either.

Court Wrong The Court of Chan

Case if correctly report

the wrong in the case of the New

line extending from Whitehouse,
this county, to Morristown. De-
clared absolutely unsafe by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, the road
cannot be repaired for lack of cash.
Neither the stockholders nor bond
holders will put up the cash, and the
Court of Chancery regards the
rights of these same bondholders as
too sacred to permit the issuing OF
receivers certificates to raise cash
for the repairs. Several thousand
people will be seriously inconven-
fenced by the closing of the road, on
October 18th, but what does the
Court care for the public? An cleo
tive judiciary, with recall attached,
would never dare hand down such a
decision.

this city and in the county and
state. Locally, the nomination of
Samuel A. Finger on the Democratic
ticket and Samuel E. Morse on the
Republican means that Mr.. Finger
will be the next mayor of the City
of Lambertville.
With Harry K. Kramer on the
Democratic ticket and William E,
Meginnes on the Republican, for
the office of freeholder, the result is
not so certain. Both are strong
men, fully competent to fill the
office, and both have many friends
in the city and the county. 1t is
almost to be regretted that they
are pitted against each other, be-
cause it leaves their mutual friends
in a stranded position. However,
it is probable that Mr.. Kramer will
be elected, because the normal
Democratic vote outside the city of
LambertviIle will likely pull him
through.
For Assemblyman the regular
Democratic vote will carry Oliver
C. Holcombe, the present member
from this county, and the Demo
cratic candidate, through at election.
Of the other offices, they are
ward matters, and much will de-
pend upon purely local issues,
bound by certain street confines.
In the State, the race will be nip
and tuck between Edward G. Stokes,
the Republican candidate, and James
F. Fielder, the Democratic. 1t is
more than likely that Stokes will
win out at the general election, by
a majority running from 5000 to
