RETARDED BY FOG

Owing to late start and fog for q considerable part of her trip, up, the Spokane was fate ill arriving today, not getting here until late this after- loon. Every stateroom on the ship is occupied, so that she has no accomo- dations for the local trade between ports this trip. From now on until the end of the season, the tourist trade will deminish, however.

Freeholders Agree
10 Auow Counsel
On Board Lawsuit

The question of supplying counsel
to County Clerk Charles F. Thompson
to control the action of the Board of
freeholders to test the validity of the
Act creating small Board of Free
holders, which small Board will be
voted for at the election this fall was
disposed of by the large Board Mon
day afternoon by passing a reso-
luton authorizing the County Clerk
to employ any counsel that he NAV
so desire.
The resolution was offered by Free
holder A. V. Morrison, who prefaced
It's introduction with a few remarks
IN which he again declared that
County Clerk Thompson's letter re-
questing counsel had been presented
to Clerk Shuart fifteen minutes after
the meeting had adjourned two weeks
ago. He said the published letter of
Thompson's had created bad i'm
preston about the county and had
been misleading.
Ihls action of the Board makes the
suit against the Small Board more
like a game of fair play, and will
satisfy the public. Everybody hopes
Clerk Thompson will find winning
lawyer.

Citizens Club Says
Reporters May Now
Attend Meetings

The Citizens Club met at Carney
Hall on Monday evening. The po-
litical endorsements expected from
the club did not materalize, the men,
bers agreeing to postpone the en-
dorsement of any candidates until
the results of the primaries become
known. The members went on record
as opposed to the building of a fence
along the trolley line and they de-
cided to make strenuous fight if
the P. S. C. attempts to carry out it's
plans. The club heartily approved
the action of the council in deciding
to notify all property owners to put
their sidewalks in good condition,
otherwise the repairs would be made
by the borough and assessed against
the property.
The objections of few members
to having reporters at the meetings
of the club were declared absurd by
one of the officers, and it is likely
that the ban will be lifted. A COM
mittee was appointed to help bring
new members into the organization
so that broader field of work may
be taken up.

Arthur Kerwein Is Again Asked
To Run For Mayor In Fort Lee
At Lively Big Republican Meeting
Rally In Client Building Wednesday Night at Which
Great Enthusiasm Vas ShO1Un-- White Adminis-
trdtl0n is Raped With LOlUer Taxes The So
gan-- Candidates Named For All Main Offices
EST FIGHT PROMISED IN CAMPAIGN

White turned the Democratic party
down after election and appointed
Republicans to vacancies?
No. 4. Why does the mayor and
council with the exception of a few,
antagonize the moving picture in
dustry in the borough, as the NOV
ing picture companies are the life
of the borough? They have an as
sessed valuation of over 100000,
and employ about 300 residents of the
borough at good salaries. This item
will be denounced, but actions speak
louder than words.
An Enthusiastic Meeting
Enthusiasm ran high among the
members present, and it looks as if
the boys are out to win, as all the
young blood of the borough is we'll
represented. The club endorsed the
names of Samuel j. Corker for Free
holder on the Small Board. For
Arthur E. Kerwein who has con-
stantly refused to accept the nomina-
ton, but who the members think will
consent to sacrifice his personal in
terests for the welfare of the borough
when he understands the situation
The club appointed committee to
secure signatures to petition ask
ing him to be candidate which has
the signatures of over $50 taxpayers
in the borough, beseeching him to be
their standard bearer in their fight
for lower tax rate and justice in
general. Forcouncil, N. A. Paul and
Geo. Hill were named.
These gentlemen pleaded they did
not have the time, but the members
think that when they understand the
situation will sacrifice personal in
terests to serve the borough for the
good they can accomplish. For con-
stable, VIM. Roscoe was nominated.
Before adjouring the entire men,
bership pledged themselves to support
their candidates to the last of their
resources.
The sentiment expressed by great
many present was that they were
fighting for their bread and butter,
as a great many of the members are
employed by the moving picture in
dustry in the borough and feel that
the companies will not tolerate the
antagonistic attitude of the present
administration much longer, but will
retaliate so much so that these en-
ployes will suffer by losing their posi-
tions. The meeting adjourned till
Saturday, August 81, at Cella's Hall,
at p. m.

Joseph Adelberg For
Fairuiew Mayor
To the Citizens of Fairview:

To the Citizens of FairvieW:
The time is arriving when you will
be called upon again to declare your
choice for those to whom you desire
to entrust the management of the
borough's affairs. 1t is necessary to
give this question consideration and
ask yourselves if some changes are
not desirable and to look about for
men who have the interests of the
borough and public at heart. The
day of the professional politician in
municipal affairs is over and a
stronger tendency exists for the peo-
pie to exercise their rights and to
have their say in the selection of
their representatives
The borough of Fairview is grow
ing and new conditions are arising
which must be met, not with the old
time-Worn standards of other days,
no longer applicable, but with new
ideas and new vigor and lofty ideals
and the entire elimination of self-in-
terest and consideration. 1t is essen
tial to the borough that progressive
representatives are placed in charge
of its affairs, ever mindful of the
borough's interests and willing to
make personal sacrifices in return for
the honor bestowed on them.
The borough's affairs can be read
lily compared to the affairs and man
agement of a business enterprise.
You voters and taxpayers are the
stockholders; your dividends consist
in the saving in taxes and expenses
brought about by the judicious hand
ling of your funds and true economy,
not in the sense of excluding neces-
sary acquisitions and improvements,
but in seeing that the people receive
the value of every dollar appropriated.
We must conserve our resources and
keep within limits in our bond issues.
1t is a simply matter to issue bonds,
but the day comes when those bonds
with their ever heavy charges, must
be met; and even though some escape
the burden at times, it is sad
heritage to the next generation.
At the solicitation of many of my
friends, l have decided to enter the
mayOralty race, and While l realize
fully it means personal sacrifice to
me, l am sufficiently interested as a
citizen and taxpayer, to make the run
in a clean, non-partisan manner on
principle, with pride in seeing the
borough progress, appearing before
you untrammelled by any promises or
pledges to any individual or party,
determined to fulfill the obligations
of the office and discharge it's duties
to the dictates of my own conscience
and serve the best interests of the
people. My object is to reduce the
expenses and taxes and give to the
borough an efficient and business ad-
ministration.
On these principles solicit your
support, asking that you judge me
by what l do, should l by your good
graces obtain the office.
j. G.. Adelberg.

Mr.. Kerwein Loudly Cheered
The club membership numbered

prospects of going over the hundred
mark at the next regular meeting,
to be held at Cella's Hall, Saturday
evening, August 81, at p. M, for
the purpose of endorsing candidates
to be voted on at the coming election.
Among the prominent persons pres
ent were: Samuel j. Corker, Republi-
can committeeman from District No.
3, whose name was unanimously en-
dorsed for Chosen Freebooter on the
Small Board. Mr. Corker pleaded
that he did not have the time to give
to the Office if elected, but the meet
ing insisted he should make the run at
at sacrifice to his own personal in
terests; Arthur E. Kerwein, the prob
able nominee for mayor, who upon
his entrance to the club rooms was
cheered to the echo; Norman A.
Paul, who is the most likely candi-
date from Palisade for councilman, as
Mr. Paul positively has the confidence
and respect of the three northern dis
tricts of the borough; James Mercer,
candidate for County Clerk, who adj
dressed the assemblage, and many
others.
A general discussion was had
among the members.
Some Questions for Mayor White
The questions which were discussed
at length were as follows:
No. l. Why did Mayor White re-
tain Engineer Clark for one year
after making his campaign on the
engineer of the borough at that time
and pledge himself if elected to GUST
him at once?
No. 2. Why was it that Mayor
White went down to Perth Amboy to
secure an engineer when the county
of Bergen is overrun with good ones !?

OTHER BOROUGH CANDIDATES NAMED

Thirty republicans met at Carney
Hall on Friday night, Aug. Is to elect
officers to the Republican Club for
the coming year: also to declare their
choice for nominees for borough Of
fees at the coming primary election.
Mr.. Sears Reelected President
Seymour N. Sears presided. John
Cadien was secretary On motion of
Councilman Hoeckelberg, Mr.. Sears
was reelected president for the en-
suing year. Mr.. Sears in his speech
of acceptance, said that it was the
clubs determination to perfect its
organization so that it could go out
and win. The predominant idea was
to find the best possible men for
candidates.
MIR. Sears for Small Board
Mr.. Sears said that the all-import-
ant issue in politics this year in the
county was that of reducing the
county government from thirty-tWo
to seven members. The Republican
County Committee had just declared
for the change. The present boards
budget as announced was $4,000 in
excess of last year; making an in
crease in the county for the coming
wear of eleven points. The criticism,
it was understood, was not directed
against the members as individuals.
They were men of ability; their in
tegrity was not questioned. But the
people had declared over and over
again for a reduced board.
On motion of eX-Councilman Conn,
seconded by Colonel Laird, the meet
ing declared itself unanimously as IN
favor of the freeholder board of seven
members.
The other officers of the club for
the year were elected as follows: vice.
president, Hermann Hoeckelberg; Al
fred Mutt, jr., secretary; N. P. Nc
Auley, treasurer.
The meeting then, on motion of 2.
j. Carney, went into caucus. The
nominations to be made were for
mayor, two councilman, four justices
of the peace.
Mr.. Sears Makes Republican Plea
Before making the nominations,
Mr.. Sears begged to be allowed to

general political situation. ever
