Clifside Republicans
Putting Up Clean
Fight For Offices
To the Editor,
"The Palisadian,"

D6dT
At this time the great problem
that faces those, who are accounted
leaders of the various organizations,
is how best to present to the voters
of their respective districts the
qualifications of their candidates and
it has been the custom in Cliffside
Park Republican Club to make a
statement to it's citizens through the
public press with the hope that the
information may be a guide to those
who through lack of time or oppor-
tunity have no means of knowing the
qualities necessary for choice. The
most important office in our borough
to be filled this year is that of mayor.
The Republican Candidate is John
C. Cadien who has been on the coun-
Gil Board for the past four years hav-
ing been elected twice by the people
and who has established record on
the Board for honesty, integrity and
untiring energy having missed but
one meeting of the council board
since his election. Mr.. Cadien is a
master carpenter, Superintendent for
Savage & Company, Contractors Of
Ill Broadway, New York City. He
has lived in Cliffside Borough for
nearly twenty years and by education
and experience we'll fitted for the
office.
j. J. Cohn the first candidate for
the council board is resident of the
second district where he has been a
resident for the past thirteen years.
He is the president and General Man.
ager of a large manufacturing con-
Germ who specialize in automobile parts
He is also president of the Credit
Mems Assn connected with the auto
trade. Mr.. COIN has represented the
borough on the council board filling
an unexpired term and his work re-
ceived the commentator of many
citizens of the borough.
Mr.. Alfred Mutt candidate for the
council board is a resident of the
first district where he was born. His
father is R. H. Mutt former president
of the school board and long respect
ed in our borough. He is connected
with the Corn Products Company and
has been since his graduation from
college few years ago.
Duncan McClave our candidate for
Justice of the Peace has been a resi-
dent of Cliffside Park all his life and
as member of the famous McClave
family will be generally accepted by
our citizens.
The majority of the candidates are
young men, have high ideals and are
planning if elected to give the bor-
ough an honest, economical, and
businesslike administration.
The Republican party in our bor-
ough are facing the present fight as
in the county with united front and
do not hesitate to ask the vote of any
and all who are interested in seeing
every dollar expended receive dollars
worth of value.

The Mems Club
Of Trinity Church
Hold Meeting

The Mems Club, of Trinity Church,
met in the Guild Hall on Tuesday
evening last to make plans for the
coming season. In the matter of the
borough-wide agitation for the more
careful observance of laws, the club
placed itself on record as being OPP
posed to taking a stand at least until
further definite action was taken by
more specifically civic organizations.

Seymour Sears Sees
Nothing But G. 0. P.

Seymour N. Sears, the sunny and
optimistic defender of the G. o. P.
talked to Palisadian reporter this
week ON the political outlook and
prophesied that the Republican Party
would sweep the state next Tues
day.
Mr.. Sears said that the Assembly
IN this country was nothing more
than conflict between the saloon
interests and the Local Optionists;
that the three Democratic candi-
gen County Liquor Dealers Associa-
dates had the backing of the Ber-
ton, while the three Republican
candidates wers strong Local Option
men. He believed that the Repub-
lican candidates would have the sup
port of all good clean thinking men.
The Freebooter fight is sure vic
tory for the Republicans, declared
Mr.. Sears; five of the seven Demo-
Gratis have been repudiated by Dan
Fellows Platt, one of the foremost
| figures in the Democratic circles, and
| it is certain that many democrats
will be influenced by the stand TAX
en- by Platt and will cast their bal
lots for the seven Republican candi-
dates.
Mercer is a sure winner for the
office of County Clerk, says Sears.
He bases this statement on the
grounds that Charles F. Thompson
will poll many Democratic votes as
a Progressive candidate, and the con-
sequent split in the Democratic vote
will result in victory for their OPP
ponents.
In the local contests, Mr.. Sears,
picked John c. Cadien as the winner.
He spoke very highly of Joseph F.
| Whelan, the Democratic candidate
for Mayor, but his belief was that
Cadien is the better equipped of the
two, having served on the Council
board for several years, during
which time he familiarized himself
with local needs and conditions.
Mr.. Sears said the entire ticket in
Cliffside spoke well for the borough,
as every candidate was high type
citizen and if elected, was sure to do
his party credit, as we'll as the COM
munity.
