thing free and untrammelled. Per-
sonalities followed one another in
close proximity, and apologies went
the same way. At previous meetings,
the report went, there had been no
decided opposition on the floor of the
club to the efforts of the anti-saloon
faction, but on this occasion, when
Rev. Mr.. Church got his resolution
delivered, looking to the county prose-
vutor's help in the matter of law en-
forcement, the uproar began, and it
was multitutinous and long drawn
out Mr.. Arlitz, DR.. P. E. Brundage
Mr.. Carney, Mr.. Lehsten, Mr.. Ia
briskie, and DIR Goemann each took
the floor in order against Messrs
Church, Donaldson, Velsey, Hearn,
and others.
The opposition did not attack the
desire to enforce the law but claimed
that the Citizens Club had establish
ed its position by calling the atten-
ton of the governing body of the
town to Sunday violations of the
Bishops Law; that it is inexpedient
for small club having general aims
to concentrate it's efforts against a
problem that has ever baffled church
and state and riven communities
asunder; and that further participa-
ton in the matter would destroy the
usefulness of the club.
So nearly equal were the two fac
lions that a motion to table was won
by the anti-saloon league by mar
gin of one vote.
Several speakers reported rumors
of wholesale designations if the liqu-
or question was allowed to remain the
piece de resistance while Mr.. Church
stated that the clubs interest in the
matter had caused lumber of the
best citizens of the town to become
members. President Zabriskie re-
marked that made the odds even.
Incidentally the club voiced it's APP
prevail of the action of the Mayor
and Council in appointing commit
tee to handle the road-parallel-to-the
trolley matter and listened to infor.

What might be called the Cliffside
Citizens Clubs rippingest public
meeting took place on Monday last,
the regular October gathering. There
was more excitement than you could
shake a stick at, and the debate last
ed till late hour. The principle
subject discussed was the liquor ques-
ton, and it almost split the club wide
open, if indeed it has not hurt it's
future usefulness. The saloon ele-
ment of the Citizens Club-that is,
those who were pronouncedly against
it's discussion in the organization,
met with stiff and determined op-
position from another wing, who
held that the very usefulness of the
club was at stake on this issue; that
it was decidedly club matter, since
the club stood for law and order, and
the open violations of the Sunday law
by the saloons was a menace to the
peace of the community. The situa-
ton developed two camps in the club,
those 'for," and those against" the
use of the club as medium for the
settlement of or the discussion of the
saloon question. The statement had
gotten out that Rev. Mr.. Church and
the members of his congregation
were practically the only ones in
terested in the anti-saloon agitation,
and it had not been contradicted. 1t
had been suggested that the fight be
transferred to the church, and the
club be relieved of the burden, and
this, too, met opposition. A resolu-
ton was introduced that the county
prosecutor be informed of violations
of the Sunday law, and it caused a
great long debate. Also, resolution
was offered that no new matters
relative to the enforcement of the
liquor laws in the borough be
brought up for a period of one year.
AS whole, according to the report
sent to the "Palisadian," the meet
ing was the longest and most tire
some ever held by the club. Parlia-
mentary usage was cast to the four
winds, and the discussion went on I'M
bridled, the bars down, and every

This Will Interest
Coytesuille People

"White's expert accounting system,
juggling of figures, and delays has
raised the interest charges on the
Eastern Section system of sewers to
an amount over $4,000, too small an
item for him to economic on | pre-
sumo.
"The work was completed the first of
August, 1913. Mayor Kerwein ar
langed to have the proceedings ready
and to make the assessment in the
near future. The cost of this i'm
lrovement was $4,000 plus ac-
crued interest to that rate. Over two
years has elapsed since this work
was completed and it is not assessed
as yet. The interest charges amount
ing up all the time. Accrude inter
est charges up to the present time
alone amounts to over $4,000 and the
assessments are not completed as
yet, owing to the year and half's
delay due to the neglect of Mayor
White not having the matter prompt
ly put before the Commission, and
the taxpayers have to pay this
through no fault of theirs. The Com
mission was not appointed until
April 7, 1914, nearly a year after the
work was completed, and the matter
not put into their hands until jan
uary, 1915, year and half after
the contractor had finished his work.

Suffrage Gets
Very Severe
Blow In N. j.

The vote on the suffrage amend
ment to the State Constitution was
held last Tuesday, and resulted in
the loss of the amendment by about
10000 majority. Excitement was
great all over the country, because it
was thought that the result in New
Jersey would greatly effect the vote
in New York and other Eastern
States. The record shows that the
women carried only one county,
Orange, and that by a very small
majority. Everything else was anti
In Palisade the interest was about
the same as it had been all over New
Jersey. Certain leaders had been ex-
ceedingly busy for months getting
votes, and Palisade was carried for
the cause of suffrage by a vote of 65
to 81. Bailey Willard, Bernard Brady
and Arthur Willmann were election
managers. Bailey Willard cast the
first vote quite early in the morning,
shortly after six o'clock, and then the
other members of the board cast their
vote. Mrs. N. A. Paul was the of
fetal watcher at the polls in Palisade,
assisted by Mrs. Lockington, Mrs.
Ludlow, Mrs. Stewart, and Mrs.
Roberge. Mrs. Mcdonald was the Of
fetal watcher, Miss Powell, and
others helping in Cliffside.
Mrs. Paul said to "The Palisadian":
eve had delightful experience
one we shall not soon forget. We
were given the utmost courtesy bv
everyone. We shall continue the
fight for national suffrage beyond a
doubt, and l believe we shall finally
Win."

In Bad Free
holder Mess

The political sensation of the week
was sprung Thursday morning when
Democratic State Committeeman
Dan Fellows Platt, of Englewood,
came out with a statement announc-
ing that he would not support five
Of the seven Democratic Freebooter
candidates because he does not be-
lieve they could be depended on to
bring about the house cleaning in the
county government demanded by the
people.
The candidates against whom this
statement is leveled are Cooper,
Heine, Ridgeway, Johnson, and
Speight.
Platt's statement caused a big
furry in the Democratic ranks and
produced jubilation in the Republican
ranks. Many say that Platt's action
foreshadows general slaughter
among the Democrats and that the
Republican ticket will win easily on
November 2.
Platt is warm friend of Senator
Hennessy, who has been superseded
in the management Of the Demo-
cratic party by Congressman Hart
and Patrick Henry Maley.
Platt in his statement defies any,
body who may try to read him out
of the party.
Platt says the Democratic party
has been betrayed by the Freebooter
candidates whom he is opposing, and
that he is under no obligations to
support them. He says he values
good government higher than party
ties and that he would stultify him
self by supporting the five Free
holder candidates.
1t was only last week that Sur
rogate Sibbald came out with re-
fusal to serve on the Democratic
campaign committee because he did
not like the attitude of some of the
Freebooter candidates. !
Platt's move adds to the friction
in the Democratic ranks and may
make is necessary for State Chair
man Grosscup to come to Bergen
to try to straighten out the bad
tangle.

Odd Auto Accident
To Darby Hudson

While Mrs. Captain Samuel E.
Darby was entertaining Mrs. Charles
P. Berkey and the latter's two
guests, Mrs. Champion and Miss
King, of Germantown, Pa, on Thurs
day afternoon in an automobile ride
in her Hudson car, a strange acct
dent took place near the Linwood
Hotel in Coytesville. Arthur Hanson,
the family chauffeur, was driving
when there was blowout on one Of
the front tires. He got down to take
the extra tire off the rear of the
car, and had the injured tire all
ready to take off, when the new tire
exploded and almost knocked the
driver over. His eyes were filled
with dirt, and he thought for a mo-
ment he was badly hurt. A neigh
boring call was made for aid from
the kerwein garage, and Mrs. Darby
and her guests concluded their out
ing In a rented machine. The ac-
cldent was most unusual, as well as
lucky one, in that no further damage
was done than the bending of the
tire rim from the explosion.

IS NOT WORRIED OVER OUTCOME.

The campaign for Mayor of Fort
Lee has waxed warmer and warmer.
It is the most personal fight ever
waged, and apparently with less
justification. Mayor White dis
avows any reflection on candidate
Kerwein, and the Sentinel says it be-
lieves in Mr.. Kerwein's honesty but
doubts his capacity.
On this latter point Mr.. Kerwein
this week said:
eff we listen to what Mayor
White says, there was never any
administration like his. Yet meas
ured up to the standard of mems
works in general, l question that his
record is superior to any. 1t has,
perhaps, more frills, but what IS
mere show compared to performance !:

we have mayor having served Two

A man may raise a big boiler, yet
when YOU boil him down there is
nothing but onion skins. He took
over the leavings of my adminlstra-
ton, but | don't find him doing any
thing. -.
"Mayor Whites disavowal OF his
attack upon me may be all rlgnt, pue
it won't go. There never would nave
been any of this dirty business ana
mess-mixing personality entering INTO
This campaign but for the editorial
in The Sentinel three weeks ago.
Does Mayor White want the public
to believe that he was not back oil
that editorial, that he did not inspire
f. that he did not know all about
It? The editor Of The Sentinel MADE
his attack upon me at momehC
when that method of politics was the
last thing l was expecting. 1t was
daring and premeditated, as though
it had been ground out on order
"Will you undertake to answer the
charges of incapacity made by the
mayor?" he was asked.
"Why should 1? Any sensible
man knows it is easy to prove any
thing, almost, by juggling figures.
They charge me with neglectlng TO
nrovide for a sinking fund on GER

Cifside Council
Has Session

The Cliffside Park council meet
ing called for Wednesday evening of
last week failed for want of
quorum. A meeting was held on
Friday evening. October Is. At
this meeting petition was received
from Walker street property owners
requesting the appointment of Tobias
Chieffo as inspector on the sidewalk,
curb, and gutter improvement.
Councilmen Sammis and Hoeckel-
berg voted mo" on the proposition.
In regard to the Cliff street i'm
provement Edward Favre reported
that he had conferred with property
owners of that street, and they had
said they would be ready to go ahead
with the improvement if the rest of
the borough were to stand part of
the expense. Councilman Hoeckel-
berg reported to the same effect.
The physical conditions along this
street were extremely difficult to
improve. Councilman Cadien asked
if the council board had the power to
have this done by partial assess
ment on the borough at large. At
torney Agnew said the mayor and
council had the right to arbitrate in
the matter ON the decision of the
Assessment Commissioners. The
contract was awarded to the Bergen
Contracting Company.
On request of Mr.. Walz, of Oak
dene avenue, the engineer was in
structed to furnish the grade in front
of his place.
Mayor Neumann, referring to the
fact that his time was drawing short,
SAID that he hoped to appoint the
sinking fund commission at the
meeting of Monday evening, October
25. The mayor also desired that the
matter of the Winterburn Grove i'm
provement be decided upon. At
torney Agnew suggested that this
could best be done as was done in
the case of Palisade avenue, by plac-
ing the matter in the hands of the
attorney and engineers in conjuc-
ton with the title company people.

The Metcalf home in Anderson

rented out a portion of the summer,
but vacated about ten days ago.
On Saturday last when Mr.. and Mrs.
Artemus Ward, jr., came up from
Long Island in advance of her mother
and father, they found that some
one had entered the cellar by pry-
ing open the window. So far no
evidences have been found that any
thing was taken, for the reason that
whoever it was was unable to get
through the upper doors. A hand
saw was found by Mr.. Ward, and
two old coats were on the floor, and
had been apparently used for bed

Challenged On Vote
In Edgewater By
Suffrage Watche,

Quite an interesting as we'll as
unusual election incident has taken
place in Edgewater. Mrs. Lille B.
Yates has challenged the vote of the
First Election Precinct. While she
was on duty man came on the scene
to vote and was challenged by Mrs.
Yates because he was of unsound
mind, being intoxicated. She also
claimed and charged two of the cleo
ton managers with violating the
election laws of New Jersey in that
they undertook to vote this same
party by taking him into the booth
unasked by him. The matter has
created an unusual amount of in
terest, and as Mrs. Yates is sure to
press her case, there is liable to be
some trouble.
