FATHER GASPED

Supper was in progress and the
father was telling about row which
took place in front of his store that
morning.
1.-THE first thing 1 saw was one
man deal the other a sounding blow
and then a crowd gathered. The
man who was struck ran and
grabbed a large shovel he had been
using in the street and rushed back
his eyes blazing fiercely. 1 thought
he would surely knock the other
mans brains out, and stepped right
in between them"
The young son of the family had
become so hugely interested that he
had stopped eating his pudding. So
proud was he of his fathers valor,
his eyes fairly shone, and he cried:
HE couldn't knock any brains out
of you, could he, father?"
Father looked at him long and
earnestly, but the lads countenance
was frank and open.

Joy-Riders Smash
On Anderson Avenue

In the neighborhood of ten o'clock
on Thursday evening Arthur Nc
Carney, chauffeur, of 221 Clifton
street, Hoboken, and William Baeder,
of Park avenue, Hoboken, were both
severely injured in an automobile
collision on Anderson avenue, mid
way between Palisade and Fort Lee.
Both were rushed to the North Hud-
son Hospital by passing motorists,
who, seeing the accident, offered their
assistance. McGarvey received a
badly lacerated face, two broken
ribs, and Commissions on both his legs.
Baeder had lacerated face and con-
tuslons of the abdomen, but was able
to return to his home after being
treated at the hospital.
1t appears that McGarvey, a chauf-
fer at the Imperial Garage, Hobo
ken, was driving party of friends,
consisting of two boys and two girls,
IN the car owned by P ]. Barrie. a.
Hoboken, when his engine went bad
and he got out to fix the trouble. His
car was drawn up to the right hand
side OF the road on the first sharp
turn going north to Fort Lee. IT
took him some time to locate the
difficulty and in the meantime his
friends took walk down the road.
linen Baeder came along in his
mgh-powered red roadster at a high
rate OF speed. He came around the
curve so fast that he did not see the
stationary car until he was full upon
II and an impact seemed inevitable.
However, he managed to avoid a
headon collision and struck Nc
Garvey's car glancing blow, shat
terlng the mud-guards and knock
ing the chauffeur, who was standing
over his engine, many feet. Baeder's
car after the shock skidded for over
flfty feet on the dry road and then
shot off into the bushes to the RIGHT
missing a bad smashup with tele-
phone pole by not more than an inch.
Inc groans of both injured men
could be heard for some distance on
the road and McGarvey's friends
were back in short order and found
him in a delirium. Although per
fectly conscious, he fought his friends
Oft and it was some time before thew
could get him Gained down so that
they could render him assistance.
No one else was injured, although
Baeder had a passenger, whose name
could not be learned. Neither car
sustained serious damage and were
able to be run off later in the night.

Big Kerwein Rally
Held In Coytesuiue
On Thursday Night

Candidate Arthur E. Kerwein met
one of the finest crowds of the week
at Boyles Casino, Coytesville, Thurs
day evening. The hall was well
filled and the same enthusiasm that
has characterized all of the Kerwein
meetings of the campaign, was shown.
The committee had engaged politi-
cal movie called "The Man of The
Hour" and it was the cause of much
interest on account of the presence
of Mr.. Kerwein. There were many
fine talks, and reports as expressed
in the speeches were of the most en-
couraging character. Indeed, there
were many who did not hesitate to
say they believed Mr.. Kerwein had
the fight won. All things pointed
that way, they said.
After the speaking there was dane
ing INDUCED in till late hour.

SAMUEL ]. CORKER ACTED AS CHAIRMAN

on the most sincerely economical
basis commensurate with good bust
ness. He was pledged to do away
with the present engineer, and the
seven Republican Small Board mem
bers were of the same mind and
would each keep the pledge. Mr..
Howell's speech was one of the best
of the evening. He said the dinner
was 'the most magnificent we county
candidates have ever SEEM"
James w. Mercer, candidate for
County Clerk, spoke briefly, saying,
among other things: "There is not a
town in the county that could turn
out a crowd like this. 1t is ahead
of anything I have so far SEEM" Mr..
Mercer pledged himself to give the
people an efficient system of running
the county clerks office, and said no
man should ever go into his office
without getting what he wants. 1t
would be all the business he would
do, devoting his entire time to make
the office an efficient agent of service
for the whole people.
Mr.. Hopper, Freebooter candidate,
also spoke, briefly. He said it was
the most representative gathering he
had so far seen in the campaign. He
was in favor of a thorough house
cleaning, and next for an economical
administration. He cited that he
thought there should be no trouble
whatever in bringing the cost of the
finest macadam roads down to little
above $21 900 per mile, thus saving
over $4,000 per mile over the pres
ent average rate for road construc-
ton of this character. The present
engineer would have to go, he said.
Mr.. E. Yancey Cohen, of Palisade,
sent a letter of regret at not being
able to be present. Mr.. Corker read
ing the letter as follows:
Palisade, October 20, 1915.
Mr.. Alfred Junghaus,, Sec,
Republican Club of Fort Lee.
Dear Sir: l regret that long
standing engagement for the evening
of the twenty-third will prevent my
acceptance of your kind invitation to
be with you at the beefsteak dinner.
Nothing would have delighted me
more than to have awaited myself of
this opportunity to express the graft
fication all "good fellows" feel over

Mrs. McClave
Much Hurt In
Auto Upset

The McClave family were in bad
automobile accident about six o'clock
Wednesday evening up in Massa-
chusetts. Major McClave, Mrs. Nc
Clave, Miss Marguerite, Miss Clarice
and Miss Mildred, had been on a tour
to see John McClave, now attending
Bowdoin College, at Brunswick,
Maine, and were returning to their
farm in west Connecticut. When
near a village, at the hour named,
they saw Cadillac car come out of
home near the road, and go along
ahead of them about two hundred
feet. Miss Mildred was sending her
REQ along at about thirty miles an
hour, and desiring to get along, con-
cluded to pass the car ahead. She
blew the Klaxon twice, and was about
to pass, when the driver of the
Cadillac deliberately cut across their
track, without holding out a hand,
and the McClave car hit the other
amidships. When Miss McClave saw
the accident was imminent, she stood
up on the brake, but could not avoid
the collision, and went full tilt, but
with greatly reduced speed, into the
Cadillac. Mrs. McClave who was
sitting on the front seat, was thrown
clear of the car, and fell heavily to
the ground, where she remained for
fifteen minutes before they could get
her up into the farm house. While
considerably shocked and bruised,
she was otherwise unhurt. The party
was able to procure another car
nearby, and lost only two hours from
the accident. The owner of the
Cadillac acknowledged his error, and
agreed to pay all damages. The Nc
Clave or was dmged considerably
probably to the extent of $100, the
other car to the extent of about $3.50.
Major McClave left the family '.p at
the farm and came down to Grant
wood Thursday night. He thinks 1t
was a lucky accident.

The Democrats had a big rally at

was well filled. John Whitaker,

If any one doubted the extreme
popularity of Arthur E. Kerwein in
his home town of Fort Lee it would
have been dispelled on look in at
the beefsteak dinner last Saturday
night at Cella's Hotel given by the
Republican Club. The pick of Fort
Lees best citizens were there, and
the Republican county candidates
said it was the best, largest and most
enthusiastic assembly that they had
attended during the entire six weeks
of the campaign. There was no half
way doings about what the crowd
meant by being there. 1t was a
loyal tribute to Arthur E. Kerwein,
largely enhanced by the bitter at
tacks that have been made on his
record and his character in this cam
paign. The crowd was good natured
all the way, and never a moment was
neglected to cheer and honor the
man of the hour. Owing to some en-
gagements he could not defer, Mr..
Kerwein was late getting into the
dining hall, but when he showed him
self it was the signal for the pent
up enthusiasm, and the cheers of the
crowd let loose were long and lusty.
Mr.. Kerwein was kept busy for a
long time, several minutes, smiling
his acknowledgements for the honor,
and it could be seen that he was
visibly affected by the unusual dem
onstration.
Samuel ]. Corker was chairman,
and in his usual happy manner ran
off the affair in fine style, interpo-
lating many of his original witt
cisms in introducing the speakers. He
was at his best, and provoked many
hearty laughs.
Reid Howell, of Rutherford, was
the first speaker. He made an in
teresting and vigorous little speech.
Referring to the meeting he said:
"This is the greatest thing l have
been to in three years. have been
all over Bergen many times in this
campaign, but have never seen any,
thing like this crowd for interest
and enthusiasm. 1t is ahead of them
all, and reflects great credit on your
town." Mr.. Howell then went on to
tell of his pledges to administer the
Office of Freebooter according to the
honest demands of the county, and

very optimistic regarding his chances
OF being elected County Clerk on
November second.

pie of the county may rest assured

ton will be given to that office; that

RAISES SOME VERY POINTED ISSUES.

2.94, or $29.40 for each $1,000 as
sessed. Now, l left tax rate of only
2.34. Thus you see taxes have gone
steadily up with Mayor White, and
he has gain of just sixty points.
lieve this could not have been
avoided? That won't wash, like
some of the other dirty linen he has
hung out on the line to dry. Now,
with sixty point gain over me on
the tax rate, and four big roads less,
how does he get off on the question
of efficiency? How does he qualify
over me on the matter of fitness?
How does he come out on the ques-
ton of financial strength? How does
he size up as business man? A
good business man would certainly
not mess things up as he has done. This
has been bad year for business in
general. Everybody has felt the
hard times. Yet in the face of this,
Mayor White has allowed the taxes
to jump sky high. Anderson avenue,
Main street, Lemoine avenue and
roads, and not a dollar of expense to
the borough. Still, we are burdened
with a sixty point raise in the tax
rate. And once more hitting the
Honorable Mayor where the hide is
tender and rubbed off in spots, where
in the world does he get his right to
raise the price of living in the bor-
rough in the face of raising the NOV
ing picture interest assessment $780,
600? Will you answer, fellow voters
"And just one more lick at the
situation--a kind of uppercut, as it
were-a blow on the point of the
jaw: How does the impression get
out that the new sewers are the
cause of the high taxes? Bless you,
the sewer tax is all separate! You
won't find that in your tax bill, but
a separate item altogether.
has cited the wrong things in order
to prove a lack of capacity on my
part. Has he not turned the light
on his own deficiencies, rather than on
my incapacity? 1t looks to me as
though l had proven my case.

terview I stated that there were
other engineers fees on the $780,
900 worth of sewer work that he
paid the agreed price of 5 per cent.
on, which brought up the total per-
centage of costs to about the usual
figures paid nearly all engineers. He
has not said word in reply to that
statement. 1t won't do him any good
to try, for it is all too true.
"And as a final repetition of one
of the most important proposals made
in recent years on the management
of the borough's cost of upkeep, I
have planned to have the borough
engineer work on stated salary.
This will dispose of all fees, and all
thought of graft and phony work, if
anything like this could exist.
"But l am depending on the right
thinking voters all over the borough
to give me their votes. l have made
no appeal to blind prejudice. I have
come from the activities of my in
creasing personal business to serve
my people at their request. That is,
at the request of a very substantial
number of them. I am pledged to
be no more honest than l have al
ways been. l am pledged to put the
borough forward as far and as fast
as its finances will warrant. But

pledged to lower taxes. I mean lower
