Big Campaign Planned
For Candidate Ramsey

The campaign for the election of
John R. Ramsey, who was nominated
as the Republican candidate for the
House of Representatives is now
well under way. Mr.. Ramsey has
been County Clerk for fifteen years
and the only Republican to hold this
office, has made an enviable record in
public affairs. AS a lawyer he stands
high in his profession and he is es-
teemed by his associates at the bar
for his sterling integrity. Among the
first to congratulate Mr.. Ramsey
were his defeated opponents who
promised their assistance in his fight
for election. He is running on
platform of popular plaks, and stands
for protection of American industries,
preparedness and Americanism. Mr..
Ramsey's many friends look forward
to a sweeping victory and base their
claims on the many Republican sue
cesses that predict party victory.

Z. Y. Cohen
Severely Burned
By Alcohol Lamp

Some days before returning from
their summer home at Meriwold
Park, Sullivan county, N. Y, Mrs. E..
Yancey Cohen was severely burned
about the face, nose and forehead by
the explosion of a small alcohol lamp.
Her daughter Evelyn had been i'll
with a slight fever, and desiring some
warm water hurriedly, Mrs. Cohen
went into the bath room to heat some
over the little lamp, when it in some
way spluttered up and threw the
burning fluid into her face and hair.
There were several burns that blist-
cred around the bridge of the nose,
and cheeks, and Mrs. Cohen's hair
was singed. She slapped the hair out
with her hands, however, but got the
hurts around the, nose and eyes. 1t
is hoped there will be no scars. Mrs.
Cohen suffered greatest from inabil-
ity to wear glasses following the ac-
cident, which part of her mishap con-
tinues up to now, and she has been
greatly inexperienced.

Dear Sir:

Editor of the "Palisadian,"
Dear Sir:
want to thank you for your splen-
die support. in my campaign for the
Congressional nomination in the 9th
District of New Jersey also wish to
thank through you, the citizens of the
Borough of Cliffside Park who gave
me such splendid support, in the fact
that | received 140 out of 1873 votes.
also want to thank that one Demo-
.rat for his vote on the Democratic
ticlet, and believe that there were
a great many of my Democratic
friends in Cliffside Park, who would
have voted for me if they had thought
their vote would have been of any
benefit
1t is. great satisfaction for a Can
didate to have the support of his
home town, because if he cannot Sc
cure that, he could hardly expect the
support of other sections. However
| was as now known, unsuccessful,
but | have no regrets, as | did all
that could to secure the nomination.
/ learned however on the day after
the Primary, of at least one false
.rulnor that no doubt hurt me poi 81
cally among certain class Of inf1ush-
tai voters. 7 am however not dis
couraged and should the present Re-
publican nominee fail Of election, l
shall try again in 1918 with a more
thorough and Systematic campaign
ing, than has been done heretofore
and | trust with better success.
Very truly yours,
