This candidate is William B. Mac
kay, jr., of Hackensack, running on the
Republican ticket for State Senator.
Mr.. Mackay, jr., has made the welkin
ring with his oratory, and while he
has not put on as many frills as some
of his more pretentious rivals who
have been longer in politics, at the
same time he has left little to be de-
sired in the way of affirming his prin-
ciples and asserting himself along
correct lines about the kind of govern
ment and legislation the people are
most yitally int ,Sten IN.
There has bS 6n certain pictur-
esque interest in the campaigning of
young Mackay that has commanded
not only his own party voters, but
the Democrats as we'll. What he has
said has had the directness and force
that sent it home to his hearers, and
his dominant good humor has always
caught the crowds. Wherever he has
spoken he has had the most rapt at
tention, and there is scarcely any
doubt of his triumphant victory in
the primary next week. He has
preached the kind of politics that has
Vic SCi1uAiC aPPCdl, dIlo uC Ldo
advocated home rule, local option,
and opposition to bosses till the whole
county is talking about Mackay.
An instance of the power of Mr..
Mackay was at the big beefsteak
dinner last Saturday night at Cella's
in Fort Lee. The big hall was filled
with about 400 people, and when he
finished speaking he was given a
round of applause that literally shook
the rafters. The people there fairly
went wild over the many fine points
he made in his frey and at the same
time very human and pointed speech,
and they wanted to let him know how
they felt. He had gone over the sit
uation very deity, and had been in
terrupted many times in his speech
with loud hand clapping, but at the
end his triumph came in manner
that few public speakers ever receive.
It was genuine ovation, and lasted
for full five minutes. He had every
body's glad hand and fullest SYM
pathy, for what he had said had gone
home, and they let him know it. Not
man of that large number of we'll
known politicians had anything like
the reception that young Mr.. Mackay
got The honors were all his.

|Owlets Fish, Swim

AT Darby Summer Home

Capt. and Mrs. S. E. Darby enter
tanned the "Owlets" at their summer
home Idlease, Greenport L. l., over
Labor Day.
Simple words would be poor me-
dunn to express their enjoyment of
the Darbys wonderful hospitality.
A prize was offered to the one
catching the most fish-Harry Flagge
didn't win the prize, but he did catch
one fish.
A plunge into the bay right off the
front porch was INDUCED in at 5 a.
m. daily, and Mrs. Wolcott is some
swimmer, too. An American flag was
presented and raised on Labor Day
to celebrate the occasion.

Charles Lyons
Seeks Office Of
County Committeeman

Next Tuesday, the voters of Fair
view will be given the opportunity to
show their appreciation for the eff
them so well in years past and who
are now seeking reelection to office.
There is little doubt but that the
Lyons ticket will go through with
landslide, so to speak.
Mayor Charles Lyons, who has
served the borough in public office
for the past twelve years, seven of
which were spent in the capacity of
councilman and five as mayor, is
seeking the honors of Democratic
county committeeman from the first
district, and there is little or no
doubt but what he will swamp his
opponent, William Strong, the present
incumbent. He is seeking the office
only at the request of his many
friends who have pledged their sup
port to the last ditch. During his
early start in public office, Mayor
Lyons served as chief of police for a
term of five years under former
Mayor Hurley, and it is due, partly,
to his early connection with the police
department that it has attained it's
high efficiency.
The boom for the Lyons ticket has
extended beyond the mayor and is
pushing the campaign of John Rene
and Thomas Cody, who are seeking
reelection to the council board. Mr..
Reme's splendid qualities are so well
known and his personal acquaintance
are so many and very lasting, that
it would be a waste Of time to parade
them here. 1t is enough to know
that he has served the borough in
public office for the past six years,
and for the past four has been head
of the local police department, which,
due to his unceasing efforts, ranks
among the highest in the state. The
taxpayers are well acquainted with
Mr.. Cody, who, for the past three
years has been chairman of the
finance committee. He has been a
public servant for the past four
wears, but has become prominent dur
ing his Craftsmanship of the finance
committee, through the splendid man
kaer in which F has been able to get
(ae linanc, 1T t t tozH= Sc
| fore the p,I dc. Mr.. Cody comes from
the second kstrict while Mr.. Rene is
an aspiraht IN the first, but their
many effortd, hile members of the
board have Der ted the entire town.
Like Mayor Lyons they are staunch
| Democrats.
William Fisk is opposing them on
the Democratic ticket, while Henry
Dingler is the only Republican to
date, who, like Mr.. Fisk is seeking
the nomination for the office of coun-
Gilman.
Mr.. Fisk is a former member of
the Board of Education, while Mr..
Dingler was defeated for the office of
councilman a few years past.

All schools in Cliffside Park will

Grantwood School in Lawton avenue
for registration. Here these students
will meet their new teachers, the
Misses Bohan, Borden, Brady and Mr..

The new high school, too, will open

cording to Supervisor Bray there will
be an attendance in freshmen alone

the traffic up and down the pro-
posed Oakdene avenue hill, the Oxen

the ordinance is in process OF passage
by the mayor and council.
"The perfecting of the present

and, 1 believe" Mr.. Sammis con-
tinued, eff the matter is properly
presented to the State authorities,

properly of State calibre. Some $685.

to contribute to any extent, as the
improvement is not so indispensable

James Stewart Out AS
Palisade Candidate
To Fort Lee Council

In accordance with the demand of
his many friends of Palisade, James
Stewart, of Edgewood lane, has con-
scented to run for councilman in the
coming primary, and the chances
favor his election, as he is popular
locally, and no doubt will command a
strong vote in other sections of the
borough. He will make a good mate
for Henry D. Schall, who has been
one of the most active members of
the present council.

Baker Not In Demand.

j. Franklin Baker, the SO called home
run king of tie American league,
seems TO be more anxious to find a
berth in the major leagues than man
ayers and club owners are to engage
him. Several clubs would be glad to
sign Baker on account of his reputa-
ton as hitter for the Athletics in re-
cent years. but none seems willing to
give fortune for player who never
was fast fielder and base runner and
whose batting eye may have become
dim after years layoff. Connie
Mack asserts that he is not blocking
any deal whereby Baker might become
a Yankee, but 1t seems that Baker
wants to tie up any club that bids for
his services with contract that might
exceed his worth as player.

The TemperamentaI Hal Chase.

Since peace was declared between
the National, American and Federal
leagues no club has made much of an
effort to obtain Hal Chase of the Buff
falo Federals. Although Chase was a
star in an inferior league, his eccentric
conduct while with the Yankees and
White Sox has caused major league
clubs to hold alOof from the one time
great first baseman. It is said that no
club in the American league wants
Chase, but that If he can obtain q po-
sition in the National league no oppo-
sition will be offered by the American
league.

Firmin Cassignol, who has challeng-
ed Willie Hoppe for the 1871 or 1872
billiard championship, is acknowledge
ed to be the only player in the world
who compares favorably in point Of
skill with the title holder. The pro-
fessionals in this country themselves
admit that they cannot compete against
Hoppe with more than slight possi-
bility of victory.
But now comes Cassignol from
France, not expressly for the purpose
of playing Hoppe for the champion
ship, though this undoubtedly had some
bearing on his making the trip. If
nothing else has been accomplished
Cassignol by his challenge, has arous-
ed an interest in the professional game
In practice he has clinched the belief
in many minds that he is better than
Hoppe. In touch and closeness of play
he is the master, but many are of the
opinion that match between the two
will depend on temperament perhaps
more than playing ability. There is
agreement that Hoppe is one of the
coolest eXponents of the game, never
tlutter of excitement being reflected
In his work with the cue.
Perhaps no billiard match ever stag
ed would attract such wide interest as
one between Cassignol and Hoppe.
