Perkins, In FAVOR of
Edge For Governor,
Fights Local Option

The whole state is watching and
with verying emotion the remarkable
developments in the Bergen county
contest for the Republican State
Senate nomination in which William
B. Mackay, who is against the Gaunt
Local Option bill, and Fred w. Mat
tocks and Randolph Perkins, who are
both for the Gaunt bill are engaged
in bitter triangular contest.
Mattocks has enlivened the situa-
ton by a very interesting letter to
President John H. Ward, of the Non
Partisan Bergen County Local Option
League. In that letter Mattocks
points out the peril to the local OPP
ton cause and urges that Perkins be
urged to withdraw. Mattocks claim
ing to be the one consistent candi-
date for the Republican State Senate
nomination.
1t is hardly probable, however,
that any of the three remaining can
didates will retire.
Matticks' interesting letter to Presi-
dent Ward is as follows:
Mr.. John H. Ward,
President, Bergen County Local
Option League.
My Dear Mr.. Ward:
I learn that Former Judge Cor
nelius Doremus has retired from the
race for the Republican State Senate
nomination, and that your organiza-
ton was instrumental in getting him
to withdraw. Your reason for get
ting Mr.. Doremus to retire was in
order that the local option vote might
not be split, and an opponent of the
Ganut--bill be nominated at the Re-
publican primaries on September 26.
1t seems to me that this was good
work on your part.
If the local option vote is divided,
it is reasonably certain that the saloon
and Public Service Corporation can
didate will be nominated.

The regular September meeting of
the Cliffside Park School Board was
held on Friday evening, September l.,
all members being present except Mr..
Smith.
Schools Open September rs
After some discussion Trustee Goe-
mann moved that September 25, Mon
day, be fixed as the opening date for
all the Cliffside Park schools, the
teachers, however, to report for in
struction on September 7. This was
carried. Mr. Fox pointed out that it
was the practice in the New York
schools to have preliminary meetings
of teachers for lectures by the super
intendent or principal. 1t is under
stood, too, that the date, September z,
is the date when it is necessary for
teachers to report i'll order that the
usual allowance of State moneys
would be received.
Mr.. Fox Complains Bit
Trustee Fox complained that he had
received no notice of the meeting at
which Mr. O'Toole was elected as
assistant to Supervisor Bray and di-
rector of the new high school. Of
course, lie Was HUI OppOScu W CHS
candidate, but still he thought there
were plenty of other able men to
choose from. Trustee Conroy replied
rather sharply to the effect that Mr..
O'Toole had been chosen by the board
upon the recommendation of the
teachers committee and Supervisor
Bray.
New High School About Ready
The building and grounds COM
mittee reported that the mechanics
were practically all out of the new
high-eehool; in regard to the Cliff
side school the B1tgen Contracting
Company's work on the grading of
the grounds was about completed.
An eighteen-inch cobble gutter was
ordered placed along the base of the
new stone wall, and the high rock
outside the fence along the trolley
line blasted.
Mr.. harrington, New Teacher
The telephones of the schools were
ordered concentrated in central
switchboard in the high school,
through which all calls would have
to be made. Mr.. Barringer was ap-
pointed instructor in the commercial
department of the high school at a
salary of 5000. The application Of
the parents of the deaf and dumb boy
for tuition was attended to by re-
ferring them to the free school for
such cases at Trenton. Bids were
ordered advertised for for shades for
the high school. The next meeting
of the board was then set for Sep
TENDER Is.

good men, and represent the party
principles, at the same time, not a
man of the four opposed to Major
McClave bears his clean-cut, untarn-
ished record as citizen. The Major
is the true type in everything that
represents genuine worth and ability,
His long association with public af-
fairs makes him an ideal candidate
for the position he seeks, and every
body in this end of Bergen, and all
over it, in fact, is pulling for his sue
cess at the primaries.
Major McClave is the only business
man among the five running. Three
are lawyers and one a professor
Major McClave's record is unusual.
He succeeded to his fathers business
in New York and was made president
of the company the former founded.
In all of the forty-nine years OF this
business there was never a strike or
the slightest labor trouble OF any
kind.

High Pitch Of
Excitement Over
Italian Killing

Little Italy, as the Cliffside- Fair
view Italian Colony extending from
Nagel street to Anderson avenue, and
from Cliff street to Murray street,
has come to be known, was stirred to
its depths on Sunday night by shoot
ing and stabbing ARRAY in Nagel
street which resulted in the mortal
wounding of Mrs. Filomena Alloccia,
of 238 Nagel street and the scalp
wounding of Anthony Pinto, of 240
Nagel street and Gaetano Aummziata,
of Edgewater.
All three had been present at an
Italian celebration in Murray street
in the afternoon, on which occasion
Gaetana had Extensively held forth
on the crippled condition of An
thongs body. The latter had resent
ed this, but the differences of the two
had been smoothed over, and they had
left the place, andgone to Pinto's
house. Here the wrangling had con-
tinued until it had become so violent
that Signora Alloccia who was in her
house next door rushed out on the
sidewalk to go between them. Just
as she arrived the shooting began and
the first bullet found the unfortunate
woman in vital spot and lay her
low.

Isulnmoiling an ambulance 3roih the
North Hudson Hospital, started in
pursuit of the shooters. Pinto was
brought to light without much
trouble crouching under his bed with
bad scalp wound. Ammuziata was
found sometime later wandering the
streets of Edgewater by Officer Cole
man, also with blood streaming from
a scalp wound.
Both were sent to North Hudson
Hospital after being treated at the
Red Cross drug store. Early in the
| morning word was received that Mrs.
Alloccia had died.
|. Meanwhile the Sheriff had been
communicated with in Hackensack
and on Monday morning detectives
were sent over to secure evidence of
the tragedy and to take photographs
of the scene of the shooting The
hospital reported that the two men
were out of danger and so they were
removed under custody to Hackensack
Jail. On Tuesday morning at 11.30
the body of the woman was brought
in a casket by Undertaken McNally
to the home where it was received by
members of the deceased's family and
great crowd of friends; a large
crwd of children and other curious
persons looked on. Meanwhile one
could hear indoors the peculiar wall
ing and mournful chanting of the
people.
On Monday, Michael Madden, JUS
tice of the peace, held hearing as
result of which several witnesses
were held to appear before County
Detective Nestel on Tuesday night at
the Borough Hall. After Detective
Nestel had secured signed state
ments from four witnesses, three
men and woman, they were all held
in $1,000 bail to appear at hearing
at Hackensack Court House.

The Rev. Marshall F. Montgomery
has returned from his vacation and
assumed charge of the services at
Trinity Church.
Last Sunday he used the oppor-
tunity afforded by Labor Day to make
some friendly suggestions to the
cause of labor.
He said in part:
An Independent" worker, politi-
ton, humanitarian or what not, is as
useful to the cause of labor, good
government or society as wild man
tanning the air with a stuffed club.
No great battle, no triumph of JUS
tice over injustice, no great truth, has
ever been won single handed and
alone.
The old adage is true as the ever
lasting hills.
"In union there is strength"
In governments one must work
through parties. In the scheme OF
human uplift, society must work to-
gether.
And as for labor, this being the
foundation, the bulwork of the ma
ton, it's welfare, it's interests
must be protected and guarded as 8
sacred duty. AS has well been said
"The machinery upon which the run
ming gear of a nation depends il

Fort Lee Democrats
Holds Big Caucus
Tuesday Euening

The Fort Lee Democracy held a
rousing informal caucus at Ferran-
dos Hall, Main street, Fort Lee, on
Tuesday evening, September S. Coun-
ty Committeeman John Whitaker, of
Coytesville, presided, and James D.
Moore, of Fort Lee, acted as secre-
tary. 1t was evident, from the size
of the gathering, that there is no
doubt of Fort Lee piling up it's usual
large Democratic majority. Outside
of friendly contest in the matter
of councilman, complete accord pre-
walls so far as the rest of the ticket
is concerned. This is evidenced by
the fact that the meeting unanimous
ly endorsed Judge John w. Westcott
for senator, Sheriff Robert N. Heath
for congress and Arthur M. >Agnew
for state senator.
1t was decided hold meeting at
Ferrando's Hall on Wednesday, Sep
TENDER Is, 1916, at which meeting H.
Otto Wittpenn has promised to be
present. The county candidates will
also be invited to present their side
of the story.
On the local ticket the following
candidates have expressed their de-
sire to run for councilman, full
term: Harry Cook, Charles j. Hirli-
mann, jr. and James S. Stewart.
For the unexpired term Of Daniel A.
MeAqoy there are two candidates,
his brother, Henry A. McAvoy and
Louis A. Robineau. For the two va
cancies for Justice of the Peace,
Ralph H. Reid and James D. Moore
have filed petitions. Robert Fuller,
Charles Sontag and Ernest Schlupp
are in the race for constable. The
five county committeeman have all
signified their intention of filing their
petitions for return as members OF
the County Committee.

Adjourned Sitting
CifSide Council
Knox Ayneue Improvement

The Cliffside Park Mayor and Coun-
ell met in adjourned session on Fri
day evening, September l. Various
ordinances for street improvement
were read and passed. The ordinance
for grading, matchmaking and i'm
proving Knox avenue received it's
second and third readings and final
passage. Upon the reading of the
ordinance to improve Edgewater road,
Councilman Naedler proposed that
the matter be laid over until State
aid could be secured. President
Sammis said he didn't see any advan-
tage to be gained in the delay. The
petition for the improvement had
been signed by so per cent. of the
property owners on the street and the
regular procedure had been followed.
Bids were ordered advertised for for
the laying of concrete sidewalk,
curb and gutter on Knox avenue.
Wants Lower Interest
President Sammis objected to the
high rate of per cent. charged by
the banks for loans to the borough
especially considering the nature OF
the securities offered. Mr.. Sammis
also pointed out that there was $14,-
900 in the sinking fund and that
there was no organized sinking fund
commission to take charge of it.
Cost of Future Buildings
The new building code was con-
tinued on first reading. On amend
ments suggested by Mr.. Sammis to
the code was that instead of mini
mum cost of $4,000 for future resi-
dences north of Edgewater road, the
amount be fixed at $4,000. He sug-
gested that all north and south thor
oughfares be opened to business
blocks. The paving in front of Cliff
side school was ordered continued to
the curb on the school side OF the
street.

Charles T. Logan, Jr.
And His Short Career
Nils Father
Following the little sScrecd

Following the little screcd / pre-
scented in last weeks "Palisadian'
about my son Charles who so recently
passed away, | am led into saying
something more about him because
deem his character worthy of more
than could possibly be contained in a
mere running sketch.
In adding to what has already been
said of him by his many kind friends,
| shall carry the story bit further
because there are many things about
him eminently worthy of being hand
ed down as an example for others
to either follow or at least remember.
l had never thought to have the task
of writing about my son as dead.
He gave every promise of being a
great big healthy fellow, and though
he had always been more or less frail
from his boyhood up, 1 fully expected
him to fill out and be of rosy health
when he got out of college and was
free from the cares and strenuosities
of that life. Instead, it was really i'll
health that drove him from his
studies the year before he was to
graduate. Entering into a business
that required the greatest care and
hard work to maintain, he was in
point of fact, undermining his
strength, and especially the last few
months of his life when things were
beginning to break better for him.
One of my New York friends, c. Iron
monger, one of the greatest experts
in advertising anywhere, who had
known Charles, looked upon him as
possessing great possibilities in the
advertising world, and had invited
him to come into his own office and
build himself up under his tutelage
He had accepted the kind proffer, and
had his literature all printed ready
to Immediately branch out in the
Evening Post building, New York.
l have already alluded in my former
article to the fact that l did not
know the estimate the public held of
Charles. 1t all came to US like a
gracious message from heaven when
kindly tributes and messages literally
poured in on us from almost every
state in the Union where he had
friends. We have been taken COM
pletely aback at the great number of
people who knew him, and who
mourned his untimely death. He was
at Columbia when there were nearly
$4,000 students there, and Dean
Keppel told me there was never a
more popular student at Columbia.
There was something strangely lik-
able about him. Either it was his way
of treating people; his manner of
meeting every one so cordially; his
happy disposition; his constant smile
and good humor all the time; his ag-
gressiveness, for he bent himself to
every task to add quality to his
work. He never wanted to work or
play without having it backed with
an ideal. He would never do anything
indifferently.

Husband And Wife
At Swords Points

John Pedanike married Wiktoria
Sestork eleven years ago. Four years
ago the pair agreed to disagree. Day
before yesterday John appeared at
Wiktoria's home and threatened her
with violence calling her at the same
time vile names. Wikotria appealed
to the Cliffside Park authorities and
as a result John was hailed before
Recorder McClave that evening and
placed under bonds to keep the peace
for four months. Morris Bloomberg
acted as bondSman.

From the "Palisadian," January, 1912

Honorable S. Wood McClave has
retired from office, after four years of
valiant service as Mayor of the
Borough of Cliffside. He left an
honorable record and did more real
tangible good, perhaps, than any man
that ever filled the Office in his bor-
ough. All this was due and possible
through his great ability in the first
place, added to his thorough honesty
and fidelity of purpose. Major Nc
Clave presents type of cleanness in
politics rarely found, and it is to be
hoped that he may yet be called to
higher responsibilities. He's of the
right sort"
