lowing out the original intention.
Zimmerman Has Floor.
Ex-Councilman Zimmerman quick
ly challenged the statement of Mr..
Zabriskie. He pointed out that the
Executive Committee had made siren
uous efforts to find candidates, and,
that on the report of the committee,
as recorded in the minute book, sew
eral men had been approached but
all turned the Clubs proposition
down.
Reject Flood Endorsement.
Mr.. P. j. Carney made a motion to
endorse Councilman Flood for re-
election and this was promptly Sec
onded, but on the amendment Of Mr..
Hearn it was laid over to the next
meeting.

He also pointed out that the recent
action of he Board Of Council in or
dering garbage dumped there might
lead to complications. The property
is to be sold at the general auction,
and the new owner could order the
garbage moved from there.

Tumulty Missed The
Point, Says Hennessy

Hackensack, Oct. 1.-Ex-Senator
Charles O'Connor Hennessy, of Ber-
gen County, being asked for COM
ment upon the recent statement of
Joseph F. Tumulty, advising Pro-
gressive Democrats to "Turn away
from" fault finding criticism of Gov
ernor Edges bodybuilding legislation,
has made these observations.
Gas / may properly be included
among the fault finders in this mat
ter, l must say that greatly regret
Mr.. Tumulty's statement, chiefly be-
cause of the damage it may do to
that considerable influence which his
fine character and consistent devo-
ton to progressive policies have
earned for him. Strained and pre-
occupied as he must be with his
duties and responsibilities at Wash
ington, it is not remarkable, perhaps,
that he should misapprehend the ma
ture and extent of the opposition to
one of the features of the road-build-
ing legislation of last winter. At any
rate, he seems to entirely miss the
point at issue, when, while dwelling
effectively on the need of a State
bodybuilding program, he reprehends
the narrow, short-sighted and selfish
leadership in the Democratic party,
which opposes legislation of this bene-
ficient character.
81 am sure Mr.. Tumulty would not
have written this if he had realized
that no Democratic leaders of any
kind have opposed or are opposing
the sort of legislation he describes.
Democrats in the Legislature and out
of it have approved, or have ac-

CAMPAIGN GETTING GOOD START.

The Republican Citizens Ticket,
man for man, is one of the best ever
offered to the voters of Fort Lee.
Any argument on the point would be
futile
For Mayor, Samuel Joseph Corker,
native-born son, is not only one of
the best known men in the borough,
but one of the very best men any
where. A better man never stood for
the Office of mayor. Of Sam Corker
it may be said that he has never been
found wanting in a single element
that counts in the making of man.
He is loyal to his task in life to the
last degree. He is never poser.
Plain, clean, strong. That is Sam
Corker
AS for capacity, he is a wheelhorse
for energy. His business is success
and everybody knows where he is at.
AS mayor of the Borough Mr.. Corker
would do business at an open stand.
He would represent the peoples in
terests, and give the borough every
ounce of his strength he could af-
ford. Not only that, but he has
fathered a platform of REAL RE-
FORM in LOWER TAXES and Com
mission Government if the people
want it, and he has promised to let
them know all about it.
Arthur E. Kerwein, for councilman,
is one of the best known men in Fort
Lee. He has lived here all his life,
is popular, honest as the day is long,
and is q successful business man.
Absolutely without frills he is a
man of the people. He has been
Mayor and several times councilman.
His record has been good one and
ne has sfs aa3ys his.6 the best i1tefests
Of the borough at heart, and the eo4-
fidence of the public.
John Marx, for council, is a retired
business man, and at present is a
member of Council. He is man of
fearless opinion, works for the right
always, and cannot be biased or in
fluenced without knowing the direc-
ton to be right. He never votes on
any important subject without due
deliberation.

COMMISSION PLANK A STRONG ONE.

Confident of the success of the
splendid ticket that has been named
by their party, the Republican Cam
paign Committee is going ahead with
it's work on behalf of a good business
administration for Fort Lee affairs,
and has already held several enthusi-
astic meetings. They feel, as great
many other interested citizens of the
Borough feel, that the Republican tic
ket presented this year is the best
ticket ever laid before the voters OF
this Borough. When the leading citl-
zens Of the Borough prevailed upon
Samuel ]. Corker to run for Mayor
they realized that he was making a
big sacrifice to do SO, but they felt
that in the light of the past four
years the biggest man in the Borough
was needed at this time. And when
Mr.. Corker accepted the nomination,
there was general satisfaction
throughout the Borough. His execu-
tive ability and his popularity I'M.
pressed every one with the belief
that under his management this Ber-
eugh could attain the degree OF elil-
cheney and economy IN public affairs
which it so sorely needs.
Consequently there is a great rally,
ing on every side about the standard
of Sam Corker, and enthusiasm is
evinced everywhere throughout the
different sections of the Borough over
his campaign, as well as that Of the
candidates for council on the Republl-
can ticket, Messrs. Marx and Kerweln.
Both of these men have served IN
council before and their records are
clean and creditable.
There are no ways OF doubling the
sentiment CT the people at this time.
Expressions are pouring In from
every quarter of the Borough endors-
ing the Corker ticket and congratu-
lating the men compose it. Every
body feels that change in Borough
affairs is imperative.

In it's review of the records of the
Fort Lee candidates in the coming
election, the Sentinel last week had
much to say, comment on portions OF
it being in order. Regarding the
Mayor, the Sentinel says:
cit is not necessary at this time to
review the record of the Mayor. That
record of four years is before the pub
lie. From time to time he will nc
doubt discuss matters of public inter
est, describe the many notable ACHE.
vements of his administration and
place before the people his aims dur
ing the next two years. We shall at
this time discuss only the candidates
who are running on the ticket with
Mayor White"
AS long as the Mayor is going to
talk about himself later on in the
campaign, this might be good time
to suggest that his record of four
years does speak for itself. And ii
there was ever anything to equal il
in inefficiency, it would be diff
cult to point it out. 1t has been
all right for him, but what OF
the people? What have they got
ten for their high taxes? The excuse
is given that much of the money
spent has gone to pay off back debts
established by former administrations,
statement as utterly indefensible as
any ever made.
Taxes have gone up sky-high, and
which way they are going to jump
next we shall not know till the bills
are in. That is, just how high they
are going to jump. But the public
may be prepared for an unheard of
jump. And as usual they will excuse
the jump on one plea or another.

LAHM USED AS FOIL FOR BENDER.

Murphy, one Of the leading lights of
the Universal Film Company, and
manager of the Fort Lee plant Here
is what Mr.. Kelly says of Mr..
Murphy:
lone of the candidates is Edwin
F. Murphy, who is for the first time
before the public as a candidate for
office. Mr.. Murphy is 40 years old
and has been a resident of the Bor-
ough for number of years. He was
born in Plainfield, and knows the nasd
of New Jersey communities. Mr..
Murphy came to Fort Lee when the
moving picture business was in its
infancy and has helped to make it one
of the greatest centres of the movie"
development in the United States.
He was first with the New York Mo
ton Picture Company as factory
superintendent. Two years ago he
went to the Universal Film Company
as superintendent of the laboratory,
which department he established. In
his department are more than 800
men and women for whose work he is
responsible and with whose employ
ment he is in charge. He has given
hundreds of the men and women in
the Borough employment-in fact has
employed more residents of the Bor-
ough than any other man in it. Not
only that, but the knowledge they
have gained in working under him
has enabled scores to find advancement
and greater remuneration with other
concerns. The Borough will indeed
be fortunate in the election of man
of Mr.. Murphy's executive ability to
work with the Mayor during his COM
ing term"
Now Mr.. Murphy has been not been
resident of the Borough for "sev-
eral years." and has lived here less
than two years. This fact should not
bar the ordinary citizen, but in Mr..
Murphy's case, the simple ethics of
the situation should bar him without

Walter C. Owen is a candidate. He

to be an able, courageous and fair
minded man. He is in the prime OF
life and maintains a sympathetic attl-
tude towards modern tendencies IN
legislation and towards all institutions
Of government designed for the bet
torment of the whole people. Having
acquired training in the public serv-
ice which equips him for judicial la

selves of the benefit Of such training
and secure the long years of useful
service which he can render upon the
Supreme Court of the state.
