ELECTION CAMPAIGN FOR FLOOD
AND POST STRONGLY CARRIED
OUT IN CLIFFSiDE PARK,

The publicity campaign inaugurated
some time ago to enlighten the citi-
zens of Cliffside Park as to the short
comings of the present administration
and the remedy at their disposal on
election day, continued to draw large
crowds to the two open air meetings,
held Saturday night
The first meeting held at Gorge Rd.
and Andrews Ave. was particularly
interesting as a few of Mr. Cadinis
personal friends and relatives attended
to hear some clean, clear and concise
arguments and reasons why the voters
of the Boro should not re-elect John
c. Cabin mayor a third term.
Joseph A. Preston the first speaker,
defined and explained some of the
planks of the platform on which Flood
and Post are running and which has
been sent broadcast through the Boro
in order that the people might know
before election what to expect after
election.
He said in part that the campaign,
started some months ago, was about
work done to bring before the public
through the press, the stump and the
mail the startling revelations brought
to light at the first and at subsequent
public meetings held in the name of
good government
Hubert L. Post, candidate for coun-
Gilman, spoke of the need of instiling
business efficiency into the admins
tration and pointed with pride to his
successful career as a business man.
He condemned the methods of the
present administration in spending
money for improvements the people
as whole did not want and of
'neglecting to do what decency and
justice demanded He spoke of the
$500 fire apparatus as an example of
the lack of foresight and judgment in
purchasing a machine which is moth
ing but an ornament and memorial
to the inefficiency of the administra
ton. He decried the action of the
mayor in neglecting to eradicate the
Thiel Quarry nuisance before four
lives were lost and condemned the
proposition now advanced to spend
$4,000 to construct street to pro-
cure material to fill in the pond
James j. Flood, candidate for mayor,
in an earnest appeal, asked the voters
to play the game fair. He has been
in public life number of years and
has always endeavored to ascertain
and carry out the will of the people.
And he promises to continue to do so,
if elected mayor. He says he is in
this race and expects the support of
his many friends and well wishers.
After election" the candidate said,
there will be grand rush to board
the band wagon but he must be shown
before election. And any post election
cheers and banner carrying will not
atone for the failure to hustle during
this campaign.
The speakers then proceeded by auto
mobile to West Granwtood where
many illuminating points of interest
to the taxpayers in that section of the
Boro, were brought out. Mr. Flood
mentioned the sewer there, part of
which has cen built in Fort Lee
Boro, without any agreement on the
part of the Fort Lee Boro officials and
asked what will happen if the Fort
Lee officials decide to close up the
sewer or refuse to allow it to remain?
Mr.. Post spoke of the discourtesy with
which certain gentlemen from West
Grantwood was received at council
meeting when he went there to COM
plain that his cellar was filled with
water.
