ORGANIZATION
NOMINATES CANDIDATES
James Yates, in the First Ward. and Edwin
j. Wins, in the Second, Given Big Ma
~iorities for Council at Polls Last Tues
day--Republican County CandidatesRe-
ceive Large Vote.
ONE THIRD OF REGISTERED VOTE IS CAST

The local Republican organization
forces scored a big triumph in the
primaries last Tuesday. They put
across their candidates for Council in
both wards by decisive majorities.
In the First Ward, James Yates, back
ed by the organization forces, had a
majority of 289 over his opponent,
Councilman Wilbur w. Adams. Mr..
Yates also received the nomination on
the Democratic ticket, the Democrats
having no Councilmanic candidates in
the field. In the Second Ward, Edwin
j. WINS, also backed by the organiza-
ton, won over his opponent, Council
man Walter j.. Anderson, by a MAORI
ty of 2i9. Like MI. Yates, the Demo
Gratis also gave MI. WINS the nomina-
ton for Council in the Second Ward.
The primaries passed off very qui-
city. In fact, since the announcement
of the opposing candidates for Coun-
Gil, there has been but little interest
apparent. The fact that one-third of
the registered vote was polled in an
off-year politically, shows conclusive
ly, however, that the quiet work of
the organization forces was very
effective. There We're HOS votes
polled out of a total of $3.50.
Messrs. Blair and Corio, for the
Assembly, and William B. Parsels, for
Coroner, running .unopposed as the
County organization candidates, poll

Housed at Old Suburban Power
Plant.
TO BUILD TRUCKS
AND PLEASURE CARS

The Penn Motor Corporation, manu-
facturers of the Penn automobile, have
been attracted to Pleasantville through
the untiring efforts of ex-Councilman
Raymond G. Ireland, who, with several
members of the local Chamber of
Commerce, was in conference with
their representatives during the past
week. At this conference the COM
pany definitely decided upon Pleasant
vile as the location for their new
plant. The necessary preliminary ar.
rangements have been perfected that
will assuresehe erection of a large fac
tory in u city. While their new
building Is in course of construction
they will temporarily occupy the pow
er plant of the Atlantic & Suburban
Railway Co., on the Old Turnpike.
A large tract of land located on the
Boulevard will be purchased by the
company, who plan the early erection
of a thoroughly modern plant for the
manufacture of their cars. When 60
ing at full capacity employment will
be given to a large number of men,
some of whom are experts, and will
be brought here with the establish
ment of the plant in this city. EN-
ployment will also be given many
local men.
The company is planning an agrees
sive advertising campaign, i'll which
~PleJsantville will figure c~onspicuously.
The name of the Penn car will be
linked with that of Pleasantville just
as the Ford is linked with Detroit.
A large truck chassis of their manu-
facture has been on exhibition in the
city this week. 1t is a wonderfully de
signed truck of massive construction,
and has the appearance of a power
fully built machine. 1t has elected
much favorable comment from all who
have seen it. A large sign on the
chassis its make and the
fact that the factory which produces
it is located in P~leasantville. 1t is
said! that several other trucks and
pleasure cars are to arrive here short
ly and be placed On display. The
price of the chassis and pleasure car
is remarkably low for the high-grade
of construction, and it is believed that
a ready market will await the output
of the new factory.

THE ANCESTRAL ALBUM.

All the folks, l reckon, that admires the works of art,
Knows the one collection that is nearest to their heart -.
Paintin's by the masters,-sech as Rembrant or Mnlay
Fetch a power o. money from the nabobs, so they say
But, in my humble Judgement, there's nothin' better shown
Than my old family album, that our Grandma used to own
It's in the simplest bindin-with a bit of flagree,
That gives a faint artistic hint of what you're goln' to see
The clasp is easy opened,-simple latch of bue-and-gold,
Hinun' stronger of the treasures that its faded pages hold
There's faces there, that brings a mist before a feller's eyes,
When we visit in the album, that our Grandma used to prize
l love to search it frequent, and reckon alters will
To find true art exempifed,-which more than fills the bill;
l reckon you have got one,l wouldn't be surprised
For, this here art collection can't be monopolized
From patriarch to baby-that can barely set alone
They're all here, in the album, that our Grandma used to own.
