LATE REFLECTION BY
", CRANTWOOD ASSN
Continued from page 1

Fifst-That Mr. VOLTS signature
on the letter of the association con-
stituted a violation of the Corrupt
Practices Act and opened him person
ally to indictment therefor.
Second-That a certain man whom
Mr.. Kenny presented to, and who dis
played badge to Mr.. Wolf, was from
the prosecutors Office to investigate
Mr.. VOLTS violation.
Third-That Mr.. Wolf would be Sc
cure from liability if he signed an
affidavit denying his knowledge and
signature of the letter.
Fourth-That such affidavit would
not be used in any public way as cam
paign material or otherwise.
Trusting to the truth of that infor-
nation, and in fear of his personal
position, Mr.. Wolf informs us further,
he signed the affidavit. If our infor-
nation be trustworthy, then the affi-
davit was plainly secured through a
process of intimidation and false rep
reservations on the part of Messrs.
Kenny and Dietrich.
S. That an affidavit issued late on
on election day by Mr.. Lamar Vieau,
saying that he had been authorized
to make a statement for the executive
committee, was the result of mis-
understanding in conversations be-
tween him and officers of the associa-
ton. Mr.. Vieau was told that it was
his personal right to make any state
ment he wished to make concerning
the conversations, but was not au-
thorized to act as spokesman. The
gist of these conversations was to the
effect that the letter of the associa.
tion which the affidavit of Mr.. Wolf
denied was an authoritative act of the
executive committee
We trust that the above will serve
to assure those who witnessed the
events referred to above of the mo-
tives of fairness and justice and i'm
partiality which led the executive
committee to do their duty in defense
of the association.
Very truly yours,
j. Mcdonald, President.

Moose Club Stagg
Receives No Action

Another week has fiuttered by and
still there has been no action on the
Moose Club case. A few weeks ago
all Cliffside Park was perturbed. But
now the situation is well at rest. Yea,
we may even say it is only few
listless ones who have anything to
say on the matter.
1t was said that the borough Off
cials were anxious to take immediate
action to rid the town of the so-called
nuisance A real turmoil was started.
Moose officials became excited. The
borough hired special attorney. Re-
corder Kenney was to pick jury.
And yet the third week has rolled
by. Special Attorney Maley has not
taken the matter into the local court.
The townspeople seem to have forgot
ten the stag and its evil functionings.
But it's a safe bet that there will be
another complaint before many weeks
have passed. Especially if what GER
tain members of the local Moose
Lodge have expressed is true.

First occupied during the year 1855
this building was constructed as a
memorial to, the brave soldiers and
sailors who had go well served their
country during the Ciyil War, as well
as to house the employees and records
of the Pension Bureau.
The corridor accommodates $4,000
people and It is here that the pres
