After a period of comparative quieti-
tude the political sky in Cliffside Park
blazes forth this week with quite a
number of bright luminaries in the
armament. Hats have finally been
cast in the ring, ten of them so far,
as follows: For Mayor, Edward Kenny
and Joseph Marini on the Republican
ticket and Joseph Whelan ON the
Democratic ticket; for Councilmen,
John Macdonald, G. Siegrist, James
Aiken and John w. Lawlor on the Re-
publican ticket and Fred Weiss ON the
Democratic ticket; for Collector, Her
bert l.. Post and c.. M. Stein ON the
Republican ticket
The information is absolutely au-
thentic and was gathered from the
several meetings that were held the
past few days. A Republican meeting
at Stetka's Hall on Wednesday night.
a Democratic meeting at the same
place on Thursday night and a gather
mig of citizens at the home of Herbert
L. Post on Thursday night.
Few were present at the Republican
meeting on Wednesday evening. How
ever the meeting developed into an
intention to run for collector stated
the ball rolling by calling on Mr.. Kenny
to say word or two. He responded
and told of his intention to run for
Mayor and stated that this time his
platform would carry a plank for the
constructive development of the bor-
ough, stating that two years ago he
ran On a platform which pledged econ
omy in the administration of borough
affairs and that the policy he advo-
Gated had been followed out by the
present Council Board.
Mr.. Marini briefly announced his
candidacy for the office of Mayor.
Herbert Post in making known his
intention to run for collector stated
that he was in a position to show the
people of this borough that he had
saved them many times his salary
since he has been serving and he felt
he could fill the job as we'll as any
one in town and maybe trife better
because of the experience this brief
term has afforded him.
Walter Stein, speaking for his father
of the latter to run for the collector
meeting held in Steka's on Thursday
ship.
ROBERT Todd was present and ad-
dressed the assemblage, pointing out
his fitness for Office of Freeholder for
which he is running and left the i'm
preston that he was going into office,
If elected, with determination to get
fair distribution of state highway
money for this section of the county.
Samuel Corker, the Republican can
didate for Mayor i'll Fort Lee, was
called upon and responded with an in
teresting talk on matters that were of
mutual interest to both boroughs and
to the welfare of the Republican party.
Mr. Renkin, president of the Cliff
side Democratic Club, presided at the
meeting held in Stetka's on Thursday
night. The gathering endorsed Jo-
seph Whelan for the Democratic candi-
date for Mayor.
The meeting at the home of Mr. Post
was an enthusiastic one and a number
of prominent citizens took part in the
discussion of what would be the most
expedient and best thing for that par
ticular group to do. No candidates
were endorsed. Among those who ad-
dressed the meeting were Duncan Nc
Clave, Seymour Sears and Mrs.
Warren.
This is the story to date and, of
course, each week will bring forth new
developments as all factions are plan
ming for weekly meetings. The next
meeting of the Cliffside Republican
Club will be held in Stetka's Hall on
next Wednesday night.
