1st. CANDIDATE FORPRESIDENT
TOLD OF BY Mr.. HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic J. HaskiD

Alabaman. it seems, would pre-empt
that tield.
Moreover. Underwood has served
notice that the Solid South" of
Democracy will no longer stand for
having its candidate pushed aside
or eliminated simply because he
comes from the section that always
gives its electoral votes to a Demo-
crat, no matter who he may be.
1t may be in the interest of some
politicians" he said Ito raise the cry
that 1t is inexpedient to nominate
a man from a State that will surely
espo any nominee who maintains
the principles of Democracy, but l
90 not believe that any such thought
rests in the hearts and minds of
the great mass of people in the
North. I am sure that our brethren
from the North are no longer con-
sidering as vital question the State
from which the candidate halls, but
their first thought is the principles
for which he stands and the second
the character of the man."
Not So Conservative
In 1912 the Underwood supporters
laid great stress on the conservatism
OF their candidate and urged that
while he was from the South he wa
essentially the same kind of man he
would be if he hailed from New
York or any other eastern or north
ern state and would be found Just
as acceptable to the people of those
sections. In this campaign it ap-
pears that the Underwood candidacy
Is not to be quite SO conservative,
for the Senator wallops the new tar
III law as prejudicial to the interests
of the farmers, which may be inter
preted as a bid for the support of
the radicals and progressives of the
West and Northwest.
Also, in his earlier race 1t was
limited and even charged that Under
wood was such an extreme conserva-
tive that "big interests" looked on
him with favor and were financing
and furthering his campaign in every
way possible.
This time the Senator finds occas-
ion to say at the very outset that
he has neither the financial support
nor the organization successfully to
make nationwide campaign" That
may NC lelhGil dS d ueHldl IndI AIlX
big interests" are behind his can
didacy or that he expects or wants
any such support.
So far as making a nationwide
campaign is concerned. however, or
the financial backing wherewith to
do it, we'll informed politicians and
| observers do not believe the Under
wood interests will suffer in those
respects. They point out that there
would be no occasion for launching
his candidacy at such an early date
If fight in his behalf on a national
scale were not projected. They like
wise say that such an ambitious
program would be futile If it were
not assured of ample financial re-
sources.
Whatever the developments of the
next twelve months or so may be,
Senator Underwood has at least
taught other presidential aspirants
two lessons:
First, II you are a candidate, say
so frankly and without equivoca-
tions
Second, II you want to be candi-
date. get somebody to ask you to be.
Miss Democracy can not sing the
Alabama statesman the old familiar
song which runs, Nobody asked
you, kind sir she said"

Street by Street-Know Your City
MEREDITH STREET

Meredith street extends from AM
boy avenue east 10 West Side ave-

street is neither graded nor paved,
although there are few houses in
the section nearest Amboy avenue.
The street was laid out twenty-five
years ago by C. C. Hommann, but
for some unknown reason the map
was not filed in the county clerk s
office until February is, 1912. The
street runs through the estate of
John Arnold, which was cut up into
building lots some years ago. The
street was named after the Mere
dith family.

Washington. The gypsy moth,
which long has been playing havoc in
the forests of New England and else
where, must watch its step from now
ON. Early in June experts of the De
partment of Agriculture will start a
fight on this tree pest from the air.
For this campaign the army air
service has turned over to the depart
ment the NIB, new-type motor bal
loon built for the specific purpose OF
spraying and powdering with chemi-
Gals pest-infested forests.
The NIB Is capable of lowering over

In the campaign. 1t has been thorough
ly tested by the engineering division of
the air service at McCook field. 1t is
equipped with two 75-horse power mo-
tors and carries five passengers. An
army crew will navigate the NIB dur
ing the campaign against the gyrsy

Councilman Schweitzer expressed
himself as being opposed to lowering
the bars as they now stand and added
to the argument by telling of the ne
cessity for additional traffic cops
should the buses be allowed to run.
Mr. Mcdonald of West Grantwood,
who was present, took advantage of
the opportunity to make known his
own views in favor of the buses and to
remind the new councilmen of the bus
pledge in the platform upon which
they were elected. He wondered why
none of them spoke up.
Mr.. Dietrich in reply stated that it
was the first time the bus question had
come up, and he welcomed the oppor-
tunity to take an active part in the
fight.
The matter was laid over until the

MEMORIAL DAY
IS OBSERVED
Continued from page 1

He spoke briefly of the causes OF the
war, of the call for volunteers and the
overwhelming response to it.
John R. Sharpe, county commander
from headquarters, voiced dissatisfac-
tion with the plishments of the
Cliffside Park Legion and desired to
see the members achieve more in the
near future.
Chaplain Charles Gulick of the One
Hundred and Fourth Engineers intro
duced his address with witty stories
and then impressed the necessity of
upholding our spiritual standards, to
keep active the ideals for which our
soldiers fought and died, soSthat we
shall be such a nation as shall take it's
rightful place in the world.
Mayor Cadien recalled to all the
fact of the proposed memorial and the
requirement by the borough of the
property in Edgewater Heights for its
site.
Major s. Wood McClave urged the
keeping up of recollection of what we
owe to those who have fought, and in
refutation of the saying that there
will be no more wars he read the
headlines from various papers an
nouncing the many disturbances Of
the present day. He had prepared a
film to illustrate his remarks, but
something went wrong with it in its
projection.
Mr.. Sears, president Of the Citizens
Club, dwelt on the fact of how little
we know about the achievements of
our own people, as, for instance, about
Colonel Hodkinson, until it is brought
out in some way and of the modesty
of the boys in the late war about their
honors.
Mrs. William Heaton, president of
the Cliffside Park Woman's Club, re-
ferring to the respect which we should
show to those who fought, mentioned
the efforts of the club for that reason
and its contribution to the Memorial
fund and in connection with her re-
marks about our principles and our
country closed with an appropriate

Roger Mutt, who went over and
served in France before we entered
the late war, spoke strongly of propa
ganda, of an organization which want
ed the High School for such recently
and expressed the hope that in our
memorials we would remember not
only our own soldiers, but also our
allies.
Mr.. C. E. Velsey president of the
local Board of Education, in a few
words expressed appreciation for the
day and those whom we honor.
The program was enlivened from
time to time by good and appropriate
music from the High School orchestra
and several delightful vocal selections
by Mrs. Merrick, including the prize
American war song.
The Camp Fire Girls and Boy
Scouts were present in uniform and
sold poppies.

New York. - Jimmy Marzigliano,
three years old, fell five stories from
the fire escape at his home to cement
paved court yard. His parents re-
turned from the city hospital and
smiled, as they said they had been told
his injuries consisted of scratch on
an arm and another on the nose, but at
the hospital Jimmy was reported in a
serious condition.
A network of clotheslines from the
back windows Of the tenement where
Jimmy lives, to a pole in the rear of
the courtyard, saved him from being
crushed on the pavement. He had
climbed on a box to watch ball game
In the yard.
He clutched clothesline and II
snapped, but the rope unwound through
pulley, swinging him into the railing
of the fire escape off the first floor
