o'clock last evening when the doors
were locked and even then there

ROBERTS LOSES NOMINATION

The defeat of William H. Roberts
for Freeholder in Bergen on Tuesday
was one of the most signal triumphs
of perfidy ever recorded in the coun-
ty. He had always made a corking
good business member of the board
and his abilities were generally rec
ognized not only as stable, but as
strong. 1t occurred, however, to GER
tain envious persons with greater
spite than judgment, that it would be
a good time to look into some of the
things connected with candidates that
were really nobody's business. To
this end a QUESTIONABLE was sent
broadcast that candidates were asked
to answer AS unusual as was this
nonsensical procedure, it was just ex-
actly the effect that many of the best
men and women in Bergen feared it
would-react against. 1t really was
the old glass house story over again,
and those busy-bodies who sought to
jnjure a very decent man succeeded.
Mr.. Roberts is to be congratulated,
however, that he polled so substantial
a vote, and it is to be hoped that this
silly practice will not be brought out
again.
Palisadian., 1924-09-26
Woman Purifying Politics

Kean appears to have a consider
able following in Ridgewood, and
those who are most prominent in his
interest are making an especially
strong ampaign-fearless and un-
ashamed-on the line of "all is fair in
politics" With many of them nothing
should stand in the way of success.
If it is deemed essential to slaughter
character, cut it down; if truth stands
in the way, so much the worse for
truth-behead it, That one who can
create the greatest CONSERVATION in
the ranks of the opposition shall stand
most conspicuously before the lead
ers. Thus William H. Moore, secre-
mittee, is on the list for defeat be-
cause his conduct has not been in ac-
cord with the Blue Ribbon tenets. Mrs
Francisco, woman county vice-chair
man, has had her door marked for the
grim guillotine. To this vice-chairman-
ship may be added ambition to sit be-
side the county chairman and be ele-
waited to a greater dignity. Although
the present indications in that town
favor Kean against Edge, the latter
has recently shown decidedly more
gratifying standing, and it is evident
that he will make fine showing at
the polls on Tuesday next.
The followers of Mrs. Feickert have
been losing ground during the past
month. and they injured their cause at
a meeting of the unit ON Monday eve.
ming, when Mrs. Stockton, presiding,
made an assault upon the personal
character of Freeholder William H.
Roberts. The different candidates had
been invited to this meeting and asked
to answer certain questions similar to
those put to them at recent Hacken-
sack meeting regarding party pledges
and voting on certain bills in the last
Legislature.
The matter seemed to have been
staged for especial dramatic effect on
Monday. After the other candidates
had been put through the inquisition
Mrs. Stockton took up the case of
Freeholder Roberts and quizzed him
as to passages in his marital life of
years ago. This was a dainty tid-bit
for al-mongers, although it was
matter of ancient date and had no
place in a public meeting Freeholdar
Roberts was invited to this meeting

VENICE THREATENED

Poe once lamented that science was
stealing all the poetry and beauty
from life. He should be living now to
moan the fact that industry is about
TO extract from the one unique city of
Europe-Venice, of course-all that
has made her the lure of traveller, the
theme of song, the subject of painter,
for many generations past.
The latest tidings in this regard is
that all the gondolas of Venice are to
be motorized, the city having already
signed a contract with an electric
company which in 20 months will have
a motor installed in every Venetian
gondola. No longer will gondolas slip
through the streets, to the splash of
oars and occasionally to the chant of
a gondolier's voice, trained in the
home of purest bel canto.
Royal Cortissoz, the art critic, in a
recent article in Scribner's, before
this latest news was cabled over, la
mented that the promoters were try
ing to ruin the Queen of the Adriatic
They are trying, he said, to erect new
buildings cheek by jowl with famous
monuments. They are selling steam
boats and motorboats. They are pro
noting the improvement of the lagoon
shore, so as to enable people to rals'
potatoes and cabbages thereon. 9th
ers seek, according to recent protests
in Revista d'Italia, to join Venice t
the mainland by a great bridge fo
