Henle' S Column

New York-This city usually gets
first whack at new motion pictures,
stage productions, ETC., but it certainly
took rear seat on Mary Pickfords
latest, Dorothy Vernon of Haddon
Hail." A number of big cities obtained
first glimpse at the picture before
New York, mainly because the time to
break into Broadway wasn't suspicious
until now.
Finally it came and it moved into
the Criterion Theatre, where "The
Covered Wagon" established it's reg
ord run.
At the opening was the usual crowd
of cinema celebrities. Richard Barth-
elmess was there So was Alma Ru-
bens. But far more interesting was the
crowd in front of the theatre watching
the picture stars leave their taxis.

of this fact. He was met by the
mayor and acquainted with the law,
pleaded ignorance of 1t and said he
would place no more on poles.

chief received word of the action of
officers in removing them. Orders

signs to remain up until after noon,
the time set for the meeting.

Here This Fall

Further proof of the interest be-
ing taken By voters in this years
presidential election. state. district.
county and local contests is found In
the registration figures for the city

more will register on Tuesday. Octo-
ber IA. the -hird and last .registra,..
ton day, boosting the total to well
beyond the 10000 mark.
The manner in which the local
voters have responded to the appear

2,714 which was about 1900 more

and this same margin was maintain

HE WINS RECOGNITION
viii Be Assigned to Legal
WorW of the State High
way Commission

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 25:-
Assemblyman Fred w. DeVoe, OF
this city, has been appointed assist
ant attorney general of the state at
a salary of $4,000 a year and mas
been assigned to the highway de-
partment to care for condemnation
matters.
This appointment, which was ex-
pected by many, was made yesterday
by Attorney General Edward Aatz-
enbach and the assignment OF Mr..
DeVoe to the highway commission Is
understood to have been made at the
request OF State Highway Commis-
sioner Abraham Jelin of this city.
It was generally expected during
the early part of the summer that
De Voc would be candidate Tor
state senator on the Democratic
ticket this year, having opposed
Senator Morgan f. Larson, Repup-
lican, three years ago for the. posi-
ton. The local man, however. de-
cided not to seek office this year and
as a result DR.. William E. Ramsay
OF Perth Amboy, was chosen to bo
the Democratic standard bearer in
the state senate contest.
De Woes appointments Is reported
have been his reward for drop
ing from the presidential conven-
Blion delegate race last spring at
which time there was a heated con-
test who should represent the
county.
DeVoe announced as early as April
of last year that he would be a can
didate for the position of delegate
from this county to the Democratic
presidential convention. He at first
refused to retire from the race last
March following the selection OF
Congressman Geran and County
Chairman Hayes as the choice of
the Democrats of this district but
finally consented to drop out in favor
of Geran and Hayes. His action fol-
lowed a conference with Governor
SiIzer after which he explained that
he retired from the race ''for the
good of party harmony" and at the
personal request of the governor fof
whose interests he was working. 1t
was generally rumored at that time
that DeVoe had been offered an ap-
pointment such as assistant attorney
general IL he would not oppose the
selection of Geran and Hayes.
In order that he might commence
his new duties with the state at
once, Devoe resigned as assembly
man yesterday and is now ready to
l, commence his new work. During
the last session Of the legislature.
DeVoe was Democratic leader of the
assembly. His compensation in his
new position will be paid by the
highway board which petitioned At
torney General Katzenbach for
some assistance III the increasing
number of condemnation proceed
ings demanding prompt action.

heading Fundamental Principles" !"
1t says:
"The constitutional guarantee of
civil, political and religious liberty to
every citizen is the very foundation
of our national policy and our ma
t.onal ideal. This guarantee cannot
be denied or impaired without being
false to American tradition, 20 Amer
lean ideals and to the very soul and
spirit of the nation. The Republican
party now, as from the beginning of
it's existence, recognizes neither color
nor creed, nor race as a test of good
citizenship or as a qualification for
any form of national service or ma
tional honor. 1t could not do this
and remain neither Republican or
American. We condemn and oppose
any organization, whether it is called
the Ku Klux Klan or by any other
name, that seeks directly or indirect
ly to weaken this fundamental
American doctrine either in letter
or in spirit. Moreover. we condemn
any candidate or party that endeav-
ors to make political capital out of
such an Issue, and. while posing as
its champion, betrays the cause of
liberty by a direct appeal to racial
and religious groups"
