Clifside c.. O. P. Club
Celebrates Its Victory

The recent Republican victory was
celebrated last Tuesday evening by
the Cliffside Park Republican Club
with a dinner at Sauter's Hotel, Fair
view, and the celebration measured
up in every respect to the high stand
ara set by the club in all of their un-
dertakings.
The party met at the Borough Hall
and was conveyed in automobiles to
Sauter's, where a delightful chicken
dinner was served to the 200 guests.
During dinner several vaudeville num-
bers were rendered under the able di-
rection of Mr.. Ruby, late of Hudson
County. The music was furnished by
mighty good jazz orchestra. After
dinner the tables were cleared away
and dancing followed until about
1890 o'clock.
Mr. j. Fred Thompson, president OF
the club, acting as toastmaster, called
on Mayor Marini, who responded on
behalf of all of the candidates and
thanked those present for their ef-
forts during the campaign. He stated
that all the candidates shared his be-
lief that the support given by the club
was responsible for the wonderful
success of the entire ticket. The
other candidates were introduced and
to each was presented a name-en-
graved fountain pen. In recognition
of his efficient work and untiring en-
ergy as secretary, Mr.. Hintz was pre-
sented with pen amid the applause
of the gathering.
Everyone present thoroughly en-
enjoyed the evening and all agreed
the affair served as fitting climax
to the clubs strenuous activities of
the past three months.

Presidents Mastery Address

President Coolidge's mastery
address on Thursday night in New
York contained the following fine
thought on government and busi-
ness.
This time and place naturally
suggest some consideration of COM
merce in it's relation to government
and society. We are finishing a
year which can justly be said to
surpass all others in the over
whelming success of general busi-
ness. We are met not only in the
greatest American metropolis, but
in the greatest centre of population
and business that the world has
ever known. If any one wishes to
gauge the power which is repre-
sented by the genius of the Ameri-
can spirit, let him contemplate
the wonders which have been
wrought in this region in the short
space of 200 years. Not only does
it stand unequalled by any other
place on earth, but it is impossible
to conceive of any other place
where it could be equalled.
Empires of Commerce
"The foundation of this enormous
development rests upon commerce.
New York is an imperial city, but
it is not a seat of government. The
empire over which it rules is not
political, but commercial. The
great cities of the ancient world
were the seats of both government
and industrial power. The Middle
Ages furnished a few exceptions.
The great capitals of former
times were not only seats of gov
ernment but they actually gov
erned.
''In the modern world government
is inclined to be merely a tenant
of the city. Political life and in
dustrial life flow on side by side,
but practically separated from each
other. When we contemplate the
enormous power, autocratic and
uncontrolled, which would have
been created by joining the au-
thority of government with the
influence of business, we can bet
ter appreciate the wisdom of the
fathers in their wise dispensation
which made Washington the politi-
cal centre of the country and left
New York to develop into it's busi-
ness centre. They wrought might
ly for freedom"

ernoon. As the president was enter
ing the stadium an unidentified man
leaped or fell from a parapet close

coat.
The incident was scarcely noticed
in the tumultuous greeting of the
president who was only a few feet

comment or confirmation.
Mexico began its spectacular cele-

IT was reported yesterday that
i Henry Ford was negotiating for
the purchase of the Loray Cotton
Mills. in North Carolina. The mills,
among the biggest in the South, man
ufacture fabric for automobile tires.
That purchase by Ford would show
that he intends to add tire making
to other enterprises.
If Ford should introduce Henry
Ford wages among cotton mill oper-
ators, and prove that such wages
could be paid profitably, he would
interest many.
