1906. He moved to West Hoboken in
1903 and in 1910 he married Miss
Elizabeth Johnston of New York.
The first thing that Judge Agnew
did after he was married was to look
around for an ideal place to build his
love nest and after looking over the
ground very thoroughly he decided
that Cliffside Park was the ideal place
to live with it's suburban atmosphere
of lawns, flowers, trees and shrubbery,
and yet within easy walking distance
of the New York ferries.

him to the Assembly of the New Jer-

cold MEDAL FOR SENATOR MACKAY
|ATTESTIMON|AL DINNER WEDNESDAY;
COUNTY DOES HIM SIGNAL HONOR
Brilliant Men of Both Political Parties Pay Fine Tribute
the Father of the Hudson River Bridge Bill at a
Double Dinner Which Has No Precedent in the Politi-
cal History of Bergen County.

Senator William B. Mackay has i
right to have his head turned.
But it will take a lot more than
the magnificent testimonial rendered
him last Wednesday night by the
Mackay Bridge Association members
and their guests to do it.
The dinner was at the Swiss Chalet,
and an overflow dinner was served
at the same time at the Hackensack
Golf Club, made necessary by the 500
who attended.
The best talent in Bergen county
was on hand, and the best of good
fellowship prevailed. At the dinner
Senator Mackay was hailed as the
father of the bridge, an honor he rich
ly deserved. He has never had A
desire to pose, but his friends made
him do it this time, for they said
enough complimentary things to his
face Wednesday night to make even
a timid man blush. He admitted that
others had had the bridge bug before
him, but the fact was impressed al
the dinner that no single man had
ever been possessed of the kind OF
leadership that made Hudson bsidge
even look probable, let alone possible,
and now certainty. AS before said
the present success of the Mackay
bridge plans came about through his
personal abilities and his unques
toned leadership, without which the
bridge would still be fioundering along
with promises it's only asset. Sena
tor Mackay. admitted that the late
Major McClave had long laid the Hud
son bridge close to his heart, and said
that much of his inspiration had come
from the gallant Major McClavea But
ater all is said and done, the dinner
awakened new thought ON Senator
Mackay. He was brought out into
the limelight as sincere politician,
and those who said it meant every

Mayor Whites
Attention Called
To Palisade Roads

Attention, Mayor White!
Palisade is an important section of
the borough.
1t gets little or no attention on its
streets.
At the present time the streets in
Palisade are in simply frightful, in
excusable condition.
In proof we offer Columbia avenue
in rotten state.
Cumbermede road-in a rutty, full
of-holes condition throughout Abbott
boulevard-a disgrace to any commu-
nifty. Bride way-fuli of holes.
Dearborn road-a humiliating spec
tacle.
Bluff road-oh, we'll, what's the
use? They're all alike.
AS the head of our local govern
ment, why don't you direct your
street committee to do a little some
thing for us?
Don't send down a lot of lazy incom-
petents to put in handful of gravel
and small, broken stone, for this ma
terial soon gets jostled out and we
soon again have the holes.
And listen, Mayor White, the only
thing to last in hole in the road is
concrete-easily made and desirable
for patches.
And just one other thought; Fill in,
do, PLEASE, the holes in Whiteman
street, Fort Lee.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted as a necessity, and it isn't neces-
sary to put in bids for the job. Half
a dozen men of ordinary sense and
skill can repair Palisades roads in a
very few days. And don't forget to
tell your men that Columbia avenue
has had several tons of broken stone
put ON it recently Qast year, and
auto tires simply smashed it all to the
side of the road and it wasn't worth a
darn.

word of it. There was nothing but
Mackay sentiment at the dinner. He
must have blushed to the roots Of his
hair many times, for, when the log
got to rolling, the compliments came
in showers and avalanches. The best
minds of Bergen, Hudson and other
New Jersey counties were present,
and they literally fell over each other
getting out of their systems what they
bridge builder 1t was made clear,
also, that one thing alone made the
Hudson bridge possible at this time,
and that was the leadership of a man
like Senator Mackay-a doer of deeds.
whose personality inspired form of
confidence seldom seen in an enter
prise of this character. In all of his
efforts, there never developed a sug-
gestion of opposition that could ma
terialize. and in this lies the secret of
the Senator Dependability of serv-
ice has been his watchword, and his
political opponents stuck to him like
his own party friends. That's how
built the bridge. OF course, it is not
up yet, but it might as we'll be, for
the layout is all ready for the starting
whistle.
At the dinner were the most repre-
sentative men of the county and state.
Hon. Tom Martin, one of the leading
Democrats of New Jersey, was there
| and made a most felicitous speech.
Senator Mackay was presented with
a gold medallion, bearing a replica of
the bridge and each diner was given
a replica of the gold medallion in
bronze as souvenir
Among those who spoke in glowing
terms of Senator Mackay were Ex-
Judge John B. Zabriskie, Mrs. Chas.
S. Conklin, State Secretary Thomas
F. Martin, Assemblyman Ralph w.
Chandless and Senator Alexander

Masquerade Party at
Home of Charles Smith

The Sunshine Club closed its social
season with a masquerade party at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Smith, of Wayne avenue, Grantwood.
Costumes were both dress and coml-
cal. Dancing took up the major part
of the evening, with solos on the
piano by Mrs. Arthur Reichel and
vocal by Charles Smith and Arthur
Miller. Prize games were also en-
ioyed. The hostess rendered sump-
tuous spread at midnight. The party
terminated at late hour, with every
thing pointing to more successful
season in the coming fall and winter.
The house was decorated with daffo-
dis and 'narcissus. Besides the host
and hostess were present.: DR.. and

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Reichel, Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Miller, of Grantwood

A lengthy discussion regarding the
number of polling places ensued. Mrs.
Banville felt that inasmuch as four
polling places were not to be desig-
mated two would be sufficient. Tile
naming of the high school in addition
to the two other schools gives Grant
wood two polling places and Cliffside
but one and Mrs. Banville thought
this rather unjust to the voters in the
lower end of the Borough.
President Goemann felt that if the
ing place a petition asking for an ad-
ditional polling place would be clrcu-
lated. This. he said, would delay the
election thirty days.
On a motion made by Mr.. Mahoney
the three schools were designated
and the only dissenting vote was tnat
of Mrs. Banville.
A suggestion was made by Mr.. Gep-
hardt to have the resolution relatlng
to the purchase of land in HUDSON
Heights give the exact amount IN
stead of reading mot to exceed SZo'-
OOO" He also suggested that the en-
fire matter of the election be laid
over until the newly appointed mem
bers take their seats at the next reg
ular meeting.
An application from the Grantwooo
Auxiliary of the Holy Name Hospital
in Teaneck for use of room IN the
Grantwood school on the first and
third Thursdays of each month from
3 to 5 o'clock was granted.

He says as the matter stands If the
voters authorize the expenditure OF

prevent the owners from asking that
much for it. On the other hand, II
the board had an option or an under
standing Of what the actual purchase
price is to be beforehand the voters

States Position; Will
Not Withdraw

Ocean City, N. J., April 21.-Judge
Cornelius Doremus, Republican can
didate for the nomination for COVER
nor, made tour yesterday afternoon
of Atlantic and Cape May counties
which he brought to a successful con-
clusion at large meeting last night
before the Patriotic Order Sons of
America in Red Mems Hall at Sth
and Haven avenues, presided over by
Neil L. Jameson, state president.
The Judges speech was non-political.
He chose as his subject Patriotism
and Citizenship and the Duty of a
Citizen to His Country"
The Judge was queried on several
occasions as to how he felt about
Withdrawing from the gubernatorial
race as a result of Judge Carey's re-
cent request for conference to cause
the withdrawal of one or more of the
candidates in the interest of party
harmony. In each caste the Judge,
who is one of the three announced
gubernatorial aspirants, said:
Il made public announcement three
months ago-long before either of my
competitors entered the field-and
gave out my platform. 1 see no rea.
son for my withdrawal and shall re-
main in the race to the finish. l am
sure the other candidates and party
leaders will do as l propose to do,
and that is Loyalty support the victor
in the primary contest if one of my
competitors is chosen by the people.
We shall have party harmony, and
the rank and file of the party will
do such good work that We shall be
assured of the election of Republi-
can governor. This is a Republican
state and I predict large majority
at the November election for our
party"

Not to Run
For Mayor in Boro

principal, was offered the Democratic

the honor because of the pressure of

Collector, at first refused, but since
changed his mind and will be a can

l have never before offered myself
in a political contest, and as far as

Ii am a rock-ribbed Republican,
yet 1 do not consider partisan politics
a proper thing in local government,
where the greatest good for the mas
ses should be undertaken regardless
of party.

on any subject But l do pledge my
self for truth and fairness.
3-If elected l promise to vote for
those measures only that mean COM
mon justice to the taxpayers.
Al disfavor any favoritism in the
letting of contracts for public improve
ments, and would personally help to
rout out all attempts to allow any
