A BIG DAY PROMISED

Altamont Athletic Association Will Celebrate Winning of Championship of Susquehanna League by Parade Saturday Afternoon — Altamont Cornet Band Will Play for Occasion

The Altamont Athletic Association is planning a big time here on Saturday, Sept. 18 (tomorrow), when they will celebrate the winning of the Susquehanna league championship by the Altamont baseball team. The celebration will consist of a parade, with lots of noise. The latter (the noise, we mean) will be the principal feature of the celebration. The parade will be headed by the Altamont Cornet band and will start at the depot soon after the arrival of the 3 o’clock train from Albany. After marching over the principal streets of the village the procession will end at the fair grounds, where the final game of the season of 1915 will be played. The Altamont team’s opponents will be the Delmar nine.

Both Delmar and Altamont teams are expected to be in the parade. Everyone owning an automobile is invited to join the procession. The cards need not be decorated unless the owner so desires. However, it will add much to the appearance of the parade if the cars are trimmed up in some manner.

Let us make this a gala day. It is the first opportunity we have ever had of honoring a winning ball team, and we want to do it up right. If everyone will help, this will be “some” celebration.

W. J. Armstrong, president of the Susquehana league, will be present, and it is expected that the Spaulding trophy, a handsomely engraved silver-loving cup, will be presented to the Altamont Club on that occasion.

A large crowd is expected in Altamont tomorrow afternoon. The Altamont team, which is composed mostly of players from the Schenectady Commercials, will be accompanied by a numerous aggregation of Schenectady rooters, who will do their part in the celebration. Everyone is invited to come to Altamont tomorrow and help us celebrate this day.

Prospects of Republican success in the coming election are reflected in the large number seeking nominations. For nearly every office to be filled there are a dozen active candidates. — Buffalo News

There is little promise of retrenchment in government expenses under the present Democratic administration. Already, in anticipation of the meeting of Congress, heads of departments are beginning to tell how much more money they will want. When out of power the party makes all kinds of charges of extravagance. When it gets into power it proceeds to pile up the expenses. — Troy Times

Democratic writers are assigning reasons why William Sulzer is opposing Alfred E. Smith’s candidacy for Sheriff of New York. Dear old Bill has a long memory and has not forgotten that Smith, as a speaker of the Assembly, played a conspicuous part in the preparation of certain articles of impeachment. And Bill has never been particularly recognized as the possessor of a sublimely forgiving disposition. – Gloversville Leader Republican

This condition of the Government’s finances means that the administration will be compelled soon to borrow money for ordinary expenses, that is, to sell bonds. And it also means that there must be an increase of taxes. The additional taxes may be called “war taxes,” although the United States is not at war, but they should be called “deficit taxes,” and the people should realize that the necessity for them arises from Democratic mismanagement. — White Plains Record
