There Is some dissatisfaction amongst
the members the Democratic County
Committee, caused by the deposition of
P. 81. O'Neill as chairman of the Com
mittee on Organization giving place to
Mr. James E. Connolly. Mr.. Connolly is
popular young democrat, but Mr.. O'Neill
has held the position for the past ten years.
and his friends are sorry to see any
change. The Committee on Organization
Is the most important, sub-com mittee,
and requires a man of experience and an
all around hustler to accomplish sue
cessful results. One of the members of
the Committee in speaking of Mr. O'Neill's Is
retirement in favor of Mr.. Connolly
said James Connolly is all right. He is
a worker, but rs chairman of the Com
mittee on Organization be is too young
to exercise control over the older mem
bers. I knew that his appointment
would cause dissatisfaction
when p. H. O'Neill was made chair
man of the committee he organized pre-
cincJ clubs and TO my own knowledge
had from ten to thirty workers IN every
precinct. Democratic successes followed
each other in rapid succession. Demo.
cratic power became absolute and then
vigilance was relaxed. For several wears

nothing. Now when work Is needed

meeting of the club, and the Entertain
ment Committee. acting upon the sugges-
tion, arranged for the holding OF Satur-
day Nights during the coming winter
mouths. The committee in charge has
secured the very best talent obtainable.
and Carteret's Saturday Nights promise
to be jolly affairs.
Last Saturday night an unusually
large number of the members appeared
at the clun house. anticipating some
amusement by professional talent. Some
thing occurred. however, which is at
present unexplained. to prevent the pro-
fessienal talent from materializing. In
It's absence, Messrs William Vindal.
Louis Dressler, Frank Molten and W
f. Brown furnished an entertainment.
The home talent apparently pleased the
members as we'll as the professionals
would have done.
The annual election of officers of the
New Jersey Club will take place on
Thursday evening There is very little
prospects of there being any change.
Elaborate arrangements have been made
for proper celebration of the event.
