| ing News said:-
Should Mr.. McAdoo accept the nonin-
alton he will be elected. 1 am personally

strong man." he said.
Mr. John r. Henchy of the Hoboken
Evening News said
'eMr. McAdoo would undoubtedly be
one of the strongest men the Democrats
of Hudson county could nominate for Con-
gress. His public record is splendid
one-brilliant, wise and productive of ex-
| ceIlent results for the countys benefit.
While on the Naval Committee he did
more for the United States Navy than any
man in the country. His ambition was
to place the United States Navy on an
! equal footing with that of England and
| France and he almost succeeded. Had
Mr.. McAdoo not been such a thoroughly
conscientious man during his term in
| Congress he would not be a compara-
| lively poor man today. He has earned
the name of Honest William McAdoo.'"

give him all the support 1 cam

! Adoo off their ballot.
MINTURN, TOO.
Corporation Attoreny James B. Min
| turn said
''There is not a stronger man in the
county. 1 do not think any other Demo-
crat would win but McAdeo. Such man
| is of incalculable advantage to the party.
Defeat would be impossible. He is the
only Democrat that could safely run"
Chief of Police Donovan thought McAdoo
wonld be the only man. The Republic
cans would be knocked skyhigh, he
thought, if McAdoo ran.
