THOSE WHO REPRESENT HUDSON

Hundreds and even thousands of Chriss
tian Endeavorers went from New Jersey
yesterday to attend the National Conven4
tion which is being held this week at
Boston. A Fall River boat had been char
tered specially for the New Jerseyites-
The Rhode Island was the boat first en-
gagged. but because of the large number
of Endeavorers who Joined the party,
the large Connecticut was chartered in
its place.
The boat was gaily decorated with flags
of all descriptions while the yellow and
white. the C. E. colors of New Jersey,
f1oated on top.
The most conspicuous thing about the
Endeavorers as they gathered at the dock
yesterday was the number of badges
with which each and every Endeavorer
had managed to adorn his or her person.
| Every where were badges, badges, badges.
Each member had in addition to the
badge of his society those of the local
| union, county State and National So
cieties. Banners were also in evidence
and the winners of the County Union
banner proudly carried them above the
heads of less fortunate members. The
boat and dock was crowded not alone
| with the passengers but with other MEM
bers of the societies For everyone who
sailed there was at least two who had
come to see him or her off and the result
was that 1t was almost impossible to
| move.
On board the boat was band which
did its best to effectually drown all con-
versation and succeeded in arousing
among the passengers by it's martial mu-
sic the proper patriotic spirit The En-
| deavorers embraced all manner and pro-
fessions of people. There was even one
new woman trying to get her bicycle put
| in safe place on the beat.
| HUDSON WE'LL REPRESENTED.
| Hudson county was particularly well
| represented. Every society had delegates
and some had as many as twenty The
Jersey City societies came singly or in
groups, as it pleased them best, but those
from out of town came in bodies, carry
ing the paraphernalia of banners, flags
and symbols.
