BERGEN DEMOCRATS
Favorably Dis posed To-
Awards the Nominatian of
HelIltze and Bolt
wood.
DAN. LEWIS HAS DIRECTIONS
But He Will Loyalty Support Any
Ticket Named at the
Primaries.

The Bergen Democratic Association
met last evening in the rooms at Monti-
cello avenue and Brinkerhoff street. The
resignation of Mr.. Daniel E. Shine as
secretary caused by stress of fkprivate bus
mess. was received Mr. Shine regretted
the necessity of his resignation and de-
clared that he would work for the asso-
citation and the party. The resignation
was accepted reluctantly and Mr. George
II Perrine appointed to fill the vacancy.
Financial Secretary Gable reported the
turning over to the treasurer of further
lnstalment OF $50 from the recent enter
tainment.
Mr.. Daniel Y. Lewis made speech in
opposition to the action of the Commit
day night, although he. said he had the
highest regard for ths two gentlemen
named as candidates. MIR. Heintze and
or II HsW99d sady tba and q no one would dc
at the primaries. What he did object to
was an attempt being made to anticipate
the. wishes of the Democratic voters by
giving any candidates an antecedent ad-
vantage.
Mr.. F. H. Spengemann explained that
the action Of the Committee ofsone Hum
dred and Fifty committed no one and
was intended merely as suggestion to
voters.
Mr.. James Luby gave sketch of the
proceedings of the committee He showed
that the choice which had been made of
two men out of dozen nominees had
been purely spontaneous and the result
OF no concert or previous organization.
The choice represented tine best judg-
ment of a majority or those present on
Tuesday night. The meeting. ne said, had
been I a. represen tative one enbra cling
Democrats of all sections of the city, all
elements in the community and all phases
OF opinion including not q. few who had
for years been hostile to the party ma
chine.
Mr.. Daniel E. Smith expressed conf
dence in the action Of the Committee of
One Hundred and Fifty He could see
nothing suggestive of dfctation in it. 1t
seemed to him perfectly proper that a
hundred and fifty leading men of the
party should offer their advice TO voters.
Speeches in similar strain were made
by Mr.. Bernard McNally and other mem
bers of the associa tion.
The discussion was informal in nature
and no definite action was taken, but the
sentiment of the meeting was strongly
favorable to the choice of Mr.. Heintze
and Colonel Boltwood as the Democratic
candidates

ADYBOD7'S NOMINATION
Republicans However Say Com

Leaders of the Republican party in Jer-

Captain William H Hooker and Com

Street and Water Commissioners; that is
to say, they are to be chosen if Repub-
lican votes can accomplish it to succeed
themselves. They were elected for the
one-year term; now if elected they will
serve three years.

to Captain Hooke1ss nomination at a pri77
