WEST SIDE DEMOCRATS
Eighth Ward Turns Out to
Hear McDermott But Is
Disappointed.

The West Bergen Democratic Associa-
tion held mass meeting Saturday night
in Fraternity Hail. West Side and Will
Jams avenues 1t was expected that Al
Ian McDermott would address the meet
ing. but al the last moment word arrived
that he had been suddenly called to Hart
ford. Robert Jennings, of the West Ber-
gen Steel Works. presided. The Vice.
Presidents of the meeting were Joseph
Midgley, John J. Lynch, James F. Mad
den Warren Dixon, Charles Gebhardt
George B. Fielder, Daniel J. Smith and
Thomas Fallon. The first speaker was
A NJ Grey of Texas. He was followed
by Lawyer James Madden. who lives In
the West Bergen section of the Eighth
ward, and was, therefore, addressing
friends anG neighbors.
Mr. Madden said: II am glad to see SO
many Republicans here ! am here totell
them why we are going to support tne
Democratic ticket You only have to look
back, my friends, for three years for our
reasons. Each and every one Of you know
that the promises made by the Repuph-
can party. three years ago, have never
been kept If you vote for Elvin W.
Crane, and he is elected, he will never re-
sign to accept portfolio from any Presi-
dent, but he will serve his State until his
term of office expires. The Republicans
in power have taken advantage OF the
trust imposed upon them"
Mr. Madden reviewed a number of the
iniquitous measures which were passed
by, and the bills beneficial to the labor
ing classes and the community at large
which were killed by the Republicans. He
concluded with a, few words OF praise for
each Of the candidates.
David Barry, candidate for Freeholder.
from the Eighth ward, made short ad-
dress, in which he promised the people,
if elected, simple honesty in all those
duties which come under the administra-
tion of the F'reeholders.

ward Commissioner, said few words.
Mark Fallons spoke ON behalf of his coll
league, David Barry. Mayor Edward

for the absence of Allan McDermott and
spoke in his stead. He said-.I have
been asked to fill the place of Mr. Nc
Dermott this evening. I cannot do that
No man in this county or this State can
fill the place of Allan McDermott. I went
before the people against Mr.. McDer-
mott I had aspirations for the State
Senatorship from this county The peo-
pie preferred McDermott to me and now
the only way they. can square themselves
is to vote for McDermott. There is no
man I would do more for than Allan
McDermott" Mr.. Kenny reviewed the.
careers of the various candidates and
said uncomplimentary things about Ma
jor e. K. Pangborn-
Maurice Marks, Assemblyman Hail
and Daniel Y. Lewis also spoke The
Bergen Democratic Association attended
the meeting in a body.

The local campaign committee, today,
sent the Following document out for the
consideration of voters
ITO the voters of Jersey City,
We ask you very respectfully and very
earnestly to work and vote for the can
dates OF the Democratic party at the COM
ing election.
The election, of EIvif w. Crane means
a reduction OF our State expenditures
which have never been SO great as dur
abolition of expensive sinecures. 1t means
clean, honest, energetic administration
OF the affairs Of our State in the interests
OF the people and not OF the railroads.
The election of Foster M Voorhees,
means the ascendency in our State of lHei
influences which have made New Jersey
Pennsylvania Railroad and brings us back
TO the days when New Jersey was called
the State of the Camden and Amboy
Railroad. General Sewell. Vice-President
didate for Governor. Voorhees, If elected,
will make Sewell the absolute master of
New Jersey
(which do you want?
9TH election of William D. DAILY to Con-
gress means a vote for an honest inves-
tigation of the horrible maladministra-
tion ofsour War Department in the Span
ish War. The election of Major Pang-
born means Whitewashing investigation.
Which do you want?
The election of Allan L. McDermott to
ttic oClletlc uiCdliS lIldl Lie cause OIL Equal
Taxation will have in that body the bold
est and ablest champion. The election Of
Henry Brautigam means that this county
will have in the Senate no champion of
Equal Taxation or of anything else. Thes
voice of Hudson will not be heard on any
subject The influence of Hudson will be
nil.
(which do you want?
The election of the eleven Democratic
Assembly candidates means eleven votes
for Equal Taxation. The election of their
Republican opponents means eleven votes
against equal taxation
Which do you want?
1.-THE Democratic candidates for Boule-
ward Commissioners and for Freeholders
are all well known, highly respected, COM
petent men. Their Republican opponents
are absolute nonentitses who would never
have beeen nominated If their party had
the slightest expectation of success.
Which do you want?
We feel that we can ask you in good
faith to vote for our aomineeS, because
experienced the advantages of our Demo-
cratic municipal government within she
past eighteen months. During that period
fifty miles of streets have been paved or
Mayor Wanser's administration was done
under such specifications that but one
company could do it, has been reduced in
price from S3.75 yard under Mayor
Wanser, to s4.19 yard under Mayor Hoos

new and spacious school houses have been
erected. Ihe sewerage system has been
improved and developed 50 that the health.
of the city has greatly increased and the
comfort of Its people greatly promoted
And notwithstanding all these AN
provements the tax rate has been reduced
from oS 90 to 2S so
These arguments, we think appeal to
every man who owns property or lives

Democratic party. BY helping them you

The Soldier Vote.

There are at Camp Meade, Pa, more
than 300 Jerseymen, who, hoping they
would be sent to the front in the late
difficulty with Spain. volunteered to serve
the country. The men who volunteered
have never seen more active service than
attempting to digest raw and bad food
and to build camps. They are sore. Of
L the 800 now at Camp Meade at least 500
will vote for Crane and all the Demo-
cratic candidates. The men have been so
abused and insulted that they are heart
lily sick of Foster Voorhees, and everyone
connected with the Republican party
Had proper care been exercised at least
800, of the 900 men in camp would have
voted Democratic tickets, but when the
Republicans found that the militiamen
were against them they left no stone un-
turned to make voting arduous. When 1t
was discovered that the trend of senti-
ment was for Crane the Republicans
placed in charge of the voting arrange
ments Lieutenant Ege, an attache of the
Journal" He displayed his incompe-
tence the first day he attempted to per-
form his duties. Eye is a Republican and
the stupidity which characterized his ac-
tons may have been assumed No matter
what it was Eye has succeeded in dis
franchising between 800 and 400 men who
were anxious to vote. There was so
much red tape and so much bare-faced
fraud in the collection of ballots that the
militiamen rebelled. Those who. have
voted do not know whether the ballots
they placed in envelopes will ever reach
election boards 1t is a notorious fact
that every man who voted had to place
his ballot in an envelope, sign his name
and address on said envelope, and then,
before a Notary Public, swear that the
ballot contained therein was to register
his opinion on the issues of the campaign.
With a view to intimidating every man
who voted, his attention was called to a
notice printed on the envelope in large
type which read
"This envelope must be delivered un-
opened to the Board of Election"
The envelope is, of course, opened eby
the Board of Election, thereby disclos-
ing just how the militiamen voted. This.
method of ascertaining how the militia
men vote was adopted by the Republic
cans, and it is even limited that those
envelopes which are known to contain
Democratic ballots will never reach any
Board of Election.
Not satisfied with disfranchising 800 or
400 men at Camp Meade, Pa, the Re-
publican tricksters had large number
Of Jerseymen transferred to a camp at
Greenville, South Carolinas Advices from
that camp are to the effect that the
militiamen will be unable to vote ABB
solutely no provision was made to al
low the men to vote. OF course, COM
plant has been made, but the protests
have, fallen upon deaf ears. Could the
Greenville men vote Crane would get
fsur-ffths of those who are incarcer-
ated there.
4. The treatment the men who are away
are receiving is causing the militiamen
who are at home to work vigorously in
the interests OF Crane and all the regu-
lar Democratic nominees.
