The Need Of Party Organisation.

When Robert Davis talks politics, he is
pretty apt to hit the nail on the head. AT
the caucus of the Democratic Assembly
men at the Hotel Washington, last even
ing, he made some rafting remarks about
the need of Democratic organization
throughout the State. He urged that the
party be brought into working shape in
all the counties and he demanded that
the State Committee at once give atten-
tion to the work.
This is the need Of the hour-organiza-
fion throughout the State. If we had had
it, Elvin w. Crane would be ~inaugurateu
as Governor on Tuesday week instead of
Foster M. Voorhees,. We need new and
active organization in every county ex-
cept HUDSON, and we need it in Essex
most Of all. There is no conceivable rea-
son why Essex should not be Democratic
If the vote were educated and brought out.
It can only be m~arshalled by perfect or
eanization-
Nobody is better qualified to speak on
the subject of party organization than
Robert Davis. The extraordinary sue
cess of his, work in Hudson is the best
proof of his ability. He may nav his
faults, as our Republican friends are fond
of pointing out, but he is an organizer and
a leader. and nobody can galnsay his
quality. If the State Committee wishes to
