LOUDENSLAGER'S OPPONENT
NOMINATED.
George Pfeiffer Nominated BY the
Democrats.
The Democrats of the First Congress
siOnal District in their last two cOnven-
tiOns have learned what VIM. j. Thomp-
son desired and then did not do it. The
nomination of ex-senator George Pfeif-
fer, OF Camden, was unexpected even
to himself but the strongest that could
be made.
The Democrats of the First Congress.
siOnal District was called to order in
Salem Opera House. on Wednesday, by
Samuel Iredell, the chairman and nom.
inee Of the last convention ct 1920.
Mr.. Iredell WAS made temporary chair

ne; Permanent Organization, Jacob
House: Vice President. D. V. Summer
i'll.
When the convention met at 2 O'Clock
the temporary organization was made
permanent. There was some contention
in regards to the number Of Delegates.
The chairman had made q call for 3
delegates from each township borough
and precient. The Camden people had
elected from each township borough
and ward. Some wards in Camden
have IL precincts. The committee of
Rules reported that hereafter 5 dele
gates should be elected from eacht0nn.
ship, borough and ward, and that the
delegates as elected by the counties be
members Of this convention, which
was adopted. This cut Camden's vote
down from 258 to so.
On the call for nominations David
Peterson, Of Camden. eulOgized and
nominated JOS T. Sickler, Of Gloucester
County. while Bowman =. Cox, of
Paulsboro, nominated George Pfeiffer,
of Camden. Both declared they did
not want it and declined 10 a half heart
ed way. MI. Pfeiffer said he wanted to
stay at home and have the 5000 fradu.
lent names taken off in Camden. Mr..
Cox told him he could stay home and
do it. There was where they wanted
the work done. If Camden which adopt.
ed the unite rule had elected by pre-
cincts her 258 votes would have nomi.
mated Sickler, but being cut down to
80, Seeker got Cape Mays AZ and 9
from Gloucester county, a total of 1873.
Pfeiffer got Cumberland's SO, Salem's
81 and 81 from Gloucester. total 204.
Amid much cheering Chairman Iredell
declared George Pfeiffer nominated.
He was escorted to the platform and
accepted amid much enthusiasm, declar-
he had never run away from Republican
majorities, and would make a fight in
all the districts.
Tile platform adopted reaffirmed the
Kansas City platform and Democratic
State platform; he declared for the Re
public against the empire and ar.
raigned Congressman Loudenslager's
record.
GEORGE j. MERCER
President of the anti-Imperialist League
of Philadelphia, addressed the conven-
tion for an hour reviewing McKinley's
record on the PHILIPPINE question. He
said the Beers and Filipinos were fight
ing for the same cause rs his Dutch
ancestors fought for-Liberty and In
dependence. While he voted for Palm.
or and Buckner four years ago and still
did not agree with Mr.. Bryan on the
money question, yet if he had his time
to go over he would vote for Mr.. Bryan
who showed he had a backbone in de-
manding 16 to l in the Kansas City
platform, while Mr.. Mckinley had no
backbone and made progress like the
pOrpOiSe by turning sOmersaults.
There was an organized army of Fill
pinos which had been fighting Spain
two years before Dewey camel to Manila.
MI. Mckinley made the first criminal
aggression in December 1898, by order
ing u. s. troops to take possession of
the PHILIPPINES before the treaty was
ratified.
The Porto Rico Tariff is the first ever
imposed on commerce between parts of
the United States and that was done at
the dictation of the sugar and tobacco
trusts. During the civil war the Re.
publican party stood for human rights.
now for special privileges. The Demo.
cratic party now stands for human
rights. The IL amendment prohibits
slavery but Mr.. Mckinley had a treaty
made with the Sultan of Sulu which not
only recognizes slavery and p0lygamy
but takes money out OF the u. s. treas
ury to pay to maintain the blots of in
fanny. This treaty should be enough
to turn the Republicans out of power.
It is patriotism to haul down the flag
anywhere when it flies in infamy.
Roosevelt says the purchase Of the
PHILIPPINES was like the purchase of
Louisiana. It is not so. The Louisiana
purchase the Florida purchase and the
Mexican purchase contained agreements
that they were to he formed into states
but the purchase Of the PHILIPPINES does
not. That makes subject colonies like
ancient Rome held. Roosevelt compares
the Filipinos to the Indians, It is not
analogous because the FilipinOs are
civilized and have a government.
Granted that it is an apt comparison.
Our treatment of the Indian has been a
century of dish0nor. Why should we
continue this dishonor.
The republican party Is for privileges
and trusts. The miners answer the plea of
the full dinner pail. The Democratic
party is getting back to the first princi-
pies Of human rights against the dollar,
for the republic against Imperialism,
and just so sure as Mr.. Bryan failed to
be sent to oblivion by the defeat of
1896, so sure will he continue to be
leader OF human rights and liberty sven
If defeated in 1900.
