The first gun of the political campaign
from the Democratic side in Hudson was
fred last night when the Democratic
committee resolved itself into eonven-
tion and endorsed all the candidates
nominated at the primaries on Wednes-
day night Committees to fill vacancies
were appointed.
Nearly all the candidates were present
and the convention was followed by much
speech making. Most Of these speeches
were however. in the line of thanks for
the support Of Leader Davis and the
Democratic county organization.
The receipt of cheerings news from
Newark showing that Seymour. the choice
of the Hudson Democratic organization
az gubernatorial candidate, had routed
his opponents at home added greatly to
the enthusiasm Of the gathering.
Senator Robert Hudspeth, who has
been renominated as a candidate for the
Senate. made an eloquent and inspiring
speech. He was interrupted by the APP
pearance Of Mr.. George 7. Smith, the
city organizations candidate for Mayor,

At this point the Senator was interrupt

When he continued he alluded to the
charge that Hudson had no right to med
die with Democratic affairs in Essex.
This countys attitude for years, he de-
ciared, especially In view of its llerculean
efforts in the cause of Democracy, gave it
the right to say it wanted Seymour for
Gubernatorial candidate because it be-
lieved with him it could win and without
him the party might not win.
