| CAMDEN Oct. 21, 1901. Camden city
and county Democrats gave cordial greet
| ing to their candidate for Governor,
Mayor James NJ. Seymour, Saturday, and
| the Mayor seemed greatly pleased with
his reception in that Republican strong
| hold. He met hundreds Of workmen at
| their places of employment. and to one
and all his greeting was 80 plain and mat
| ter-of-fact, and yet so sincere, that the
men seemed deeply interested in the man
| and the cause he represents Indeed Il
| would appear that he had won the hearts
! of many who might otherwise have been
! indifferent. The conspicuous feature OF tlss
| Mayors trip, however, was the hearty
greeting extended to Recorder Joseph -
Nowrey, the Democratic candidate for
Mayor of Camden who accompanied him
| on the trip through the citys largest IN
dustries.
! Mayor Seymour; accompanied by Major
Haggerty Of Newark, arrived at the Penn
| eylvania Railroad terminal at 10:45 in the
morning and was met by former Judge
Howard Carrow and John A. Smith. the
members Of the State Committee; Re
corder Nowrey, Charles c. Old candidate
w 3. Donges Harry B. Paul and num-
ber of other Well-known Democrats, who
gave him warm welcome to the "enemy 2
country" Carriages were in waiting and
| the party was driven to the plant Of the
| John III. Dialogue Shipbuilding Company,
on South Front street. There it soon BET
came known who the tall gray-hairea,
iplainly-dressed and business-like man was
and the workmen pressed about him 70
shake his hand and wish him success
The Mayor had happy word for all. and
| when he told them that he served an APP
premiership in an iron works and knew
all about their work they seemed drawn
| to the unassuming man of such winning
manner One of the men in the shed
where great steel plates were being
punched for a steamship in course of con-
struction shouted to his fellows.
sCome on. boys; I'll show you good
one-and that's no lie!'
Wnen Recorder Nowrey, himself prac-
tical machinist, was recognized, the men
gathered about him and seemed reluctant
to let him go. All through the works the
candidates were well received and there
was apparent a feeling very much in their
favor From the Dialogues works sthe
