COLLEGE POINT. L. l., Sept. 8, 1901
The boom of all booms launched today at
the outing was that which Colonel Ed
ward L. Price of Newark set in motion
chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee to succeed William B. Gourley.
Colonel Price said
This is the greatest outing have ever
seen on and the first of the Robert Davis
Association I have ever attended. now
see that I have missed the greatest politi-
cal demonstrations of the past by not be-
ing with Hudson's party on the outings.
1t is the biggest affair the State has ever
seen and shows that the strength of New
Jerseys Democracy is in Hudson. If the
present lines are maintained there can
be but one, the only logical result-the
selection of Mr. Robert Davis as Chair
The great magnetism of Mr.. Davis was
never better shown and it proves beyond
a doubt that he is the first man in the
party today
Mayor Seymour of Newark was among
the happiest and most radiant of the
party. He is the choice for Governor
and all day long his hand was grasped
and shaken by the enthusiasts who pre-
dicted a sure election for him by a great
majority. Mr.. Seymour said
81 am greatly surprised and pleased
with the mammoth showing made"
How about your candidacy for Cover
nor?" Mayor Seymour was asked.
81 do not care to discuss that matter
just at this time. I have not made any
strenuous efforts to secure the nomina-
ton, and what has been done has been
done without any solicitation on my part.
But you may be sure that if 1 am
nominated shall put a winning fight and
will be the next Governor
Mr. Davis with his usual modesty said:-
1.-THE outing is up to my expectations
and am happy
Mayor seymour LAS Sdlheu maj fSAcuS
strength. On all sides he was saluted as
governor and to the younger element
the older campaigners pointed him out
with the remark
There's the next Governor of New Jer-
eey. my boy, and don't forget it"
John Zeller and Mayor Seymour of Bay
onne now have the battle for the nomina-
ton for Sheriff of Hudson County to
themselves. All other names were drop
ped and these two alone were heard. Mr.
Zeller seems to have the best of 1t be-
cause he is supported by all those who
have taken up the matter except the Bay
onne contingent and they stand to a man
for Seymour. Both the gentlemen are
modest. They were not inclined to adj
nit to a News reporter that they were
in the hunt, but their friends say they
are and that they are there to stay. A
close study by one of the best political
slarps aboard, who insists his name shall
not be used, moved him to this conclu-
sion:.'Mr zeller has cinch in the nom-
niation FOR sheriff Mayor seymour's
friends are enthusiastic, but our Gutten-
