ROUSINC RALLIES
0yations for Benny, Min
turn, 'Wittpenn and CORN
ley at Hasbrouck and
Donohue's Hall.


Two rousing Democratic meetings
were held in the Bergen section Saturday
night-one at Hasbrouck Hall and the
other at Donohue's hall, Westside avenue
and Montgomery street. The latter was
under the auspices of the Ninth Ward
Democratic Club.
Both meetings were addressed by Con-
gresham Allan Benny, who is seeking re-
election; James Il. Minturn, candidate
for State Senator; Otto Wittpen,- -candi-
date for County Supervisor; and Francis
Gormley.
Patrick O'Mara presided at the Has
brouck Hall meeting.
Congressman Benny attacked the
Roosevelt administration and discussed
national issues in general from Demo
cratic standpoint. He told also of his eff
forts in behalf of his constituents to get
bridge across Newark Bay from Bay
onne to Elizabethport and two or three
cent trolley fare over the bridge. He also
explained that if his opponent, Marshall
w. Van Wrinkle should be elected he
could not be sworn in as Congressman
before the foundation Of the new Post
Office will have been laid.
James A. Minturn made aSbrilliant ad-
dress on the subject of equal taxation,
and attacked Gubernatorial Candidate
Stokes for his bill for State Board of
Education.
Otto Wittpen made brief address, in
which he promised that if elected County
Supervisor he would perform the duties
of the Office in a manner that would be
satisfactory to all concerned. Mr.. Witt
pen was given splendid reception, and
every mention of the name of Thomas
f. Rooney, who is running for Street and
Water Commissioner, evoked volleys of
applause.
The meeting at Donohue's Hall, West
Side avenue and Montgomery street, was
an overflow one, and intense enthusiasm
was manifested. Messrs. Benny, Min
turn and Wittpen, who spoke at the Has
brouck Hall meeting, before reaching
Donohue's Hall, were given grand ova-
tions.
Both the Ninth Ward Democratic
Club and the Young Mems Regular
Ninth Ward Democratic Club marched
from their respective headquarters to
Donohue's Hall.

of the biggest will be the change in the
administration of our government II
the Democrats were as sure Of. several
other states as they are of New York,
the election would be all over but the
shouting for the Democrats. consid-
that the labor movement against Roose-
velt started in Pennsylvania will mater
tally help Parker and Davis. The Ger
manrAmerican vote will also swell the
majority considerably; we will poll a
large percentage of the negro vote; prob
ably split it, as was done by Cleveland,
the negroes think as much of Judge
Parker as they did of Cleveland. They
believe him to be the same sort of a man.
A visit to the noon-day meetings Of the
commercial travellers of New York and
other cities, will convince one of how
the business men of the country feel to-
ward Judge Parker. The Republicans
feel their own weakness this year
when they have to resort to the base lies
which they have concocted from time to
time about Judge Parker and the man
agement of the Democratic campaign"

", surrendered herself Internationally to
the Democracy Saturday night, and fair
" howled in her. enthusiasm for Charles
G. Black, candidate for Governor, and,
incidentally, for Mayor Joseph E. Now
rey, idol of the local Democrats, who is
making a stirring fight for reelection,
with fairschance of being successful.
From night faI the air was full of the
sound of music and brass bands. cheers
of marching clubs and plaudits of thous-
ands who thronged the streets. 1t was
an inspiring experience for Mr.. Black
the biggest demonstration thus far of the
campaign. The candidate addressed
TWO monster meetings one at Newton
avenue and Walnut streets, when Mr..
Black, Mr.. Nowrey and the other can
didates reviewed the parade, and the
other at SArmory Park, near the city hall,
the same place where Mr.. Black spoke
Friday night.
There were eighteen clubs in the pa
rade that was the opening feature of the
nights demonstration. They represented
every ward of Camden, and in addition
two came from Gloucester City and one
from Pine Grove. The grand marshal
was Theodore Tiedkegan. The right Of
the line was held by thesNowrey Pioneer
Corps, a snlartly uniformed organization,
made up Of fifty first Presidential voters.
Following them came the numbered ward
clubs, from the First to the Twelfth,
with the Seventh Ward Democratic As
sociation, the Americas Club and four
bands filing in. AT the left of the line
were the Gloucester and Pine Grove or
CARNATIONS.
The parade managers estimated the
number in line at close to 5000 men.
The clubs rendered to Mr.. Black a
marching salute of cheers and yells as
they fled past the reviewing stand,
which the candidate acknowledged by
bowing frequently with barred head. Mr..
Black was evidently highly pleased at
the effect of>his campaign for equal tax
alton in this County, as his face wore a
happy look and his speeches were more
than usually effective as to delivery He
was more brief than usual, however, as
he was anxious to get train home be-
fore midnight.
Mr.. Black had an opportunity of OBJ
serving how they conduct campaigns in
this city. As the marching clubs paraded
by the stand on Newton avenue. where
he first spoke,th fiaunted banners bear
portraits of Black and Nowrey. Broad
and humorous filings at the opposing pol
itieal party were numerous, One dis

DOCK
South Cove Admiral Cele-
brates Today the Ar
rival From Albany Of
His $4,000 Float
ing Structure.

Amid the footing of whistles of all
kinds of craft on the North River and
the Gap and decorated with flags of
many nations, Captain Johan Swensen's
big floating dry dock, which was foated
down the North River from Albany, en-
tered the South Cove and was anchored
alongside the Captains other dry docks.
A big crowd was present, and the Cap
tain and his big docks were applauded.
The event is being duly celebrated this
afternoon. The celebration was arrang-
ed for Saturday afternoon in case the
dock reached her berth at that time, but
considerable trouble was experienced in
towing the big structure down the river,
and it did not reach Yonkers until night
fall. Captain Smith, Of the tug Albany,
which was built on the dry dock he was
towing, did not care to risk further tow
ing at night, and lay up at Yonkers for
the night, and resumed the trip yester-
day morning.
Binder the present Democratic Street
and Water Board, before it was ousted
by the Supreme Court, Captain Swensen
was care taker of the South Cove grant,
which was won for the city after a long
legal fight. by William D. Edwards and
others. The grant is valuable acquis-
ition to the city, and will some day be
the site of piers and marts.
Specifications for series of piers were
drawn by Chief Engineer Van Keuren,
at the instance Of the Democratic cleo
tive Board, but the city did not have the
money to erect them. Captain Swenson
who had erected dry dock at the foot of
Warren street and spent about $4,000 in
dredging the creek was made tcaretaker
of the grant for a nominal rental of the
space taken up by his dry dock.
When the Pagan administration came
into power Richard NJ. Cooley volun-
teered TO pay the city $1,000 a year rent
al for the space occupied by Captain
| Swensen and offered other inducements.
Captain Swensen, who had spent so much
money in dredging the Cove became dis
y
satisfied at the trea tment he was receiv-
fling. He left his dock there but went to
Albany where he leased property and
constructed big dry dock at cost Of
$27, roo. When the Court of Errors and
Appeals ousted the Pagan Board the
Captain decided to locate his big Albany
dock down here. 1t means work for al
least fifty more men.

PEOPLE ARE WIDE AWAKE.
Question OF Equal Taxation
Has Aroused Them to
Enthusiastic Support
of the Ticket.


Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate
Black was seen by reporter yesterday
at his home;sNo. 80 Clifford place. This
is what he said about the prospects Of
the coming election
II am firmly convinced" he said
to reporter, that the people of
New Jersey are fully aroused to the i'm
portance of the issueIof equal taxation
and that they approve the stand taken
by the Democrats on the question. As
the party's standard-bearer l have been
received with hospitable arms down in
South Jersey. In all the places l have
visited have been greeted by large and
enthusiastic audiences. In Woodbury.
andBridgeton and Atlantic City the peo-
pie. whom met were particularly well
Informed on the equal taxation subject,
as found from the questions they asked.
They approved my views.
Nothing could be. more inspiring than
the reception I met with in Salem. There
the people turned out in large numbers.
They were enthusiastic, too, and full of
Democratic hopes and encouragement.
My trip through Gloucester and Camden
Counties was all that could be desired.
Last night in the City of Camden I ad-
dressed two large meetings. At the first
there were 1000 people and the the sec
ond the hall was packed to the doors.
When you remember that Camden is a
Republican stronghold, these meetings
| to my mind, mean something.
During the week just closed I have
visited hearly every hamlet in the south.
ern tier of counties and have made over
forty speeches, and have met and shaken
hands with over 10000 voters. Many
Republicans told me they would vote fol
me. Democrats in the strong Republi
can counties tell me that the party has
not been so well organized since the cleo
ton of 1892, and they are confident that
the Democratic vote will show large in
creases.
Summing up the situation, / feel thai
the prospects of Democratic success are
growing brighter every day. honestly
believe we will carry the State. All ths
indications point that way. Equal tax
alton is Democratic issue, and the peo
i pie are with us in the fight. They hav,
not forgotten the brilliant fight of tn,
Hudson County legislators at Trenton
last winter to put through the equal-tax
alton bills and the successful efforts O.
the Republicans to defeat them. Repub
licans were against equal taxation las
fall when their votes if- the Legislature
could have brought it about. Now the,
pretend to favor it. The people will no
be fooled.''
