President William c. Farmer, on be.
half of the meeting, thanked Mr.. Dixon
and then called upon Chairman james
Mcbride for a report of the organization
committee. Mr.. Mcbride said the com-
mittee had been holding weekly meetings
since the last public meeting. Men
had been in the various wards of the city
and townships working up the sentiment
in favor of Mr.. Heavey. They had
found encouragement, he said. every
wherein Jersey City, West! Hudson,
North Hudson, Hohoken and even in
Bayonne. The list of the organization
was complete, hut it was not deemed ad-

mer said the report would be received as
progress and supplemented the report by
saving that he had heard that Mr.. Sey-
mour had boasted that Mr.. Heayey,
though good fellow. would be surprised
at the way that he would get left at the
primaries, and he thought it would be
Mr. Seymour's turn to be surprised when

organization and | am good member
today. | have right to express my
choice of Mr.. Heavey for this nomin-
alton. If Mr.. Davis draws the line be-

then he is going beyond his leadership.
Mr.. LEXIS then told what the -ergaifi--
cation committee had been doing and
gave rosy view of the success that the
committee had met with.
Mr.. Heavev was asked to tell what
success he had met with in campaigning.

Mr.. Heavey was loudly applauded.
Considerable discussion arose as to the
holding Of future meetings. The chair
man wanted to know whether mass
meeting shall be held in the first part
of this month or the first part of next.
If | had my way I'd have a hundred
meetings said John Ward Of the First

oh. we could stand the expense said
the chairman, ''but there is a question Of
advisability in connection with holding
mass meetings in hot weather. 1t was
