COLLEGE POINT, Sept. ., 1906
.'There will be no politics today ms
was what Robert Davis said as the TWO
steamers bearing the flower of Hud-
sons Democracy pulled away from their
moorings in Jersey City bound for this
place. He might just as well have sald
there wouldn't be any beer drinking or
card playing. No politics on Davis
outing, Perish the thought. Just
imagine 5000 or 5000 Democrats, and
Hudson County Democrats at that,
thrown together for several hours and no
politics Why, there was nothing else
but politics from the time the steamers
left until they We're fastened to the per
in this Long Island pleasure resort.
You could scarcely move without but
ting into a political discussion, and there
were enough booms launched to keep the
party leaders busy until next years out
ing. There We're several men who want
to serve Jersey City as Mayor. They
are not particular whether they are call
ed next year, the year after, or the year
after that. They were willing to watch
and wait.
AS a result of the many conferences
and discussions, it developed that the
Democratic party is getting together
again and that with the right kind OF
men for candidates Jersey City and Hud-
son County, and possibly the State will
be redeemed within the next two years.
Charles c.. Black, it was agreed,
should make another effort to land the
Goyernorship. He was regarded as the
logical candidate, and unless there is
change of sentiment Hudson County's
apostal of equal taxation will be on the
firing line again next year.
There was some shrewd observers
who thought Archibald NJ. Henry should
have another fling at the Mayoralty;
others looked upon former Mayor Hoos
as a winning candidate, and there were
quite a few who thought Jim Fielder
would be the man to do the trick. Out
of all the talk, however, County Super
visor H. Otto Wittpenn loomed up as the
most formidable candidate, and on all
man, because of his brilliant record in
his present office, to make the fight
against Faganism, In the meantime,
Mr.. Wittpenn will be renominated for
Supervisor.
North Hudson Democrats tried hard to
make friends for Mayor Nolan, of West
Hoboken, who wants the nomination for
Surrogate, but they did not meet with
much success. John p Egan, the popu-
lar clerk % fthe Board of Freeholders,
will have no difficulty winning out at the
primaries, judging from the friendly man
ner in which his candidacy was received.
No matter where he went he was hailed
as the next Surrogate.
Eugene Leake and Carl Schumann
were quietly doomed for the Congression-
al nomination in the Ninth District, and
while it was admitted that either would
make a strong candidate, the opinion was
universal that the nomination should be
rendered 10 Eugene Kinkead. Despite
the big Republican majority that Dem
ocratic candidate is confronted with in
this district, Kinkead's friends were con-
it. Mr. Kinkead made no effort to fur
ther his candidacy. He let it be known
that he was not seeking the nomination.
This did not prevent his advocates
from etoxlling his vurtues and vote get
ting qualities and his refusal will be
