Gloucester County Democrat., 1906-10-11

the State OF New Jersey or Of the nation,
and in no county Of New Jersey is the
agricultural industry pursued with more
intelligence than here in Gloucester county.
For this happy condition Of our greatest
productive industry, the Grange has been a
mighty contributor. That the Grange has
attained to the degree of influence it has in
this county has been due to unselfsh devo-
tion Of number Of intelligent men and
women, and among this number Theodore
Brown has always been found.
Mr. Carpenter said he was not sure the
Democratic party was free from censure in
not giving greater degree Of recognition
to this great organization, but if it was
now was the opportunity to make some
amends. He therefore presented the name
of THEODORE Brown for consideration as the
party's candidate for the legislature.

applause, and after the roll-call was con-
cluded, the nomination was affirmed by
