OUT PROGRAMMES FOR THE
ENTERTAINMENT OF MEMBERS
AND GUESTS OF EACH oRGANI-
ZATIoN.

Almost everyone interested in politics
is looking forward TO the coming outings
of the Davis Dickinson and Pagan As-
sociations. That of the Pagan AsSocia-
tion will take place first. The members
will go to Witzers Point View Grove on
August 81, and two days later, August
30, the Dickinsons will hold their pow
WOW at the same place. After the two
factions of the Republican party have
made their states the Robert Davis AS
scociation, more solid than ever, viii on
September 3 go to Donnelly's Grove, Col
lege Point. and make theirs.
That all these organizations will make
a fine showing in point of numbers in
the morning and night parades goes
without saying. The committees in
charge of each affair are hustling like
beavers to this end; but nothing is being
left undone to provide for the comfort
and entertainment of the patrons of each.
While such outings are fraught with po-
Iitical consequences, as the city and
county states are usually made up on
these occasions, every attraction in the
line of athletic events, music, vocal and
instrumental to say nothing of refresh
ments, solid, substantial and otherwise,
will characterize all three.
The Davis outing will, of course, be
the biggest event OF late years their
outings have assumed somewhat the as
pect of a State Democratic affair. promi-
nent Democrats from all over the State
at least showing up at the grove. This
year there will be 6,000 men in the pa
rade. 1t being generally conceded that
this is a Democratic year there will be
a larger number of State politicians in
attendance than on the last several out
5ngs.
The Faganites claim that they will
have $500 men in line. The committee
is at present meeting every Wednesday
night at the Bergen Republican club. but
viii open headquarters in Humboldt Hall
on August II.

The committee in charge of the Dick
inson outing reports that the sale of
tickets thus far has exceeded that for any
previous outing of the association, and
that it will make larger and finer show
ing than ever Distinguished State and
national Republicans will be in attend
ance at the grove President Roosevelt,
who is at his summer home at Oyster
Bay, has been invited to attend, and the
committee is hopeful that he will accept
the invitation. Governor Stokes and

be present as guests of the association
