Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1907-09-19


ter and cheers,
When the roll of counties was called for
nominations, Atlantic paved the way for
Katzenbaoh by conceding the floor to Mer-
Ger. That set the Trenton men wild and
Martin P. DeYlin young man jumped to
the platform and in stirring tones eloquent
~ portrayed the virtues Of Katzenbach and
reasoned him the logical candidate. Be
fore he mad spoken a minute DeYlin had
the crowd with him and with every word
he became more earnest. He declared
that this is the time for young men and he
promised that if elected Katzenbaeh would
be all that he is represented.
Bergen County through Alfred t Holly
nominated William Hughes; Camden gave
way to Union, which through James t.
Conway nominated James E MARITIME.
Essex, which had been watched as an un
certainty announced that after looking over
the situation carefully, agreed to support
Katzenbach and then the Mercer men who
had been shouting all day actually lost
what little voice they had left, with Hud-
son assured they knew that success was as
sured.
Hudson followed suit but Passaic nomi-
mated Senator John Hinchliffe, and Somer-
set presented the name of former Senator
S. S. Childs.
Hon. s. S. Swackhamer nominated Mr..
Childs and more eloquent speech was not
heard during the convention. But the tide
had already set in and the nomination was
no stronger than compliment. Peter F.
Daily Of Middlesex nominated Senator
George S. Seller, the roll of counties hay
ing been called for the votes Of delegates,
committees on vacancies and to notify the
governor were named. The convention
then adjourned for the more strenuous
labors Of which the convention had been
but the forerunner
| Mr. Katzenbach will be formally notified
next week when his speech of acceptance
will be made.

Trenton, Sept. 1.-THE Democratic
platform adopted without dissenting
voice by the State convention to-day,
reads as follows:
Virtue in State government depends
upon and is measured by the integrity
Eof its servants. The reprehensible
practices of State officials retaining
and applying public funds to their per
sonal advantage and to the detriment
Of the State, persistent and chronic
failure to discharge official duties,
commonly called "absenteeism, occu-
pying dual positions carrying double
emoluments, but involving no in
creased labors, nepotism, the constant
multiplication Of commissions to dis
charge similar public functions, the
extravaganza and wastefulness Of the
State House Commission in the con
struction Of public buildings, the nom
feasance and gross mismanagement Of
