! The date of this birth was November
-. 1858, making Mr. Katzenbach thirty
nine years of age. and If he is elected
! he will have a birthday present that
/ r. Jerseyman heretofore enjoyed, for
'ction this year will come on Novem-
II 5, the anniversary of the birth OF
he democratic candidate.
The candidate was graduated from
the State Model school in 1885. and four
years later was graduated from Prince
| ton University. Then he studied law at
the Columbia Law School and later in
the office of James Buchanan. noted as
one of the leading lawyers in Mercer
county. Since having been admitted to
the bar he has built up a large law
practice and is regarded as one of the
most successful of the younger lawyers
in the central section of the state.
Phe political game is not at all new
to Mr.. katZenbach for he has been ac-'
tive in that line since 1898. In that
year he was elected alderman at-large
of Trenton under law which created
that office. few months later the law
was declared unconstitutional. Com
mon council was republican but Katz-
| enbach had made a fair pl asiding officer.
and he was retained in tire office two
years, his full term. ~
| The first time Mr. Katzenbach ran
for mayor was in 1891. Franklin MUIR
ply ran for governor the same year.
| Frank O. Briggs, now United States
senator, had been mayor of Trenton and
was a candidate for reelection. MUIR
ply carried Trenton by something over
1000 for governor. but katzenbach de-
feated Briggs by 23S votes. In 1908
Katzenbach was reelected for mayotl
In that year his republican orpp4U
was James Buchanan, his formeDGI-15S
ceptor in law. His pluralitzfp4Ef1
4 was ASP. # 1S1
As mayor Katzenbach made q record
for two things-vetoes and speechmak-
ing. His speeches were of the popular
brand and were mostly made before
the many conventions that meet in
Trenton annually. He is a good story
teller, and is ever ready with an apt
anecdote with which to clinch an argu-
