10 The Catisens Of Neio Jersey:
AS the chairman OF the Auxiliary Demo
cratic State Committee, | am told that am
expected to make statement. As this
committee is new addition to our party
organization, word of explanation may
not be out of place. In brief, the function
of the auxiliary committee is simply as
sistant to the Democratic State Committee.
It is composed generally of younger ele-
ment in the party and will be called upon
TO do the more active work of the campaign
The scope of the committee. as outlined at
the meeting September 25th, is to estab-
lish:
i. A speakers bureau.
2 A literary bureau.
3. An information bureau.
4. A bureau of correspondence.
5. A press bureau.
s. An organization bureau.
6. financial bureau.
These various departments of the work
OF an active campaign. are be run in con-
junction with similar work done by the
state committee and are in no way to con-
fict with the work of the older body. In
short, all this is simply the systematic
ing of the campaign work and perfecting
the party organization.
If this. committee accomplishes but one
thing during the campaign, namely, inter
ests the young men in Democratic politics,
it will have more than vindicated its exist
ence 1t is the step toward injecting new
blood into our party organization and to-
ward bringing new ideas into our party eoun
clls. One class of men can not successfully
conduct campaign. To paraphrase an old
adage, we must have the party leaders for
counsel, the young men for war.
So long as I am chairman of the commit
tee, I shall endeavor to make our head
quarters the rendezvous of the young men
of the party. There is place for every
man who wants to work, every young man
who has an idea about the campaign will
be heard and if his idea is good it will be act
ed upon. Those men who have drifted away
from active politics because they felt it was
Yain to seek place at the counsel board,
Will now haye forum in which their views
will De heard and their services needed.
Many Of us watched with much interest
the rise of tue Colby movement. The prin-
ciples advocated were good, and the fight
against the bosses attracted many Of the
young men of our party TO the so-caIled re-
form standard. To-day the Colby move
ment is no more. It's organization is gone,
It's principles are in the hands of the ring,
its leaders are part and parcel of the Repub-
lican state machine.
The men who followed Colby and Pagan,
believing that they might find something
better in political life, are now landed in
the ring of Republican misruIe. If they
follow Colby and Pagan, they must fight
shoulder to shoulder with the very men
branding as corporation agents, traitors and
nnalefactors We inYife these young men
to come back to the Democratic party and
we offer them every guarantee of good faith
that a strong platform and an independent
candidate can insure.
The Colby faction did not dictate the
terms of surrender, but was not only forced
TO accept the machine candidate for govern
or and the machine platform, bat its leaders
now receiving places in the Republican or
ganization at the hands of such patriots as
Frank O. Briggs and others Of the Repub-
lican gang. What is there in this combin-
alton to attract or keep you young men
who have left the party of true Democracy?
OF thepast will say little. have always
believed in plain speaking and do not
now intend to depart from that course.
Fifteen years ago we were bereft Of power
by the votes of justly indignant people.
We were then in the same condition that
the Republican party is to-day, and say
that as we deserved to be defeated then so
do the Republicans deserve to be defeated
now. The Hahn investigation committee
has shown that the Republican organization
is honeycombed with corruption, that its
appointees are derelict in the performance
Of their duties, that an ever increasing ex-
ffavaganee has marked its each succeeding
administration, that many Of its highest
officers are but the1 hirelings Of corporate
wealth, that the power of place is being
used to build political oligarcby, that in
the management Of state institutions, mall
practice and criminal neglect have been
carried to auch an extent that 10 some in
atances il has resulted in the murder Of
