DEMOCRATS HAD TWO
OVERFLOW MEETINGS.
Charles P. GilIen Says Republicans Are
Advertising for Money with
Which to Corrupt Voters.

Two Democratic overflow meetings were
held, one in Belmont avenue in front of
the clubhouse OF the Gottfried Kruger
Association, and the other in Morton street
on the south side OF Kruger Auditorium.
Fully 1000 men who could not get into the
crowded Auditorium, after the Sixth Ward
Democrats went in, went home about 8
O'Clock. More than 1000 remained on the
sidewalks. so anxious were the people to
see Mr.. Katzenbach. Upward of 200
women waited until near 10 o'clock in the
hope of seeing him, but nearly all were
disappointed.
AS the automobile containing Mr.. Katzen-
bach and his party came down Spring
field avenue and turned into Belmont ave-
nue.. the head Of the procession Of First,
Second, Fourth and Tenth Ward clubs
came up Springfield avenue to Belmont
avenue also.
Mr.. K~atzenbach alsshted at the Kruger
clubhouse. and the people rushed there
from all points. He turned at the top OF
the high stoop and bowed. and the crowd
gave three cheers. The paraders evidently
did not know he had been in the automo-
bile. for the procession went to the front
Of the Auditorium. After hearing that the
hall was packed to the entrance the crowd
gazed at the top of the bandstand DYER the
sidewalk. expecting that Mr.. Katzenbach
would appear there so they could see him.
Meantime Charles p. Gfllen. OF the
Fourth Ward, organized an overflow meet
ing In front of the Kruger Clubhouse,
and the people rushed there. He spoke
from the top Of the high stoop and was
vigorously cheered.
Every available space in the Audi
torium is packed said Mr.. Gillen, ''and
in order that the thousands of people
who nave been unable to get into the hall
may not 20 home without hearing some
OF the campaign issues discussed we nave
inaugurated these overflow meetings.
This remarkable outpouring of citizens
the greatest political gathering in this
city IN many yenrs-clearly indicates to
the mind OF any unprejudiced man that
the Democratic star is in the ascendency.
1.-THE sight of those great Democratic
gatherings throughout the State has driven
the Republican party to desperation, and
now we have Ex-Governor Murphy, acting
as chairman OF the Republican State Com
mittee, advertising for funds with which
to carry the election. In his advertise
ment Mr.. Murphy i~nsiuuates hat there are
other uses for money outside of the small
amount required for legitimate expenses;
what does he mean?
HE simply means thai the Republican
party, seeing tine tide Y ing, wants inn
mense sums Of money W. which to pur-
chase the votes of the peorle Of New Jer-
sey.
III the Republicans had alrshe money in
the State at their command they could not
buy this election, because the rights OF
the people have been trampled upon and
New Jersey is going Democratic by an
overwhelming majority.
What an awful spectacle It is to see
the once honOred Governor of this State
advertising in Il newspaper for contribu-
lions 10 a fund with which to purchase
the votes of our citizens. We know that
the Republicans rave been buying elections
in this State for many years past. but this
is the first time they have advertised IL
"one word about our candidate for Gov
