K4TZENB4CH ON EXCISE
Democratic Candidate for GoUernor
.Sags Issue Not Paramount an Jersey.

The New Jersey State Legislature VIII regu-
late the excise condition if Frank 3 hatzen
bach. jr the Democratic nominee for Governor
is elected according to the first reference he has
made 10 that subject, when addressing Demo-
cratic mass meeting at Krueger's Auditorium IN
Newark last night Mr.. Katzenbach added that
he had heretofore not mentioned the excise queS-
ton while speaking because he believed that
the issue was not paramount in this cam
paign. He also said that the excise question
should not domineer in politics.
Referring to the many references made py
Judge John Franklin Fort. the Republican nom
inee for Governor to the excise question he
said they were irrelevant. He added that II Is
more consistent to be silent on the excise ques-
ton when It should be left TO the direct repre-
sentatives of the people and that 1t really mas
nothing to do with the Governors campaign
1t should be taken up by the men who are
seeking TO be sent to the Legislature.
The meeting was presided over by Representa-
tive lie Gage Pratt, who introduced Mr.. katz-
enbach as the principal speaker Overflow meet
ings were held outside the auditorium.
