JERSEY CITY, Nov. 1.-Frank s. Kat
zenbach, jr., the Democratic gubernatorial
candidate. evidently fearing an attack just
before election, assured a large gathering
here last night that there is nothing In
his professional, private or political record
that he is ashamed of. He addressed three
great mass meetings here last night, and
at all of them the crowds went wild over
his appearance. 1t was a happy climax to
equally enthusiastic receptions all through
Monmouth County during the earlier part
of the day.
Mr.. K~atzenbach got into the P~ennsylva-
mia station last night at about 8 o'clock,
and was met there by Chairman Hudspeth,
of the State Committee; James Hennessy,
chairman of the Hudson County commit
tee, and James MARITIME, of Plainfield.
John P. Dullard Joined him on the train.
The party went by automobile, first to
Phoenix Hall, then to ST. Michael's, and
wound UT, at st. Peters. The pace was a
lively one, but found the candidate in good
trim. His voice was good, and in his man.
ner there was just a touch of the tri-
umphant strain Of the man who. of a
sudden, believes he sees success just
within his grasp.
Mr.. K~atzenbach made but a single de-
~parture last night from his set speech. He
warned voters to beware of libelous at
tacks that might be made against him by
the Republican State Committee just be-
fore election, at an hour too late for his
denial to reach the people.
81 will say now" said he, that there is
nothing in my professional, private or po'
liticaI record that 1 have any reason to be
ashamed Of"
Afterward he was asked what attack he
had referred to.
az don't know what it can be-" he re-
plied. "but / learned today that the re
publican committee Is going TO spreat
some sort of a charge. L can't lmasln'
what 1t Is"
In Monmouth. where the candidate spent
the day. voters are fighting a hard battle
for supremacy, the Republicans hav1ni
held the ascendency for fifteen years. Tht
state committee this year has ASSERTED
vaguely that the county would go Demo
cratic bv 1000. The Republican machine
is not willing to admit 1t would lose le
hold The local leaders, after yesterday
tour. sized up the situation, they tnousn'
c~onservatively and felt reasonably sure o.
winning out, estimating the plurality a
from 700 to LOCO. la.
