JERSEY CITY, Sept. 25.-The auxiliary
committee of the Democratic State Com
mittee named by State Chairman Robert
Hudspeth will meet this afternoon at the
State headquarters in the Fuller building,
Jersey City, perfect an organization and
adopt plans for the conduct of the cam
paign throughout the State.
The auxiliary committee, which is COM
posed mostly of bright young Democrats
who have done things IA the cities and
counties from which they come. will prove
a big factor in the Katzenbach campaign.
The members are for the most part those
who nave been identified with INDEPENDENT
movement within the party.
Each committeeman will be expected to
v his territory st once and secure
all the information he can about available
speakers for the campaign. He must not
only getthe name of the speaker but his
capabilities. his appearance and personal
peculiarities If he can. If he is a man
who can deal with the labor union men
that fact must be noted so that he can
be sent to the factory districts; If he Is
opposed to labor unionism. the committee
must know. so that no bad breaks will
occur. If a speaker is in favor of stringent
excise avs 1t is important to know 1t so
that he can be kept out of the counties
where the majority are for the repeal of
the Bishops law. If a man can be found
in South Jersey who favors local option
he will be used In Essex and Passaic coun-
ties. while the straight-laced men from
these counties will be chased to the tenn
perance districts.
The committee will permit no bad
breaks from the campaign speakers. A
card index system of political informa-
ton for the use Of the speakers will be
lnaugurated. Reports will be received
from each municipality of the State on
how the people stand on the excise and
other questions, and when n speaker goes
to fill an assignment he will be furnished
with information which will permit him
to give the people a talk which will ap-
peal to them. 1t is planned to have a
representative of the auxiliary commit
tee in each city. town and village, and re-
ceive from each IA weekly report on the
situation in his respective bailiwick. This
Information will be gone over at head
quarters. and help in the shape of speak
ers. literature and other needful things
will be sent to fit the needs of each COM
munity.
