his party and enjoyed a long walk
along the county roadway, returning to
his z o'clock breakfast with a hearty
appetite.
At s o'clock the party left the Gross
cup residence in four automobiles, two
of the machines containing an escort
which led the way to the Foss Brass
Works in Williamstown, where Mr..
Katzenbach made the only speech of
the morning.
AT the conclusion of his remarks a
reception committee, headed by Harry
Crist, superintendent of the brass
works; ex-Postmaster John Mcclure,
Harry Rinier, Henry Tomlinson, Will
lam burberry and Samuel Tweed, took
the candidate in charge. and the party
proceeded to Cross Keys, where a crowd
of supporters had assembled at the
public school.
Forty of the pupils dressed in gala at
tire greeted the candidate with a cheer
ing salute, and as the party dismounted
sang two or three patriotic songs. At
the end of the attractive little demon
stration Mr.. Katzenbach was intro
duced to and shook each pupil by the
hand.
Tomorrow the party will tout Salem
County, Mr.. Katzenbach to be the guest
of ]. B.. Carpenter. The feeling through
out this section seems to be very favor
able to Mr.. K~atzenbach, and the candi-
date, who is a clever diagnostician of
things political, seems content with the
tour so far.
vINELAND, Oct. 15.-Frank S. Katz-
enbach, in quest of Democratic votes
to make him this States chief execu-
tive. raided yesterday the Republican
stronghold Of Cumberland County,
which produced Edward Casper Stokes.
He did not make the "whirlwind tour"
his advance agents had advertised in
big headlines, but conserved his ener-
gies for the chief centres of the coun-
TVS population, Millville, Bridgeton and
Vineland.
In Bridgeton and Vineland big crowds
turned out at massmeetings, and at
Millville the candidate stopped for a
drink at the Weatherbee House, hold
ing an informal reception outside. after
a band had gathered a good-sized audi
ence. Then he turned himself over to
a committee of Democratic citizens and
put in an hours effective campaign
work making personal calls at some of
the business and professional offices of
the place.
Early in the day, before speaking to
county delegates in convention at
Bridgeton, Mr.. Katzenbach and a party
of politicians in automobiles had visited
q large glass and machine factory. en-

minding in the least getting his gloves
grimy and clothing soiled, the candi-
date had grasped the hands of fully
one-third of these.
Though he worked largely in mill dis
tricts, Mr.. Katzenbach did not have
the excise question to contend with, a
question that, in his tour last week in
the northern counties, like Banquo's
ghost, refused to down and caused him
much ~vexation in consequence. Cum
berland County people are not exercised
about the liquor traffic and open Sun
days. All of the towns visited have
been strictly prohibition for years,
their charters preventing the sale OF
intoxicants, and most of the villages
and hamlets follow suit. Notwithstand-
ing. however, the local option issue is a
live one and was discussed much at the
various political gatherings OF the day,
though not from the platform.
At the massmeeting which Mr.. Katz-
enbach addressed here last night nearly
1000 persons were in attendance. They
were in hearty accord with he speaker
from the start, and, measured by party
enthusiasm developed, the gathering
ranks with the most encouraging OF
