WILL BE REPRESENTED
List of Guests Includes Name of
Citizens High in Political

For the thirty-first time the Joel
Parker Association will gather on
Wednesday for its annual outing. This
year 700 of the members and their
friends will go to Port-au-Peck for a
clambake at the Pleasure Bay Park.
According to the reports being made
by the committee on arrangements,
there has not been a time in the his
tory of h organization when the en-
thusiasm has been shown over the out
ing hat is apparent this year. OF
course most of the crowd will tome
from Newark and vicinity, but other
parts of the State will be well repre-
sented at the biggest Democratic out
ing of the year. 1t is even said thai
some of the New York Democrats will
join the procession.
The orders are for every one who
wants to join the party to be at the
Parker headquarters in Commerce
street at 8 O'Clock sharp Wednesday
morning. From there the association
will march down Park street to Broad,
down Broad to the City Hall and back
to the Central railroad station, where
it will embark for New York. An es-
cort of mounted police will meet it
there and accompany it to the Sandy
Hook boat for the Highlands. The New
Workers will also meet the party there.
The boat will drop them at the High
lands. where special trolley cars will
be waiting to take them to their destil
nation.
The return journey will be more spec
tacular than the leaving. Instead of
coming all the way back to the Bread
street station the men will leave the
Central train at Ferry street, disem-
barking at about $50. Arrangements
have been made by the John F. Iona
han Association to act as escort in he
march through the Fifth ward and
back to headquarters.
Although it is a Democratic outing
there will not be all Democrats in the
ranks after the boat leaves its dock.
Two years ago the Republican Free
holders of Morris county held their out
ing at the same time and place as the
L NILS NDlltoG Ii1at iii Nv nave
made it a point to do that every year,
and this is no exception.
One of the most honored of all those
who will be present on the outing will
be John D. Thomson, the first president
of the organization. Out of respect to
his years and the work he has done for
the association he will head the line in
an automobile.
All of the Democratic State Senators
have been invited. and it is expected
that most of them at least will be
present. Some of the others who will
probably go along are Mayor Hauss-
ling, former United States enato
James Smith, jr., Chief Michael Cor
bitt. former Chief Henry Hopper, Peter
Hauck, former Governor George F.
Werts, Charles Parker, Sheriff Har-
rigan, Mayor Otto Wittpenn, of Jersey
