said:
Il came here for one purpose; to tell
You people of Hudson County that dur
ing the past two years, while you have
been conducting your fight, we in Es-
sex have not forgotten what we owe to
Hudson County. ii it was not for you
and your leaders, the New Idea party
would never have accomplished some
of the great things it has. About a
week ago I had the honor of meeting
the President of the United States, and
overheard a conversation between that
distinguished gentleman and that eele-
brated prize-fighter. John L. Sullivan.
The President said to Sullivan, John, 1
am always glad to meet you. because
! know, and everybody else knows, you
never threw a fight That is why we
all like the New Idea party.
In the State certain party leaders
are trying to dispose of me and Som
mcr. and soon they will get Billy
Martin and Blauvelt. But I'm in this
fight for the New Idea principles to
stay. 1t don't make any difference how
many are bowled over, we will always
be in the ranks fighting"
Former Mayor Mark M. Pagan dis
cusse9 the local situation and said the
New Idea Republicans We're ready to
renew the fight next fall. He said the
people are dissatisfied with the present
administration and would be glad to see
the New Ideaites back in poWer again.
