There will be big democratic
rally in this city on the night of Oc-
tober 81, at which time Frank 8.

stump" for Woodrow Wilson, the
democratic gubernatoriaI nominee,
will be the principal speaker. Ar
rangements for the meeting were
completed at conference of the
democratic city committee last night
In the Mccormick building, at Smith
and High streets, the organization's
headquarters. Mr.. Katzenbach was
the democratic nominee for govern
or two years ago and during his
campaign at that time spoke in this
city. Those who heard him can tes-
tify to his ability as an orator, and
1t is highly probable that when he
speaks in the Auditorium on Octo-
Der 21, it will be crowded with vot-
ers.
Mr.. Katzenbach was himself a
candidate for the democratic guber-
material nomination at the state con-
vention recently but when President
Wilson, of Princeton College, was
chosen, he Immediately offered him
his support and declared he would
take the stump" for him. He is
now one of the strongest supporters
of Mr.. Wilson, who will be heard in
this city on November 4
Following the democratic con-
gressional convention at Red Bank
last Saturday, when huge crowd
thronged Frick Lyceum eager to
hear Mr.. Wilson speak, Mr.. Katzen-
bach announced himself as "arm In
arm" with the college president.
His address here will be all the
more interesting because his views
are those of man who sees the
election from the outside, who is Of
ficially disinterested, but who has
the welfare of the party at heart.
lie has nothing to gain, no matter
what the tread of the final ballot,
forts.

Adam Eckert Still In Race.
Adam Eckert, independent candi-
date for mayor, this morning denied
a~report that he was holding off his
petition as a bluff, and that he did
not intend to file it. He stated that
the petition would be placed in the
hands of the county clerk either Sat
urday or Monday.
1t was reported about that Mr..
Eckert was "stalling' and had no
intention, or never did intend to f1le
the petition, for some reason known
to himself. This he deIries and
gives assurance that it will be prop
erly recorded before onday night,
There are seven petitions in cir
culation, he says. Altogether, Mr.
Eckert claims, there are more than
200 signatures affixed. Who the
signers are he would not make pub
lie, nor would he show reporter
one of the petitions.
