FOR CONGRESS IN

1 am a victorious leader the credit will
be yours as well as mine.
Woodrow Wilson, your candidate
for Governor, will not only be the next
Governor of New Jersey, but the next
President of the United States
Mr.. Nugent received a great ovation
when he stepped on the platform.
The convention was opened by Tyler
Parmly. chairman of the Democratic
County Committee. and Senator Os-
borne was introduced as chairman.
Frank J. McTague acted as secretary,
The credit for what has been done
so far and for what will be DONE" he
said, us due to the energetic work and
the unselfishness of the chairman of
the State committee. James r. Nu-
gent.
Woodrow Wilson, our candidate for
Governor, struck the keynote when he
said thai we must have equal rights
for all and that is what the Demo
cratic party stands for all the time.
Robert S. Sinclair, of South Orange,
made the nomination speech for his
neighbor n townsman, Mr.. Mccoy,
and called him the man who meets all
the requirements of the hour
1--WE must keep on fighting, however,
although it looks almost like a fore
gone conclusion that we will win. The
people cannot look to the Republican
party any longer for a remedy in con-
ditions. They must come to the Demo-
cratic party to rescue them from spe-
cial interests. The people will be for
the man who is pledged against Can
nonism and we in New Jersey want to
accomplish what has just been done in
Maine"
HE has ability and integrity" he
continued, and the Democrats can
vote for him with enthusiasm and the
Republicans with confidence" All

Mccoy and former Alderman Mullln.

to make the nomination by acclama-
ton.
Candidate lakes speech.
In accepting the nomination rendered
as 1t was with such unanimtty Candl-
date Mccoy, after thanking the conVen-
ton for the honor conferred and pre-
dieting a repetition in this State oil
the result in Maine, said. in part:
II believe that this campaign Will be
second in Importance only to thos
campaigns in which was involved the
preservation of the Union, for in TINS
campaign 1t will be decided whether
for a long time to come we shall remain
i'm the clutches of those special inter
ests which for more than forty years
have levied upon the people of this
country taxes of untold millions ano
placed on the people an unnecessary
burden of countless hours of labor.
at is to me almost uncomfortable thaI
the people will allow themselves again
to be deceived by the Republican party
but there Is danger that they will be
unless the Democratic party shall meet
the issue clearly and fearlessly ant
keep 1t constantly before the public un'

1.-The demand for the appointment OF
a tariff commission is the first trick
The talk of the Republicans would
lead us to think that a tariff commits
sion was a new thing.
"A Congressman from Indiana named
Watson, accused OF having represents
ed certain interests which profit by the
Aldrich law, recently said thai
he had resigned from the ways anc

Does any one think that the specia
