v. |. NJ COY NAMED
FOR CONGRESS IN
EIGHTH DISTRICT
Democrats Cheer at Every Mem
ti0n of Woodrow Wilson
for Governor.
HARMONY URGED BY
CHAIRMAN NUGENT
Senator Harry v. Osborne,
Chairman, Predicts Great
Victory for Party.

Even more sanguine of success than
four years ago, when they nominated
and elected to Congress LeGage Pratt,
of East Orange, the Democrats of the
Eighth congressional district assem-
bled in convention at the Town Hall,
South Orange. last night nominated
by acolamation Walter I. Mccoy, and
with a marked display of enthusiasm
inddrsed the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson for Governor. and the platform
adopted by the State convention.
Since the extension of the direct pri-
mary system to the nomination of all
elective officers except governor and
congressman and the consequent elm
ination OF the county convention, the
congressional convention is the only
official party medium through which
party candidates and policies can be in
dorsed, except the several county COM
mittees.
1t was to the Eighth district the
honor fell of having the first opportunity
to ratify the action of the State con-
vention, and the opportunity was
grasped with will
Every mention of the name of Candi-
date Wilson was cheered to the echo,
and that plank of the platform indors-
ing the action of the State convention
was greeted with prolonged applause.
The platform as adopted follows:
Platform Adopted.
The Democratic party of the Eighth
congressional district of New Jersey
through its representatives In conven-
ton assembled at South Orange, this
sixteenth day of September, 1910, make
this declaration of principles.
We unqualihedly indorse the platform
adopted by the Democratic State con-
vention held at Trenton September 15
1870 and the candidacy of Woodrow
Wilson for the Office of governor.
We call the attention of the people
TO the record OF the Republican party
in its administration of the Federal
government, Year after year we have
witnessed an increasing cost of living
and heavier burden of indirect taxa
tion.
The administration of President Taft
has been signalized by disregard of
party pledges and by palpable efforts
to deceive the people into believing that
the tariff has been revised downward,
whereas there has In fact been no real

reduction, but there have been many
increases in the schedules on necessities
as well as upon almost every other
class of imports.
We condemn the present tariff law as
UNEQUAL and unjust and as being chiefly
responsible for the high cost Of living
This condition is directly chargeable to
the Republican party. We demand an
honest revision of the tariff downward
on the necessaries of life In the interest
of all the people, and submit that this
can only be obtained through a Demo-
cratic Congress. To such a revision
we pledge the nominee of this conven-
ton.
Urged to Follow Maine's Lead.
A sweeping Democratic victory in the
State was predicted by Senator Harry
". Osborne, chairman of the conven-
ton, and James r. Nugent, chairman
of the State Democratic Committee, and
the question was raised whether the
Jersey Democrats were less active and
deserving of victory than those in
Maine who have overthrown Republi-
lican domination.
During a short recess when the COM
mittee on rules and credentials made
up it's reports, Mr.. Nugent thanked the
delegates and active workers of the
party for the results obtained at the
Trenton convention.
"There is no doubt" he said, that
we will bring the proud State of New
Jersey back to the Democratic States
of the North. A brilliant man has re-
ceived the nomination at Trenton and

WIND BLOWS CHECK AWAY;
TAKES TRACER AFTER 1T.

WASHINGTON, N. j., Sept. 17-After
an eight-hour search for a lost pay
check had proved vain, Whitfield Carey,
a conductor, hit on a simple expedient
of sending another bit of paper after 1t
and thus was able to find it without
further trouble.
The check had blown out of the win
dow into a patch of tall weeds, and the
second piece of paper, as near the size
and weight of the check as possible,
was laid in the same place. picked up
by the breeze and deposited beside the
missing pay check.

ing under the direction Of DR.. Charles W
