orite sons for the nomination for the
governorship especially glowing ac-
counts were given. Mercer, which
was so strong for Frank s. Katzen-
bach in preference to Wilson, prom
ises to do as well, If not better, than
it did for Katzenbach three years
ago. At that time the democratic
candidate carried the county by 767.
Hudson, which sent a large follow
ing to Trenton to the democratic
convention in behalf of Mayor Witt
penn, of Jersey City, expects to out
do itself, and Hudson sometimes
finishes with a lead of 10000 or so
for the democratic ticket. The Witt
penn men will be among the hardest
workers for the success of Wilson.
Middlesex, which supported Sena-
tor George s. .Silzer for the guberna-
torial nomination, will not be behind
the others. oliver Kelly, of Middle
sex, said at yesterdays session that
Middlesex would surely give a de-
cided plurality for Mr.. Wilson. David
s. Crater had a similar story to tell
for Monmouth.
1t looks good for the democratic
candidate in Bergen and Passaic
counties. Dan Fellowes Plat, from
the former, said hat the democrats
were in splendid shape for a vigor-
Gus fight. Recalling that Senator
Wakelee, the last time he ran, car
ried the county by less than 700, he
said hat this year there was in
creased dissatisfaction among the
Independent voters, many of whom
were disguised at the outcome of
the recent primaries and the tactics
rof the republican organization in
bringing about the desired result.
Despite the fact that Passaic is
the home county of Vivian M. Lewis
the democrats there are sure that
they can carry it. While Lewis la
personally popular, thai fact is not
going to save the republican ticket.
This sentiment was voiced by former
Senator John Hinchliffe, who drop
ped into headquarters, and by
Thomas Flynn, the state committee
man. One feature of the campaign
in North Jersey is the part that the
commuters have decided to play in
1t. On the Erie lines leading out of
Jersey City it has alrady been decid-
ed to organize Woodrow Wilson
clubs, meeting of which will be fire.
q~uently held On the trains ON the
way home. There will be addresses
at some of these gatherings.
General Dennis F. Collins spoke
enthusiastically of the outlook in
Union. The republicans are not
united by any means In Union. The
rundown of Charles N. Fowler by
the organization for denomination to
congress has left a bad feeling. The
Independent voters look upon Fow-
Ter Is one butchered to make a ma
chine holiday, and many of them are
going to resent 1t. The administra-
ton of county affairs in Union has
ALSO greatly dissatisfied the voters
there and they are on the point OF
rebellion against 1t.
Former Judge John Westcott, of
Camden, visited headquarters while
the committee was In session. He
was a strong Katzenbach rooter and
made a stirring speech for the Tren-
ton man in the state convention. He
said that the democrats of Camden
would be solidly behind Wilson and
predicted large gains for the party
in that county.
In his address to the committee

the purpose of formally opening the
state campaign, to briefly review the
party situation In New Jersey. The
democratic party, sustaining many
years Of defeat, Is on the eve of a
great popular victory.
at is a source Of congratulation
to US all that our party has entered
this campaign with a candidate for
governor whose reputation is world
wide and with a platform of princi-
pies that declare for sound reform
and provide specific remedies for ex-
listing evils.
Under such suspicious circum-
stances we may justly feel that
everything has been done in our
power as democrats to uplift and up
build our party. 1t has been a long
and dreary fight for you gentlemen
who have met defeat year after year.
1t has required no mean love of
party and no little courage to main
tain, upbuild and conserve our party
organization during the seventeen
years of defeat.
"This year we enter the contest
with a reawakened hope and entire
confidence in our future success.
There, however, remains stern and
difficult work before US, and over
confidence cannot win victories.
at is our duty to Immediately lay
plans for the most vigorous and ag-
gressive campaign possible. This can
only be accomplished by co-ordina-
ton of action and self-sacrifcing
work. 1t rests with you, gentlemen
of the state committee, to direct this
fight.
mo county should be left without
organization, no town or city should
be neglected in the slightest respect,
no advantage should be ignored.
Clubs and committees should be
speedily organized, meetings held
and literature distributed. The party
looks to US, and we must not be
found wanting In any respect.
all on our side. The candidate of
our party is the best that a nation
affords; in short, the opportunity is
here, let US make it ours.
I'VE have a strong ally for the
practical work of the campaign in
the auxiliary committee, whose
achievements in the past have re-
suited to the credit of our party.
These young men are ready for the
active work and 1t is our duty to
give them our united support.
ut Is needless for me to discuss
the record of the republican party or
the issues of the campaign. This
committee Is essentially a working
committee and to the practical work
OF the campaign u best efforts
