PATERSON, Sept. 27.-This city has
been distinguished in many ways, and
today another was added through its
being made the assembling point of
the delegates to two congressional con-
ventions called at the same hour and
convened In halls only a few blocks
apart. The distinction was appreciated
because one of the two candidates
named today will represent in the
Sixty-first Congress the Sixth district.
comprising Bergen, Passaic and Sus-
sex counties, the most populous in
the State by more than % per cent
hughes Unanimous Choice.
The Democrats assembled in Entire
Nous Hall, in Main street, unanimous
ly renominated Congressman William
Hughes and adopted platform indors-
ing the platform of the State Demo-
cratic convention and the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson for governor, con-
demned the Payne-Aldrich tariff and
pledged its candidate to tariff revision
downward.
Every reference to the name of Can
didate Wilson was cheered to the echo.
and when Congressman Hughes, in
paid a glowing tribute to the man
whom he said the Democrats and in
dependent voters of the State would
make their next governor, there was
demonstration such as has seldom been
witnessed in this city.
Republicans "Whoop 1t Up"
There WAS plenty of enthusiasm. too,

ii, was futile In opening the conyen-

Loyal to Lewis.
Chairman Prince dwelt on the honor
accorded the county by the Republic
can party in having selected for the
second time in fifteen, years one OF
its honored sons as the party candl-
sale, he said, owed, land he believed
they would give this year to Candidate
Vivian M. Lewis the same loyal sup
port they gave to Candidate John w.
Griggs, in 1895.
The popularity of Candidate Lewis
was just as warmly attested in the
home of his friends as was that of DR..
Wilson at the Democratic convention.
When it came to the adoption of
"standpat" platform modelled after the
State Republican platform, which was
forced by the Regulars, who dominated
the convention, there was much evil
dence of dissatisfaction.
There was absolutely no friction at
the Democratic convention, over which
Colonel Alfred T. Hollery presided
The chairman aroused the enthusiasm
Of the convention at the start when
he declared that with man like Wood

"Billy' Hughes for Congress making
up the balance Of the ticket the Demo-
Gratis of the State would not alone
duplicate. but far surpass the result In
Maine.
The platform adopted, which is brief

THE Democrats of the Sixth congress

hereby ratify and affirm the principles
laid down in the national platform
adopted at Denver July 10, 1908. as we'll
as the State platform adopted at Tren-
ton September Is, 1910. We indorse the
candidacy of the Hon. Woodrow Wilson
for governor of this State, and pledge
him our hearty support.
I'VE condemn the tariff law recently
enacted by the Republican party as an
unjust and iniquitous measure, in the
making of which the people of this
country have been betrayed into the
hands of those who are content to
coin money out of human misery and
privations. We favor and demand an
honest revision of the tariff in the in
terest of the whole people, and espe-
cially on those necessaries of life which
by the operation of the present law
have become more than luxuries.
I'VE denounce private monopolies as
indefensible and intolerable, and favor
any legislation which will make it i'm
possible for them to exist.
I'VE favor the enactment of law
compelling the publication of cam
paign subscriptions before election.

elective offices.
I'VE are in hearty accord with the
principle that United States senator's
should be elected by the people, and
would urge a proper constitutional
amendment providing for such election.
I'VE condemn the needless waste Of
our national resources, and favor the
enactment of such legislation as will
nrocilre proper conservation thereof
Knowing that this great nation of
ours is composed mainly of wage
earners, we favor any law which has
for its object the Improvement of their
conditions, and we deplore the tendency
of our opponents to classify their or
