VI 81 1otOAo 49,
added that he professed to have a
| special. knowledge of maritime af-
fairs, not only in this locality, but
along the entire Atlantic coast.
81 know what improvements are
needed" he added, land when l am
! elected to congress l shall labor for
| those ends-to improve the water
ways of this district" He declared
that his business had made him fa-
miliar with the waterway question
and that Improvements were neces-
sary, especially locally. He said he
was in favor of an honest tariff re-
form and that a reduction of the tax
would tend to decrease the high cost
of living. "The tariff should be re-
duced," he added, "and | will act as
will best serve your interests" In
concluding the speaker said: 81
promise you, and so1emnly pledge,
that when / do go to congress the
people will not regret it." Another
uproar followed his address.
Address by MIR. Katzenbach.
HE will surely go there; he has
told the truth" said Chairman Run
yon when he arose to introduce the
next speaker. Frank s.. Katzenbach
Jr., of Trenton, received a warm well
come as many remembered him from
three years ago when he was the
democratic gubernatorial candidate.
II could refuse an invitation
to come to Perth Amboy" he said
after acknowledging the reception.
He attacked the trusts and corpora
ton control and added that competi-
ton was a thing of the past. He
said there should be laws to regulate
corporations and an efficient public
utilities bill with a rate making pow
er. He attacked bossIsm and said it
does nov and had existed in both
parties. The voters, he said, should
be the ones to decide questions, not
the political bosses, who were the
tools of corporations and trusts. He
spoke in favor of the extension of the
direct primary law and declared that
a proper employers liability bill
should be passed to protect the work
Ing man from the carelessness of his
employer in case of injury.
He attacked the administration of
the republican party In state affairs
and some Of the laws hat had been
passed. He told a story of how he
had seen an infant with it's nurse on
a street In his home city recently,
and how he had noticed a small rub
Der ring and nipple in the child's
mouth. II asked the nurse what it
was that the child seemed to be 80
contented with, despite that there
was no substance on the other side
of the thing. She told me 1t was a
pacifer. That is just what the re-
publican party has been giving the
people in the way of bills, merely
pa%cifiers, with no substance in them
whatsoever"
Mr.. Katzenbach said that he want
ed to see Thomas J.. Scully elected to
congress. They say" he added,
that a e man In congress can't
get anything for his district and for
that reason the republican nominee
should be returned. That argument
might be all right If the next con-
gress was going to be republican, but
1t isn't; it's going to be democratic.
Mr.. Howell has had a republican con-
gress, that is why he got things"
After stating that he hoped to see
Mayor BollschweiIer and DR.. William
!, e. Ramsay reelected and most of all
Woodrow Wilson as governor, Mr..
Katzenbach concluded amid prolong-
ed applause.
Michael Dunn Lauds Wilson.
The final speaker of the evening
was Michael Dunn, of Paterson, who
spoke chiefly OF state Issues. He at
tackled Governor Fort and his recent
action against the New Jersey COM
muters who were now compelled to
pay SIS o a yea On account of
the raise in commutation rates by the
railroads. I'm the city of Paterson"
he said, there are $500 republican
commuters, and they will all vote
for Woodrow Wilson; there are 5000
more republican commuters in Ber-
gen county and they will all vote for
Wilson. / also hear the same report
from Essex county" MIR. Dunn spoke
on the labor question and showed
how the republicans and their candi-
date for governor, Vivian M. Lewis,
have worked against their interests.
He Landed Mr.. Wilson, the democra-
tic candidate for governor, and said
that most Of the things he had de-
clared himself in favor OF, Mr. Lewis
had taken up for his issues. Follow
ing his conclusion the meeting was
adjourned.
