Dominated by a winning get-to-

Democratic county and city campaign
started training their guns ON the
enemy today.
Plans Containing many novel sfea>
lures were hit upon, and from now
on energetic work will make the
political days until election the hot
test ever seen here. Headquarters
are opened at 772 Broad street, and
from here will be issued literature
which will keep TIE people informed
as to the record of candidates and
description of the fight.
A score of meetingssh have been ar
ranged. The Democratic County Com,
mittee will appoint it's executive COM
mittee for the campaign at a meeting
next Monday night, and this commit
tee in turn win name the generals for
the county and city battles.
Hon. William Hughes. the party
choice for United States senator. will
speak at a big rally to be held at
the Symphony Auditorium. the date
for which will be announced later.
On this occasion Congressman Will
lam C. Redfeld will also deliver a
speech.
Other prominent names on the
| speakers list include ugustus
Thomas, the playwright and close
friend of Governor Wilson; Congress
man Henry Goldfogel, Hermann Ritz
ter and Joseph Barondess, the labor
1u-l-- M, nvI,a,,,a. mill ro1nond ~ n
toast at q dinner to be given all the
candidates by the Joel Parkers on
October %. Messrs. Goldfogel and
Barondess will be heard at a big
mass-meeting to be held on the
"Hill." Mr.. Ritter will be one of the
principal speakers at a meeting at
Krueger's Auditorium on October 80.
Announcement that 400 had been
enrolled in the newly-organized First
Voters League, although the books
have been open but two days, was a
surprise and particularly gratifying
to the managers. 1t is expected that
the league will have a membership of
1000 by text Monday.
Several hundred business men of
the city have signed a call for the
organization of a Business Mems
League and it was decided this norm
ing TO launch such an organization
within a few days. Most of those
who advocated the formation of such
a body stated in their letters that
the city had thrived under the six
years administration of Mayor
Haussling and in their opinion it be-
hoeyed every merchant, no, matter
what his party utilization may be. to
show appreciation by supporting the
Mayor IN his campaign for reelection.
Action of this kind was in keeping
with the home rule policy, which has
been paramount in considering all
city is at stake.
A massmeeting Of the league will
be held and October 80 is being kept
open for a rousing assemblage of first
voters exclusively.
Another IN Usual scheme locally will
be the issue of a campaign book, or
Haussling history. This volume is in
the hands of the printer and will re-
view the progress of every city de-
partment during the six years the
Mayor has headed the administration.
Comparisons will be made of condi-
lions prior to his taking hold and the
immense improvements that have
marked every year of his direction of
municipal affairs. Politically the book
will he refreshing, for many big
things have been naturally forgotten
by many owing to the rush of events,
and TO the voters who are not familiar
with city doings it will be valuable
in reaching a decision as osthe quail
iication of Mr.. Haussling for the
Office.
After the general details OF the
campaign were gone over prepara-
tons commenced at once for the first
massnieetins under the auspices of
the catnpaigners to be held at the
..eni Lenape Club, Court street. next
Saturday night.
