Predicts Another victory.
Mr.. Nugent in his speech to the
memhers-grew eloquent on the pros
poets for the victory of the ticket in
the coming elections.
You have accepted tonight n
ticket, which, / believe, is the strong
est that could be presented to the
voters in the coming campaign.
There is no question concerning the
outcome of the Presidential election.
1t is conceded that democracy will
win without even a struggle, and I
am sure the ticket here will win In
the same way.
"What differences we have had In
the party have been settled long ago,
ana have been settled within the
party lines. So we now go on to
victory in harmony. strong in the be-
lief that our argument will be un-
derstood by the voters and carry
the party on to another victory.
The Republican organization made
known its ticket last night. / believe.
and it was defeated as soon as 1t was
published. There are Assemblymen
on that ticket, gentlemen, who voted
against a bill that / framed to make
the Prudential Insurance Company
pay taxes, and those men who voted
away hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars per year Of the money of the
voters of this country have now the
effrontery to ask the people of the
same county to elect them to Office.
That, gentlemen, Is the rationale
of the Republican ticket all the way
through. The Democratic plans are
different. 1
1--WE are going to show these things
to the people, We are going to show
them that the Democratic ticket Is
the only reasonable ticket and should
win. We will show what the party
has done. The Congressman will
come mere and show what they have
done-and Mr., Mccoy and Mr.. Town
send have been an honor to the
county,
Pays Tribute to Mayor.
Mr.. Nugent then paid tribute to the
work done by the Mayor since his adj
ministration began, and this evoked
applause. Continuing along the same
lines, Mr.. Nugent outlined the SER
vices Of the councilmen, many of
whom, he said, probably will be re-
nominated and should be reelected.
Concluding. the city counsel urged
the members to put forth every eff
fort in support of the ticket to in
sure a continuation of the just and
decent administration which. he said.
had been of such benefit to the city.
II know of no community in the
world where the citizens live better.
under better conditions, than they do
here" said Mr.. Nugent, and we want
to keep 1t so. There's no reason why
we can't. We have the enthusiasm,
We have the argument. we have right
On our side, and we'll get out and
win"
