Ohio to Give Wilson 200, 900.
Honest government is the noblest
work OF man." is another theory Of
! .dr. Lentz who came to Perth Amboy
! lust loaded down, literally with such
thoughts and endeavo4 ed to SOW them
on profitable ground. The orator
S firm in his conviction that the his b
cost of living will go down, if the
Democrats are elected to power in
the national government on Novem-
Der 5, principally because the party
of Jefferson and Jackson, and now
of Wilson,, will legislate such tariff
reform measures that the cost of liv-
ing necessities will materially
reduced and a greater tax made on
the playthings Of the idle rich
champagne, diamonds and other such
like Injuries. Congressman Len;z
asserted that he brings to the state
| of New Jersey, from Ohio, the mes
sage of good will towards Mr.. Will
son and the conviction hat the New
Jersey governor will carry Ohio by
100000 majority.
Cheers For William Hughes.
Former Congressman William
Hughes, Of Paterson, of whom much
was said and written during his re-
cent successful campaign to defeat
former U. S. Senator James Smith,
| Jr., of Newark, for the preferential
| senatorial nomination at the hands
of the Democrats, spoke to the audi
ence with a elaboration that struck
many as forcible. He made a strong
impression, simply because he used
common terms and common words
and spoke in a sincere manner. He
had a good word for Tom" Scully,
who represents New Jersey on the
Rivers and Harbors committee for
the first time such representation
has been enjoyed in the history of
that state, and the members of the
Middlese& county legislative ticket.
Mr.. Hughes frankly admitted that
he has a selfish motive in desiring
the election of the legislative ticket
on November 5. If elected, they are
morally bound to vote for Mr.. Hughes
for United States senator, under the
primary law.
Eugene kinkead Opens Meeting.
Congressman Eugene Kinkead, Of
Jersey City, was the first speaker of
the evening. He addressed the crowd
for but a few minutes, as he was
forced to catch an early train from
Railway to attend a Bayonne gather
ing in the interest of his candidacy
for reelection. He spoke for Mr..
Scully and Mr.. Hughes, principally,
during his sh TT add e-s. M. Kim
kead predicts that Mr.. Wilson VIII
carry every one of the forty-eight
states, and that Champ Clark will
some day be elected president of the
country. They were his only pre-
dictions. During his OBSCURE a
man in the crowd yelled "Scully is
the man" There was much applause
on this remark, as the name OF
s Gully was in high favor last night
with the crowd. If the congressman
had been present, it is estimated that
the voters would have shaken the
rafters with their cheers.
DR.. Ramsay is Chairman.
George S. Walker, candidate for re
corder, was the last speaker of the
evening. Inasmuch as Mr.. Scully and
Mr.. MARITIME were check-mated at
Port Reading, 1t was decided to Id
journ the meeting. The crowd had
thinned out by 1890 o'clock, and
| 1t was considered unwise to tax the
patience of the faithful. Richard J.
Calvin, who Is out for reelection as
| alderman from the third ward, open
| ed the meeting as chairman of the
| Wilson Club. He introduced Dr.
| William E. Ramsay, candidate for
state senator, as chairman OF the
evening. The doctor introduced each
speaker with appropriate remarks
