1.-THE Democratic party might point

and that alone would furnish a con-
! vincing argument for its continuance
+ in power. But it is not content to
speak only of the past. II turns its
face to the future, and its candidates.

Urges support for AssembIymen.
! 1.-THE cities and towns of Essex
County, and the county itself, de-
mand representatives in the Legisla-
ture who are acquainted with local
affairs and who are able to urge laws
in our interests or oppose laws which
are against our interests. Our legis-
lative candidates are qualified by eX-
perience and ability to do this well.
I'VE are peculiarly fortunate this
year in that we have a candidate for
Governor who is not only lifelong
Democrat. but one who in eight years
of legislative experience, and almost
a year as acting Governor, has had
an unsurpassed opportunity for ac-
curing knowledge as to the needs OF
the State. Moreover, as a resident
himself of our second largest city, and
of our largest county, he is well quail
fed to know and to deal with the
problems that are peculiar to metro
politan communities. Newark and
Essex County need such a man in the
Governors chair.
Former United States Senator
Charles A. Towne, another of the
speakers, praised the administrator
standard set by the Democratic party
under his leadership. He led up tC
the discussion of the Wilson admins.
tration by a general survey of the
trend in the political parties toward
decentralization.
Speaking of the political situation
in this State, he said:
1.-THE eyes of the whole nation, an6
in particular those OF the Democracy
of the Union, rest on this state" he
said. eff your fidelity relaxes in
this great trial; if the news goes Out
that the home of Woodrow Wilson
has faltered, it will discourage all OF
the Democracy in Washington"
Talking As Mr.. Fielder.
Assembly Candidate Simon L. Fisci
was another speaker. He referred tc
the fact that Mr.. Fielder was now
asking for the suffrage of New Jer.
sey as plain "Mr Fielder" since hi
had resigned as acting Governor. He
urged that every loyal Democrat
should vote for Mr.. Fielder and fol
the whole Democratic ticket.
President Patrick II Ryan, of the
Board of Works, candidate for re-
election, spoke Of the saving effected
i'll that body.
Former Judge Treacy spoke on be
half of all the candidates and espe
cially of the freeholders. ''If thu
Democratic city administration" h.
said, has been able to lower the ia,
rate in tho city two points in spit
of the rise in the county, is it no
reasonable to believe that the Demo
cratic freeholders, if elected, will in
stitute the same economy"
