The recent district convention
which nominated Hon. Porter H.
Dale for Congress affords signal
honor to a distinguished e zen of
Essex, a county arm in its republic
anism uncompromising in party
fealty.
The honor is well deserved because
Essex, although an organized politi-
cal division for more than a hundred
years, has never had a Representative
in Congress or a United States SEN
ator. Many times the loyal sons Of
Essex have marched down the Con-
vention hall with the deciding vote
in great political contests, and as
sisted candidates from other counties
to win a coveted prize.
