MAYOR RAYMOND
should RESIGN,
HENRY ASSERTS
Former Judge Declares Execu-
tive Was Elected by Max
ing False Pretenses.
FAILED TO MAKE GOOD.
He TELLS DEMOCRATS
Enthusiastic Gathering at Ban
quet of Joel Parker Asso-
citation at Krueger's.

Former Judge Thomas S. Henry told
the Joel Parker Association at its an
nual banquet last night in Kruger
Auditorium that Mayor Raymond was
elected by making false pretenses and
now should resign his office. He said:
Last year I was satisfied he
mayor Raymond was making prom
ises he could not keep. He has failed
TO make good, and as he was carried
in under false pretenses the only
manly thing left for him to do is to
resign an office obtained by false rep
.resentation.
Shortly after he took office, the
clerk of the police board, a compe-
tent and efficient man, was removed.
But when Mr.. Cox showed he was
disposed to fight his removal, he was
retired on pay of 81 500 per annum.
You have heard something of the
Third Criminal Police Court. The bill
establishing that court was intro
duced by the man whom Mayor Ray
nlond appointed judge, and that at
least is not ethical. This Third Pre-
cinct Criminal Court saddles an un-
necessary expense of $4,000 on the
taxpayers. I think the less Mayor
Raymond says about economy, the
better it will be for him."
The mayors remarks during the
primary Campaign about the Essex
members of the 1915 Legislature also
came back to plague him. His asser-
tion that If they were renominated he
would vote for them with "a clothes
pin on my nose" was frequently re-
called, and the mayors other pre-
primary comments upon them were
described as sufficient argument for
the election of the Democratic candi-
dates.
A Revelation.
AS criterion of the condition IN
which the Democratic party ap-
proaches election day, the banquet
was considered a revelation. The big
hall has seldom accommodated such
a gathering on a similar occasion,
Democrats Of prominence and Demo-
Gratis from the ranks being present
from all sections of the county. The
pleas for the county ticket round q
responsive chord, while references to
the city candidates were especially
appreciated.
When former Mayor Jacob Hauss-
ling was introduced by the toast
master, James r. Nugent, the presi-
dent of the association, as your
former mayor and probably your next
mayor" the diners gave evidence OF
a belief that the "probably" was
superhuous. Again, when Mr.. Nugent
spoke of Dr. Charles r. Kraemer,
former member of the Board of
Works and candidate for reelection,
as the man who took the lead in
everything that was good for the city"
the Joel Parkers and their friends
showed their approval. In the name
of party loyalty, as well as in the IN
terests of the city and its progress,
Mr.. Nugent asked for an Endorsement
of DR.. Kraerner. He also urged the
election of former Sheriff John +.
Monahan to the Board of Works. He
said the party faced the necessity or
electing two Democratic members of
the board in order that there may be
working majority next year, in
stead of 'the impasse condition that
has existed since January L.
shortly before the speech-makins
commenced a large American flag was
unfurled from a balcony over the
speakers table and red, white and
hIue lights were flashed. A number
of Republicans were in the crowd,
one of the most conspicuous being
Assemblyman George Downs, of Mor-
ris county. Mr.. Downs was introduced

STAY. especial delight being taken in
the presenting of the Assembly can
didates to him as his colleagues next
winter from Essex provided only
that he himself should be reelected

Courtesy to Mr.. Downs's presence
did not prevent the Assembly nomi-
nees from continuing to, draw on the
1915 Legislature for their subjects, the
session being considered extremely
unusually open to attack. The God
frev bills for the abandonment of the
Norris canal the reglect of the Ma
tional Guard and v lows pensions in
the annual supplemental bill and on
numerous other points the 1915 Leg1s-
lature was exposed.
LAS has often been my pleasure.
said Mr.. Nugent, in opening the
speechmaking. "I welcome you in the
name of the oldest political organi-
zation in the State of New Jersey
and the oldest In the United States
