AVON, Aug. ia declaration to
| the effect that the Democratic party
VIII be successful in Newark at the
coming elections was made by James
X. Nugent, the Essex county Demo-
cratic leader, at the annual outing of
the Joel Parker Association at Nep-
tune Heights, near here, today. Mr..
Nugent spoke as president of the as
ISOLATION, and his remarks were re-
celVed enthusiastically. In the course
or his talk he also predicted success
for the Democratic party at the ma
| tional election next year. He Incl
dentaily took occasion to also predict
that the cause of woman suffrage
would be defeated overwhelmingly at
the special election in this State next
October.
The address of Mr.. Nugent was q
feature of the big political outing
which came here from Newark. The
trip was made by special train from
Atlantic Highlands. the Newarkers
going from their home town to New
York and thence by boat TO the shore
town.
The speakers talk was generally
accepted as harmonious note, indi-
eating that the Democracy of Essex
county would be lined up in full ac-
cord next year with the Wilson ad-
mlnistration. His references to the
Raymond administration were taken
TO mean that the Democrats of New
ark believe the present Republican

whom he said was discredited
member of the national party.
Democrats from various parts of
the State were to be seen in confer
ence with the Essex county contin-
gent here. The visiting delegation in
cluded many politicians who are
spending their vacation time at the
New Jersey shore resorts.
Enthusiasm Everywhere.
| The gathering at the clambalxe was
one of the greatest ever seen at Nep-
tune Heights, and the general atmos-
phere seemed to be charged with
confidence in Democratic success at
the polls. There was plenty of en-
thusiasm every minute and the splen-
did weather seemed to be the proven
bal Joel Parker Association luck.
1t is expected that a Newark and
Essex county party slate will be de-
cided on by the leaders of the Joel
Parkers before the day is over. A
tentative draft has been made al
ready, and it is said that the only
matter left undetermined is whether
or not Charles p. Gillen will be
backed by the Organization for re-
nomination on the Board of Works
ticket.
On the trip here 1t was reported
that Alderman James p. Rogers
would be candidate for the Board
of Works nomination. 1t was also
said that Albert H. Biertuempfel
would be a candidate for renomina-
tion on the Board of Works. The
terms of Commissioner Gillen and
Biertuempfel expire this year
Mr.. Nugent in his address said:
AS president of the Joel Parker As
sociation, speaking on behalf of it's
membership, welcome you to this
our thirty-seventh annual outing
Your presence here in such large
numbers indicates at once the fact
that the Democratic party in New
Jersey is today a united party, and as
/ look into your faces and listen to
your TepOTIS anu TO your COnVeTSaI lion
I am prone to believe that the Demo-
cratic party in this State is coming
into its own again.
Oldest in State.
'"The Joel Parker Association is the
oldest political organization in the
State of New Jersey and the second
oldest and biggest Democratic or
ganization in the United States.
This grand old banner was first
flung he breeze in 1876,
and for nearly forty years now
it has served to proclaim the
message of Democracy to the people
of this State and nation. This grand
old banner-you will note that time
has not dealt gently with it, for it is
fading with the years--this grand old
banner, bearing the portrait of the
stalwart and earnest Democrat from
whom this association receives it's
name, has appeared in every national
