Ratify City and County Ticket
and Plan Banquet for
Nominees.

Joel Parker Association members
ratified the Democratic city and coun-
ty ticket chosen primary day in a
rousing manner last night at a regu-
lar meeting in headquarters, 772 Broad
street, making acclaims Of victory.
At the same time 1t was decided to
give the annual dinner in honor of
the Democratic nominees on October
rs at the Krueger Auditorium.
James r. Nugent, the president, de-
olared that the annual banquet was a
custom that has accomplished much
good for the Democratic party and
that it was appreciated by the county
committee. The date of October 25,
Mr.. Nugent said, fitted in with the
campaign plans of the latter, and that
date was thereupon approved Mr.
Nugent announced that the committee
to have charge of the banquet would
be appointed later.
The dinner win be one of the big
events of the Democratic campaign,
and some prominent speakers will be
invited to make addresses.
In its Endorsement of the primary
ticket the association pledged itself
to do everything possible for the cleo
tion of the candidates. Motion to
rattfy the ticket was made by City
Treasurer Elmer A. Day.
s The Endorsement of the candidates
included those for local offices as well
as for county positions. In every ward
and district, as well as in the county
at large, 1t was resolved that the in
huenoe of the association and its
members would be extended to the
support of the Democratic noninees
While this is in accordance with the
answering custom of the Joel Parker
Association, it was felt that condi-
tions were peculiarly propitious for a
Democratic victory this year.
The clambake in August was the
starting point in the Democratic pri-
mary campaign, and the dinner on
October 20 is planned to be one of the
principal events in the grand finale
to the campaign leading up to the
general election. The association is
taking no part in the special election
to be held October 10, when three con-
stitutional amendments, including
woman's suffrage, will be voted upon.
Sentiment among the individual MEM
bers, however. is adverse to votes for
women.
The annual clambake. which took
place August Is, was declared to
have been one of the finest sue
cesses ever scored by the association.
The report of the financial secretary,
William j. Bahrs, showed that the
bake cost S2,002.57, and that the re-
ceipts were $2,014.50. "The bake is
such an increased success every year."
remarked Mr.. Nugent, that 1t may
become problem how to accommo-
date everyone"
Big Membership Increase.
Including several members admitted
last night, there have been 100 mem
bers admitted since January 1. This
makes the total membership of those
in good standing BAL, with several
more applications about to be offered.
An invitation to the meeting of the
Leni Lenape Club on October 13, was
presented by Mr.. Day, and was ac-
cepted. The Democratic campaign
will be formally opened on that oc-
casion.
A contribution of S100 to the Demo-
cratic campaign fund was unani-
mously voted, following a report that
the association had a bank account of
almost $500. Ten tickets were pur-
chased for a ball to be held Novem-
ber 15 in the Kruger Auditorium by
the Trades Union Anti-Tuberculois
Association.
