MADE FAVORABLE IMPRESSION

On Tuesday evening last the largest
attended and most enthusiastic gath
ering of the Mainland Republican Club
members that has taken place this
year assembled in the Club rooms in
the Burkhard building. Long before
the hour set for the opening of the
evenings program, the rooms were
filled to overlooking, and so vast was
the crowd of mainland Republicans
gathered from every section of the
County, that the meeting had to be
moved to the Council Chambers. in the
City Hall.
The principal object of the gathering
vas to give the members an oppor-
tunity of becoming personally ac-
qualnted with their candidate for Sena-
tor at the coming November election
that is, those who were not already on
intimate terms with the candidate.
The meeting was presided over by
the President of the organization, Free
holder Clark Adams, who opened the
session by introducing the County
leader, Mr.. Enoch L. Johnson, who, in
well chosen words, commended the
Club for its early display of interest
in the affairs of the County, and, its
great demonstration of enthusiasm as
evidenced by the large gathering of it's
members present. AS is usual, MUGS"
words were greeted with tremendous
applause, again demonstrating the
warm spot in the hearts of the MEM
bers for his leadership. He was fol-
lowed by Hon. Charles D. White, the
candidate for the State Senate. Mr..
White made a decided impression upon
his hearers. going back over his early
boyhcod days, and his struggle up the
ladder until at present he is one of
the owners of the Marlborough-Blen-
helm, one of Atlantic City's most ia
nous hotels. Mr.. White pledged his
best efforts in the interest of the
County which he hopes to represent in
the upper branch of the State law
making body, assuring the members
that he was open to any suggestions
they had to offer, and would strive to
represent the county SO that the great
est good should come to the greatest
NUMBER
Following their addresses, Mr.. John
son and Mr.. White were excused, as
they had another meeting to attend
in a different section of the county.
The President hen called upon a
representative from each municipality
represented in the Club for a report
as to conditions in their localities, and
the reports Of the different members
was indeed gratifying. He then call
ed on Rev. Dewitt C. Cobb, who was
present to meet and hear Mr.. White,
for a short address. Mr.. Cobb's speech
V a. very eloquent, although it could
hardly be termed political. He dwelt
'argely upon the subject of the League
of Nations, and his objections to it.
He brought out many points against it
that were, perhaps, never before con-
sidered by the membership. When he
had finished. he received tremendous
applause and was congratulated by
many members upon his eloquent and
well chosen words.
Following the speech making, the
meeting was turned over to the Enter
tainment Committee, who had provid-
ed an abundance of refreshments and
smokes. At eleven O'Clock the meet
ing broke up, everyone apparently be-
Ing in a happy frame of mind, and hop
ing for another such gat .ering in the
not distant future.
