A statement by John Kelly, presi-
dent OF the newly formed Democra-
tic club, also issued today, follows:
"A statement appeared in the first
edition in the Perth Amboy Evening
News this date to the effect that the
Democratic Club organized on Mon
day evening. August list, was form
ed with the idea in view of support
ing these two candidates. The W
candidates referred to are Senator
Thomas Brown for state senator and
David 4. Wilentz for the assembly.
The for which the Demo-
cratic Club was organized were
clearly outlined by John E. Toolan
at a meeting on last Monday even
ing at the time of the organization
of the club. At this time 1t was
pointed out that the club was organ
lied to promote absolute harmony
in Democratic ranks and to amello-
rate all factions to the end that
there might be a Democratic victory
at the polls in November. 1t was
positively explained that the l
lie not represent any particular rae
ion and hat it would not tolerate
any factional warfare. The purposes
of the club as outlined by the speak
err were very warmly by
the entire audience, consisting or
over three hundred representative
Democrats from every ward and Sec
ton of the city.
I'VE feel thai it is decidedly
unfair for anyone to ~insinuate that
the club was formed for any purpose
other than above stated. we chal-
lenge anyone in the city to come
forward with definite information
81 lin u, anu r1nnnDr 1ndlr1te
that the club has any motive other
than Democratic success.
ut is only fair in passing to re-
mark that it is generally felt by
Democrats throughout h city that
the party is somewhat disorganlzed.
Those responsible for the new
movement are keenly conscious W
the fact that if the club is brands
as the tool of any particular faction
that it will consequently lose the
support of those representing otner
factions, and as a result n clup
| could not look for success in NO
vember. In order, therefore, TO as
sure all factions of the absolute
good faith of the organizers of the
new clab, special care was taken
to extend a cordial invitation to all
factions to attend h meeting on
last Monday evening.
The club has been formed and
organized by representative Demo-
Gratis from all over the city. and we
| feel that their choice and judgment
is entitled to stamp the movement
as a genuine Democratic movements
superior to the opinions of any sin
gle faction or any combination or
factions in the Democratic ranks.
The club is the outgTowth of a cry
ing demand honest, earnest, sincere
and one hundred per cent demo-
cratic throughout the city for a real
democratic organization represen-
tative of the opinions of all of the
Democratic voters rather than the
domination of any clique or faction.
We feel that the club is n VIII
continue to be representative of this
sincere democratic spirit and If all
factions will only be honest and fair
and render wholehearted support to
the club, the club will bring about
a new era of democratic success be-
yCnd anything that has heretofore
been realized in this city.
1t is very si'atifying to read the
statement of Mayor Dorsey in to-
days paper to the effect that he is
behind the Democratic Club form
ed. We earnestly trust hat all
cheating Democrats in the city will
fellow the example set by the for
mer mayor.
