No Signs of Split at Outing of
Democratic b--Many
Hear DR.. Ramsay

If there has been any thought
that a break was about due in the
ranks of the local Democratic party
they were dispelled yesterday at the
annual outing at Nickenig's Grove in
Maurer, when representative from
both the original and new clubs were
present and partook of the good
things to eat and enjoyed the ad-
dresses. Besides the principal ad-
dress of DR.. William e. Ramsay and
speakers were Senator Thomas
Brown. County Clerk Bernard M.
Cannon and Arthur A. Quinn, presi-
dent of the New Jersey State Feder
alton of Labor.
The affair got under way short
ly before o'clock when the dinner
was served. Prior to that the candi-
dates who have filed their petitions
to date, gathered with the voters i'll
little groups and held short confer
ences. During this time, music was
furnished by Johnstone's orchestra.
About 500, according to the commit
tee, took dinner. Although the men
outnumbered the women present, the
women Democrats were fairly we'll
represented.
Att"AAS fTet1OiucTS
John W. Kelly, president of the
New Democratic Club. was the mas
ter of ceremonies and after a few
words, introduced DR.. William e.
Ramsay as the principal speaker of
the day. All the speakers were Bit
ter in their remarks concerning the
Board of Freeholders and the way
this organization has spent money for
the laying of patented paving. DR..
Ramsay in his address recalled the
promises made py the Republicans
last fall, when they were swept into
power and then showed how the peo-
pie had been fooled.
In his speech DR.. Ramsay told of
the results of the Republican govern
ment of the nation, county and city.
He told of the number of men out
of work and how the various mis-
sions in New York and other large
cities are planning for soup houses
the coming winter. He asked the
voters IL they had as yet heard any
thing from the Republicans that
would lead them to believe that that
party can keep its pledges. He spoke
of the peace treaty just recently
signed with Germany and asked that
this was based on the League of Ma
tions, which the Republicans had no
use for at the last election.
The reduction of taxes also was
taken up by DIR. Ramsay and in this
he pointed out how taxes had been
reduced as far as the rich man is
concerned but the poor mans re-
mains the same or is increased. 1T
is not reduction in taxation" de-
clared the doctor, sit is a shifting of
taxation"
AS to the county he told of the
money spent for patented paving
even in view of the fact that con-
crete could be obtained at less
money. The increase of tuberculosis
in the county was strongly brought
out in the address, and showed the
efforts made to have the freeholders
build a sanitorium where these suf-
ferers might be taken care of. The
freeholders had seen fit, however, to
build roads where they are little
used. DIR. Ramsay said he would
like to see the board go Democratic
to such a degree that they would
take care of the public and not
patented pavement concerns.
Unified Promises
DIR. Ramsay spoke briefly of the
untitled promises and misrepresenta-
| tion of the city administration, and
said that the Democrats now have
an opportunity to elect Democrat
aldermen. II do not believe that
any i'll feeling exists in the party to-
day. All are ready and willing to
enter into the fight for success of
the party" were the doctors closing
words.

date, promised. if elected, to stand by

draw for a united candidate.
