or pointed out what could be accom-
Tlished IL the Democrats of this city
are organized. He also urged the
| necessity of organizing the women
and getting their votes to the polls.
The wives of the well-to-do go to the
polls and cast their votes. but the
wives of the workingmen, especially
the foreigners. do not register or go
to the polls and a Democratic vic
tory cannot be assured until the
| Democratic women do register and
vote. declared Mr.. Donnelly.
| Mayor Donnelly then showed what
| organization will do for city by

with other cities. Trenton today
through organization has fine parks,
two miles of waterfront, with city

| ganization on the part of the Demo-
Gratis of Trenton.
Continuing his pleadings for good
| organizations Mr. Donnelly declared
| that the Democrats must organize
for the greatest battle they have ever
| had. He spoke of the poor showing
of the Republican Legislature and
said that it would have been better
If they had not met at all.
He said he was deeply interested
in the ship canal across New Jersey
but supposed that the people will
have to wait for congress to get
ready to vote for it.
In closing he said there had been
too much personal stuff in the DEM
ocratic ranks and not enough organ
ization and concerted action. He
| sees success for the Democrats if
they organize and urged Middlesex
county to send Democrats to the as
sembly and senate this fall.

| ing at Maurer on Labor Day. Tickets
