A meeting of about thirty Demo-
cratic workers from various sections
of this city was held in the Offices of
John f.. Toolan at ia Smith street
last night, for the purpose of organ
izing a Perth Amboy Democratic
club. Plans were made for meet
ing in the near future when per-
manent Democratic club will be or
ganized, officers elected and other
incidents necessary for the organi-
zation of a regular political club will
be carried out.
Representatives from every ward
in the city were present, and all
present agreed to call another meet
ing in the near future for the pur-
pose of organizing a general Demo-
cratic club. For ..thes.5past several
months those interested in the DEM
ocratic party have talked over the
possibility of reorganizing club
made up of the members of the
party, but no step forward was
taken until last night. 1t is said the
purpose of the meeting was not to
attack the leadership of the party.
but to perfect the organization.
A committee was appointed to
make final arrangements for meet
ing of all the Democrats of the city,
at which time the club organization
will be carried out This committee
will decide when and where the
meeting will be held. John w. Kelly
was chosen temporary chairman of
the gathering which met last night,
and John T.. Toolan was made tenn
porary secretary. These offices will
be held until the regular meeting is
called and a regular staff of officers
is chosen.
At last nights meeting, reports
say, everyone present was enthusi-
a,tic about the chances of the party
this year, and all present appeared
ready to work in harmony.
Alderman John Clark of the fifth
ward, Alderman Thomas Patten of
the third ward, John White, presi-
dent of the City Committee, Richard
White, County Clerk Bernard M.
Cannon, former Mayor Frank Dor
aey or Senator Thomas Brown were
not present at the meeting last night.
City Committee to Meet.
John White, president of the city
committee, announced today that
there will be a meeting of the DEM
ocratic City Committee in Odd Fell
lows hall on Tuesday night. 1t is
possible that the DemocCatic Club,
which was organized sometime ago.
but which practically has been out
of existence since the last election,
may be revived at this meeting.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing about the sending of no.
tices for last nights meeting. the
notices stating that a meeting of
the city committee was to be held.
JChn White is the only person en-
Il % fino ~
comnittee. it is said.
County Clerk Cannon when ques-
tened this morning about last
nights meeting. stated that he did
not know anything about it.
