Middlesex county Democrats,
leaders, friends of leaders. and a
host of ordinary voters will pitch
camp at Forest Park tomorrow af-
ternoon for the Democratic rally
chat will formally put ticket into
the field for the primaries which
are fast approaching.
Advance estimates of the proba-
Bile attendance range close to the
5000 mark and the outing will be
held whatever the weather. Rain
or shine, MiddleseX county's Demo-
cratic standardbearers will convene
of Forest Park. near Highland
Park to fire the first guns of the
coming campaign, expected to be
the warmest in years.
For the first time in many cleo
tions Middlesex has the Democratic
gubernatorial aspirant. Judge Sill
zer's native heath is Metuchen and
about him will pivot the cutting. The
fact that Senator Runyon's strong
hold is in the neighboring county
disturbs the Democrats not a whit,
from all reports, and mere Re-
publican candidate for the same Of
flee will be as nothing in the eyes
of MiddleseX followers of the Sill
Zer standard.
While hoping for fair weather
nothing will stand in the way of the
success OF the outing. In case it
rains, there are enough buildings on
the park grounds to accommodate
a crowd in excess of 1000 people, so
that no good Democrat may fear a
wetting. Numbers are wanted and
II 1,arc will hn nh
ing to all the advance information.
Governor Edwards, seeking the
United States senatorship to succeed
Mr.. Frelinghuysen. the uresent in
cumbent. will be at the gathering
together with Elmer Geran. the
Matawan congressional candidate. In
addition the garden variety of voters
VIII have chance to look over the
various county and local candi-
dates who are in the field this year.
Interest doubtless. will be center
ed around Mr.. Geran for a time at
least. While rumor has put him in
the race for some time past it has
not been until a day or so ago that
the Matawan man formally declared
himself in the race and there are
several questions of exceeding mo-
mem to be settled before peace may
reign supreme in the Democratic
ranks. Chief among the issues will
be the anticipated stand of Mr..
Geran as regards the wet and
dry issue. A statement of policy
from the congressional aspirant will
be heard with the greatest interest
The activities of the outing will
commence at 2:30 o'clock. John E.
Toolan. of this city, is chairman of
the committee on arrangements and
says that a full program has been
set forth. In addition to getting
acquainted with the candidates in
time-honored political form, a clam
bake of unusually attractive propor-
tions is billed.
