stone futile said he Is making this
fight for the party nomination be-
cause he believes the rank and file
of the Democratic party has no de-
sire to AXE a car1i' , no is the
Rersonal choice of one man.
The Democrats of New Jersey
do their W thinking" declared the
candidate. They are not interested
in furthering the plans of any lead
er or boss who has the desire to
dominate the party. What l find in
Mercer county is a strong spirit of
independence and l may say hat in
my travels in this campaign up and
down the state the same atmosphere
pervades the ranks of the party"
Campaign Manager Dobbins de-
clared that futile has been one of
the staunchest Democrats in Union
county. Dobbins is county chairman
in that place.
"All this talk about organization
as a means to stop the candidacy of
Mr.. futile is mere camouflage to
becloud the ISSUE" he declared.
futile is as god an organization
man as there is to be found in New
Jersey. Union county is a stro..g
Republican county. For years our
party regularly was defeated. Yet
all during that period of discourage
ment William E. futile was TOLL, 6
in the party trenches. He served
for fifteen years as a member of
the county committee. He was later
elected it's chairman and whenever
there was money needed for the
campaign, Tuttle was always among
the best donators.
"All over the state Democrats are
taking up the cause of Tuttle be-
cause they know he is the strongest
man we can nominate. This vas at
tested when he turned the Repub-
lican Fifth District into the Demo-
cratic column when he twice defeat
ed Senator Runyon for congress.
The Tuttle state headquarters an
nounced hat every county in the
state is being organized for the pri-
mary election. All men and women
m the Democratic ranks who are de-
ISirous of aiding in this contest with
in the party ranks are being re-
quested to file their names at the
headquarters either by telephone,
mail or person.
