whose name he did not mention
which resulted in Democrats getting
control OF the city.
In closing, Mr.. Toolan declared
that a motion he was about to make
make would mean that the club
would go more than half way in
meeting the conditions, even though
il Inundated themselves. Mr.. Toolan
then moved that an invitation be
extended to the Democratic City and
County Committee to use the club
rooms for meeting, the door to be
thrown open to the committee and
the use of the hall given gratis.
The resolution was adopted by
unanimous vote.
The city candidates who are
known to be favorable to Cannon
we're conspicuous by their absence.
This fact alone is considered by many
to show that although there may be
harmony among the county candi-
dates it is lacking as far as the city
situation is concerned.
President Kelly in opening the
meeting laid stress on the fact that
the Evening News printed a story
in which it was stated that the club
openly supported some candidates
in the primary. Mr.. Kelly stated
that the ideals of the club are to
stand behind those who have been
successful and had not done one
iota to further or stand behind any
one candidate in the primary. As
a club Mr.. Kelly declared that he
did not believe any one could criti-
else it as having stood behind any
one candidate. Some of the mem
bers may have taken sides with
candidates Mr.. Kelly pointed out,
but as a club, no.. He said that the
club would stand behind all candi-
dates.
The first speaker OF the evening
was James J. Flynn, candidate for
freeholder. Mr.. Flynn said that
some people ask him how he ex-
poets to get elected when the pres

working on the roads. He declared
he will, if elected, have as
many men on the roads but they
be doing something for the
they receive. He said that
f he and O'Connor are elected the
people of the county will get honest
dealings.
Edward ]. O'Connor, also candi-
date for freeholder, urged open
specifications and personal inspection
all public work. He said he de-
the honor of breaking the
present machine which controls the
Board of Freeholders and that il
the people of the county
would have no cause to regret it.

He pointed out how certain sena-
