ADDRESSES DEMOCRATS
Meetings to be Held Tonight
Here, in Woodbridge and
South Amboy

The platform of the Democratic
party as adopted at the state con-
vention in Trenton on Tuesday was
endorsed last night at the meeting
of the Democratic City Executive
Committee at which all committee
women and committeeman were
present. During the session there
were several speakers. among them
being County Chairman Edmund A.
Hayes Of New Brunswick. and John
X. Sheehy. Democratic candidate
for mayor. The resolution endors-
ing the platform was introduced by
Alderman John ]. Clark, who is
running for alderman in the fifth
ward.
The meeting which was. held in
EOdd Fellows hail was OF special
Importance in view Of the fact that
it was the first meeting to be he'd
after the primary and marked .he
organization of the city executive
committee. The election resulted
in John White being chosen again
as chairman and James Rhodes as
secretary.
Mr.. Hayes in addressing the
meeting declared that every effort
must be made to have every Demo-
crat in the city registered SO that
they may vote. He urged the work
ers to do all in their power to get
out big registration on October II,
which is the last registration day
before the general election.
Mr.. Sheehy gave a very stirring
address on the pledges made by
Mayor William C. Wilson when he
ran for election two years ago and
not one of them had been filled.
Among them were the following;
that the Merritt tract would be
| turned into a park, a new ferry
from this city to Tottenville. a new
railroad station, municipal Fourth
Of July celebration, a skating rink
| at the water works pond and band
concerts.
MI. Sheehy pointed out that the
city did have band concerts. but
that all Mayor Wilson did towards
them was to give them his approval.
The band concerts were made pcs
efforts put forth by the Evening
News and after he himself person
ally canvassed the various mer-
chants of the city and obtained Con-
tributions from them. which as
sured the series of concerts whio h
proved SO popular.
He declared that the milk condi-
tons which confront the city, must
be cleared up and spoke of tie ce-
| lay in the erection of the Hall ave-
nue. school. He said in regard TO
| this matter, that application had
been made for the erection Of tt-is
school two years ago when the sl-
dermen were Republican. but moth
| ing had been done, but now at cleo
ton time Republican city attorney
and mayor have decided that the
school can be built. He wondered
why the sudden change in the opin-
| ion of the mayor and attorney.
Harry Medinets. in short ad-
dress, urged that it is absolutely
necessary, If the party is to be sue
cessful in November, that every
voter be registered and spoke OF the
need for every committeeman and
committeewoman to do their utmost
| to get the vote registered In their
respective wards.
