Grantwood.
In addressing the meeting Mr..
Whitmore briefly stated the purposes
and objectives of the organization.
His address follows:
Brother Jeffersonians: We have
gathered tonight to organize a JEFF
fersonian Democratic Club in the
! Borough of Cliffside Park, under
which title it is proposed that this
! club shall be known and operated
| The organization plans not to be a
group mustered purely for political
| purposes in and about election time,
but one of our proposed objectives
| is to function the year round. 1t is
! hoped that the doors of our clubroom
shall be open nightly, SO that men,
| bers may congregate, if they so de-
| sire, to discuss and thrash out ques-
| tions imminent in our community.
We hope to bring active Democratic
members of this community into our
| organization, and it is our intention
! that all members shall be staunch
and true to Democratic principles.
The officers of our club shall con-
| sist of a president, who shall have
power to appoint committees for the
| proper conduction of our business,
| as we'll as vice-president, treas
! rrer and secretary. 1t is proposed
that this club hold regular monthly
meetings, at which time all questions
pertaining to the good and welfare
! of the community shall be discussed,
and the questions, if necessary, be
| taken up at our regular town meet
| ings.
One of the objects of the organiza-
| ton will be to interest ourselves in
| the qualifications of the candidates
! aspiring as representatives of our
! township, county, state and national
| offices. At our very inception we
state that we are in favor of candi-
dates who are qualified to fill our
public Office not from political affilia-
tions alone, but for their business
abilities and knowledge Of the work
| that they will be called upon to per-
| form.
| But the personality, or individual
! ism, of the individual, aided by capa-
BILE leaders, in politics shall ever be
before us, and this in substances was
the elementary doctrine upon which
Thomas Jefferson incorporated the
Democratic Party.
