The Penn's Grove record., 1923-10-12
Democratic Candidate For Assembly

A large and enthusiastic Democra-
tic meeting was held Thursday even
ing in the Club room, 48 West Main
Street. Democrats from Pennsville,
Warrington, Salem and other parts
of the county were present. Mayor
Kidd presided and introduced the
speakers.
Col. D. Stewart Craven, of Salem,
said that Will H. Hay, chairman of
the Republican National Committee
three years ago, promised everything
if Harding and Coolidge were elected.
People have learned since that those
promises have not materialized and
are ready for a change. Because of
those untitled promises, and because
expectations have not been met the
Republican party today is split into
factions and is disintegrating. He
was glad to see such an enthusiastic
organization and meeting as those
present in Penns Grove.
A clean, clear-cut and able ticket
was presented by the Democrats
to the voters in Salem in having
Leon Robbins for Senator, Mrs. Mary
r &C. CLAYTON for Assembly and Robert
w. Kidd for Sheriff, worthy of the
support, not only of every Democrat,
but also the support of every dis
satisfied Republican. With such ad-
mirable, able and trust worthy can
didates he felt sure of their election.
He did not wish all the offices, and
hoped Democrats would vote for the
Republican candidate for Coroner, so
he could take care of the political de-
ceased after election.
Mrs. Clayton told how the women
met the description of bishop who
classed them as angels, who said they
are up in the air, always harplng
and nothing to wear. She said
that they are up in the, air
because they have high ideals to
aspire to. Emerson said, "Hitch your
wagon to a star" Look up and lift up
is a glorious motto. They are harp
ing happier and more joyful story
to get something better and nobler to
live for. That should be the aim of
all. Nothing to wear. Birds with
beautiful plumage are the most at
tractive. Keeping up with the fash
ions with the higher and nobler ideals
is what makes this world better to
live in.
She made a plea for support so that
if elected she could help our good
Governor. George S. Silzer, in his good
work begun and more to follow by
giving back power to the people.
Freeholder Edward Heron, of
Pennsville. said the Governors hands
are tied and he needed a Democratic
legislature. Salem County is the bat
tie ground. There was need OF a break
in the solid Republican list OF county
offices in Salem. He hoped that Up
per Penns Neck and Penns Grove
would take a home pride IN giving
their home candidate for. Sheriff an
old-time Democratic majority, like
thev used to do before the inflow OF
voters during the World War. Penns
Grove has been coming back in the
mast few elections and he believed a
larger Democratic majority would be
given this year. -,
Mrs. A. T. Beckett, of Salem, said
that the Democrats presented in Mrs.
Clsvton's candidate for Assembly the
highest type of womanhood for office
and every woman should take a per-
sonal pride in voting for her. She was
clad the Democrats were the first in
Salem County to nominate woman
for a Legislative office and felt sure
She ought to and would be elected by
the women voters of Salem County.
~ W A. Summerill spoke of the
Worldwide Democracy which Woodrow
wilson advocated for the protection
If weak nations. Upper Penns Neck
and Penns Grove used to give $50
Democratic party before the inflow
If World War powder makers. Many
Renublicans came as bitter, blind par
tisans because they never had the OPP
nortunity to learn otherwise. Since
Seeing and hearing and living among
old time Democrats, whose political
faith dates back to Thomas Jefferson
and Andrew Jackson, they had be-
