REORGANIZATION
BY DEMOCRATS
IN M|DDLESEX
County Chairman Hayes Sug-
geStS Plan to Divide the
County Into Districts
MEETING LAST NIGHT
Candidates for the Different
County Offices Are Heard
Cannon and Ramsay

That q reorganization of the
county is badly needed in the Demo-
cratic party was clearly brought out
last night at a meeting and banquet
of the county committee, held in tine
new Y. M. II. A. hall, in New Bruins
wick.
First mention of the reorganiza-
ton was made when Edward A.
Hayes, county chairman, who pre-
sided, suggested a pan whereby the
county would be divided into var
ious districts. He said that the dis
tricts could be divided equally so
that each would have equal repre-
sentation.
The chairman pointed out that the
committee men and women in each
of these districts could get together
and elect q presideiis or a chairman
each year, and then at a meeting o.
all these leaders the affairs of the
county could be conaucted in sys-
tematic way. He explained that this
system would be far better than the
present arrangement of leaving
everything entirely 10 the county
chairman. which sometimes causes
considerable criticism.
He said also that In the selection
of candidates these leaders or chair
men, of the various districts would
know just who the strongest men
would be for the various offices. Mr.:
Hayes asked for suggestions ana
considerable discussion followed.
Several committeeman, from dl1-
ferent parts of the country agreed
on this plan. A few new sugges-
tions were made. but everyone
agreed that the county organization
was In bad shape and needed re-
organization.
Thomas f. Hagerty. former coun-
ty chairman. in commenting on Mr,
Hayes plan said that he was feartul
of manv difficulties when this new
system was put in practice. lie
pointed out that 1t would be perfect
ly alright t. have the districts
equally represented. by banding two
or three small municipalities to-
gether as one district. but that Is
just where the difficulties would arise
Mr.. Haggerty said 'for instance
South Amboy. Sayreville and South
River were joined together and one
of the three at election time elected
a candidate He said that imme-
diately the other two would object
and ask where the third got the au-
thority to pick the candidate. He
admitted. however. that the small
communities could be banded to-
gether in districts. and said he
thought the idea to be a good one

DAVIS IN NEW
ATTACK ON KLAN
Names Organization in Spe-
CiaI Part of Speech Given
Today at Sea Girt

SEA GIRT. Aug. 22.-Calllng the
Ku Klux Klan by name, John W..
Davis, Dem ocratic presidential nom
inee, declared in an address here
today that this organization or any
other which raises the standard OF
racial or religious preJudices, mus.
be condemned by all those who be-
lieve as / do in American ideals"
Having thus made his own posi-
ton clear, Mr.. Davis expressed the
hope that President coolidge, as the
Republican presidential candidate,
would see fit, 'by some explicit
declaration" to join with him In en-
tirely removing the Kan issue from
the field of political debate.
Mr.. Davis said these matters
"must not be permitted to divert the
attention of the public from the
vital questions now before them and
added that the Klan issue had no
proper part In tins or any other
! campaign.
| The Democratic nominees declar-
alton with respect to the Klan, was
| prepared after his arrival here and
! was made at the conclusion of his
,, set address, the second of his camr
paign.
"There is one other word / wish
| to say. 1t concerns q matter that
has no proper part in this or any
! other campaign and which must not
be permitted to divert attention
from those issues the people must
settle In November by their vote. l
mention 1t now in the hope that l
may dispose of 1t once and for all so
| far as / am concerned.
"Since my arrival in Sea Girt /
have been asked by more than one
person now present in this audience
what views 1 entertain concerning
| the organization known as the Ku
Klux Klan. l am constrained to
think that those who ask this ques-
ton did not hear or have not done
me the honor to read the speech OF
acceptance which I delivered mt
/ Clarksburg on the eleventh of this
month.
"In that speech l took occasion
to declare that nothing would so
utterly destroy our happiness ana
security at home and our dignity
and Influence abroad as the separa-
ton of the citizenship of this coun-
try into discordant groups along
racial or religious lines. L affirmed
my personal belief in the great
guarantees of religious freedom and
: religious toleration Wnlch nave
made this country what 1t is, and l
assert it to be the solemn duty of
every believer in American institu-
tions to oppose any challenge, or
ganized or unorganized, of this sac
red doctrine, under whatever name
or in whatever character 1t might
appear.
at was my purpose to state
these truths in language plain
enough to leave no room for doubt
or misunderstanding of my personal
views, and in terms sufficiently
broad to include any and all forms
of bigotry, prejudice, and tolerance.
on that declaration l stand. If any
organization, no matter what 1t
chooses to be called, whether Ku
| Klux Klan or by any other name,
raises the standard of racial or re-
ligious beliefs the test of fitness for
public office, it does violence to the
spirit of American institutions and
must be condemned by all those
who believe as l do in American
| ideals.

Washington Assured

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-Lack of
official confirmation on the safety of
the American around -the-world
fiiers in Greenland after their S25-
mile hop from Iceland gave little
concern early today to Army and
Navy officials. Communication Off
GERS of both services watched all
night for a direct message from the
aviators. but none had been received
at A. NJ.
Accepting as accurate the press
dispatches from Halifax last night
telling of receipt of a radio report
of the fliers' arrival in Greenland,
officials pointed out that almost all
direct communication from them
since they approached the Arctic
circle had been considerably delayed.

That His Mind Can Be

PETITIONS ARE FILED
Local States Being Formed,
but Several Candidates.
Still in Doubt
PETITIONS ARE FILED

NEW BRUINS WICK, Aug. "a
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear on Assem- blyman Harold Hoff-
man, of South Amooy, to again make
the run for election to the lower
branch of the legislature. 1t was
learned yesterday that number OF
the prominent leaders of the Repub-
lean machine have attempted to per-
suade Mr.. Hoffman to reconsider his
refusal to run for that office. There
seems to be a great deal of doubt
whether or not he will consent to be
the organization choice for the third
place on the ticket, but no stone is
being left unturned to accomplish
that end.
Several of the Republicans who
have announced their intentions OF
running for the various offices yes
terday filed nominating petitions II

ator Morgan r. Larson, of PERTH

manager and the Perth Amboy Trust
company as his depository for funds
Douglas M. Hicks, an attorney OF
this city, who is looked on an one
of the organizations choice for the
assembly, and George S. Applegate,
of South River, who run for re-
election to the board of freeholders,
also filed.
Wilton Applegate, of Prospect
Plains, and Frederick Gebhardt, Sr.
of this city filed their petitions for
the assembly and board of freehold
ers respectively, several days ago.
Petitions by Friday
AS all petitions for state, county
and municipal office must be filed
by next Friday, considerable interest
is being manifested in completing the
local states. Neither the Republicans
nor the Democrats have a complete
ticket and there are possibilities OF
one or more contests for the nom
nations.
Mayor Wilson will likely be un-
opposed at the primaries for the Re-
publican nomination. The Democrats
have not picked a candidate al
though several have been mentioned
and posters booming Frank Dorsey

REYKJAvIK, Iceland, Aug. %
(By The Associated Press) The
American Army world fiiers have
negotiated the hazardous hop from
Iceland to Greenland, arriving safely
last night at Frederiksdal, their goal
near Cape Farewell on the southern
tip Of the Greenland coast.
Lieutenant Lowell Smith, COM
mander of the flight, landed at 6:10
p. M. and Lieutenant Erik Nelson
at 7:15.
The airmen left here at S:15
o'clock Yesterday morning. No word
has been received as to the landing
of the Italian aviator Lieutenant
Locatelli. who accompanied them on
the flight
weather conditions in the early
stages of the flight were favorable
with good visibility and a helping
wind, but as the airmen neared
Cape Farewell at the southern tip
of Greenland. they had to cut their
way through a mist and drizzling
rain.
The American fliers. VIM
ing their way yesterday after
noon and evening from ReykJavik,
Iceland, to Frederiksdal, Greenland,
where they arrived last night, passed
the United States cruiser Richmond
and the United States destroyers
Reid, Billingsby, and Barry on sched-
uled time. according to a message
from the Barry.
: In the mist. they apparently
missed the United States cruiser
Raleigh, which was stationed off the
cape, and which reported that she
had not sighted the fliers.
Previously the Richmond, Reid,
billingsby and Barry had sighted
them, passing each ship on scheduled
time, and flying low so as to receive
the benefit of the cushioning effect of
the water.

'sIf the fact is that, The paan21S1fs1

III unfit and corrupt men have been

defense that the administration was

II the wounded veteran has been de-
frauded of the care that was his due,
is there any comfort to him in the
fact that congress made lavish APP

Mr.. Davis principal address was

mony, his presence here today drew
crowds from far and near. Special

Italian is Not Mentioned

The messages from the Barry were
sent from the destroyer at $3.50
and $3.50 o'clock yesterday evening
and referred to "the fliers" without
specifically mentioning Lieutenant
Locatelli, the Italian airman. who
left Reykjavik with Lieutenant
Lowell II. Smith and Lieutenant
Erik H. Nelson and who presumably
was accompanying them when they
arrived in Greenland.
A later dispatch from the destroy
er Barry declared that the flash re-
porting the arrival at Frederiksdal OF
Lieutenant Lowell II. Smith and
Lieutenant Erik II. Nelson. did not
mention the arrival of Lieutenant
Locatelli, the Italian aviator who was
accompanying them.
Locatelli, who had flown to Reyk-
javik from Pisa. Italy, in order to
accompany Lieutenants Smith and
Nelson across the Atlantic. was using
faster plane than the Americans
and in the earlier stages of the flight
yesterday had outdistanced his COM
panions.

FORCE BEFORE
ARMS PARLEY
That Is What President Coo
Iidge Believes Is the
Right Policy
CONFERENCE TO WAIT
Thinks Fear of Invasion Must
Be Removed from Rela-
tionS Between Nations
CONFERENCE TO WAIT

PLYMOUTH, Vermont, Aug. 22-
President Coolidge regards the final
settlement of the reparations prob
lem as the paramount world prob
lem. and until the Dawes plan Is
finally put into operation he does not
consider the time appropriate for
the calling of another arms confer
ence.
Fear of invasion and attack must
be removed from the relations oe-
tween European nations, he feels.
Likewise, Mr.. Coolidge thinks In
quiries of foreign nations as to thelr
war debts due this country should
await complete settlement OF the
reparations problem.
Mr.. Coolidge's advisers have sug-
eested to him that the biggest ques-
ton of the day is the international
one, with it's bearing on American
business and the lessening of mill
tary budgets here and abroad. The
President is reported to have been
thinking great deal about the re-
parations question and he Is expect
ed to have something to say further
on that part of his acceptance speech
which touched this phase. He said
then:
Il favor the permanent court and
further limitation of armaments.
am opposed to aggressive war. L
shall avoid involving ourselves IN the
poiitical controversies of Europe, but
i shall 10 what can to encourage
American citizens and resources TO
assist in restoring Europe, win the
sympathetic support of our govern
ment.'
In one quarter 1t was said today
thar he desires to inform France and
Italy as to Americas S attitude on the
war debt, and to remove the impress
SION that the United States Will press
for settlement immediately after
the reparations question has been
adjusted through the operation OF
the Dawes plan. The impression IN
Washington before the President
came up here was that both these
countries would seek a conference
with the American Debt Commission
this fall and accept the terms of
settlement provided in the law as
followed by Great Britain for the
liquidation of the war debt.
President Coolidge does not want
the impression to get abroad that
this government will now press for
terms of settlement, but will leave
the initiative entirely with those
countries.
This government does not wish TO
inject the war debt into the repara-
tions problem, believing that the
questions are not allied. except that
the payment of reparations will per-
mit all countries allied in the war
with this country to arrange in due
time for paying their American
debts. It has been thought that
debts discussions mere might injure
the reparations developments and
the President may explain the gov
ernment's position on the debts for
its effect on Europe. He is willing
to make concessions as to time, put
he is opposed to any change in the
policy laid down by congress.
