age of our city.
"The Democratic party in the city
of Perth Amboy is united for the
first time in many years. The en-
tire organization has urged me to be-
come candidate for the office. For

Adopt Anti Khan Plank

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Aug. 26.-The
Democratic party of Ohio in state
convention today adopted as it's plat
form declaration on the Ku Klux
Klan, the pronouncement of its ma
tional standard bearer, John w.
Davis in his recent sea Girt, n. j.,
speech.
The plank said:
whenever any organization, no
matter what 1t chooses to be called,
whether Ku Klux Klan or any other
name, raises the standard of racial
or religious belief as test of fitness
for public office, 1t does violence to
the spirit of American institutions
and must be condemned by all who
believe in American Ideals"
Anti-Klan leaders expressed the
belief that they would succeed in
having the resolutions committee
formally approve the proposed Klan
plank and recommend its adoption
by the convention.
The resolutions committee had
approved the anti-Klan plank by a
vote of eleven to seven. There was
general cheering when the secretary
read the plank before the conven-

Crate was slightly cut about the
face by flying glass. Considerable
