First Gun in Democratic Campaign 
Fired at Manchester Last 
; Saturday. 
The first gun in the Democratic 
campaign in this district was fired 
last Saturday afternoon, when the 
Essex County Democratic club held 
an outing and clambake at Tuck’s 
Point, West Manchester. About 125 
were present and listened to one of 
the greatest arrays of political or- 
ators assembled in Manchester in re- 
cent years. 
Chairman Frank A. Foster of the 
Manchester Democratic town com- 
mittee was in charge of the local 
arrangements. When the gathering 
came to order he extended words of 
welcome and turned the program 
over to John H. Sheedy of Salem, 
president of the club. 
This being the first annual meet- 
ing, an election of officers was held, 
Mr. Sheedy being unanimously re- 
elected president and the other offi- 
cers being re-elected as _ follows: 
Michael F. Phelan of Lynn and Gen. 
William Stopford of Beverly vice 
presidents; John F. Williams of 
Marblehead secretary; and Charles 
‘N. Perley of Danvers treasurer. 
John F. McDonald, chairman of 
the democratic state committee, was 
the first speaker. ‘‘The democracy 
is aroused and when aroused it al- 
\ays means victory,’’ was the key- 
note of Mr. McDonald’s rousing 
speech. 
Charles D. Smith of Gloucester, 
urged organization and_ earnest 
work regardless of personal gain. 
He saw a need of a change in the 
office of county commissioners and 
started a boom for Murphy of Pea- 
body. 
Charles B. Strecker of Brookline, 
candidate for state auditor, said the 
election this fall of the entire state 
ticket from the peerless leader, Gov. 
Eugene N. Foss, down would mean a 
government of the people by the 
people and for the people. 
David I. Walsh of Fitchburg, dem- 
oeratie candidate for lieutenant gov- 
ernor, spoke of the work of the last 
legislature and lauded the record of 
Gov. Foss in recognizing the worth 
of every man whatever his walk in 
life. 
One of the most stirring and ve- 
hement speeches of the afternoon 
was delivered by Mayor Cahill of 
Lawrence, who said he was known 
in his home city as the Sphinx of 
city hall, that he was not only prac- 
ticing economy in finance but in 
words. He launched into a descrip- 
tion of the financial and political sit- 
uation of his city, which he likened 
to the fall of Rome, saying that 
wherever a municipality is wrecked

the cause is generally found within 
itself. He declared that in less than 
three months the affairs of Lawrence 
would be straightened out and that 
not only the city’s debts would be 
paid, but there would be a surplus 
in the treasury. ‘‘If there is. any- 
thing in the career of Eugene Foss,”’ 
he said, ‘‘that should redound to his 
credit, it is for refusing to put the 
shackles on an innocent municipal- 
orators P. Riley of Malden said 
he did not claim Gov. Foss to be a 
perfect man and he hesitated to con- 
demn him for not returning due re- 
ward to all those who worked to 
elect him. 
Michael L. Sullivan of Salem an- 
ticipated much pleasure this fall in 
following in the wake of the three 
republican candidates for governor 
and refuting the statements they are 
giving to make it show that Gov. 
Foss is a ‘‘four-flusher.’’ 
William H. O’Brien of Boston pre- 
dicted complete democratic control 
of state offices another year. 
Edward O. Skelton of Boston, 
candidate for secretary of state, de- 
clared his intention of stumping the 
state and enlightening the people as 
to how the influence of Senator 
Lodge and the whole republican 
machine was against the interest of 
the veterans. 
Ex-Senator Schoeffel of Ipswich, 
candidate for state senator, denied 
the published reports that he had 
deserted the ranks of the democrats 
for the republicans. He prophesied 
Gov. Foss’ re-election by 50,000 
majority. 
Frank J. Donahue of Needham, 
candidate for secretary of state, 
spoke briefly in support of his can- 
didacy. Frank C. Richardson of 
Essex, was the last speaker.
