The Duquesne Times, March 20, 1914 Duquesne Democracy Takes On New Life The Democratic party of Duquesne, of which little as been heard in recent years, has donned its war paint and will resume operations at the approaching primaries. Of late years the enrollment of Democratic voters in Duquesne has been reduced to 40 and of these some seventeen were in attendance at a meeting last Thursday night in the office of M. G. Conlin. B. McDermott acted as chairman of the meeting, and M. G. Conlin was secretary. It was decided to reorganize and get as many of the former members of the party back into line as possible. The activity of the members of the party since the meeting has been such that some 40 or 50 additional names have been added to the party enrollment in the town, and the party hopes to make a showing in the elections this year. Before the conference of last Thursday evening adjourned the following resolutions were introduced and passed:       Whereas, The work of reorganization of the Democratic party has been wonderfully advanced under the leadership of that noble son of Pennsylvania, A. Mitchell Palmer, in his candidacy for Unite States Senator; also Vance C. McCormick, who has always stood for clean and honest government, State Chairman Roland S. Morris and John A. Martin; Be it, therefore, Resolved, That this meeting indorse and advocates and will support the candidacies of A. Mitchell Palmer for United states senator, Vance C. McCormick for governor, Roland S. Morris for state chairman and John A. Martin for county chairman, knowing that they represent reorganized Democracy and have the best interest of their party at heart. Resolved, That we regret the retirement of our county chairman, Jos. F. Guffy, through whose untiring efforts the party rose from chaos and oblivion to what now promises to be the dominant power in our country and state. Resolved, That s is the sense of this meeting that all the Democrats of Duquesne register as Democrats, thereby demonstrating their approval of the national administration under the guidance of such grand and noble exponents of Democracy as Woodrow Wilson and William Jennings Bryan.
