EARRING MACHINES,
Republican Stateand County
Committees At Outs Over
the Fall Campaign.

The meeting of the Republican State
Committee was adjourned yesterday
without any decision being reached as to
how the fall cappaign shall be conduct
ed. The JERSEY CITY NEWS yesterday
published an account of the meeting. and
said the object in holding it was to dis
cuss the advisability of the State Com
mittee conducting the fall campaign.
thus ignoring the long established plan
OF not taking part iu elections where no
State or National Office is to be filed.
The Republican leaders actually believe
that their party can elect majority OF
the Members OF Assembly this fall IL the
campaign is properly conducted.
The question which perplexes the lead
ers is, What Is the best method of con-
Quoting the campaign? Some one sought
to solve this conundrum by recommend
ing that the State Committee take
charge.
CUMBERSOME AND WEAK.
This was onjscted TO by many, it heing 2
claimed that the State Committee would
be power.ess TO act except through the
County Committees, aud, therefore, 1t
would make the machinery too cumber-
some. In all elections for Members OF
Assembly the County Committee has,
heretofore been supreme. and that body
interference of the State Committee.
Some of the members of the County
Committee in this county are highly
wrathful that the StateCommiEtee should
seek to interfere In local matters. They
say, with indignation. IF the State Com
mittee could come to us loaded with vic
tory. why we might meet them half way;
but look az the State Committee, what
has il ever done? When has it won
battle?. Who is there that dare TO call it
an Intelligent and honest representation
of the brains of the Republican DarGys
No. sir; we oon'5 want the State Commit
tee to interfere and we wont have it.
THE EVIL POSTPONED.
The discussion yesterday disclosed so
much opposition to the project that it
WAS decided not to take a vote on the
question until the next meeting, whicn
will be held at the Union Lsagae CLUB
next month. Then the question of the
State Committees usurping the powers
of the County Committees will be put TO
vote.
Before the State Committee adjourned
yesterday the appointment of County
Boards of sRegistraeion and election
officers was talked over. This subject
will also come up az the next meeting.
