terfere with their plans, I think that 1t
can be amicably arranged so that they
are placed in control of the next county
convention continued Colonel Dickin-
son smilingly, as If the very thought of
such a proposition amused him. They
can have everything their own way. They
can nominate their own candidates and
suggest and adopt such amendments to
the constitution as they deem necessary.
In short, it can be so arranged that they
can be placed in absolute control of the
entire machinery I don't think anybody
will interfere with them
when the time arrives for the elec-
tion of members to the County Commit
tee, these reorganization men can keep
their forces together and elect their own
men to the committee. Now, don't you
think that these men ought to be satis-
fed with such proposition? What more
could they expect. If they think they
can do anything more than we are will
Ing to do for them, let them go ahead.
Don't stop. That is my advice
HE DEFENDS WOOLLEY AND
GuISTO.
Dissatisfaction exists because Mr..
Woolley has been placed at the head of
the county organization, and also because
you recognize Guisto's leadership in Ho-
boken,'' said the reporter
They are both good men, and see no
reason why any fault should be found
with them," replied Colonel Dickinson. II
don't think that a better man than Mr..
Woolley could be found, or, indeed, one
who could fill his place acceptably He is
an To bar orIr;,
loyal Republican and who has the partys
interest always at heart.
I'm regard to Mr. Guisto, he is another
hard worker. He has nothing to do with
the upper section of Hoboken, where the
dissatisfaction seems to exist We regard
him as leader in the First and Fourth
wards-the lower section of the city. He
has nothing to do with any other section.
don't see why these two men should be
re'esated TO the ranks to accommodate
few disgruntied men. I regard both men
as true, Woodworking Republicans, and
the right kind of men in the right places.
That IS all have to say about that ques-
tion.''
THE HOBOKEN MAYORALfY.
In regard to the Stuhr question, will
say that I opposed Mr.. Stuhr's nominal
ton for Mayor for an excellent reason
continued Colonel Dickinson. MIR. Stuhr
took an active part in the campaign
against Governor VOORHEES, last fall and
supported the Democratic nominee. Why
should his nomination be indorsed by the
Republicans. I had no other interest in
the Hoboken campaign except that had
opposed Mr.. Stuhr's Endorsement by the
Republicans. l did not care what man
was nominated If he was Republican.
did not oppose any Republican who
sought or wanted the nomination for
Mayor. l believe that any Republican
could have secured it by the mere ask
ing.
Colonel Dickinson denied that he had
opposed Mr.. Baldwin's nomination, which
was suggested to him by Pos tmastar
Schroeder. He said he did not remember
that Schroeder had ever spoken to him in
regard TO the matter.
If Mr.. Baldwin had sought or asked for
to him. said Colonel Dickinson. land l
beive he would have received the nom
nation If he had asked for it,
Colonel Dickinson said that the talk of
reorganization put him in mind of the
story of the old Scotchman whose wife
went wrong in the household.
Dickinson inuiringly. well, this old
scotchman received SO many beatings
that one day one of his neighbors asked
him why he did not retaliate. oh that
is nothing replied the Scotchman, it
amuses her but don't hurt me-
Colonel Dickinson laughed heartily over
his story, and the clerks in the office who
overheard joined in the chorus.
