The urgent demand for the reorganization OF
the Republican party in Hudson County Is the
direct and inevitable result OF the decadence or
the influence and effectiveness OF the County
Committee Hudson Republicans mindful
OF the days when they won victories against
odds and are therefore the more impatient when
they see the party forces demoralzed and the OPP
position rolling up pluralties which they charge
are due TO weakness in the organization In fall
ing to bring out the party vote and In neglect
ing to put reasonable check upon fraud on
the part OF the opposition. Notwithstanding that
the means whereby such frauds were to be per-
petrated were clearly pointed out before each
election Republicans in Hudson feel compelled.

cogency of facts which cannot be disputed. to
demand and effect a Reorganization OF the
county machinery
Those who speak for reorganization are i'm

which has wrested the State from mercenary
Democratic gangs to strengthen the Repuon-

sible means of betraying the State again
into the hands OF "the same old gang ana Oh
perpetuating reckless and extravagant Demo
cratic rule in Hudson County and in its several
municipalities. Thus It is that the Republicans
in the State come to be interested in an issue
that is primarily local. as on the thoroughness
Of the work OF the party in Hudson may depend

These facts are arousing the patient and long

This is not a mere family affair. as IL Involves
also the question Of the honesty Of elections In
Hudson County. The Tribune unhesitatingly
saws that the pluralities for the Democratic
candidates in recent elections were increased by
reneaters voting on the names OF dead men,
aliens non-residents and absentees This Is
met by the same old bluff. The Hoboken Oo-

the charges seeks TO arraign The Tribune Tor
making the facts public. and suggests that the
Grand Jury get at the man who wrote Inc
