NEWARK, Sept. IA, 1905.--The Es-
sex County Republican convention was
held in the Kruger auditorium at New
ark last night. and it was all for the
Colby men. William P. Martin presided.
John s. Gibson nominated Everett Colby
for State Senator and he was elected by
unanimous vote.
The nomination was the sequel to
crushing defeat administered by the
young West Orange independent and his
following. mostlysof young and active
men, to the Essex County Republican
machine and Major Carl Lentz, its
leader
The defeat was all the more crushing
since it was entirely unexpected by
Major Lentz and his lieutenants. They
were prepared to see the townships and,
smaller municipalities divide their dele
gates among the Lentz and Colby fac
tions, but were utterly unprepared for the
tremendous inroads made upon the ina
chine strength in some Of the best or
ganized wards in Newark.
The strong men the machine put for
ward as opponents of Colby for the SEN
atorial nomination in the Newark wards
We're all bowled over by the popularity
gained by the West Orange man and the
strength of public sentiment for his dec
larations of principles. Delegates pledg-
ed to Senator ]. H. Bacheller in the
Eighth Ward; to City Attorney Malcolm
MacLear. in the Eighth; to John. B.
wood. in the Eleventh and to Edward E.
Gnichtel, in the Thirteenth Wards, We're
beaten out by the Colby tickets.
1t was not until I o'clock Tuesday
night that the total vote was counted
In the Fifteenth Ward, where race preju-
dice between the Italian and American
Republicans was strong, the long tickets
were cut so much that it required
twenty-five hours to count the tallies for
each of the 10 candidates for delegates
and ward offices. The total vote for
the Colby and Lentz candidates in New
ark was nearly equal, the Lentz forces
winning out by small margin. The fig
ures were: Lentz, II, 1O6; Colby, II ,097.
In the rest of Essex County the Colby
vote ranged from two to five times that
cast for the organization candidates. The
sweep was clean enough almost to be
made unanimous Colby wen everything
in all the Oranges, in Montclair, Bloom
field, Belleville, Irvington, Glen Ridge
and Essex Fells He won Eve of seven
IN Nutley. He lost only AIillburn. Cald-
we'll Township, Caldwell Borough and
Verona.
Major Lentz congratulated Mr.. Colby
on his victory yesterday and informed
the victor that he would not encounter
any opposition in the convention.
Last night Frank a. Sommer. of New
ark, was nominated for sheriff, and Ed
ward H. Perry, of Orange, got the nomi-
nation for county register.
The nominations for Assemblymen
were: Philip g. Walsh, Jr., Henry Clay
Hines, Russell NJ. Everett, John r. Lee,
William p Martin, John X. Knorr and
Albert G. Pedrick, of Newark; Austin
Colgate, Of Orange; George $. Scribe, Of
Irvington; William Fellows Morgan, of
Short Hills, and Charles r. Underwood.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. IA, 1906.
There were 500 New Jersey fremen
present at the opening session Of the
twenty eighth annual convention of the
State Firemen's Association, which
opened on the steel pier yesterday morn
ing. Mayor Stoy welcomed the visitors
A clash over the admission of the del
egates from the paid fire department of
Atlantic City was averted by the ere
dental committee, which, on the recon-
mendation of Counsel William A. Cot
ter, of Newark, decided that the dele
gates should be admitted to the sessions
by courtesy pending necessary changes
in their application for charter as a
member of the state association, to give
them proper standing in the organization.
In his annual address, President Bird
w Spencer paid high tribute to the
memory of John McKernan, late treas
urer of the association, who died during
the year. Mr.. Spencer also touched
upon the subject of the proposed ma
tionafbill for regulation and control of
insurance companies, assuring the dele
gates that United States Senator Dry
den. father Of the bill, had assured him
that the measure should not be allowed
to affect the payment of the two per
cent. tax levied by the state on insur
ance companies for the support of the
6remen's association r
This matter was also alluded to in the
report of the executive committee. whica
promised to look after the bill to prevent
IFS affecting the State law.
The report of the executive committee
took up in detail the work of the com
mittee and of the legislative branch to-
wards securing TO the fremen Of the
State the exemption from taxes, declared
unconstitutionanby the courts. Mr.. Cot
ter, who presented the report, told of the

soSfar as Is known Col DiekiRson did
not send telegram to Newark. If be
did it was probably addressed to Maj.
Lentz, and instead of being congrat-
ulatory message was one of condolence.
Colby's success means the downfall of
Maj. Lentz as Political leader and it
also means the lessening Of Col. Diekin-
sons influence in State politics. With
the aid of Colby in the event of bis elee-
tion as Senator, Mayor Pagan will loom
up more prominently than ever. George
L. Record is credited with having en-
ceuraged Colby to make the 6ght against
the Lentz machine, and the charge that
the Colby platform. was prepared BY the
jersey City Corporation Counsel has
never Been denied.

The Jersey City news., 1905-09-14

John ]. Heavey and the men who man
aged his campaign will have conference
tonight, when, it is expected, Mr. Hea-
vey will explain his position regarding
the political situation. Alexander simp-
son, james Mcbride and one pr two
others who attached themselves to the
Heayey movement for the purpose of air
ing their grievances against Robert Da-
Wis and the Democratic organization, will
make strong efforts to induce Mr., Hea-
vey to abandon the party of which he
has been loyal member for many years
and seek election to the Office of Sheriff
on an Independent ticket. 81
The Jersey City news., 1905-09-14

Itsis not to be supposed for minute
that Mr. Heavey has any such intention
or desire Among his supporters were
many Democrats who honestly believed
he was the most available man at this
time for the nomination and to these he
will llpfobabIy listen rather than to the
men who have no interests in either Mr..
Heavey's future or the Democratic party.
Joseph Farmer was one of Mr.. Heslvey's
most loyal supporters. He has no griev-
ance against the Democratic organization
and it is understood that he will aldyise
against the proposed plan of Simpson
and Mcbride to have Mr.. Heavey head
an Independent movement. He is satis-
fed, as are all others of Mr.. Heavey's
friends. that he made as good showing
as was possible under the circumstances,
and that he met defeat simply because a
majority of the Democrats of the county
are in sympathy with the party organiza-
ton.
The Jersey City news., 1905-09-14

Colby's election to the Senate viii be
as displeasing TO Col. Dickinson as it
will be to Mai. Lentz andgt other Re
publican leaders of the State. ~
The Jersey City news., 1905-09-14

1t would be an insult to Mr.. Heavey to
say that he would do anything to further
the interests of the Republican ptlrty
Therefore it may be accepted as fore
gone conclusion that he will cut loose
from Simpson and Mcbride, whose only
motive in urging his candidacy on an in
dependent ticket is to bring about a dis
ruption of the Democratic party.
The Jersey City news., 1905-09-14

Mr.. Heavey can have no fault to find
with the treatment accorded him. 1t is
doubtful if there is another man III the
county who could have put up better
fight against the organization. Natur-
ally he is disappointed. but there is no
reason why he should carry his fight be-
yond the primaries. He had his chance
and lost. Now it is his duty as loyal
Democrat to bow to the will of the ma
jority. The Democratic party needs such
men as Mr.. Heavey and at the sans
time il can well afford to get rid of such
men as Simpson and Nc cBride.
