NEWARK, Nov. %, 1905. Plans
have been laid by supporters of Lathrop
Anderson, who has been named to run
against Major Carl Lentz for Chairman
of the Republican County Committee
to begin an active campaign and to keep
it up until the day Of the annual meet
ing Of the county committee, December
%. The Colby men think there is luck
in threes and THAT they will be able to
win out in the fight for Mr.. Anderson,
which will complete the mystic number
of battles that have been fought by
them. After winning at the primaries,
they won the election, and now they are
seeking to win the county committee
craftsmanship.
Mr.. Anderson has made arrangements
by which he will be at the Colby head
quarters in the Scheuer building every
afternoon at A o'clock to meet with his
workers and to consult them in regard to
further plans for making the campaign
successful
In view Of one of the plans adopted
the Post Office may have to put on an
extra force Of carriers on duty, for the
Anderson mems idea is to start sort of
endless chain of letters to Chairman
Lentz, from voters throughout the fcoun-
ty telling him to retire.
The plan has been concocted by As
semblyman- elect VILLAIN P. Martin and
Mr.. Anderson. Letters were prepared and
were sent out yesterday, SO that within
few days the Major and Secretary
John Flavell may have to get an extra
force Of clerks to open them at county
headquarters,
The plan is for each recipient of let
ters from Mr. Martin and Mr.. Anderson
to write the Major advising him to quit,
and then to write to ten of his friends
to write the Major also and continue the
chain: a form for the letter to the Major
was suggested, and so as not to make the
labor on him too great, it was made
brief.
It is as follows:
"Major Carl Lentz, Halsey and Acade-
my streets
s'Dear Sir:-It seems to be the opinion
Sof many Of the Republican voters of our
county that it would be advisable at the
present time to have change in the
office Of chairman of the county COM
mittee, Yours respectfully,
The letter that was sent out by Mr..
Martin and Mr.. Anderson was as fol-
lows
"Dear Sir:-The chairman of the Re-
publican County Committee seems to be
of the opinion that his retention in Of
fee is desired by majority of the Re
publican voters, and that aside from his
personal wish to continue in this office
he owes duty to them to resist all eff
forts to elect any one to succeed him.
He evidently had not been enlighten-
ed in the matter as the rest Of us were
during the recent campaign.
"Will you, therefore, address a COM
nlunication to hini expressing your
views, and also ask ten of your friends
to do likewise, and will you further re-
quest ten of their friends to take like
course, and so produce an endless chain
of communications from the Republican
voters Of the county to the present chair
man.
II enclose a form; if you approve
| please sign and forward to Major Car
Lentz. corner of Halsey and Academy
streets.
Yours very truly.

Chairman
