is THE REFORM MAN SINCERE
WHY DID HE BACK AND FILL IN
HIS TREATMENT OF MAJOR
LENTz?--WHAT ARE HIS RE
LATIoNs TO THE MACHINE?

Alderman Thomas A. Davis, of Or
ange. at Montclair meeting, put the
following questions for Colby to answer:
q. If you were sincere and spoke
truthfully about the baseness Of the Re-
| publican machine before the primaries,
why did you go into the love feast in
September and agree to have your cam
paign run by this same machine, headed
| by Major Lentz?
-. If it was not your intention to fol-
low out the agreement of the love feast,
why did you close up your independent
headquarters in the Scheuer building inn
mediately after the love feast?
50. When you afterwards changed
your mind by having Major Lentz CON
duct your campaign, was it because of
your conviction Of the basenesss of the
Republican machine, or was it not on
account of the large number Of letters
