Senator Colby was not at all downcast yester-
day afternoon when a Tribune reporter talked 10
him at his Office in the Schern Building. Newark.
In discussing the results OF the primaries he
said:
We Go not look upon the results of Tuesdays
primaries as a failure but rather as victory
for the New Idea forces. One OF the cardinal
principles OF the New Idea is to educate the
people Of New Jersey go TO the primaries and
ex7iess their choice for candidates and leaders
and when you look at the large number of Re-
publicans who went 10 the primaries on Tuesday
you viii see that our campaign has not been
in vain.
Asked if third party had been thought Of
Mr. Colby said:
No; We will abide by the result. The New Idea
men are not seeking Office. but fighting to
compel those in control Of the Republican party
20 take up advanced legislation aud give TO the
citizens Of this state that which IS theirs by
right The result of work is already appar-
ent, and in a year from now viii be more so.
We will continue fight until the Republican
party in New Jersey raises its standard Of legis-
lation. ] think the primaries a whole were
fairly conducted
