DenOunces the Bosses.
He denounced the committee sys-
tenn in the legislature as the mean
by which the bosses sold the power
they held over the legislators.
I'VE charge that every one of the
bosses is selling out the republican
party for dollars in his pocket" he
declared. ut is not possible to eradi-
cate corruption and stop the corpora
lions unless you go to the primaries
on September %. Whether you are
a democrat or a republican go to the
primaries. If you believe in us and
our ideas vote for the three candi-
dates who will be nominated on the
Colby ticket"
Minute instructions we're given by
the speaker for voting the primary
ticket. He said every man on the
Colby ticket would be pledged to di-
rect elections of United States sena-
tors. This declaration was loudly
applauded. The candidates would
be pledged to reform the law by
which the sheriffs now select the
grand jury and to abolish the COM
mittee system in the legislature.
Then he added:
I'VE are going to fight the corrupt
machine in every corner of this state.
We have declared war on the leaders.
We say they r not republicans. We
say they are Hessians, paid hirelings
of the corporations. You have got
to be with us or you have got to fight
us. 1t is in the interest of the whole
people of New Jersey that you help
us. 1t is your aus and not ours.
We don't want the paltry salaries at
tached to any positions to which we
might be appointed. Somebody has
got to make the fight in your interest
and 1t is for you to go to the primar-
les on September 25."

has been an Independent republican
for years. When he declared for the
Colby cause "Boss" McDermott threa-
tened to have him removed from his
position, and Stokes made up his
mind the meeting would be held in
the most public place. The court
house steps seemed to afford the OPP
%portunity Stokes required, and he
arranged to have the meeting there.
For half an hour after he drove into
the town Senator Colby held a levee
and was introduced to every man
within sight. When he was ready to
address the meeting Stokes arranged
with the janitor of the court house
to ring the big bell in the tower,
and the effect was to attract hundreds
to the little park in front of the
building. Before the senator had fin
ished several of the speakers who
followed him drove up and were
cheered.
At Eatontown there was a crowd
gathered on the piazza of the princi-
pal hotel, and all the speakers started
together, as the last leg of the run to
Red Bank was to be made from there.
As the four automobiles left the
crowd cheered and applauded.
Red Fire at Red Bank.
Red fire burned in front of Red
Banks town hall and fireworks con
tributed to the enthusiasm that was
aroused by the visit of Senator Colby
and his fellow workers. In this sum
mer resort political meetings do not
usually arouse more than ordinary
interest, but the meeting tonight will
be remembered as the biggest ever
held in the old town hall.
From the time F. H. Cook called
the gathering to order there was moi
a listless moment. One of the inter
esting points of the meeting was the
announcement that w. H. Barnard
of Long Branch, would accept the
nomination for assembly If the voters
of Monmouth county thought he was
acceptable. He made the first speech
of the evening. He was halfback or
the Princeton team of 1896, the
champions of that year.
In his speech Barnard told how he
had been nominated for a minoi
office when he came out of college
and had been defeated because he re
fused to promise to do the bidding o.
the bosses. This treatment had turn
ed him against machine politics a
the outset of his career in politics. |
was the same tactics which had made
it necessary to start the reform move

The usual order of things was re
versed by George l.. Record speak
ing before Senator Colby. RecorC
said things were so bad that some
thing had to be done at once. 1t haC
taken three years to get an equal tai
law that should have been passed
