The Strong machine" has it with
in its power to nomipate Senator
Jackson if Strong so desires, but it
cannot be done by unanimous vote,
and, what is more, these twenty-four
delegates will be present at the con-
vention as a constant reminder that
there are hundreds of good republi-
cans in this county who are not only
opposed to Strong's methods, but are
absolutely against the denomination
of Senator Jackson. The renominat-
ing of that man will make it impos-
sible to unite the republican party
at the approaching election.
With Jackson as the candidate,
Senator Dryden stands an excellent
chance of losing a vote for his return
to the United States senate. With a
man for the senatorial candidate in
this county who is less easily handled
by the bosses and corporations, the
republicans will have a good chance
Of success.

DRYDEN'S CANDIDACY.

Here are strong words from a
staunch republican newspaper, the
New York Press, on the result in the
New Jersey primaries:
1.-THE failure of Senator Colby to
storm the intrenchments of the Dry
den machines in New Jersey does not
mean that there is no demand by the
voters of his state for the reforms
which he has urged. 1t means that q
system which can call upon demo-
cratic achievements to carry reoub-
lican primaries dies hard. 1t does
not mean that Dryden should have
the nomination for United States SEN
ator, any more than the result of the
New York primaries meant that Gov
ernor Higgins should be renominated.
Dryden cannot persist in his at
tempt to return to the senate without
shaking the republican party of New
Jersey on the foundations which ma
chimes cannot buttress with the dem
ocratic aid of the primary sort-the
foundations which stand only on the
votes of the general public. Just as
much as on last Tuesday morning the
candidacy Of Dryden threatens the
loss of the state of New Jersey by the
republican party. And, indeed, there
be more honor to the republic
cans of New Jersey, and more benefit
to their party to lose the state and
end the senatorship of Dryden than
o carry it and %perpetuate the abomi-
nations of the Dryden system in pub
ic affairs"
