WILL FIGHT
WITHIN PARTY LINES
In Formal Statement Declares Plan
to incorporate New Idea PFinci.
Piles In Republican Platform.

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 28.-The re-
flute reports that he was willing to
make a bargain with the regular re-
publican machine, which won the pri-
mary election contest, Tuesday, May
or Mark M, Pagan, Of Jersey City,
made the following statement last
night regarding his position and the
plans of the independent faction of
the republican party in Hudson coun-
ty: a4if
81 deem 1t wise to make a public
statement to correct certain misap-
prehensions which | find exist In ref
erence to the political situation. ]
wish to make it perfectly clear in the
first place that the fight which we
have been waging has been made
and will be made within party lines.
| We are all republicans and intend to
act as such. There will be no at
tempt made on our part to run an in
dependent ticket, nor will we attempt
or consent to make any trade or COM
promise.
"This is a fight on our part to in
corporate certain principles into the
platfor mand creed of the republican
party, and by that mean to enact
those principles into the statute law
of the state. We believe that we can
soonest accomplish that result by act
ing within the republican party. To
that end we will urge our delegates
to go to the county convention and
the city convention, and there TO
make a fight to incorporate into the
party platform the principles for
which we fought during the primary
campaign and to obtain the nomina-
ton of men who are committed to
those principles.
Failing to accomplish this result
in the conventions now to be held, we
shall go on with the fight until we
succeed in having these principles
adopted as the platform of the party.
II desire also to that we
have already perfected plans for
making a fight to obtain control OF
the county committee at the Deem
Der party primary. In pursuance Of
that plan our friends in every part of
the country will go to the enrolment
places tomorrow and enroll all the
republican voters in their respective
wards and townships. / earnestly
urge all republicans in every part OF
the county to go in person to the en-
rollment places Friday evening and
have their names placed upon the re-
publican enrolment. so that they can
be qualified to take part in the De
cember primary.
"All republicans should under
stand that they cannot vote at the
county committee primary in Decem-
Der unless their names are now plac-
ed upon the enrolment list, and that
the fact of participating hi the pri-
mary last Tuesday does not qualify
republicans to vote In the county
committee primaries In December I'M
less they enroll tomorrow.
I'VE have no reason to be cast
down at the result of the primaries
Tuesday. We have carried seven of
the twelve wards for our local candi-
dates, and we have a large majority
or the republican populaf vote tnat
we cast in the primary in our favor,
and in addition we are now assured
that a majority of the delegates In
the ninth congressional district will
vote for the nomination of James w
Mccarthy. We have heard from our
workers in every part Of the county,
and are gratifed to find that they arc
all ready to go on with renewed vlgor
to continue the fight for the triumph
Of u principles.
"Our friends everywhere a rest
assured that the fight for these prin-
ciples will be carried on vigorously
and consistently. and that no dickei
or trade will be entered into In any
one of the conventions.
HMARK M. PAGAN"
