FOR
THE COLBYITES
Meetings TO be Held in the Near
Future in Various Sections
of the State.

The following schedule of Colby
meetings throughout the state has
been arranged at the headquarters in
Newark:
Commencing Monday night, July
30th, in Somerville, Somerset county,
the three champions of the Republic
can State League, in the persons of
Senator Everett Colby, Mayor Mark
M. Pagan and George l.. Record, will
repeat their whirlwind week of cam
paign work that was so successful
two weeks ago, and this coming week
promises to be even more strenuous
than the former.
w. W. Rowland, temporary chair
man of the organization in Somerset
county, predicts a big turning out of
the voters on Monday night, and it is
certain that from that date on the
Colby movement will spread rapidly
| throughout the county, and it is hop
ed that the voters will get out on
primary day, Sept. %, and roll up
an overwhelming majority over the
machine candidate and his delegates.
Tuesday night, July 81, will find
the Colby men down in Burlington
county, and a mass meeting will be
held in ~Bordentown, at which Gen.
Il. Burd Grub will preside. 1t is
probable that another meeting will
| be held in the county the same night.
and the speakers will be taken to and
from the meetings in automobiles.
" xArIo+ ,,rO,,fena IN ha IN hucu dow
for the new idea" workers is sched-
uled to be held Wednesday in Cam
! den county. This will be the initial
visit of the Colby people to this IL
ty and George M. Beringer, president
of the Equal Rights Republican par
ty, asserts that the county will make
a showing that will put it in line with
the other counties where organiza-
ton work has been in progress for
several months. !
Three meeting will be held on this
occasion. Camden will be the scene
of the largest gatherings and smaller
affairs will be held in M~erchantville
dates for assembly on the Colby plat
form in Camden county are Joseph
r. Imhoff, of Winslow, George A.
IlWaite, of Camden, and Joseph X.
Graw, of Camden. These men will
avail themselves of the opportunity of
introducing themselves to the voters
under the wings of the champions,
and they have each declared them
selves willing to answer any question
that is put to them on the subject of
their political feeling.
On August I'd, Monmouth county
is going to be the scene of another
lively day such as took place on July
13, when five meeting were held in
the afternoon and two in the eve
ming. On this occasion the gathering
of the Colby clan may be in Point
Pleasant, which is close to the bor-
der line between Ocean and Mon
mouth counties. AS on the previous
occasion II of the speakers proba-
bly, Senator Colby, will address a
small gathering of men, women and
children from the plaza of some hotel
or store. 1t may be that he will be
content with a stand on a soap box
or barrel as he was in Keyport. Then
he will jump into his automobile and
go spinning northward along the
shore road, stopping every few miles
or so to tell the people what he wants
them to know and what he wants
them to do. 1t is likely that half a
dozen meetings will be held in the
course of the afternoon.
By the time Senator Colby gets
through with his remarks, Mr.. Record
will come rushing up in his motorcar,
and he will be followed by Mayor Fa-
gan. Other speakers who will be
with these men will be Austin Col
gate, Henry Clay Hines and John S.
Gibson. Two large meetings will
be held in the evening in Long
Branch and Sea Bright.
August 8 will find Senator Colby
and his friends back in their own
bailiwick in Essex county. Three
meetings are scheduled for the eve
ming in Newark, one in the sixth
ward, and another in the iron
y bound" district. The third has not
been arranged for. That night will
bring back memories to the voters
OF Newark of last summer when Sen
! ator Colby was fighting the fight OF
his life against Boss Lentz for the
state senatorship. The last day OF
. this ~eventful week will find the re-
: publican state leaguees in either Pas,
