POLITICAL POSITION

Ticket Would be Double Dealing
Is a Republican.

NEWARK, Oct. 31:=To counter
act the effects of Misrepresentation
of his attitude in supporting the reg
ular republican ticket State Senator
Colby yesterday gave out a statement.
in which he says he does not indorse
any straddle on the Bishops bill. hut
will support the majority of the re-
publican assembly nominees because
he is a republican and has made his
fight within the party. The state
ment follows:
I'VE made our fight in the primar-
les as republicans, and for that rea-
son, and no other, | I'M compelled by
the rules of ordinary political hon
esty, to remain in the republican par-
ty and stand for and support a ma
jority of the nominees on that ticket.
That does not mean that | uphold the
attitude of the assembly nominees on
the Bishops law, nor does it mean
that / am in favor of Mr.. Dryden's re.
election.
IF there is any interest as to how
| stand" continued Mr.. Colby, "and
the attempts to misrepresent me and
my attitude seem to indicate that
there is, the people might as well get
it straight. | am going-to vote for
a majority of the republican nomi
nees, not because | believe in the re-
peal of the Bishops bill, because |
don't; not because | believe Senator
Dryden should be reelected, because
| don't, and not because | stand for
Major Lentz, because | don't, but be
Il we hogan the fight within the
party, as the most useful way to
work, and gave our friends to under
stand. that if defeated we would still
remain in the party. We cannot now,
after our defeat in the primaries,
play double with any of our support
ers, even though our attitude does
not meet with the approval of some of
our most loyal friends.
81 shall give credits to the indie
pendent candidates as often as |
scratch the regular republican nomi-
nees."

SENATOR KEAN SEES
REPUBLICAN, SUCCESS
Declares the Ticket Throughout the
State Is Sure to Win Despite the
Usual "0f Year" Vote.

TRENTON, Oct. 31:-United States
Senator John Kean was the most
prominent politician here yesterday
TO attend the last Governors Day
previous to the election. A number
of leaders from all parts of the state
were present, but the crowd was not
as great as it has been on previous
occasions, due no doubt TO the gen
eral feeling of confidence the repub-
licans have in the situation.
Asked for his opinion concerning
the republican prospects Senator
Kean said he was confident that the
party would carry the state as usual
and that the only danger existing was
in the ''off year" apathy of the rank
and file. He said:
If we can get the voters to the
polls we will score u usual victory.
We are certain to win, any way, but
it woul be better If we could get out
the full vote and have an old-time
victory.
The republicans are sure to win in
all counties with the possible excep-

close. Newark may go democratic
but Essex county republican. l am
confident that the republicans will
have a safe majority in the legisla-
ture and that United States Senator
Dryden will be his own successor.
Senator Colby, the leader of the
insurgents, has come out fifth a pub
lie statement in which he promises to
support the regular nominees, al
though he has declined to go on the
stump for the party.
Among the others who attended
the conference at the state house
were: Senator j. G. Horner and
Speaker Samuel X. Robbins, of Bur
lington county; Senator George
Shinn, of Ocean county; Senator Mar
ton B. Hutchinson, of Mercer county;
Assemblyman John Heck, of Bergen
county; Senator Oliver H. Brown, Of
Monmouth. All of them expressed
confidence that their counties werc
safe.

CORRUPTION FUND
LEVY AT CAPITOL,
State House Made to Hand Portion
of Their Salaries to Republican
Leaders Yesterday.

TRENTON, Oct. 31:-Despite the
fact that Governor Stokes has taken
an advanced position on the question
Of bribery at elections, and has ex-
pressed his desire to see it stamped
out, the republican leaders of the
state have chisen to follow the lead of
Quartermaster General Murray and are
fighting their battles as they have
always done"
The annual deduction from the
pay of state house employees was made
yesterday and every republican was
compelled to "hand up" when he re-
ceived his monthly check.
The men who do the cleaning are
assessed a smaller percentage, but
those receiving $1,000 a year and
over must contribute one-half of their
monthly stipends. This is a hard
ship to many of those who live out of
town, for they must buy their COM
mutation ticket out of the amount
left, and the Newarkers in the state
house pay $40 monthly for their
ticket.
One man, when told that he must
contribute, said:
81 thought there was to be no
money used this year,"
He was told that even If there was
no money used there would have to
be contributions in order to keep the
republican organization together.

Monday they had each received few

Thew said that the News publishes
what they most wanted to know

Said one: eff we don'tget the News
we don't know much about what IS
going on in county matters except that
so-and-so gets so much from the coun-

These people have the right OF
things When the News makes a
statement concerning graft or crook

correct. A responsible newspaper
would not be allowed to print it if not

Black River Falls, Wis. Preparatory
work for the great power dam to be
built on the Black river a few miles
above here is being rapidly pushed, and
a crew of fifty men is clearing the 1000
acres that will be flooded. The wood is

miles long.
Work on the dam will begin as soon

trio railroad.
Specimens of the sand and rock from
that point have been sent to Pittsburg

is superior for glass manufacture to
that of Pittsburg, and a glass factory
