the other schools OF the state that
have over 400 students enrolled will
fall in line.
handicap the larger schools in an
athletic way simply because they are
larger. It Is altogether probable that
the little colleges will take their an
nual defeat this year even under the
new rule, but the freshmen who are
athletically inclined will naturally
flock to the places where they can
play and in a few years the small

Majority OF That Party's Nominees.

Since the defeat OF the Colby movement
in the Republican primaries Of Essex and
other counties in New Jersey there has
been considerable speculation "a to what
the members OF the New Idea" movement
will do in the coming election. Until yes
terday State Senator Everett Colby, leader
OF the reform movement. refrained from
making public announcement OF what he
proposes to do. His silence was inter-
preted by the enemies of the movement he
represents as indicating that he intended
to bolt the Republican nominees. And be-
cause of the circulation Of cam paign stories
rejecting upon his position as a member
of the Republican party and his influence
with those who ave followed him in his
fights against the party machine, Mr.. Colby
decided to make public announcement OF
what he Intends to do, which he did in this
statement:
aWe made our fight in the primaries "a

CONE TO FIGHT HEARST
Assemblymsn Campbell Predicts Great
Bryan Vote for Hughes.

Assemblyman Charles Campbell, who was
elected on the Hearst ticket in the Thirty
fourth district Of this county last year, left
the headquarters of the Bryan Democratic
Leagle in the Hoffman House last night
at the solicitation Of Bryan Democrats up
the Sta'e TO explain the attitude OF Mr..
Hearst toward the State and national De-
mocracy. Before leaving Assemblyman
Campbell said:
Those who followed the fortunes Of Mr..
Hearst in the last Mayoralty contest were
the same element that had stood with Mr..
Bryan in 1896 and in 1900, and are still sus-
tanning him. They never wavered in their
allegiance to Mr.. Bryan, for the reason
that he had always proved loyal TO the
principles ne advocated. Had Mr.. Hearst
done the same they would nave been AZ
loyal to him, therefore he has DC one to
thank but himself for his ostracism by his
former associates. There il not the least
doubt in my mind that the Bryan men
in the Democratic party in this state who
will vote against Mr.. Hearst will number
no less than 10000 TO 10000, and l con-
slider this q safe estimate and the one vital
factor that will determine the election"
