new IDEA
7 Is NOT DEAD
Meet in Newark and De-
eide TO Keep Up the Fight
Within Party Lines.

Leaders of the New Idea'' held a
conference in the Scheuer building in
Newark yesterday, and discussed plans
for a continuance of the fight against
"bossism" and corporate influence,
which received such a setback at the
recent primaries at the hands of the
regular" republican workers.
There were representatives from
all over Essex county present, and,
apparently not disheartened by the
rout of their forces, the reformers
were enthusiastic in the reports made
from the various districts.
Considerable interest was mani
tested in a summary of the vote at
the recent primary which had been
prepared by statisticians and was
read at the conference. 1t showed
that in Newark the vote cast for the
New Idea men was 1910, while the
REGULARS" polled 11,77S votes.
Outside OF Newark, in the county,
1910 votes were cast for the reform
ticet. as against 5,96S for the reg
ulars." This meant a majority for
the machine leaders throughout the
entire county of 2,596 votes. The
figures seemed to show, 1t was argued,
that the movement was not dead, as
had been said by the machine adj
herents, but, on the contrary, was
stronger than a year ago, when the
regulars" overconfident, did not
make SO strong a fight as at the re-
cent primary.
Gardner Colby, president of the
Essex county branch of the New
Idea" league, presided at the confer
ence, and there were present, besides
the delegates from almost very dis
trict in the county, Assemblymen Col
gate, Hines, Scribe, Sommer, Walsh,
Everett, Roeber and Morgan.
1t was decided that the first thing
to be done in the way of resuming
the fight in earnest was to call a gen.
eral meeting of those in sympathy
with the movement and have some set
plans discussed and mapped out for
work.
The question as to what form o.
meeting should be held was not set
tied upon, but laid over to another
conference, which is to be called soon,
when State Senator Everett Colby,
the father of the movement, can at
tend. He was un~avoidably absent
yesterday.
Many were of the opinion that d
popular priced dinner would be a
good means of bringing the leaders
together. There was SINE discussion
as to finances and it was suggested
that a call be issued to all those who
favor the movement, appealing for
funds, which are to be raised by dol
lar subscriptions.

wants n War to XIII on Toueh..

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Secretary
Bonaparte has received a letter from
a resident Of Louisiana suggesting that
the United States should force "all the
toughs, bootleg desperadoes and bad
characters generally" into a war with
''some vicious nation in order that the
undesirable elements referred to might
be killed off. Secretary Bonaparte in
replying said that as the correspondent
did not give his plan in detail he vas
unable to give a opinion as to its
merits, but he called attention to the
fact that it had been the experience in
war that the percentage of desirable
citizens killed was larger than the per-
centage of bad characters removed by
the casualties of M armed conflict.

LEAGUE men
ARE BUSTED
Declares Independent
NOMINATIONS illegal Wood
ruff Denies Fund Story.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-While the
~gubernatorlal candidates of the Re.
publican and Independence league and
Democratic parties were campaigning
up state there was no dearth of polit.
zeal interest in this city, where g court
decision practically wiped out the local
congressional, senatorial and assembly
ticket of the Independence league.
Reversing the board of elections, the
appellate division of the supreme court
declared the nominating petitions Sc
cured by the league to have been Inn
properly made, in that they were sign
cd for the nominations of candidates
who were to run in overlapping or ex-
tended territory.
The few exceptions to the candidates
stricken off were mostly Of those
against whom no protests had been
made and whose cases consequently
did not come before the court. Many
Democratic candidates were included
in those removed, but all sought a
place under the leagues emblem of
the balanced scales. The leagues ju-
dietary ticket alone remains intact.
The league will carry the matter to
the court of appeals if that body can
be convened in special session.
While the decision directly affects
only the local ticket, some concern was
expressed regarding its possible effect
up state, where, 1t was said, the same
practice In the matter of nominating
petitions may have been followed.
Max r. Ihmsen, manager Of the cam
paign of William r. Hearst, made a
statement. in which he charged that
Postmaster General Cortelyou had
come to New York to show Chairman
Woodruff of the state Republican COM
mittee how to raise an enormous cor
ruption fund.
Mr.. Woodruff promptly issued a de-
NAL Of the accusation.
Charles =. Hughes, Republican nomi-
nee for governor, addressed large au-
diences at Bath and Corning. William
II. Hearst. the Independence league
and Democratic candidate, went to AL
bany, speaking in that city and at
Troy and Cohoes. Big crowds vel
coined him.
Nowhere in his several up state cam
paign trips has Mr.. Hearst had a more
enthusiastic welcome than that which
he received at Albany. His reception
began with an old fashioned torchlight
parade, with lots of red fire and
bombs. Through crowded streets the
line led to Harmanus Blocker hall,
where MI. Hearst addressed an assem-
bly, that crowded 1t to its limit, with a
great overflow outside.
Charles e. Hughes, the Republican
candidate, went to Corning, held a re-
ception, and addressed three large au-
diences. Only one meeting had been
planned, but the Corning Opera House
was SO quickly filled when the doors
were opened that the use of the court
house was secured. This structure, too,
was soon filled to overlooking, and it
was then announced that both Mr..
Hughes and Job Hedges. who is ac-
companying him on this. his last trip
through the state, would speak at a
third meeting at the city hall.

Editorial, Washington Star Oct. 81
The President today appointed Charles
II. Robb to be an associate justice of the
Court of Appeals Of the District Of Column
Dia, TO fin the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Justice Duell. The appointment.
which was foretold in the Star last We'd
nesday, will give general satisfaction. in
spite of the disappointment that the Cd
portunity was not utilized to give to the
District OF Columbia the local representa-
ton upon its appellate court to which IL
is reasonably entitled
Mr.. Robb was not candidate for the
Judgeship, but the desirability of his ap-
pointment was pressed upon the Presi-
dent by Attorney General Moody and by
Senator Philander c. Knox, Mr.. Moody's
predecessor as attorney general. II was
generally understood that Mr.. Robb's SER
vice as assistant attorney general was of
so much value to the department Of JUS
tice that the President was loath to
transfer him from that department to the
bench of the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Robb's legal equipment is above re-
proach. He has shown himself able as a
lawyer, sound as a counsellor and ener-
geuc and resourceful as a prosecutor.
Though his first assignment in the de-
partmen- of justice, after coming from
Vermont to Washington during the first
administration of President Mckinley.
was as special attorney in the inheritance
tax cases, he did not come conspicuously
before the public eye till he was made as
sistant attorney general for the post
Office department and given charge of the
postal fraud cases. That he prosecuted
these cases with pertinacity, vigor and
success is matter of record. II Mr..
Robb proves himself as capable on the
bench as at the bar he will measure up to
the requirements of the Office
