All semblance of factional party
last night in the headquarters of the
Republican County conmittee. Acad-
emy and Halsey streets. Former SUI
preme Court Justice John Franklin
Fort, Republican nominee for Governor,
was paying the members of the county
committee visit, customary with Ro-
publican nominees.
New Idea men fresh from the adop-
tion of the harmony resolution told of
in the EVENING STAR yesterday
talked of the prospects of success dur
ing the reception to Mr. Fort. There
were no more urgent advocates of har-
mony than Senator Everett Colby and
Alderman William p Martin, who with
speeches supplemented the plea of Can
didate Fort for ahoulder-t o-shoulder
work from the opening of the campaign
to election day.
1t was the first time since the incep-
ton of the Colby movement that any
thing so harmonious in Republican
ranks took place, it was remarked at
the meeting. Mr.. Fort was pleased.
He, in turn, was the magnet for salts
fed Republicans, New Idea and Regu-
lars, who have promised to work for
the election of every Republican nomi-
nee for whom they have the privilege to
vote
Senator Colby promised that his or
ganization would get out more votes
than the Regulars to help the ticket to
victory While Mr.. Fort did not deal
with any issues of the day, he told the
Fat. Iaaf Friday night
in Krueger's Auditorium, when the
campaign would be formally opened, he
would leave nothing unsaid that had
bearing on the issues of the day.
Among those who spoke besides the
former Supreme Court justice were

Congressman R. Wayne Parker, Sena-
tor Everett Colby former Assembly
man Austen Colgate, William p. Mar
tin, Board of Works Commissioner Au-
gustus r. Eggers, John B. Woolston,
candidate for county clerk, and some
of the candidates on the Assembly
ticket.
1t did not take long for the transact
tion of the routine business OF the
Committee. after which Chairman Dali
rymple laid particular stress upon the
necessity of getting all voters out for
the second registration day, so that
one of the largest votes in the history
of the State would be polled on election
day. "There must be house-to-house
canvass this year" said he. AS far
as possible the county committee VIII

and Alderman Martin to escort Mr..
Fort to the platform.
As soon as the candidate for Cover
nor made his appearance there We're
