ENDORSING SOMMER.
New idea Faction, Coming Out for

Praises Him Highly.

In the course of a few days the Ninth
Ward Colbyites will complete all pre-
liminaries for their primary campaign
Last night at 10 Elizabeth avenue, follow
ing the meeting of the Regulars Monday
night, who said that there was harmony
in that district, the Colby workers In the
ward adopted resolutions lndorsing Sheriff
Frank II. Sommer for the honor place on
the Republican ticket and the New Idea
A~ssemblymen Of two years ago.
The resolution, introduced by Alexander
M. Linnett, was as follows: s
For more than two years a large proper
ton OF the honest, intelligent and patriotic
voters of the Republican party In Essex
County have stood earnestly and stead
who have been the agents for the great
corporations in their efforts to secure and
continue control of State and municipal
legislation. They have also stood for the
enactment of wise laws to secure equal
taxation, the limitation of public utility
franchises, the proper taxation of such
franchises, the regulation OF the corpora
lions operating public utilities. the right
of the people to make political nominal
tions through direct primaries, the privi-
lege of every citizen to express by his
ballot his choice for United States SEN
ator, the betterment Of the public service
by an efficient civil service law, the sup
preston of the lobby evil and for other
statutes to promote the public good.

and are still public Issues, Is due to the
opposition of those who have directed the
energies Of the Republican party for the
benefit of the corporations interested.
If they are to become laws and be eff
~fective, 1t must be by the selection or
men to executive and legislative authority
who will vote and work for their enact
ment and enforcement.
Foremost among the men of the State
who have striven for these principles IS
1TronIy II Gn1anaoR thu GhnrffF If HQqnX
County. His life and his public services
In this direction are an absolute guarantee
that he will be true to the interests OF the
people, as President Roosevelt has been In
the executive office of the nation. and In
Governor Hughes has been in the execu-
tive office in the State OF New York.
The. Republican Assemblymenu who
served In the Legislature two years ago.
and are candidates for reorganization,
proved their fidelity to the public interests
once, and. II elected, will do so again.
For these a~bundantly sufficient reasons
the Ninth Ward Branch of the Republican
League for Limited Franchises and Equal
Taxation emphatically indorses the candi-
