NEW IDEA MEN
WILL WATCH
TRENTON
some legislators Are Shy
Of Backbone, Sheriff
Declares.

Tor the various reform bills that will
be considered by the coming One Hun
dred and Thirty-second Legislature, the
advisory committee of the organization
last night in the New Auditorium
finally passed the resolution, and the
committees were appointed.
Gardner Colby explained the resolu-
lions which DR.. d. M. Gardner opposed
on the ground that such a fight as the
New Idea proposed by the passage OF
such resolutions should be carried on
within the party ranks. He maintained
that the Peoples Lobby took care OF
such work and that the New Idea
should go on as heretofore.
Andrew B. Bryan, secretary of the
advisory committee, defended the reso-
lutions, n was in the midst of his
talk when Sheriff Frank H. Sommer,
who had drawn the resolutions, put In
an appearance. With him were Assem-
blyman-elect William p. Martin and
President of the County Tax Board
Lathrop Anderson. The trio was
roundly cheered. When the applause
subsidized Gardner Colby asked the
Sheriff if he desired to say anything to
DIR. Gardner.
The Sheriff arose and said:
u know of nothing that can be added to
the resolutions. 1t is true that the league
was organized to conduct certain reforms
IN the Republican party, and expects to do
its work through the party. The idea con-
Xeyed In the resolutions came to me as a
result Of an experience with a legislator
a certain bill because he did not know
how the people of his county wanted him
to vote. II this idea goes through we will
have our own people on the ground to tell
them what we want. ] think it is about
time that We got in a position where
neither Democrats or Republicans could
say that they did not know the wishes of
the people. Some Of the members of the
Legislature hav not too much backbone.
aud | want to put public opinion behind
them.
" will not be treading on the toes OF
the peoples lobby. We could; IL 1t should
be thought advisable, ask them to CO.
operate with us. Tt. lobby Is doing good
Or three men, which is not enough. If
you call them they will answer the call.
and the people of the State will. not only
see the advantage of their work. but of
thnslastic. capable men. who know their
subject"
With but one vote in the negative the
resolutions were then passed.
