DALRYMPLE IS
THEIR CHOICE
AGAIN
Ward Republicans
Adopt Resolutions for His
Retention as Chairman.

Taking the initiative in a political
discussion that will be uppermdst in
the minds of local Republicans within
the next few weeks, namely, the chair
manship of the county committee, the
executive committee of the Fourth
Ward met last night in Republican
headquarters, Academy and Halsey
streets, and unanimously indorsed the,
present incumbent, Alfred N. Dalrym-
pie, for reelection.
The meeting of the members of the
county committee, who viii choose a
chairman for the next two years, Will
be held December 20. This duty will
fall to the lot of the committeeman
who were chosen by the voters at the
last primary election.
There has been some little talk of
opposition to Chairman Dalrymple, so
the Fourth Warders, who boast of Mr..
Dalrymple as one of themselves be-
cause he lives in their ward, felt called
upon to first start the campaign for
him.
The good record of the young sue
cessor to Major Carl Lentz was eulo-
gized by the executive committeeman
of the Fourth Ward. They expressed
themselves as of the opinion that he
should have q full term in view of the
fact that he w. willing to shoulder
the responsibility of the duties of the
office when things were anything but
rosy in the Republican camp. Under
his regime order has come out of
chaos, and now Essex Republieanism
lis once more united, with the New
Idea forces amalgamated, they de-
clared.
Chairman Dalrymple was o present
at last nights meeting but his absence
did not dampen the enthusiasm, for
when his name was mentioned by
Frederick Manners, just before the
adoption of the eulogizing resolution,
there was much applause. Mr.. Man
ners told the committeeman that he be-
lieved that the action of the Fourth
Ward committee foreshadowed the
unanimous election of Mr.. Dalrymple
at the December meeting of the coun-
ty committee.
According to custom. before adjourn
ment, a committee was appointed to
arrange for a banquet of the execu-
tive committee.
The resolution in favor of Mr.. Dali
rymple's election, adopted by the COM
mittee, was as follows:
Whereas, Alfred N. Dalrymple was
chosen chairman of the Essex County Re-
publican committee. last year when the
local organization was torn by faotional
differences and when the gloom of a bitter
defeat sustained at the polls was upon
every loyal supporter of the Grand Old
Party: and,
Whereas. Mr.. Dalrymple has devoted his
valuable time to the difficult task of bring
ing about unity in the county committee.
working tirelessly night and day at great
personal inconvenience and to the exclu-
sion of practically everything else; and,
Whereas, by his eminent fairness, his
readiness to accent suggestions from all
Republicans, his uniform courtesy ani for
~bearance, hisl loyalty TO party principles
and progressive ideas, we are today en-
abled to look back on a sweeping victory
won by a united party; and
Whereas, he has aided Sheriff Frank Fl.
Sommer in his efforts to bring Illegally
registered voters to justice and to free pol
itics of that menace; be it
Resolved, That we Mr.. Dalrymple's fell
dow Republicans of the Fourth Ward and
members of the Fourth Ward Republican
executive committee, do hereby indorse
him for reelection TO the craftsmanship
when the members Of the county eommit-
tee chosen at the recent primaries meet
next month for organization; and be it
further
means possible to bring about his election,
and that we hereby call upon every Re
publican to rally to his support, believing
as we do that his continuance as county
chairman will best serve the Interests of
the party and the people and go far toward
insuring success for our candidates in the
all-important Presidential election of 1908.
