ing to Regular Republicans in the New
Auditorium last night, Senate Everett
Colby, his rival, was talking to the
workers of the New Idea party at the
headquarters of that organization In
Bank street, and too the occasion to
deny that he would do all he could to
defeat Mr.. Raymond at the polls If Mr..
Raymond won at the primaries. Mr..
Colby reiterated, however, as he was
| would oppose Mr.. Raymond unless the
latter did some things that Mr.. Colby
desired.
Mr.. Colby said last night:
"If he (Mr. Raymond) attempts to
make the Republican party nominate
a man who has no principles or who
will not state them. he ought to be de-
about his defeat"
Gardner Colby, vice-president OF the
Republican League for Limited Fran
chises and Equal Taxation, presided at
the meeting In the absence of As
semblyman w. Fellowes Morgan, the
president. The meeting began with re-
pOTIS from Liz NdrlOuS WdIuS uo
municipalities on the condition of the
New Idea forces and the prospects. As
presented, they were all of an encour-
aging nature. despite OBJECTIONS that
are known to nave occurred.
Senator Colby appeared before the re-
ports were concluded, n as he had a
meeting in Montclair to attend, he
spoke at once. He had been detained
for the Newark meeting by an accident
to his automobile.
Position as to Raymond.
During his speech he made the ref
erence to his attitude relative to Mr..
Raymond, speaking as follows:
1T was reported hat at a meeting In
the Eighth Ward, the other night, l
made the statement that if Judge Ray
mond were successful in the primaries
l would do all in my power to defeat
him. What I did say was that If Judge
Raymond will live up to the purpose Of
the primaries and will simply state
what his principles are, I will go in and
help elect him, but that II he attempts
to make the Republican party nominate
a man who has no principles or who
will not state them, he ought to be de-
feated, and I will do all I can to bring
about his defeat. That was what I did
say and I do not crawl from that
statement. The story hat I was 60
ing to try to defeat Judge Raymond no
matter what he stood for Is absurd and
idiotic.n
To Stay on the Job.
Il want to say thai from now on I
am going to be strictly on the job. The
only way to produce results Is to com>
plete the organization and I am very
much pleased with what has already
been done. 1t has been hard work and
it has been done very successfully. II
1t Is kept up by every leader in every
district. we will win as sure as shoot
ing.
II size the situation up like this: We
must determine not to lose a single vote
in the primaries in any district and we
will win. I am in this fight to win and
I am going to. 1t does not seem fair
that the work We nave done in the
past three years should be lost and
there is no reason why this should be
SO.
Il feel that you men are not simply
working for me, but for the principles
for which l stand. The more the other
people talk, the better we will like it.
The regulars say that it is not right for
a man to be reelected to the same office,
yet Congressman Parker goes back to
Congress e after year. No doubt il
adds to his experience, but the same
principle does not apply when our side
wants to renominate a man.

to go into some of the other counties
and try to get the voters therein in
terested in our side of the question. 1t
was terrible, a severe breach of sena-
torial courtesy for one Senator to go
into the territory of another and at
tempt to tell the voters how to vote.
Yet. the regulars are holding a meet
ing tonight and Senator Hillery, of
Morris County, will be present and urge
the voters of this county to vote as he
wants.
IF we manage this campaign right
and put it on the right basis, we will
simply be irresistible. The people Of
this county are intelligent and l be-
lieve that they will respond to a ra-
tional and logical discussion of the
planks in the platform. Let every one
make himself familiar with it and so
help along the good work.
II honestly believe that it is neces-
| sary for the economic and commercial
welfare OF this county that We win."
The workers at the meeting were en-
thusiastic and cheered the Senator.
Resolutions of regret were adopted on
the death of Stephen A. Condict, of
Orange.
Other meetings will be held every
Tuesday night until the primaries. The
purpose of them, as stated by Gardner
Colby, is TO have the workers keep in
touch with party sentiment during the
week and with each other at these
meetings.
