the county or of the State of New
Jersey.
The major then traced the career of
Chairman Dalrymple up to the time
he appeared as a candidate for the
craftsmanship and said:
well, the time came when, by the
desertion of MI. Colby and his bunch,
a split, or rather a defeat, was brought
about in the Republican party, and the
defeat of United States Senator Dry
den / resigned my position as chair
man of the county committee for the
reasons that / gave in that letter then.
1 felt that there was a popular de-
mand that 1 should retire and give
somebody else a chance to bring these
factions together. Mr.. Colby, Mr..
Martin and Mr.. Sommer stated pub
licly that IL / resigned the party would
reunite. | resigned and you have seen
the reunion, haven't you? Laughter).
When l resigned Mr.. Dalrymple was
elected chairman of the county com
mittee. He stated publicly immediate
ly after hist resignation that for the
purpose of reuniting the New Idea peo-
pie with h Regulars he would have
to cut off all relations with me and
to ignore me completely. Well, as that
was my desire when L resigned, l did
not feel that ignoring very much, and
he has been travelling by himself now
that Is to say, with Jack Flavell as his
guide for the last three years.
What DalrympIe Did.
Now, see what he did. He elected
a majority of the delegates the first
year when he was chairman to the
county convention, sixty or seventy.
He was beaten on the floor of tina
convention in the Kruger Auditorium
through his own ~incapacity, and Mr..
Martin and Mr.. Sommer dominated
that convention with a Regular Re
publican majority of sixty to eighty,
and nominated Mr.. Martin and the
rest. That was the first. Next was
his campaign for Mr.. Fort for Gov
ernor; he barely obtained a majority
of the delegates and voted them In the
convention for Mr. Fort. Then came
his campaign for Mr.. Murphy as vice
president in Chicago. Well, the record
tells what he did there. Then came
his campaign at the primaries against
Mr.. Colby and Mr.. Morgan. In this
campaign Mr.. Colby and Mr.. Morgan,
and l say ii publicly without any fear
of contradiction. would have been de-
feated for the nomination and Essex
county today would have been repre-
scented by a Republican sheriff in the
county if it nae not been, we will say
very charitab1y. for the stupidity of
the present chairman of the county
committee.
What He stands For.
Nov, gentlemen, I stand for a lib
eral, decent, honest government of the
city Of Newark, and of every munich
pality; | stand for home rule In all
things; | stand for home rule of the
government in the city of Newark in
the employment of the clerks, In the
payment of the salaries. on the excise
question, on every question affecting
the city of Newark, / stand for home
rule and that the people of the city of
Newark shall say what they want;
that is what / stand for. l say the
people of East Orange shall have what
belongs to the people of East Orange;
1 say the people of Montclair shall
have what belongs to the people of
Montclair; but [ say also hat what
people of Newark. want the people
Of Newark shall have. (Applause.)
"And, now, gentlemen, in conclusion,
let me say this. that often during the
days of the war. when we were waiting
for the morning to dawn and expecting
to go to battle, there was involuntarily
a quiet and silent feeling. a feeling of
deep thought and of what tomorrow
W ouid bring, and even the greatest
scoffer in those nights and on those
mornings of the battle would turn his
thoughts to the Almighty and pray to
