REGULARS WIN
DECISIVE VICTORY
FROM OPPONENTS
Chairman Dalrymple Breezes In
Easy Winner for Old
Position.
SURROGATE RUSSELL WALK.
AWAY WITH NOMINATION
Former Senator Everett Colby
Declares Fight on 0rganiza-
ton Will Be Renewed.

Complete returns today from polling
places all over the county show that
Chairman Alfred N. Dalrymple, of the
Republican County Committee, won a
victory even more notable than was
indicated in the returns of last night.
Regular Republican candidates for
nomination decisively defeated their
opponents of the Progressive wing of
the party. Incidentally, Chairman Dali
his old position. with Colonel Colgate,
the Progressive candidate for the
nomination, a very poor second, and
Major Lentz, who al as an Independ-
ent, just inside the flag.
Despite his and picturesque
personal campaign, the best hat can
be said of the major. with but a few
scattering districts yet to be heard
from, is that he "also an"
DaIrympIe's statement.
When he felt assured of the result
Of the primary election Chairman Dali
rymple said:
1.-THE returns show such a percentage
of gain for the Regular ticket that
there is no doubt about the nomination
of George E. Russell for surrogate, and
the eleven Regular assemblymen. As
to the county committee. on IN esti-
mate based on returns so far received,
| shall have good working majority
of the new county committee.
THE general result clearly shows
that the Republican voters of Essex
county desire to follow progressive con
servatism along the lines laid down
by President Taft, rather than the
radicalism of his predecessor. and this
sentiment Is especially reflected In the
returns from the former strongholds
of the New Idea faction"
Former Senator Everett Colby, most
prominent figure in the ranks of the
Progressives, commented thus today on
the situation: IF the returns show
that we have peel defeated all along
the line. we will at once begin to or
ganize again for next year. We LAY
no explanation to make or excuse to
offer. Ii we didn't york hard enough
this year We will next. Nothing can
convince me the majority Of the mem
bers of the Republican party of this
county are opposed to the things for
which we stand and we intend to keep
on hammering until we win"
what MIR. Russell Says.
Surrogate Russell said;
IF what 1 near is true, and l am
renominated, all l can say Is hat it
is a tribute paid by the Republican
voters of Essex county to my five
years administration, which l conf
IDENTIFY expect will be Endorsed by
voters on election day."
Considering the fact that both men
were opposed by two aspirants for the
office they sought their victories are
the more remarkable. Colonel Austen
Colgate, as the choice of the Progress
sive Republicans, inc Major Lentz. the
former Republican county chairman,
who was seeking to regain his leader
ship by an Independent primary cam
paign, we're opposed to Chairman Dali
rymple.
Surrogate Russell had to win his re-
nomination over Walter F. Simson,
the Progressive candidate, and DR..
Joseph S. Vinson, who made a lone
campaign.
