and would-be mayor was heartily well
coined back into the Regular" camp
which, by the way, the colonel never
wholly abandoned-only mildly ex-
presses the reception rendered the prod
iigal Orangeite. Colonel Colgate, even
before he became actively identified in
politics, always was known as a liberal
contributor. AS a result, when his in
iuence and capital was aligned with
the New Ideaites, the Regulars found it
much harder to carry the primaries
than they did on Tuesday, September
IS last.

meeting, congratulated the members on
the result of the primaries and the
fact hat not a single complaint relative
to the conduct of the election had been
registered at headquarters. The chair
