Mr.. Murphy is the logical leader OF
the State organization, because he is
chairman of the Republican State
Committee.
Fully cognizant of the difficult task
that is ahead of him, caused largely by
the activity of the Progressive Repub-

to get down to business at once.
Mr.. Murphy is expected to be present
at Friday nights meeting of the Essex
County Republican Committee, at

citation of the Endorsement voted a

is awaiting them. Mr.. Dalrymple has
commended that h constitution and
