''DAL" WHY He IS
MUTE ON DOUGH-
In First Outdoor Meeting of

Win Twelve n1gQIB lett LOT duLS-pIl-
mary campaigning, the Progressive Re-
publican League opened its away from
headquarters campaign in the Sixth
ward last night with an outdoor meet
ing at the corner of Eleventh avenue
and South Ninth street.
The attendance was about as large
as might be expected, as the section is
wholly residential, with no hall in the
neighborhood, and adjacent to a ceme-
terry, which forms the westerly bound
airy of the ward. The speakers were
President Edmund B. Osborne, of the
league; William p. Martin, candidate
for governor, and Harold j. Rowland,
who is seeking the nomination for Con-
gress in the Seventh congressional dis
trict.
President Osborne opened by retort-
ing to Alfred N. Dalrymple's assertion
that he vas a recent importation from
Iowa, that Dali lac only lived here
six or v years, while he had taken
up his residence In this county twelve
years ago. Then Mr.. Osborne opened
up on "DaIs'' failure to reply to his
charges of the machine relying for its
success upon the use of the dough-bag
and fraud.
why Keep Out Challengerss
"why hoes the machine he said, as
he warmed up to his subject, want to
keep the Progressive c%hallengers out OF
the primaries, II they do not want to
do something that they would not do
IL the Progressives were there? Doesn't
that look plain? Dalrymple p~retends
to be indignant at the mention of an
attempt at fraud. Why, then, does he
not open the a to give us all a
square deaf?
"A great many people say that the
machine lives and thrives on fraud n
while he was in his white heat of in
dignation a few days ago / thought 1T
a good time to suggest that both sides
make public their campaign expense
and the names of the contributors. A
lot OF people say there is an enormous
amount of money used every year by
the machine, and I put this question to
Dalrymple: Where do you get it7
What do you do with it?
I'm the language of William Parmen-
ter Martin, the curse of New Jersey is
corrupt money in politics. We submit
that the charge must be met hat the
Regulars have used money wrong
fully. If they don't show the books it
Is because they know that after doing
so they would be in a worse position
than before. We are ready to submit

Harold j. Rowland, candidate for
Congress in the Seventh District, who
yesterday challenged Congressman
Parker to"a joint debate of the Is
sues. said that he stood against Can
nonism while his adversary in the pri-
mary fight personified Cannonism. Mr..
Rowland said in part:
1.-THE bosses have Endorsed one man
as their choice for the candidacy, Rich
ard Wayne Parker. A group Of men
who believe with all their souls in Pro-
gressive principles and who have been
fighting year after year against the
bosses have indorsed another man for
the candidacy. He stands before you.
But the final choice is yours. At the
primaries on September 10 1t Is for you
to say which man shall be your candi-,
date, the man selected by the bosses
or the man who is pledged to fight the
bosses to the death. But remember
just one thing. If you choose the man
of the bosses for your candidate you
can hardly expect him when he, is elect

"Cennon,. Graveyard Committee"
DO you want to send to Congress
this year a man who has been closely
allied with Cannon and C~annonism;
who is the head of the great judiciary
committee which is commonly known
as 'Cannon's graveyard to which he
commits those measures which he
wishes never to see the light again; or
