Foregoing is an extract from the
Progressive Republican leagues call
for a meeting of the advisory commit
tee to be held at SO Bank street Friday
night. President Edmund B. Osbol F.,
issued the call. Plans will be formu-
lated to try to wrest control of the
Essex County Republican Committee
from its present managers. Lathrop
Anderson Is the Progressives' choice
for county chairman, which position
Alfred N. Dalrymple now fills. The
Regulars will hold their monthly meet
ing on the same night, and Dali will
tell the committeeman why he should
be retained as their leader. The re-
organization of county committee and
place on the last Friday in December.
Dissatisfied with Results
There is much dissatisfaction in the
Republican ranks over the recent cleo
ton results in Essex county. The Sep
TENDER primaries resulted in a victory
for the Regulars. The Progressives
elected only 60 of the 239 members OF
the county committee. Declarations
are made that If the primaries were
held since election the Progressives
would wipe the Regulars out of exist
ence.
Reputation of Leadership
Mr.. Dalrymple, it has peer openly
criticised that the election result in
Essex county is a reputation of your
leadership" the county chairman was
told today.
"Analyze the Essex election returns
and you will see for yourself that such
IS not the CASE holly retorted the
doughty chairman. "Governor-elec
Wilson carried the county by about
5000. Gnichtel ran pretty poorly in
the city against Mayor Haussling.
We elected Alworth county register
and In the face of all the lambasting
that the Assembly ticket received the
Assembly candidates were defeated by
something like only. $500 votes. That's
a long way from the / 5000 Wilson plur.
atty. Doesn't that show a good work

DaIrympIe Not Pleased.

There are thirty less of them in the

which way the wind blows?"
'T1n talk about that and lots of
other things at the right time and
place, by which I mean at our COM
meeting OF Friday nigh" "Dal"
in the angered strain that has
characterized his daily routine since
crushing defeat the first Tuesday
the first Monday in this month.
Speaking of the Progressives' plans
Mr.. Anderson said: II dom know
whether l will be able to beat Mr..
or not, but I have no hest
fancy in saying that someone besides
he should be selected for the chair
manship. He certainly did not man
age the local campaign in a creditable
manner"
Movement Gains Strength.
The Progressives' cali concludes as
follows:
Progressive Republicanism in New
Jersey is much stronger than ever be-
fore, and in this movement rests the
hope of the Republican party for the
We are no longer a mere
local faction but a part of the great
rational movement for restoring the
control of the Republican party to the
voters. People have not ost faith In
Republican principles. With few ex-
ceptions the Republican party won in
the last election wherever the organiza-
tion was in the hands of the Progress
sives, and with few exceptions 1t was
defeated wherever the organization was
in the hands of the stand-pat, machine
leaders.
PLEASE be on hand at his meeting
and bring your friends with you. In
addition to our local leaders we expect
George L. Record and James g. Blau-
welt to be present and speak"
