We crowded out of the elevator at
the fourth floor, and found ourselves
in a rather theatrical hallway of dra-

PROGREss|vEs, IN
PLATFORM, GUST
PET RECORD ideas
Essex Contingent, Choosing Har-
old j. Rowland for Senator,
Repudiates Wilson Man.

At a meeting last night of the ad-
visory committee of the Essex Pro-
gressive League, at which Harold J.
Rowland, of Verona, was selected can
didate for State senator in the coming
primaries, George L. Record, of Jersey
City, was repudiated by the adoption
of a platform from which the pet
theories of Record were eliminated.
The State convention held in Newark
a few weeks ago, which was dominated
by Record, adopted a platform for the
Progressive party, and there was no
excuse for framing another last night,
except to get away from the vagaries
Of Governor Wilson'S member on the
State Board of Assessors. That, in
fact, was the unconcealed reason for
putting out a new platform. The State
declaration of principles carries a de-
mand for the single tax in a modified
form, declares for the removal of the
public utilities commissioners unless
the rates for gas, electricity, ice and
water are reduced within a reasonable
time, n favors the recall applied to
public officials.
These three planks do not appear in
the Essex platform, although there is
a plank calling for reductions in the
rates charged by the utility companies.
Also Favors Oregon Plan.
The Essex platform also declares for
the initiative and referendum, the short
ballot, the Oregon plan of electing
United States senators, the election of
assemblymen and State senators by
districts, municipal home rule, laws ex-
Guiding children under 16 from all sorts
of employment. laws to compel the
placing of safety devices in all railroad
trains, the abolition of grade-crossings,
the ratification of the income tax
amendment. the amendment of the
State constitution to carry out these
principles, If necessary.
Timothy d. Merwin, of Verona, made
the motion that Mr.. Rowland be the
candidate for senator. This was sec
onded by Edmund B. Osborne, presi-
dent Of the league. and unanimously
carried. Mr.. Rowland. in his speech
of acceptance. pledged himself to the
platform that had been adopted.
