OF his elevation to the bench, will
probably submit his resignation as
president of the Progressive Republican

ing of that organization in this city
Thursday. The names of several per-
sons have been mentioned as possible
successors to Judge Martin. Emund B.
Osborne, of Montclair, the chairman Of
the Essex County League, is considered
as the most likely choice. 1t will lie be-
tween him and James /. Blauvelt, of
Passaic. Both George l.. Record. of
Jersey City, and Frank II. Sonmer. of
Newark, are also mentioned in this
connection, but the fact that they both
hole State Offices would probably deter
them from accepting.

Auditorium. following the annual ses-
sion, promises to be a big send-off to
the Progressive campaign. This dinner
is to be the traditional opening gum. Be-
sides Senator A. B.. cummins. of Iowa,
