Messrs. Book, Clymer, Judd and others

Mr.. Clymer said that when this offer
was made to the Y. w. c.. A. Mr.. Ander-

denied by Mr.. Anderson. who said he

That the coming preferential prcslden-
In the fight OF the Regular and Pro-
g~fessive Republicans for the control OF
this State was made plain In an address
by Edmund b. Osborne. president OF the
Progressive League, during a meeting
last night at their headquarters, 2l1 Hal
sey street. Not only will Progressives
seek to han the New Jersey delegates
to Colonel Roosevelt for the big conven-
tion at Chicago. but they will also en-
deavor to defeat United States Senator
Frank o. Briggs and other Regular Re-
publicans who count on the machine for
support.
In the ranks of the Regular organiza-
tion there is a vivid appreciation of the
point that the contest I'm New Jersey
is not between Taft and Roosevelt
merely, but is also a struggle for control
OF the organization, just as the primaries
In Pennsylvania involved a fight for
control oftthe organization in that State.
Neither side harbors any illusions on

present contest. as II affects the State

tinuing his address Mr.. Osborne said:
THE big question for you, as a Repub-
liean. to decide before the primaries is
not whether YOU like Roosevelt better or
Taft better. but which side you are on In
