F|NERAN ATTACKS
ORANGE S0L0N
Declares lie Master Is Leader of
"Sore Heads" and Cause
of Trouble.

Charging the alleged m%isgovern-
ment of Orange up to Councilman
Charles A. lie Master, leader of the
Republican, Democratic combination
in the Common Council of that city,
President John G. Fineran, Of that
body, today issued a sweeping denial
Of statements made by the Republi-
can official at a ward meeting on
Thursday night. Mr.. Fineran re-
minds Mr.. LIE Master that while the
Democrats, ION paper have a ma
jority of votes in the Common Coun-
Gil, a combination of what the pres
ident terms "sore-head Democrats
and Republicans has complete con-
troll of the city governing body and
has had for the past two years.
This combination of Republicans
and sore-head Democrats, headed by
Mr.. LeMaster, is responsible for para
sites in the city government said
Mr.. Fineran, land Mr.. LeMaster has
been the prime mover in the govern
ment. He never raised his voice in
protest when Mr.. Quinn mad a man
appointed to a job hat was occupied
and Mr.. LeMaster, although leader
of the combination in control, refused
to assist an effort by MI. Smith to
transfer a wagon from the water to
the street department.
while we had a majority of Demo-
Gratis in Council Mr.. LeMaster was
chiefly interested in keeping the group
separated for the benefit of his. own
combination control, and we know
the meetings of the new group were
held always at Mr.. LeMaster's home
or his school,"
As to the raises in salary, Mr.. Fin
eran declared the only advances
given were a $500 increase to the
mayor and an advance to So per day
for the city laborers. "And If Mr.. LIE
Master thinks 81 a day is too much
for the men we Democrats do not
agree with him."
Mr.. Fineran declared Mr.. LIE Mas
ter to be the big chief of the combine
and responsible for tying the hands
of the Democrats who were elected
to take charge of city affairs. He
marvels at the failure of the Re-
publican official to raise his voice in
protest against conditions he now de-
plores, and denied that the increased
tax rate had anything to do with the
squabbling in council.

BIG PLAYGROUND
FORMALLY OPENED
Orange Officials and Citizens
Take Part in Ex-
ercises.

Oranges 5000 playground at Es-
sex, Central and Lincoln n
was formally thrown open this after
noon with a lengthy program that
included presentation of al American
flag, addresses, a baseball game be-
tween f1remen and police, and folk
dances blythe children. The children
from the city schools Joined with the
officials and invited guests in a
march about the field, and the audi
ence sang the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner'' as the big flag was unfurled.
The pretty Fairgrounds were given
finishing touches this morning under
the direction of Colonel George p.
Olcott. who had charge of the work
of grading the field. The new equip
ment is all in place. and the appa-
ratus is of modern construction and
ample for the uses of the hundreds
of children who will patronize the
grounds.
The big grand stand, where Off
Gals and guests sat while watching
the games, is a c~ommodious affair,
and there is a shelter house in the
section neal where the smaller chill
dren will have their games. S. Fred
Wright has charge of the field. and.
with a corps of aides he was busy
directing affairs this afternoon.
The flag was presented by Orange
Chapter, Daughters of the Revolu-
ton. The addresses were made by
Senator Austen Colgate, president of
the playground commission, and n
of the heaviest contributors to the
fund for the field, and Mayor Arthur
B. Seymour.
Folk dances were given by the
children who had practised OF the
summer Fairgrounds throughout the
city. The ball game was between
teams representing the fremen and
police of Orange.
Mayor Arthur B. Seymour in ac-
cepting the Fairgrounds said in part;
1T has been objected that play
grounds are unnecessary, that the
children of today can play as their
parents used to do, but this objection
is without merit. With crowded build
ing conditions taking up the vacant
lots which were available in the old
days has come crowded vehicular
traffic so that even the streets cannot
be used for play without great danger.
but this field and others like it are
more than places for play. They are
made primarily for play, it is true,
but it is legitimate play. trained play
and safe and quare play. Play that
may be enjoyed equally by the rich
and the poor, something they didn't
have in the old days. 1t is more than
a place for play, it is a place Of edu-
cation and for the building up Of
character. A place where men win
be made whose average character will
be of a higher grade than that of to-
day"

attorney for John Hyer. a milkman,
living in Eagle Rock avenue, Rose

Challenges Leadership.
Mr.. Walker challenged the Pro-
pressive leadership of the Democratic
nominee for the presidency. nj tooh
np the Governors reply to Coionel
Roosevelt's question as to why he mao
NOT appiied his doctrine of States
rights by putting some OF the new
Yarsa,, trusts out of business during
hfx administration as chic executive
ua.charged the Governor with having
an elusive and evasive memory.
oEoyernor wilson's claim to recos-
milton as a great progressive leader
he said, rests entirely upon the pas
sage of four legislative measures our
,no his administration, and not'one OF
these measures was of his own max
ing. The bills themselves were ready
made TO his hand. through the Worh
~ non now in the Progressive party,
and the public sentiment whicn eiec'-
ed him and enabled him to pass these
fo,r measures was created by Fro
g~ressives. mn.
A a remedy for the evlis OF mo
nopoly the Democratic nominee mas
heen proposing, in q somewhat vasue
manner. that the trusts snouio NC
busted. and that the states IN which
thew are incorporated should do the
3oh nv r~epealing their charters. ASKED
bv Theodore Roosevelt why he a
not. as governor. done some trust
busting in New Jersey in the nearly
two years he had been governor
Mr. Wilson today is quoted IN the
as explaining that he mas
been unable to do so because the
Legislature has been Republican.
Memory Partly at Fault.
.The governors memory seems TO
he partly at fault. In the first year
of his term, as I distinctly recall,
the House of Assembly contained a
Democratic majority, and every I'M
portant measure passed by thai
house was agreed to by the Repup-
lican Senate, for perfectly good n
nerfectly obvious political reasons.
II is also true that, although his W
party was so badly divided in pur-
pose as to his program in the Legls.
lature as it will be in congress II
he should be elected, the governor
notwithstanding got through the
House every important measure Tor
which he made a determined stand.
I'm his message that first year,
Governor Wilson did mildly recon-
mend some changes in the corpora
ton laws, but he made no effort to
secure legislation along these lines,
and there was nothing to indicate
then. and has been nothing to midi
cate since, hat he had or has any
definite conception or notion of how
he would begin the job of making
these changes, or what changes he
would make"
