and beneficial and we are in a chas-
tened and receptive frame of mind.
What we want Is not to listen to
the voices OF the old leaders, but to
rise up and demand new leaders,
unitedly chosen, and rally round
them, holding up their hands. forgiv-
ing and forgetting, all past differ
ences wiped out resolved to work
for our nation and State, laying aside
all personal ambitions.
Il think the Democrats were a little
ashamed of the way the Assembly
was acting toward the close of the
session and were glad enough to close
the lawmill before it became any
worse. The acting Governor did all
he could to make the Democrats full
fill their pledges, but the former Gov
ernor having taken all his appoint
ments from him he was left with no
whip to crack, and with no whip the
Democrats are prone to wander from
the paths of rectitude."
Predicts Split in Legislature.
Senator Colgate predicted that the
extra session would not produce any
to further divide the Democratic
party and further demonstrate to the
people that the Democrats as a mi
nority are a success, but as a major
ity party are a failure.
The present condition. he declared,
was worse for the State than IL
either the Republicans or Progress
sives were in control and therefore
the solution of the problem was sim
pie, the union of the antagonized
factions of the Republican party. q
tThere is no reason why we cannot
get together for we believe in the
same things; the only thing that sep
arated us before was the personality
of our two leaders. and we are both
to be congratulated on having had
such two popular men, Taft and
Roosevelt at the head of our re-
spective factions. although they made
the fight more bitter because of the
intense loyalty of their followers.
Both of these men went down to de-
feat and that issue is now, or ought
to be, laid at rest"
Former Congressman Parker said
he had been studying the new tariff
bill and was interested in the way
1t was going through under the lash.
The whole question seemed to be
whether we are to get things cheaper
1T is all very well to get things
cheaper" he said. IF we have money
to buy them with, but If the result
is to turn great masses out of work
we will have the old Republican issue
no oh g,1 he l.n
unite the whole people in demanding
that the old party shall go back into
power"
The speaker remarked that there
was no campaign on now, but, never
theless, there was always something
to be done. There is q new kind of
machinery here, he said, that doesn't
work very well. He referred to the
direct primary system. The people
won't be satisfied to have nominations
made by a league or otherwise, he de-
clared. They want to have something
to do with choosing candidates them
selves, or they won't come out at the
primaries.
I'm the city of Newark it is very
hard to get nominees because many
men whom the office ought to seek
turn away saying. oh, / will work
IL put up, but / am not going around
to see how many are for me-. Men
don't like to fight for themselves.
Good men will fight for their party
until they die, just as they would
for their country. Something is
necessary to be done to get good
men to serve without forcing them to
go around and get ballots.
II therefore submit for your con-
whether it wouldn't be
well before next election. to try to
have Independently named delegates
for each district to Determine who
the proper pominee should be, so we
can fight fer nominees without dis
eension in our own ranks"
