NO HOPE OF FUSION
Republicans Olive Branch USE
less, Say Essex Co. Men, De-
cIaring Party Moribund.

The members of the Progressive
County Committee at a meeting last
night made it plain that under no
circumstances would they amalga-
mate with the Republicans. 1t was
also declared that the Progressives
would have a candidate in the field
next year for every political office,
either county or municipal
A resolution to this. effect was in
troduced by Edmund b. Osborne and
was passed unanimously. Slight OBJ
iections to the resolution were made
by Theodore Gottlfeb and the play
ground commissioner, Algernon I.
Sweeney, but the resolution, when
put to a vote, passed without dis
senting voice.
Mr.. Osborne declared that the Re-
publican party was so moribund that
it could never be revived, and called
the attention of his hearers to lone
figures that for months have been
holding out the olive branch" In
conclusion, he said he wished they
would take down their arms and put
the branch out of sight. as there was
not the slightest chance of it being
accepted.
Borden D. Whiting spoke on the
same lines and urged his hearers to
work for cooperation. There was but
one party at present, he averred-the
Progressive party. The Republican
party was dead issue and the Dem
ocratic party was SO near dead that
there was no hope for il, he declared.
In the future he predicted a conserv-
alive party. which would make both
parties fight for their principles and
thus bring about a wholesome popu-
lar government.
Just prior to the close of the meet
ing, Samuel Levine said he wished to
state that the interest taken by for
mer Senator Everett Colby in the re-
cent garment workers strike had no
political significance. Mr.. Levine
further declared that not per cent.
of the men on strike had a vote.

PAY ALL DEBTS
County Committee Decides to
Raise Money for outstand-
ing Bills.

The suit for the printing bill OF -
Wolber & Co. for $1,662.2o, being
brought against zen members Of the
Progressive County Committee, was
the subject of considerable discus
sion at the meeting of the commit
tee last night 1t was finally de-
cided to pay all outstanding bills by
some means and particularly VOL
ber's.
The matter was preached by Irv-
ing K. Taylor. chairman of the COM
mittee, who declared there was no
reason why the debts incurred should
not have been paid. Mr.. Taylor said
that when he was appraised Of the
matter he sent $500; William FelIowes
Morgan sent $500, and e. J. Brooks
$780,
1T is now up to you, added NJ.
Taylor. I'VE have 2s2 members q
tho county committee and the money
should be raised and raised at once.
Secretary Simpson interrupted Of
this point to say that Frank L. Driver
had agreed to contribute $500 or $500,
If necessary. To this Mr.. Taylor re-
sponded heatedly that the money
should be at hand.
Algernon t. Sweeney expressed the
opinion that there should be a bud
get, so that each district might pay
its pro rata share. Mr.. Taylor agreed
with Mr. Sweeney and said that every
man should have an interest in pay
ing the deficit. Mr.. Gottlieb sug-
gested that the city committee raise
part of the amount, but this
proposition was looked upon with
disfavor, because the debts had been
contracted before the city commit
tee was organized.
AT this point Edmund B. Osborne
took hand in the discussion. Mr,
Osborne said that candidates were
absolutely barred by law from con-
tributing directly or indirectly more
than a certain amount No one mad
been more loyal than Taylor, -Ir.
Osborne continued. The trouble vas
there had been no budget, and the
debts should never have been con
tracted until the money was well In
hand or pledged. Mr.. Osborne thought
He further stated that the committee
of ten recently appointed had in
mind making up a budget for the
year and raising $4,000 at once.
Mr.. Taylor called attention to a
bill of s132 owed to woman who
runs a printing shop, and asserted
that she needed the money 1t was
decided to take definite action az
once, and the matter was left in the
hands of the committee of ten to
raise the $4,000 campaign fund at
once by assessing each district lts
proportionate share.
MIR. Taylor's attendance at last
rights meeting was his first since
lie returned from a trip to italy He
received a royal welcome from his
fellow members and responded in
few we'll. chosen words. While in
