WILSON LEAGUE
ENDORSES FIELDER
Hamiltonians Rescind Action
Supporting Wittpenn and Will
Aid Acting Governor.

Realizing that former Mayor II.
Otto Wittpenn, of Jersey City, is
hopelessly out of the race for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
the Hamilton faction of the Wood
row Wilson League, of Orange, last
night rescinded the Endorsement of
Wittpenn and voted to espouse the
candidacy of Governor Fielder. AS
none of the Dugan Davis faction was
present this action was voted for
unanimously.
Last night was the second time
the Hamilton faction of the league
rescinded the Endorsement of Mr..
Wittpenn. 1t was over their action
in resembling the first Endorsement
that the organization became hope
lessly split. in which condition it is
now.
But one man objected to the action
last night. He was John McDermott,
who stated he did not believe the
action would be in accordance with
the bylaws of the league, as the
matter should first be referred to
committee. President Hamilton ex-
pressed a different view, as did Cor
nelius O'Donoughue. and the men
prevailed upon Mr.. McDermott to
withdraw his objections so that the
action could be made unanimous. He
did as requested.

Mr.. OSBORNE THINKS THE
PLATFORMS DIFFER MUCH

After scanning Everett Colbys an
nouncement of his platform and the
accompanying speech today. Edmund
B. Osborne. the rival candidate for
the Progressive nomination for gov
ernor. expressed satisfaction that
Colby had gone into the matter of
tax reform so deeply.
81 have not been able to read Mr..
Colby's speech carefully" he said.
There seems to be a good deal of
difference between his platform and
mine. but it is satisfying to see he
has gone as far as he has in the
direction of the program I propose
especially in the matter of tax re-
form. That is going to be the great
issue until it is settled.
"N1r. Colby will help lot by de-
claring that the monopoly of land
values is a great evil I regret
that he is willing to go only half way
to cure, but am glad he has come
thus far-he will come the rest of the
way in time.
after ] have read his speech more
carefully, ] may make a statement
showing clearly the fundamental diff
ference between Mr.. Colby's platform
and mine"
Mr.. Osborne said he hoped that Mr..
Colby would realize that there are
differences in the two platforms that
would bear debating. and that he
would reconsider his refusal to dis
cuss the issues from the same plat
forms in different parts of the State.

Suffragists Won't Accept
Mrs. COlby'S Resignation

Although Mrs. Everett Colby, wife
of the candidate for the Progressive
gubernatorial nomination, rendered
her resignation as chairman of the
joint legislative suffrage bodies of
New Jersey, the committee has re-
fused to accept the resignation. In
her letter Mrs. Colby explains that
she wishes to resign because of the
announced candidacy of her husband
and to carry out the plan of the suf-
fragists not to become identified with
any political organization.
The letter was received and read
at a meeting of the committee yes
terday afternoon at SO Halsey street
The members voted not to accept it
on the ground that individual men,
bers could work as they saw fit as
individuals and not as representa-
tives of the suffragists. Mrs. G. G..
Scott presided at the meeting. Sew
eral members announced their inten-
ton of attending the convention of
the Mems League at Asbury Park on
Saturday.

The question was raised by Dr..
Charles A. Rosenwasser in regard to
what constituted legally signed pc
tition under the Geran law. He ex-
pressed a doubt as to whether a man
who had not voted at the primaries
last year. or who was first voter,
could sign a petition.
Assistant Prosecutor Wilbur A.
Mott stated that the law applied only
to those who had voted at the pre-
ceding primaries.

In pursuance TO the resolution
passed there was no formal discussion
of candidates nor expression on a
favorite, but it was stated that when
the reports were made from the vari-
Gus parts of the State the name of

any of the other candidates. Not dis
couraged by the Stokes sentiment,

hint as to where lie stood. When he
emerged from the conference chamber
he seemed pleased and reiterated that
he was waiting to be shown the senti-
ment of the people not only that of

would accept in case he found that he
was the peoples choice. he again re-
fused to commit himself.

Major S. Wood McClave, defeated Re
publican candidate for congressman
in the Sixth New Jersey District, sent
the following letter today to Con-
gresham elect Archibald C. Hart;
Hon. A. c. Hart:
Dear Archie-I never question the
judgment of the people, whether
right or wrong, and l congratulate
you upon receiving the verdict of the
voters in your favor
THE combination of fighting in q
normally Democratic district. made
so by u Republican Legislature, and
against Democrats, Progressives and
dirty politics, made my election
practically impossible; nor do | impli-
cate you in the latter, because your
friendship for me and mine toward
you precludes any thought of that
nature.
II blame, rather, your party, and
am surprised that under the condi-
tons as above described they find it
necessary to stoop so low.

ing you all success as the representa-
tive of the Sixth New Jersey Dis

among them some of the Progressive
leaders of the State. as their guests
at dinner in the Essex County Coun-
try club in West Orange last night,

Former Governor j. Franklin Fort,
Algernon T. Sweeney and Frank l..
Driver, Of this city; Charles Stelze,
of Maplewood General Muzzy, of
Passaic and others who had been ac-
tive in arranging last nights meet

factory from being built. thereby pre-
venting the employment of labor.
The effect of this tax on industry is to
discourage the construction OF buildings
and to withhold the land from labor for
the speculative increase In value.
II dlScourages the repair Of old FAC
tories and the construction of new ones
aud Is too frequently the Indirect II not
the direct, cause of terrible loss of
life among the workers. such as took
place in Newark few years ago and in
Blnghamton but a few days ago Under
our system of taxing improvements the
manufacturer who keeps his factory safe,
up TO date and in good repair Is penal
lied. while the manufacturer who per-
mits his plant to run down until II be-
came unsafe is exempt.
The suggestion I offer to remedy these
conditions is to enact a law giving all
cities. by referendum, the right 70 re-
dnce tho tax rate on buildings 10 per
cent. y year until the tax rate on build
ings shall he one-half the tax rate on
land. This suggestion is not new. nor Is
II radical. II is going into effect in cities
all over the country and was adoDted by
both Pittsburg and Scranton within the
last few weeks. Ii is not single tax
proposition. II is not even land tax,
strictly speaking, but. rather. tax on
land values which do not justly belong
TO the owner.
