Opponents of Edmund B. Osborne
as a Progressive candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination are rejoic-
ing that former Senator Everett Col
by has announced his entry into the
field to oppose the Montclair man.
This is especially welcome news in
the southern part of the State, where
sentiment for Colby is daily growing
stronger among landowners who will
be hit by Osborne's single tax plat
form plank.
The single tax, in theory,~-is the
elimination of levies on all buildings
and other improvements, and owners
of undeveloped areas realize that this
cost, removed from the buildings, will
apply against vacant tracts to the
owners disadvantage The senti-
ment In the northern part of the
State, too, is rolling up for Colby as
shown by a recent poll of the Repub-
lican voters in Morristown, where, out
of 20S men seven-tenths announced
their willingness to vote for the
former senator.
Progressives are commencing Colby
for his Look before you leap" policy
Before he ran for State senator in
1905 he gathered the Republican lead
ers about him at his home in West
Orange, asked them how he stood
around the county, then, after think
ing the situation over, announced
thathe was in the running. He did the
same thing this week, taking counsel
with Andrew Knox, OF Hudson; j. A
Hopkins, of Morristown, Mayor w.
V. Moy, Of Plainfield; Judge Adrian
Lyon, of Middlesex; William A. Lord,
Algernon T. Sweeney and Irving K.
Taylor, of Essex; Sheriff William
Bright. of Cape May, and former As
semblyman Frank B. Jess, of Cam
den, and then announcing himself,
after thinking the thing over. His
platform is now being formed, and
will be announced some time next
week at public meeting.
Edmund B. Osborne has left politi-
cal cares behind him for a few days.
He is spending the time In Maine, and
will probably return early next week.
Wittpenn refuses to be downed. He
has started his campaign in full swing
and his lieutenants in this county
got together early this week and or
ganized the H. Otto Wittpenn Demo-
cratic League with an initial men,

"Cirl in Taxi" at the Newark,
"Fledermaus" The Bat")
at Olympic Park.

Following the preservation this
week of serious drama, Manager Jo-
seph w. Payton has selected a merry
farce for next weeks Offering 1t is
1.-THE Girl in the Taxi In it's adap-
tation New York instead of Paris is
made the place of action, and two of
the three scenes are laid in a banker
residence on Riverside Drive The
second act represents two adjoining
private dining-rooms at Churchill's.
The stage setting is sumptuous and in
strict keeping in every detail. There
will be daily matinees and popular
prices will prevail.
The leading character is BERTHE
Stewart, the bankers son, just turned
81. His father, himself a gay boy, is
determined to keep the youth Sc
cluded from the follies of Broadway
and therefore restricts him to an in
come of SIS week. One night Bertie's
cousin, who comes to New York from
Philadelphia for treatment for an as
sumed cough, sneaks out of the bank
er's house to meet girl he had pre-
viously encountered in a taxi. Berthe
gets there first, has a supper party
with the fair lady and begins to en-
Joy himself.
In the next private dining-room,
supping with some ladies of the
chorus, is Bertie's father, who gen.
erously invites in the people next
door. There is a scene in which both
father and son are pretty badly dis
comfited, particularly as the seventh
husband of the girl puts in an APP
pearance but all proves harmless and
everything is Strengthened out in the
last act.
In this farce, which is sprightly
without being salacious. Neal Byrne
will play the youthful BERTHE, Miss
Mabelle Estelle is the girl" Claude
Payton has the role of the surprised
father, and the latter's nephew, Percy
Peters, will be taken by Arthur Jar
rett. All the other parts will be well
cast, among those appearing being
Harry B. Roche and Miss Lillian
Stuart.

In the Field of Politics

Rhodabeck, vice-president; William
A. McTague, financial secretary;
George E. Byrne, recording secretary,
and Charles H. Hart, treasurer. The
organization takes the stand that
| Wittpenn is the only candidate be-
fore the people who is absolutely
pledged to continue the policies in
augurated by President Wilson.
Rhodabeck has resigned from the
executive committee of the Woodrow
, Wilson League. He gave as his
reason the leagues failure to indorse
a candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination, but his former fellow
members of the committee say that
the criticism that arose out of his at
tempt to have Wittpenn indersed was
the real motive that prompted him to
withdraw.

The senator and assemblymen
from Essex are hoping that Acting
Governor Fielder will wait until it is
very much cooler than it is now be-
fore calling a special session of the
Legislature. There are two reasons
that necessitate an extra session. One
embargo on the sale of Newark
leather in Massachusetts and the
other reasons is the doubt in the
Walsh commission act The situation
concerning the leather must neces-
sarily greatly injure Newark leather
manufacturers and their workmen,
unless it is remedied, and the doubt
in the Walsh act is affecting several
cities in the State.
The Glen Ridge Civic Committee
has announced the slate for borough
officers. Mayor David H. Standish

selves, and Lehigh Davies and Alfred

Hinck defeated Frank B. Hague by

championship next year; some one
else can have It," Hinck said after
the contest.
Hinck won the first two sets and
led at 80 on games in the third by
his drives and volley shots. The
rapid footing brought about cramps
in his legs, and he let up in his work,
so that Hague scored the third and
fourth sets. Hinck, although crippled
by cramps, sailed into the fifth set.
Four times he tumbled over because
of the knotting muscles in his legs.
But he kept at 1t and finished the
