COLBY ACCEPTS Def
Ex-senator Agrees to Meet
Osborne in Joint Debate.
BITTER FEELING REIGNS
Kruger Auditorium, Newark
To Be Scene of Wordy Duel
Between Rival Moose.

Ex-senator Everett Colby and Edmund
b. Osborne, the belligerent candidates for
the Progressive nomination for Governor
Of New Jersey at the coming primaries,
have decided TO fight the whole thing out
in a Joint debate in the biggest hall in
Newark September II. When Mr.. Colby
reached his office yesterday he found
there a letter from Mr.. Osborne challeng-
ing him to a debate at the Kruger Audi
torium He at once accepted the chal-
lenge. sz
Mr.. Osborne submitted two plans to Nr.
Colby, and he chose the one by which
each speaker is TO have an hour and
quarter total time, each TO devote as much
time as he chooses to his opening, and to
have the remainder for reply or replies:
the second speaker TO have the right to
submit to his opponent not exceeding ten
questions, limited 10 fifty words each, to
be read by the chairman at the opening OF
the debate"
The campaign between the two Progress
sives has become exceedingly acrimonious,
and in a letter given to the public to-day
Mr. Colby says that IL is a matter OF
much regret to him that Mr.. Osborne re-
fuses to go through the campaign with
out charging him with dishonesty He
says, however, that he will not permit MI.
Osborne TO accuse him of Intentionally
breaking his word without an earnest
denial and protest.
The cause of Mr.. Colby's ire was a
statement by Mr.. Osborne that Mr.. Colby
had promised 10 support him for Gov
ernor. which Mr. Osborne endeayored TO
prove by quoting conversation that took
place at a conference on May MI
Colby charges that Mr.. Osborne delib-
erately suppressed the most important
part of that conversation. which he had
previously acknowledged as true.
Mr.. Colby quotes the following from a
letter written by Mr.. Osborne on July T.
detailing what took place at the confer
| ence:
only last Friday / lunched with Mr
Osborne. he told me he wanted to be
candidate for Governor, and assured
him | would support him with the 6reat-
est pleasure | told him l did not wan,
TO be a candidate. and would not be, IN
less the leaders were practically unan-
imous in the belief that l should rum
why did Mr.. Osborne quote these lines
on July and suppress them In the state
ment he gave the press Saturday. Mr..
Colby asks. could II have been Tor any
other reason than because the last Two
lines in the statement show clearly that

do so. and that. therefore, could not
have given my word TO support him be-

further comment upon this method OF po-
litical warfare. because personal abuse
