J was unique harmony party, and
among The vice-presidents who sat
on the stage were noticed a number
of tie "Anti-Dals,' whom, il might
be stated, kept religiously to them
selves and did not seem to mix with
the organization men who were PRES
ent.
The meeting was an unqualified
success, from a. party standpoint.
There was plenty of enthusiasm dis
played by the gathering, which filled
the hall comfortably, and in which
there was a good representation of
the fair sex.
The meeting was opened by Herbert
w. Taylor chairman of the Republi-
can County Committee, who intro
duced former Governor Murphy as

given warm welcome when he
stepped to the front of the platform.

Mr.. Murphy Appeals for Party support.
I'VE are here tonight to open a
campaign which we believe will result
in the election of a Republican House
of Assembly. Republican Board OF
Freeholders, Republican county regis
ter and Republican Board of Works.
The candidates are known to most
of you, perhaps ell. and some of them
have already been tried and found
worthy.
"They are all nominees of the Re-
publican party. They were nominated
in an open contest at the polls and
their victory was overwhelming.
mayor Raymond and several other
Anti-Dal leaders sat almost directly
behind Governor Murphy.) / believe
all of the candidates are entitled to
your earnest, cordial and enthusiastic
support and undoubtedly they will
get It,.
1T would be unwise for me to at
tempt to make any lengthy speech,
both on account of my voice and be-
cause the other speakers are possibly
more familiar with the subjects you
want to hear about than am.
1T must say, however the Issues of
this election and it's results are by no
means purely local. 1t is an important
election to us, there is no doubt about
that.
"It is of Importance to the State Of
New Jersey, the County Of Essex and
the city of Newark, but it is of
greater Importance to the nation at
large. / happen to know the views
of the national committee and they
are that it is necessary for an in
spring result to come from the COM
ing election for next year, we will
elect President and Congress. and
change from reign of adversely to
one of prosperity. Therefore, J. beg
of you all to make whatever sac
rifices may be necessary to go to the
polls on November 2 and cast your
ballots for the Republican can
didates."
Senator Colgate was introduced as
the first speaker of the evening by the
chairman. In opening his address
the senator paid a splendid tribute to
Mr.. Murphy.
You should be congratulated, said
the senator, "in having such a splen-
did chairman to preside at this meet
ing as Governor Murphy He is one
of our most prominent citizens and
successful business men, and has Q
grand record for service to this State
He still maintains his interest In
the Republican party and finds time
to come out and render whatever as
sistance he can to the party.
