OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
Walter A. Simpson Assumes
Leadership and Is Just as
Militant as Ever.

Loyal followers of the lost cause of
Armageddon in Essex county have de-
termined to put complete ticket in
the field for the coming campaign, ac,
cording to the statement made this
morning by Walter A. Simpson. Sec
retary of the executive committee of
the Progressive party. Mr. Simpson
insisted that the prospects were
roseate for success because of the
disSensions which exist in the ranks
of the local Republican organization.
we are not in the least dismayed
by the desertion of such luke-warm
Progressives as Edmund Burke Os-
borne and his ilk," asserted Mr.. Simp-
SON Our organization is intact and
is stronger today than 1t was last
year owing to the squabbles which
are rending the c.. o. P. in Essex
county asunder. The regulars under
Alfred N. Dalrymple, the independ
ents under Mayor Raymond and the
No Boss League under the con-
glomerate leadership of factional in
terests have put the Republican party
in an interesting predicament. All

the field and they will divide the
normal Republican vote between
them. Not a single one of these or
ganizations will draw to any extent
upon the Progressive strength. Con-
sequently we feel that we are certain
to make an excellent showing"
Mr.. Simpsons statement, coming as
it did upon the heels of an executive
committee meeting held last night at
Progressive party headquarters, at I'll
Halsey street, may be taken as an
official indication of the plans of the
Bull Moose leaders. AT the meeting
it was unanimously decided to place
a full ticket in the field this year and
a nominating committee of three was
appointed to compile county and
city slate. The committee consists
of Edgar S. Bostock, of Nutley; How
ard S. Dodd, of Glen Ridge, and Ed
ward j. Stevens, of this city.
Until the committee has completed
its work and made it's report" said
Mr.. Simpson, ''it will not be definitely
known just who the candidates will
be but we have on hand list of
names which forms the nucleus or
an exceptionally strong ticket and ef-
forts will be made to persuade these
men 10 dCCept IOlliIlidllOiS.
For register, Howard S. Dodd, OF
Glen Ridge, has been suggested. He
is O. prominent lawyer in Manhattan
and is popular throughout Essex
county. As candidate for the Board of
Works. George NJ. Judd and George
NJ. Denny would make an invincible
combination. Mr.. Denny resigned last
night as chairman of the Progressive
executive committee by reason OF the
fact that he has accepted nomlna-
ton for Board of Works on the Ray
mondite ticket. He still remains
Progressive, however, as he declared
las night and as is evident from the
text of his letter which is as follows:
Having been nominated as can
didate in the coming primary for the
Board - of Works by the Anti-Dal
League, ] would ask you to accept
lny resignati ton as chairman OF the
executive committee.
"Jn municipal affairs / believe 1t is
the duty of each citizen to act lnde-
pendantly to serve the best interests
of the municipality and / feel that
by becoming a candidate Tor the
Board of Works, supported as VIII
be by the great number of independ-
ent voters of the city of Newark,
am carrying on, in a practical way,
the lubdlS VI Tie i LpSiNSSifS
with whom | have been so closely
associated for so long a time,
by accepting the nomination,
assure YOU | am no less a Progress
give. but believe that under the cir
cl1nstances | should resign as chair
man of the executive committee.
Trusting you will accept my resiG-
nation and assuring you of my active
and earnest support in the good work
which will be done in future by the
Progressives of Newark and Essex
County. | am yours, sincerely,
(Signed) GEO. M. DENNY"
Considerable pressure was brought
10 bear on Mr.. Denny to reconsider
his resignation. but he said he could
not see his way clear to hold the
chairmanship and his resignation
was consequently accepted
