Chairman Taylor, of County
Committee, Charges Mayor
DoubIe-orossed Organization.
SENATOR COLGATE HAS
WORD FOR NEWSPAPERS
Mr.. Pennington Thinks Ray
mondites if Beaten Will Line
Up With Regulars.

Declaring that Mayor Raymond was
willing and anxious, While running for
his office last fall, to accept aid and
work with the men in the Regular
Republican organization he is now
cg'iticising, and that after election he
went back on his promises to the or
ganization, County Chairman Herbert
W. Taylor defended the county COM
mittee from Mr.. Raymond's criticism
at its final meeting in headquarters
last night Not only were Chairman
Taylor's remarks q defense of the
committee, but he also intimated that
the mayor had even gone so far as to
make promises to County Counsel AL
fred N. Dalrymple for support and
then tried to scuttle the ship.
THE only thing that was asked of
the mayor was to keep the promises
made before election" declared Mr..
Taylor. This he failed to do"
Chairman Taylor was seconded by
Senator Colgate in his defense of the
county committee, and Mr.. Colgate
also spoke a good word for the regu-
lar Republican Assembly candidates.
Incidentally he and Mr.. Taylor dwelt
upon the treatment that regular Re-
newspapers. Some of these papers
are very unfair. both of the gentlemen
declared, hut Mr.. Colgate stated that
he had been treated so fairly by the
Evening Star that he was thinking of
turning Democrat.
Former Assemblyman and former
Alderman William Pennington, who
Is one of the regular Republican can
didates for freeholder, endeavored to
pour q little oil on the troubled wa
ters by declaring that no matter how
hard the Raymondites were fighting
the organization before the primaries,
he believed that should they be de-
feated in the primaries they will put
their shoulders to the wheel and work
hard for the regular candidates.
Compliment for Democratic Leaders.
David Benedict, of the Eleventh
ward, a former Raymondite, brought
forth applause when he declared that
"he wouldn't vote for Mayor Ray
mond again if ne was running for
city scayenger." He also paid a com.
pliment to James r. Nugent, of this
city, the local Democratic leader, and
Secretary Thomas Martin, of Hud-
son, who created much attention by
his leadership of the Democrats in
the Assembly last winter, by de-
tIlhI IL lie OoUlOCIdtS nbNo
politicians like Martin and Nugent,
it Is necessary for the Republicans
to have Dalrymple in the Republi-
can ranks"
II want to say a word or two as
usual before the primary" said Chair
man Taylor "Of course all of you
have heard criticism of our so-called
hand picked ticket. You know why
that ticket was suggested. We didn't
want a repetition of What happened
last year.
''I would like to call your attention
to the fact that the opponents of this
ticket are not saying one word against
the character of the men on 1T, be-
cause they know they are representa-
tive Republicans. Seyenty-five per
cent. of them have served the Repub-
lican party before
THE chief executive of this city
said last night, II the papers quote
him correctly, that the man who con-
trolled this ticket controlled the AS
sembly candidates, the freeholders and
the members of the Common Council.
IF he can do that he is some man.
You know that this is not so, how
ever.
Criticism for Mayor.
"The man who is making these
statements ran as a Republican, was
nominated as a Republican, after prf-
mary, supported as Republican, and
as most of you know would never
have been elected without this or
ganization. The very man he is criti-
cising now is the man he came to for
aid after the last primaries. II he
was all right then, why isn't he all
right now?
1.-THE same man says he was elected
n TT 1rNN II q 10
not SO. / submit that If a man Is
elected as a Republican should he not
consult the leaders Of his party?
"The only thing that was asked OF
the mayor was that he keep promises
he made before his election. This he
failed to do"
Referring to the primary situation,
the chairman said: I'VE have two
other Assembly tickets in the field.
The No-Boss ticket, born in mystery
and secrecy, needs no further atten-
tion from us. The other is the so
called Anti-Dal ticket.
RAYMOND Boss Himself.
This ticket was made up by few
appointees of the chief executive OF
this city. No man was permitted to
go on that ticket without the ap-
proval of the chief executive, made
IN by this man, who is said to have
the resignation of each appointee In
his safe.
when it comes to the question Of
bossism, which set OF candidates do
you think are under the subserviency
of a boss? 1t is our duty to place
these facts before the voters. You
