Big Wide Gathering to Be Held
In Newark-Edge and Frelinghuysen
to Be Guests of Honor-Former Gov
ernors and Other NotabIes to Be Spe-
oially Invited.
Newark, Oct. 25.-An epoch-making
event in New Jersey political history
will be the big reception which is to
be given here by the former Progress
sives of the State on the evening of
Wednesday, Nov. 1, to Joseph S. Ere
linghuysen, Republican candidate for
United States Senator, and Walter E..
Edge, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. 1t will be held in the Palace
Ball Room, at Washington and Bleeck-
er streets, one of the largest public
halls in Newark.
To Remove All Dissension.
The significance of the gathering lies
In the fact that it has been planned
for the purpose of removing the last
vestige of d~issension between the Re-
publican regulars and Progressiyes
and of rallying all factions and ele-
ments under one party banner for the
loyal and active support of the whole
Republican ticket. In other words, it
Is intended to be the complete and final
amalgamation in New Jersey of the
members of the warning factions in the
Republican party which split the party
in twain and are now supporting the
same candidates after one of the fac
tons vainly endeavored to maintain a
separate party.
Specially Invited Guests.

everyone to attend. Especially invited
guests of honor, in addition to the can
didates for United States Senator and

Plans Are Formulated.
The project of holding the reunion"
originated with a number of men who
had been leaders in the Progressive
party in New Jersey, and the general
plans for the gathering were formulat-
I'd by them. 1t is significant that these
plans took definite form at an informal
conference at the headquarters of the.
Republican State Committee in this
CITY. The Republican State chairman
happened to be in the headquarters at
the time and was called into the con-
/ terence ut cADlCSSCo SACdC I'LL
ton at the proposed action in behalf
of party harmony and readily agreed
to the plan of holding such a reunion
under Progressive auspices.
Great Thing For Party Ticket.
SIT will indeed be a record breaking
event." said State Chairman Hughes
today, "as it will mark the complete
and harmonious reunion of the Repub-
licans and Progressives. We all feel
that we are already united, but we
want everybody to know it, and this oc-
casion will disseminate that knowledge
broadcast. Nothing better could hap
pen for the success of the entire Re-
publican ticket in New Jersey"
