MAKES REPLY
Defends Right to Write Per-
sonal Letters and Explains
North Jersey Position.
BIZ Specia, Corresrorder,.

BIZ Special Correspondent
JERSEY CITY, Jan. 5:-Col.
Austen Colgate replied today TO those
who have criticized him for writing
letters to his friends enlisting their
support of his candidacy for the
United States senate. He said in part:
Upon my return after several
days absence from the state my at
tention was directed to several press
dispatches, the writer of which has
apparently taken me to task for seek
ing the support OF my Republican
friends in the coming United States
senatorial campaign on the plea that
North Jersey is entitled to the nom
ination, as South Jersey is now repre-
sented In the upper house of con-
gress. and is also in practical control
of state affairs.
First, l am told that ! have no
right to seek support by writing per-
sonai letters to my personal friends,
and second, I am chided because I
am told that Senator Frelinghuysen
comes from Somerset county, which
county. L am also told, l should know
is not in South Jersey.
DO not believe there Is any merit
IN the first criticism directed against
my writing personal letters to any of
~NS PNt7oliai OF IN TACT in
writing letters to any one. I believe
such criticism is puerile and childish
With regard to the second criti-
clsm, as every school boy knows, ge-
Geographically speaking, Somerset
county is not southern county. How
ever, l was not discussing geography,
geodetics or geology when l made
the statement that North jersey is
emitted to representation. was
making a political statement, ad-
dressed to men interested and famil-
lar with political affairs. Every man
to whom the statement was made
knew L was referring to New Jersey
from a political standpoint.
Politically speaking, the Raritan
river always has been considered the
boundary line between North Jersey
and South Jersey. And every one
known that Senator Frelinghuysen
lives on the banks of the Raritan
river.
However, it is not my deJire,
neither is it my intention, to base my
candidacy on a question of sectional
ism; at hesame time l believe it both
| reasonable and fair to point to the
fact that just now North Jersey, polit-
icaily speaking. has very little. if any
representation in the conduct and
management OF the government oi
New Jersey.
Every important Office in New
Jersey is now held by men from South
Jersey. The Governor, the State Treas.
! urer, the State Comptroller. the Al,
| torney General. the State Purchasing
Agent, the leader of the Senate and
the Speaker of the House of Assem-.
| bly, are all South Jersey men, speak.
