NJ, OF the day before the election that an
opposition will be sprung tomorrow by per-
sons claiming % be independents but really
Republicans in disguise with the hope of
defeating at least TWO Of the candidates for
the House OF Delegates recently nominated
iD our primary.
MY information is from the most reliable
source and ain forced % believe that il il |
true though had thought that these sore
heads ana malcOnteuts lad given over their |
efforts, al least for the present
The plan they now propose Is to put on |
their ticket the names of two OF our nOmi- |
nees and the names OF the two men recently /
nominated or suggested in tho sO-caied con. |
veutiOn of labOrng men. and who declined |
20 enter our primary though especially invited |
10 do So. The thus expect to show their
STRENGTH in n preliminary skrmish and to
fight the real battle for the control Of the CITY
offices next spring.

danger 10 the best interests Of our city in the
near future. The only remedy is to meet

compshed by polling our full strength to.

movement do not represent the wOrkingiuen |
