Cause of Honest
Primaries.

The chief business transacted at the
meeting of the Honest Primary League"

cago platform and candidates, and the
endorsement of Frank Kimmerly for
Sheriff, Henry Hess for Surrogate and
Mayor Edward A Kenny of East New
ark for Congress.

was not as large as the one held Tues

William J. Dynan reported that every
district in Hoboken and North Hudson
was organized, three watchers having
been appointed for each precinct.
William Bell, the Kearny delegate re-
ported that as yet they had not organized
in that district. He said that it was un-
necessary any way as the primaries there
had always been over and above board
and as they all knew each other there
was no chance for any hoodlums to get
in and create a rumpus.
Secretary Jacob then reported that the
Democratic enrellments in Jersey City
Thursday night showed an increase of Is

out of IS, and that they were all right,
although he did not doubt but what in
some cases they would bear examina-
ton.

the enrolment in some precincts was ir-
regular. Where a person did not enroll
in person he should have been vouched
for by two enrolled Democrats, but the
officers carried some names over, he said
without strict obedience to that rule.
