The Republican county committeeman
selected last evening the thirty-six. polling
places at which the delegates to the State
Convention will be voted for at the regular
Republican primary next Wednesday.
All the eighteen members OF the COM
mittee were on hand at the crowded Re-
publican headquarters at $50 Market street
and the mem bers representing the Fourth
and Fifth districts formed separate bodies
for the TRANSACTION of business. As the
business was that of arranging details the
committees held executive meetings in
private rooms.
The division of the various Assembly
districts into two polling districts each,
the fixing of polling places and the adop-
ton of slight amendments to the election
call adopted a week ago constituted the
work accomplished. The list of polling
places and the precincts comprising the
polling districts will be found in the off,
clal call, published entire in another col
umn of this paper. Most of the county
committeeman filed their nominations for
election officers, but election officers will
not be officially named until next Monday
evening.
Both committees decided that the hours
originally fixed at from 8 A. NJ. to P. NJ.
were unnecessarily lOllS anu Iut -all WIS
amended by providing that the polls
should be open from 1 to Z P. NJ. Another
amendment makes it necessary that nomi-
nations for delegates to be voted for be
flied with the secretary of the proper COM
mittee on or before noon of next Monday
TO receive recognition.
The polling places named by the county
committeeman were in nearly every in
stance approved after careful considera-
ton of the surroundings and the conven-
fence of the places nam ed. The division
of the Assembly districts into polling dis
tricts was likewise carefully considered
with reference to an equal division OF the
voting strength and the convenience OF the
residents. There was entire harmony IN
both committees as to the action taken
and all interests were given fair consider
alton, as they will be in the selection OF
election officers.
The committees will meet again next
Monday evening at Republican headquar-
tiers TO appoint election officers and COM
plete the details of primary arrange
ments.
Republicans throughout the City are
taking lively interest in the coming pri-
mary and in most of the districts tickets
are being made no.
In the Forty-tirst District the Repub-
lcan clubs have federated for the purpose
OF nominating ticket and one of these,
the Mckinley Club, will meet tonight q,

Sixty-eight members of the Republican
Executive Council met IN Judge Bahr's
courtroom at the City Hall last evening and
finally decided that the present executive
committee should be the campaign COM
mittee. William Schmedke and J. Good
man were admitted as delegates from the
newly organized club of the Thirty-fi first
District. 1t was decided that the execu-
tive committee should meet on other
nights than those on which the council
meets, in order to facilitate business.
