Camden county Elects Solid Delegation
and Gloucester is Almost Unani-
mous-Cape Mays Break.
Republicans of the First New Jersey
Congressional district held lively primar-
les Monday, to choose delegates to the
convention, which meets in Cape Nav on
Thursday. The opposition to Congress
man Il. c. Loudeuslager made fight,
but midnight reports indicate that it was
practically resultless. Camden county
elected solid delegation, 40 votes, for
Loudenslager Gloucester county gives
him 70 out Of its 80, and Salem ali but
five of its s., and Cumberland 40. In
Cape May county, where Mayor James
M. f. Hildreth had concentrated the
opposition, the Loudenslager forces,stb5a,
midnight indications were that Loud sn41
Slayer had captured everything except
Cape May City. In Middle township,
where the light was fierce, 2l1 votes were
poiled, and the Loudenslager delegates
won by A majority. The Congressman
Will be renominated on the first ballot.
In Cumberland.
! In this county there was some opposi-
ton expressed to Congressman Loutlen-
Slayer, and the result is that be wifi have
about half Of the delegation.
! In Brldgeton there was no contest. The
delegates were simply unpledged and 90
to the convention to use their own iudg-
ment. In Lands, the same state of
affairs exist. In Millville it is under
stood that the delegation will be for the
Congressman's denomination. There
were contests there, but it was for local
supremacy and not fight against Mr..
Loudenslager.
| In Fairfield and Lawrence, anti Loud
enslager delegates won over a ticket for
the Congressman, but in the other town
ships delegates favorable to Mr.. Louden-
Slayer were chosen.

Gloucester County's Voice.
WOODBURY., n. j., July 1.-The con-
tests for delegates to the Republican Con-
gresslonal Convention in Gloucester
county, Congressman Loudenslager's
home, were spirited enough to suit the
most eXactlng campaigner tonight. A
tremendous effort was made in this city
to elect delegates opposed to the popular
Congressman. Two of the three wards
elected unpledged delegates, but the other
ward elected five favorable to the Con-
gressman's re- nomination. Reports from
the county show that five anti-Louden-
Slayer delegates are probably elected in
Monroe township, where the opposition
was strongest; but Loudenslager cap
tnred all the rest of the county. He will
therefore, have rs of the SO from his own
county.
The primaries in Camden passed off
very quietly, though large vote was
polled, and resulted in the election of a
solid delegation favorable to the renomi-
nation of Congressman Loudenslager.
The principal fights were in the First
and Second wards, where Lawyer John
Fort ran delegates in his interest. In
both wards the JIoudenslager delegates
We're elected by overw whelming majorities.
The vote in the First ward was 353 to 25.
/ In the Second ward there were 450 votes
poiled, of which the Loudenslager dele
gates secured 32S. The entire county
went for Loudenslager.
