Especial to THE Jersey City News."1
SOMERVILLE, Sept. 26. 1soo-There Is
much dissatisfaction in Somerset County
among the supporters Of Colonel Bryan
over the nomination OF James j. Bergen
for Congress by the Democrats Of the
Ihird District. The dissatisfaction is
growing, as the Bryan men are becoming
informed as to the methods by which the
nomination was made on Saturday. Ber-
gen was supporter of Palmer and Buck
ner in 1896.
Somerset County did not want Mr.. Ber-
gen, his name was Missed when presented
in caucus and in convention, and it was
only because he had ben agred upon as
the candidate at a prior conference of the
leaders ofeMonmouth and Niddlesex that
he received the nomination. Monmouth
