The result of this primary VIII bring
to tho finale fight that has been waged
since the resignation of Mr.. Southall, and
in which n part has been played from
the Speaker of the House down TO the
voters.
Upon the resignation of Mr.. southali IT
was generally expected that the Speaker
would order an Immediate election to
FIJI the vacancy as he did in other cases
occurring Just prior and after this va
cancy occurred. He was called upon by
some and requested to call 1t. He was
asked to carry out what were supposed to

and did do in others. There were others
who had stronger influence, however.
and the Speaker took the side of these.
For this he has been charged by some
with using his position to subservo The
interest of his friends.
There was some sharp correspondence
occasioned by this action, and for quite
a while feeling Of resentment ran rife
with some who had been active In urging
the special election; nor has this entirely
subsidized as yet. What part 1T Will play
in the primary on Tuesday Is an ,ncer-

Perth Amboy evening news., 1903-10-12

A Perth Amboy crowd, interested
in athletics, was treated to something
brand new Saturday when they saw a
game of basket ball for the first time.
1t was PLAYED by two teams selected
from the girls of the High School
After the basket ball game the High
School football team defeated team
from the New Brunswick High School
by score of,11 to O.
The grounds were we'll filled at an
early hour. High school colored
banners, flags and ribbons were IN
every place. Yells were given and
the High School song was sung with
much vigor. At little after three
the opposing sevens, atIired in white
sweaters, short skirts and tennis slip
pers, strobe oaintily upon the field.
There were dignified Seniors, vivac-
ious Juniors, jolly Sophomores and
loquacious Freshmen In that fourteen.
One side wore red ribbons across the
front of their sweaters and was cap
tlined by Rose Blume. The other
wore blue ribbons and was led by
Jennie Brogger. At the knock off the
ball travelled toward the blues goal
and in this territory most Of the first
half was fought out. The reds tried
hard to bring it to their basket, but
were unable to score.
Almost as W. A. Belcher, timekeep-
er, was about to call time, Miss
Brogger made a basket for her team
and chorus of Obs and Abs went
up for the blues The half lasted 10
minutes.
The goal posts were pulled up and
the football warriors lined up for their
game. Hanson kicked off and New
Brunswick took to the center OF the
field. After few downs, Perth Am
boy was given ten yards, New Bruins
y 1yick being offside. Amboy then OBJ
tanned possession of the ball on downs
and lost it for being unable to take it
the required five yards,
The ball thus changed sides without
going more than Is yards toward
either goal, so evenly were the teams
matched. When the whistle blew
neither side had scored.
Now came the last of the basketball
and grand finish it was. The reds
came out determined to even the score
and nobly they worked to that end.
! Miss Brogga made another basket,
then back went the ball to the other
: goal and Gertrude Pfeiffer scored for
tle red.
After this came two more goals for
the blue ana even though the other
- s9ven strove to their utmost they were
l,not able to even the score and it stood
l:5 to at the end of this half, which
ssted ten minutes.

DEMOCRATS SPRUNG
SURPRISE SATURDAY.
RenOmnate Adam ECker for Aderman-aage and Name Hugh
TlmminS for Comptroller Excise Board has Sa|OOnkeep-
Caucus Before Convention was Long and Some Ernest
Discussion Took Place.
YOUNGER .ELEMENT WAS ALL FOR TIMMINS.

The Democratic city convention
sprung surprise Saturday night in
fixing their ticket for the coming
election. Their nominations are as
follows: Alderman -at-Large, Adam
Eekert; comptroller, Hugh Timmlns;
Commissioners of Appeal, Thomas
Langan, Martin Momberg and William
Buchanan; for Excise Commissioners,
Chris Meshrow, Soren Olsen, James
J. Garland, John J. Clark and Patrick
Rocks.
That the conference which was held
before the convention was not entire
ly harmonious was evident when the
delegates did not make their appear
ance until after O. 'clcok. There was
small number of citizens on hand to
hear the result, but the enthusiasm
was about equal to that at the Repub-
lican city convention.
1t is understood that the caucus was
prolonged in an effort to get William
D. Voorhees, renominated for comp
troller. One of the delegates said the
fight was hard and long, but that q
younger element prevailed and they
wanted Mr.. Timmins. There was
also some objection to the Excise
Commissioners as named. James J.
Garland is saloonkeeper and it was
argued that saloonkeeper should not
be pct on the Excise Board, but the
majority thought differently and his
name went down. -
When it was seer the younger Sen
were determined to have their W
the delegates filed out, some wore
smiling faces and others were very
sober. 1t was easy to see who was in
control.
E. M. Kelly called the convention
to order and Richard M. White was
made chairman and George M. Adair
was elected secretary. The Domlna-
tions then followed in rapid succession
and the convention adjourned within
few minutes. 1t was noticed the
voting was very weak although no
one voted in the negative and the
candidates were all declared the reg
ular non.inees. "A
1t is understood that ~. GarlaD6
has since declined to run.

THE CHURCH
is GROWING.
Grace English Lutheran Church
Receive Many new Member
at Yesterdays Services.

Very impressive services were held
in Grace Lutheran church yesterday
morning. HOLY communion was ad-
minstered, wnen forty five communed
At this service two more were con-
firmed, making total of ten adults
who were confirmed this fall into the
Lutheran church.
But still a greater surprise was in
store for the congregation when the
pastor read off the names of seventeen
persons who joined by letter of dis
missal or by profession of faith. AS
these persons stood around the plat
form, receiving the congratulations
of the church, one could not but say
that good results are emanating from
the hard and lndefatigable work of
the pastor.
If the increase continues at this
rate, the English Lutheran church is
destined to become quite a factor in
this community.
The following were elected officers
of the Junio~ Luther League of Grace
church, Saturday afternoon: Presi-
dent, Gladys Eilert; first vice presi-
dent, Grace Raudenbush; second vice
president, Howard Rooms; third vice
president, Herman Schwartz; secre-
tary, Sadie Miller; treasurer Rev E.
J. Keuling: organist, Myrl Eilert.
The Junior League number now
twenty five. They meet every Satur-
day afternoon and are under the
efficient instructions and care of the
pastor, Rev. Z. ]. Keuling.
