Bridgeton pioneer., 1903-08-27


There will be no contests for dele
gates either in Vineland or Millville
SO far as the Surrogate campaign is
concerned. Bray will have no opposi-
tion in Vineland and Millville will
give Thompson five delegates and
Bray eight without any opposition
against each other. There will be
some show of contest in Bridgeton
but there are none who disagree with
the contention of the Thompson fol-
lowers that the Doctor will have nine
teen delegates of this city by over
whelming majorities.
City Recorder F. L. Hewitt is ar
ranging to have the election officers
to be appointed tomorrow. to meet
at City Hall one week from tonight
1t is his purpose to have the entire
Board of Election officers know fully
what the primary election law pro-
vides, and at the meeting on MONDAY
the explanation of the entire law will
be made full and clear.
