Primary elections, to elect delegates to
the State Delegate Convention, to elect
delegates to the National Democratic Con-
yeution to nominate candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States, will be held throughout this county
at 7.3O p. M, next Saturday evening. We
are sure all Democrats appreciate the i'm
portance of these meetings, and will make
them business proposition. Give to them
the time necessary to make them represen-
tative; send loyal Democrats as your repre-
sentatives; if You have choice of candi-
dates, instruct them to vote for such Ma
tional delegates as viii represent you in the
gerat national gathering at st. Louis on
July g. The great Presidential campaign
Of 1904 may be said to begin with these
primary meetings, and the demand that
shall go out from them will be heard in
the greater gathering Of delegates Of State
Nation. Democrats of Gloucester will be
factor in shaping the destinies of the
party in State and National councils in
proportion as they evince interest in their
own town primaries The stake is too big
to be allowed TO GO by default. Earnest
ness and sincere regard for country and
party shonId attend party action until the
close Of the battle next November.
