The battle has been fought at Pau sboro

Such an election contest has never before
been waged in this county and perhaps will
never be again in this century. It was more
than a single days battle, too, and one il

tumbled INTO bed as soon as the votes were
counted, and for forty-eight hours the only
sound in Paulsboro proceeded from the
bedrooms Of the otherwise silent town.

Ticket had won and that's all she knew
about the election. Our reporter woke up

IN regard 10 the selection Of sponsor, the

choice OF the woman officiating in that capacity.
and asserts that precisely the same course pur~

out that the contractors always defray the ex-

governing such affairs, particularly in reference
TO the selection Of guests and OF a sponsor. The
discussion arose while the Governor was absent
