so. AMB0Y SATURDAY
Notices Issued for Meeting of Coun-
ty Executive Committee at Elks'
Rooms In New Brunswick
on Saturday.

this city 1s no more pronounced tnan
that shown throughout the county
and the meetings already arranged
are enough to make the candidates
fear for their powers of endurance.
A much-mooted question just now
is whether William Jennings Bryan
will speak here This matter may be
summed up in few words-if he
comes to New Jersey he will speak
in Perth Amboy and New Brunswick.
Every effort toward that end is be-
ing made by the active county chair
man, Thomas H. Hagerty, but moth
Ing definite has yet been learned by
him. If the Great Commoner comes
this way, he will give short address
in New Brunswick, then be hurried
to this city for brief outdoor
speech and then to Railway, to be
turned over into the charge of the
Union County Committee. 1t is es-
tinated that at least 10000 persons
would assemble to at least get a
glimpse of the democratic standard
bearer, coming from surrounding
towns in great numbers.
