TO Be CHANGED
Rumor That Only One Polling
Place Will Be Used Anglers
New Idea Men.

A rumor was current in Kearny today
that the plans for holding the Repub-
lican primaries there had been changed.
These primaries will be for the selec-
ton of delegates to the State and con-
gressional conventions, and the date has
beer set for April 2S.
In the original plans, it is said that
each ward was to have it's own polling
place, but the rumor now has it that
the new plan is to hold the primary in
but one place in the town, and compel
the voters of all the wards to vote at it.
This news has caused anger on the
part of the New Idea Republicans, and
an effort will be made to prevent it.
There are to be 1--we delegates selected
for TIL State convention, and about sew
enteen to the congressional.
Both factions have tickets in the field
and a lively contest is looked for.
