DELEGATES NAMED BY YOUNG REPUBLICANS

Radical Republcanism pervaded the
rooms of the local political club Tuesday
evening, when the membership turned
out in response to a call of secretary
John Barrett, for the purpose OF showing
preferences for the various delegates TO
the state and congressional conventions.
The selections at the meeting must OF
course be placed on the primary tickets
that are to be voted on Tuesday, Sep
tember IS. While the chosen ones re-
ceived unanimous approval, the clubs
action is not at all final, as the law
allows any man the privilege OF becom
ing ii candidate for delegate to either OF
the conventions at the coming primary
election.
Lewis Ii. Barrett and William Chan
uells were endorsed as Pleasantville ;
representatives on the County Executive
Committee If elected these men will b.
their own successors.
Pleasantville is entitled to two repre-
sentatives at the state or gubernatorial
convention, and Charles J. Adams, presi-
dent of the Young Mems Republican
Club, and Hugh Collins, We're endorsed
as delegates from the first and second
precincts respectively.
-Four delegates come to the lot of the
borough to attend the congressional CON
vention and Franklin L. Smith and Will
lam Channels have been named by the
club as first precinct delegates. Edward
Willets and Japhet Price were selected
to represent the second precinct.
No Instructions
Personalities Republican Club was
one of the first of the South Jersey or
CARNATIONS to endorse Vivian Nj. Lewis
for Governor, John j. Gardner for con
gress, Walter +. Edge for the senate and
Isaac Bacharach for the assembly, there
fore, inasmuch as the slated delegates
are all club members instructions" We're
unnecessary and out of place; their sue
cess at the primary election will b.
tantamount to all that is expected OF
party regularity and fidelity.
Each one of the chosen delegates is 4
man of pronounced Republican convic
tions, selected for the express purpose
of cementing and healing factionalism
and preventing, if possible, strong antag
onism to the regular ticket Unless TIN"
signs of the times are blown away con
ditions do not augur well for political
love feast-at least in this borough
for the local leaders. There are two
squabbes that have started long swells
moving, one of which is the we'll worn
fight of the people against the super
visor of public schools, and the other is
the dissatisfaction of many men over
the failure of the first movement to Sc
cure reduction of trolley fares. This
movement revolyed around the heads of
the local Republican organization, it is
claimed, and the outcome or failure is
placed at the feet of the men who are
in control. The leaders complain that
this is a narrow view and one not quite
in keeping with the compromise meas
ures they put forth These same men
are inclined to discount the Citizens
League effort. adding that the last nam
ed movement is little less than a boom
erang. They also claim to see the hands
of certain down and out politicians loom
ing in the background of all Citizens
League meetings. There is one thing
certain, that if these things are true a
hot fight is in store this fall in Pleas
antvilIe,
The fight against Marsteller is almost
certain to be injected into the coming
election, and all because there are men
