Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, August 1O.--General
Theodore F. Armstrong, was strongly
endorsed for Governor, at a meeting
of the Democrats of the first and sec
ond districts of the hundred in Cen
tire Hall last night In addition to
adopting a resolution endorsing Gem
eral Armstrong. the resolution also
requested, that the delegates to the
State Convention vote for him as
long as he has a chance and use every
honorable means to bring about his
nomination. These delegates we're
nominated last night; John Pearce
Cam. Eben B. Frazer and Andrew l..
Fisher. This however does not bar
any other Democrat from becoming a
candidate for delegate as the time
for filing names does not expire until
August %, but IL is not expected that
anyone else will file from these dis
tricts. White Clay Creek. will no
doubt send a solid delegation of FIVE
TO Dover for General Armstrong. as
II is understood the third or Chris
tiana district, will select Armstrong
men when the meeting is held. No
gates because of the fact that the
County Committee, recently decided
that the names of alternates would
not be placed on the primary ballot.
Each delegate will select his own al
ternate.
