Meet Tonight to Plan for Big
Lincoln Dinner on Mon
day, Feb. 13

Undismayed by their failure to
carry three of the four local offices
at stake, for the control of the city
government, at the last general cleo
ton, local Republicans are planning
one of the most aggressive cam
paigns ever conducted in this city
with a view of not only regaining
control of the city at the next cleo
ton, but also retaining their stand
ing as the party's stronghold in
Middlesex county; the latter honor
being accorded to the local members
of the party by casting an average
assembly vote of almost four thous-
and as against approximately $500
cast by New Brunswick Republicans
last November.
The opening gun of this years
campaign will be fired at an open
meeting of the members of the party
to be held at $3.50 O'Clock tonight in
the rooms of the Perth Amboy Re-
publican Club in the odd Fellows
building, when a committee will be
appointed and details arranged for
q Lincoln dinner to be held by the
LEGAL organization on Monday night.

evening will be Harold b. Wells, of
Bordentown, judge of the Burling-
ton county common pleas court and
a former state senator from that
county. Judge Wells ability as a
speaker is known throughout the
state and the local Republicans con-
slider themselves very fortunate in
securing his consent to speak here.

county will be present at the dinner.

sional district, the state and the
county, the local leaders will leave
nothing undone to pick winning
