G. 0. P. COUNTY COMMITTEE
HOLDS 4 MEETING HERE

A special meeting of the Middle,
sex County Republican Committee
was held last night in the Perth
Amboy Republican Club rooms for
the purpose of adopting a resolution
requesting the county clerk to put
the names of the Republican candi-
oates in the South River local cleo
ton on the ballots. The Republic
can did not have any candidates
names or the ballots at the primary
election with the result that G.. o. p.
voters wrote in the names of their
fayorites. These persons never sig
nified their acceptance of the nomi-
nation and legally there were no
candidates. Learning of this condi-
ton the county committee passed the
resolution which will result in the
names of these persons being legally
PLACID on the ballot. Three candi-
dates attended the meeting, Free
holders Dey and Orpen and John A.
Smith, the first two seeking reelec-
ton and the latter a candidate for
the assembly.
A rally of the Republican women
voters of the sixth ward will be held
in Christensen's Hall in Brace ave-
nue on Thursday afternoon of next
week at 3 o'clock. The committee
which arranged and is in charge of
this meeting consists of Mrs. Helen
Ryan and Mrs. Damon Tyrrell. Can
didates have been invited OF attend.
A special meeting of the City Re-
publican committee will be held In

a business meeting of committeeman
and committeewomen to make re-
ports and receive instructions rela-
tive to next Tuesdays registration
