man Edwin Hayes.
Considerable dissatisfaction Is
shown by Democratic organization
workers here over the manner III

carried out this year. They claim

which are arising between those
seeking office. The feeling here
| against the Perth Amboy Democrats
Is not of the best and has resulted
in several men who would make
good candidates refusing to run,
fearing the treatment they would
receive at the hands of the Perth
Amboy voters. On the other hand
reports from Perth Amboy are to
the effect that their candidates fear
being cut by the New Brunswick
