SCHOOL HERE TOMORROW
DESPITE PRIMARY ELECTION

There will be school tomorrow.
This was definitely settled to-
day when superintendent Samuel
T.. Shull stated that arrange
ments had been completed
whereby school could be held in
the various buildings used for
polling places, without interfer-
ing with the voters. Two rooms
will be closed for the day at the
grammar school, two at school
No. and one ut school No. 2.
In the other buildings the
polling places will be located In
the basement rooms and In the
Railways. At the high school
the booths have been arranged
in the front hall, and scholars
will use the rear hall for passing
to and from classes instead Of
the front hall as usual.
Mr.. Shull has issued an invita-
tion to all voters to visit In the
school building, after they have
cast their ballots. Although q
visiting week has been set aside
each year for the parents to see
how the schools are run, only q
few take advantage OF that op-
portunity, and as so many OF the
parents will be voting tomorrow
1t is an opportune time for them
to visit the rooms their children
are attending and I'm this way
obtaining an idea of what is be-
ing accomplished.

CANNON SEES
H|LKER HIS FOE
Democrats Have Crowd al
0uting-Fine Addresses
Given by Candidates

That r. william Hilker, will be
the Republican candidate for coun-
| ty clerk, was predicted by Bernard
M. Cannon, the Democratic candi-
| date in his address at the Demo-
| cratic outing in Linwood Grove. Sat-
| urday afternoon when Mr.. Cannon
| In the course of his maiden speech
of the campaign said: My oppon-
ent F. William Hillter." Although
the primaries are not held until to-
morrow, at which time Mr.. Hilker
has two opponents for the nomina-
tion on the Republican ticket, 1t is
believed that Mr.. Cannon who Is
known to be a keen political observ-
er feels confident that Mr.. Hilker
will receive the nomination.
1t is estimated that 1000 people
attended the outing. Prior to the
speech making the women held a
conference which was addressed by
Mayor Frederick Donnelly of Tren-
ton candidate for United States sem
| ator. and women organizers. The
meeting consisted for the most part
in seeking ways to get out a big
vote.
Although there Is a contest on In
the Democratic primary for the nom-
/ ination of freeholder. this seems to
be of a friendly nature and so the
usual political talk found at affairs
of this kind was lacking. There was
feeling of confidence expressed on
all sides of the ticket. The candi-
dates themselves refused to dwell
much on the possible issues of the
| contest, declaring there is time
enough for this after the state con-
vention has been held and a plat
| form adopted.
What political talk that did take
| place among the various groups was
| for the most part speculations as to
| how the Republican primaries will
/ go.
One impressive feature of the day
was the fact that County Clerk Gan
non has seemed to have lost none
of his popularity with the Democrats
| Whenever his name was mentioned
and when he spoke the crowd cheer
ed and applauded. The impression
gained at the outing was that the
Democratic party as whole in Mid
dlesex county Is united and intends
to back up the ticket, although ru-
mors of ideals" have been spread In
New Brunswick.
| DIR. Ramsay, candidate for state
senator. opened his campaign with
| an address that was declared to be
the feature of the day. DIR. Ramsay
sketched the bills he was responsible

senate and then took up the two
