effect on the vote In other parts of tin.

There Is only ono hotel In Glassboro
and there has been no opposition In the
courts to Its lliiuor falling since a li
cense was granted to John llarret five
years ago. after the license held by Wll.
Ham Davis had teen refused and the
bar closed for u year. An active can

while the advocates of a hotel with a

Many ears ago Gloucter County
was "dry." "nd the unti-lliUor forces
believe that they liavo a ood chance of
mailing it "dry" again. They huve been
busy ever since tho local option law
was passed, It is their aim to have a
Npeclal election In every district Where
there Is a saloon, and where there are
no saloons to let the voters decide the
question at the general election.
.Vc appropriations were made for the
special election by the governing bodies
of the municipalities and towns when
tho appropriations wero made In Jan
uary, because the bill had not been
pasL-cd ut that time. 1t ii. figured that
the Hpi.-itil t lection In each dlbtrlct will
tost from MOD to $1000. For this, reason
many towns arc awaiting the general
election to have a vote on tho ques
tion. Harrison township will have o special
election Tuesday, April IC. Clayton,
Swcdesboro and Logan township will
vote Tuesday. April 30. I'nuliboro and
Woodbury will liavo their elections May
7. The "wets" bellcvo that they will
carry both Woodbury and I'aulsboro.
1'ach of the-se towns has two hotels, anil
It Is believed that tho vote In both
places will bo closer than In any other
towns In South Jersey.
It ia ot believed that elthtr the
Republicans or Democrats will make an
lasuo on the elections In any of tlu
towns, especially Woodbury. The lead
ers of both parties will keep their hands
off, it Is held, and If they do the "wets"
believe they will carry Woodbury, thi
county seat. Should Paulsboto and !x
gan township vot "dry," then the cntlru
river front, from Gloucester down to
Pcnusville, will be dry.
