Ten Jews of Boston and surrounding communities are listed in the primaries which will be held here September 17. Five aspire to seats in the House of Representatives in the fourteenth ward alone, which comprises one of the largest Jewish districts in the state. Of these five only two can be nominated. In the eighth district two Jews are opposing each other in an attempt to gain a seat in the State Senate, while in the Chelsea district two are running for the vacancy in the House. A Jewess, Mrs. Ada Feinberg, is the unopposed Republican candidate from the Chelsea district for the Governor’s Council.
