CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Candidates who start signing up for New Hampshire’s 100th presidential primary next week can do so at the desk of the man who started it all.
In 1913, Rep. Stephen Bullock of Richmond hitched his buggy to his horse and traveled to Concord, where he proposed a bill creating the primary. His desk was unveiled Thursday at the secretary of state’s office. Candidates sign paperwork and pay $1,000 to get on the ballot.
Thursday’s gathering included Bullock’s great-granddaughter and the grandson of former President Grover Cleveland. George Cleveland is a former longtime town moderator in Tamworth. He showed off the ballot boxes New Hampshire distributed for the 1892 race when his grandfather was elected.
It was the latest in a series of events commemorating the primary’s centennial.
