Judge of the Criminal Court, asking the
Court to compel the committee to place on
the Republican city tickets the petitioners
name instead of that of j. G. Lodge, who

candidates and substituted that of Mr..
Lodge. Oastine claims that this nomina-

cision cannot be reached in the case before
the end of the week, and if defendants care
to delay its consideration it will not come
to trial until after the election.
