cal anguish DR.. Pangborn OF the Journal
in column aud quarter OF space on
April 8, begged Republicans to please
bear with the paper long enough to read
how they had been practically dlsfran-
chised by the manner in which the polling

by me and in each case they were CHOSEN
because of their centra! loca ton with a
view to tee convenience to the voters, Dc
