SHORT STOPS.
What the People are savin,

What the People are Saying.
Old citizens after their experience
on election day express supreme dis.
gust at the way the coils were
conducted; the open violation of
the law by judges put at the voting
places to carry out a program of fraud
aud corruption. Many say they will
cease to vote unless this election is
not contested.
new law, and ii the law 10 good
enough fer penalties, and every offic-
or who violated the provisions of the
law should be held accountable.
We will have city election in Feb,
ruary next and now is the time to
bring the contest, so that the people
will not be held in political bondage
any longer.
The best interests of our city are at
STAKE. the very integrity of our people
is In danger if this illegal election can
be permitted to go by unchallenged.
The trading and trickery on the
outside was disgusting, though, but
when carried into the voting booths,
it becomes criminal.
Mr.. Callsghan's election has been
brought about by fraud and by the
action OF men directly interested In
his success under orders to use their
position to carry the election at all
hazards.
Take out the Mexican vote and the
ring ticket is beaten from top to bot
tom. Take out the alien Mexican
vote and 1t is beaten. This vote was
cast by the officers of the election.
Let there be q we'll directed contest
and We will put stop to this thing,
and restore to the people the right to
elect officers.
After each election there has been
plenty of talk about fraud but no
move ever made to test iE, until the
perpetrators believe it is all talk.
Let this time be All exception.
