calIy denied statement in THE CALL that
there had been any intention on behalf of
himself and Commissioners burst and Til
ton to deny the Nom Partisan party party
designation alongside the names OF their
candidates.
He called on Mayor Sanderson to say If,
as stated, he had given such information to
any reporter, and the Mayor emphatcally
denied ii.
Mr.. Smiley said that his position was that
on the main proposition of what names

for any office TO a place on the ticket. and
that he could choose his own party designa-
tion or stale himself TO be an independent.
He was entitled to place il he desired to
run and there could be no limitation as to

question Of the representation on the cleo
ton boards came up, and some difficulty
arose.
Commissioner O'Brien moved that I'm
the selection of election officers objection
shall be raised against aNon-Partisan, If he
be Republican or Democrat nationally.

Then came the question of spportionment
OF the spells between the two parties. Sulll-
van wanted the inspectors and judges alter
mated so that in one precinct the Republl-
cans should have two inspectors and one
judge and in the next one inspector and two
judges. the Democrats alternating In the
same way.
1t was pointed out that this had been
asked for by the Republicans at the last
election and denied.
"Chickens are coming home to roost,
Judge" said one of the Commissioners,
''and you cannot get out of 1t"
Finally ii was resolved that two Republl-
can and one Democratic inspector should
be appointed for each precinct and one Re
publican and two Democratic judges for
each precinct.
OF the four general clerks one-half were
to be Republicans and the other half Demo-
Gratis, and the same course was to be pur-
sued with the two ballot clerks.
Just before the close of the session Attor-
ney Solomon asked that the application for
