Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1893-11-22
ANOTHER COLE DEAL.
Attempts TO Deliver More
Goods 10 Smith.
HE 0VERREACHES HIMSELF.
Name Of Democrat Substituted For,
That Of a Republican.

The Cole Republicans and the Smith
boilers have reached their last ditch In
Second Ward politics. Charles A. Leckie,
q substitute letter carrier, having been
Ineligible to the office of Warden, as first
pointed out in the TRIBUNE, declined to
be candidate at the coming election.
Then Wheaton Coie, who IS bent on sell
ling out the party OF which he is a mem
Der, as was evidenced by the nominations
for Supervisors, sends letter TO the City
Clerk, substituting Stephen w. Fallon
for Leckie on the ticket.
The following is a copy OF the letter.
PAwTUcKET, H. l., Nov. n, 1893.
To Alden w. Sibley, City Clerk:
DEAR SIR-Mr. Charles A. Leckie
having declined to be a candidate for
Warden at che election of November %,
Stephen w. Fallon OF 504 York avenue ia
hereby substituted to I'LL the vacancy
caused by declination OF said Leckie.
WHEATON COLE,
Chairman OF the Second Ward Commit
tee.
CHARLES A. LECKIE, Treas.
1t will be observed by reading the
above that 1t is not regularly drawn, as it
does not say what party nomination
Leckic has decline, or WHIST party nomina.
tion Fallon is designated TO fill. Neither
does the signature OF Wheaton Cole or
Charles a. Lcckie state whst partv or
political committee they are Chairman OF
Treasurer Of. And again, the Treasurer Is
not the proper person to couT ,ersign
nominations OF ward committee. II 1t
Is matter OF record IT should IN order TO
ba ha a. h,
or some one acting as Secretary pro TEN.
Another thing about the ballot and
| which will doub. less defeat the object OF
the political traders ia tSo Second Ward
Is that the name OF stephen W. Fallon Is
printed as "Republican" aud a "Citi-
zens-Democrst" on the ballot In separate
places. He will now have Co run against
himself and instead OF attaining the OBJ
tect sought, the traders have insured his
overthrow, for they have disgusted decent
Republicans without any gain for their
candidate In the way of votes.
City Soricitcr Barnefold was seen and
he looked over the copy OF "W heaton
Coles" nomination OF Fallon and agreed
that 1t was extremely doubtful II IL was
legal nomination az no party or political
designation was appended thereto. He
also agreed that II was likely that Mr..
Fallon's votes as Republican candidate
could not be added to the votes OF Mr..
| Fallon, Citizens Democrat.
| Mayor Brown was met, In company
with some OF the Repub blican leaders, at
his offce and he was most positive that
they were two separate and district
nominations as printed upon the ballot,
| Zone of the sample ballots having been
shown to him, and it certainly appeared
to him, In counting, that they must he
treated as separate places as long as there
was another nomination for the same Of
fee.
| Had Fallon's name been printed simply
once with the designation "Republican"
ana Citizens Democrat" following, then
he would be entitled to all the ballots
cast for him, but as it Is now, he must re-
ceive enough In one place to overcome
all he receives In another and also all cast
for William II. Hayes, the regular Demo-
cratic nominee In order to secure his
election.
The plotters have his time overreached
themselves. The ballots are printed and
1t is too late for further changes.
