the Republican ticket this fall. This in
formation had been in possession of the
bureau for week or more. but, inasmuch
as il was a rather serious matter. no men

reau. in the presence of witness, that he
would vote the Republican ticket this fall,

Republican speeches.

would either have to resign or give the
Democrats some satisfaction.
