Clerk on the Australian ballot 10 be voted at

on our county ticket.
Two years ago, when the P0puliSts filed their
very crude certificates Of nomination, no opp0-
sillon or contention was made thereto. as II
they were not considered very formidable.
But the evidence given by your action in this
matter and at this time Is indeed falteTlng, in
that you thereby deem us in position TO cast
sufficiently large vote for our NOn-Partisan
county ticke.
Confident that our certificates Of nomination
heretofore duly filed are in every respect In ac-
cOTdance with all the requirements OF the law
pertaining TO the election provisions, we 40 not
seek 10 AVOID. Dor are we afraid OF the outcome
OF a fair and impartial hearing and decision on
the law and the facts. But we submit that in

are candidates before the people of Alameda
County for e-electi0n, a third Is a candidate for
Stat office, and only one-his Honor W. +.

gest thar because of the said circumstances
surrounding this matter Superior Court
Judge from some other county be invited and
requested TO sit and hear ana pass upon the
merits, whatever they may be, of your conten-
tl0n.
