Illegal registration has been discovered in
the Greenville section of the city. During
the past week the Democratic County Com
mittee has had workers out verifying the
registry lists, and glaring frauds have been
unearthed.
The padded registry lists are by no means
confined to the Greenville section. In all of
the Republican stronghclds what seems evil
dence of fraud has been found.
The men engaged i'll verifying the lists
have found on an average four illegally en-
tered names out of every hundred in Repub-
hcan precincts. From the vicinity of the
old car stables in Greenville Irregularities
have been dug up by the wholesale.
Tho Democratic County Committeeman
have already decided to appoint additional
challengers for Election Day. They believe
the Republicans have arranged to work re-
peaters in the same effective way they did
last fall and spring. The usual number of
strange colored men who appear before
every election are on hand, and they appear
to have an acquaintance with several Re
publican henchmen
The Democratic County Committeeman
appeal to all voters, irrespective of party,
who are interested in honest elections to send
any information possible to them which will
assist in the prevention of fraud.
The Bumptious City Clerk has located
polling places in out-of-the-way places. I6
is believed by the Democratic County Com
mitteemen that there is monster scheme on
hand to disfranchise Democratic voters and
work in Republican repeaters and colonizers.
''If we can only shut out the repeaters and
upset the disfranchisement schemes" said a
morning, "we will carry this county by
5000 or 10000"
The Republicans are making a hot fight
and no political trick will be left untried.
They know they cannot elect their Assembly
men. and as result are slaughtering them
right and left for Griggs. There will be no
trading of Democratic votes this year. We
are for McGill and victory. Any man we
catch trying to vote illegally will be ar
rested at once and we also propose arresting
men who attempt to vote on illegally regis
tered names. There will be lively times at
the polls this election day.
