name of George j. Llewylen, of Pitts

the right to vote. which right was con-
trad.cted by at least 95 per cent. OF the

Mr. Llewylen was no member and not

misunderstood. Even the Johnstown
people express surprise at the inaccu-
racy of the tellers. Up to Tuesday after
noon it was generally understood by
the leaders that Isadore Goodman, of
Scranton, was to be a candidate for
vice-president. At caucus held by

to ask Mr.. Goodman to retire, owing

Of the whipping post in the national

that there is now no adequate method
