have been made to operate gang Of
repeaters Sheriff Toffey has expressed
himself forcibly on this subject, and wfl,
it is said, leave no stone unturned TO
secure the prosecution of any man who
tampers with the ballots. The turning
down the gang gave him for delegate
to the National Convention Is thorn in
his side. and he Is looking for revenge.
Alderman George Mccarthy is also in
the ring yet He does not propose allow
ing the Woolley tools to prevent an in
yestigation of the City Clerks office.
Nor does he propose allowing President
Simpson of the Board of Aldermen to

City Marshal John Graham Graham
says he is not such a fool that he does
not know who sent him for tickets. He
admits that he is trying to shield the
Republican officials. Alderman Mccarthy
today made an affidavit before Justice
of the Peace Macs that the statements
he has made in connection with the free
theatre ticket scandal are true to the
best of his knowledge and belief
His affidavit will be re-enforced with
one by Manager Frank Henderson of the
Academy of Music and one which will
startle voters from City Marshal Gra-
ham.
