HE IS QUALIFIED.
Final Statement as to Campaign Ca.
nard Published by the Times.

The Times having willingly and inten-
tionally asserted falsely that Frank A.
Cattern is not qualified by residence to
represent the Seventy-first district in
the assembly, the following proofs are
submitted:
To Whom 1t May Concern:
We, the undersigned, the law commit
tee Of the Democratic and Peoples par
ties, have carefully examined the law
and the facts as to the residence af
Frank A. Cattern in the Seventy first
assembly district of this state, with ref
erence to his eligibility to the Office of
assemblyman, and are unanimously of
the opinion that he is eligible to the
F! same and that there are absolutely no
grounds for questioning his qualifica-
tions.

regard to this matter:
'An attempt having been made by po-

Cattern, union nominee or the Peoples
and Democratic parties for the assem-
bly, in the Seventy-first district, Of votes
by the false statement that he was not
eligible by reason of not having lived one
year in the district, I desire to say that

yond question qualified. Such questions
| are for the legislature to decide If any
contest is made, but the case Is so clear
| in his favor that predict no contest will
ever be made. Any person who fails tc
vote for Mr.. Cattern because Of this ca
nard will simply play into the hands OF
