r ONE of the Democratic leaders in the
y House are stiIl filled with wrat tn be-
cause their advice and admonition was
not folio wed by the minority in the con
tested election case of Aldrich against
Robbins from the Fourth Alaba ma district.
Those leaders dreaded this case more
than the thirty other similar cases combined,
for the reason that there was an admitted
fraudulent registration and vote of more
than 3 900 in one county. The frauds were
so palpa ble and outrageous that AZ was ap-
parent that any discussion or the matter on
the floor of the House would afford the
Republicans an opportunity 10 make IN
endless amount of campaign material by
holding these returns up as d common,
every day example of the election methods
used throughout the South.
For this reason the leaders urged the
Democrats on the Election Committee hav-
ing charge of the contest to dra W no party
lines, but vote with the ma ajority to unsea
the sitting member, let the report sub
mitted he unanimous, and thus avoid any
debate in the House. Thus the real facts
would not be scattered broadcast over the
country; neither would they he diSSeCted
andpOinted to by Skillful Republican orators.
But this advice was disregarded, three
sets Of reports We're made, and the whole
matter attained 4 degree of publicity which
has filled the party leaders with uumeaS-
uFed sorrow.

was Miss Elizabeth Nassar. Every muir

was craned forward. one girl held o
watch with split second hands an an
other a pistol. The girls obeyed the
starters call to get ready 20 touch the

was found that she had lowered the

her enthusiastic classmates carried her
around the track.
