Chairman Milten. OF the Republican city
central committee, in reply TO a question

ciaL Men who are running on the ticket

Interpretation OF the Law.
Or. Mittsr says IN MS letter of instruc-
tons:
1.-THE lists of candidates for delegates
named In some OF the precincts contain the
names OF men who are also named a.
Judges or clerks. This. believe, Is con-
irary TO law. A man who Is a candidate
cannot be an officer OF the election board.
] think IL would jeoparilze the vote Of any
precinct IL called in question in the con-
yention. AS the tickets are already print
ed. men who are named as candidates and
also as judges or clerks should refuse to
serve in such capacity. a. their places on
