To the Editor:
In the salt Lake Herald Of this
morning we notice under the heading.
''Wn File a Protest" that in the OBJ
lection to be filed to the non-partisan
nominations our names appear in
print in the following paragraph:
First-That the acknowledgment Is
untrue I'm this that on the pretended
certificate the names of Duncan NJ.
Fadyn and a. A. Rnmseyer were
signed by the same person,
contrary to law. That the said
Duncan NJ Fadyn and a. a. Ramseyer
were not personally before the notary
public who alleges that they signed
said signatures in his presence.
We desire to state that we signed
our own names, each in our own
handwriting, and We're both sworn by
the same notary public Mt the same
place and at the same time.
Yours for truth,
