sensational developments. Monday after
noon, in regard to the joint convention
and election of the Republican city Off
Gals. when the Democrats had major
ity Of the votes. Talk of bribery was
heard when the result of the balloting
was made known. Several members Of
the city government were accused of be-
ing traitors. but no one would admit that
he was the guilty party.
The Democrats. with one exception.
signed an affidavit that they voted for
the party candidates. The Sunday local
papers contained a statement from Coun-
Gilman Shea. who claimed that Patrick
Ford. a liquor dealer. approached him
and offered him a liquor license if he
would vote for the Republican officials.
Later Shea was summoned to Mayor
Judkins' house. and the mayor. so Shea
says, confirmed the offer of the liquor
dealer Shea refused. He says the case
will be given to the district attorney.
The mayor was thoroughly aroused
when he heard the story and threatened
to prosecute Shea if the statement was
not retracted. Shea maintains that the
story is true and will not withdraw. The
mayor will seek the advice of City Soil
citor Bell. and if possible have Shea
brought into court on a charge of GRIM
inal libel.
