440 delegates comprising the Demo

checking today, and find some serious
discrepancies between the petition and
the list of delegates sent TO the con-

Out of 81 precincts, including all the
city precincts and some of the outside
ones, we find that there were 2S5 dele
gates elected. OF these. only 1O4 have
signed, leaving 1S1 ont of 2S5 who have
not signed the petition.
AS the precincts above mentioned
were the most accessible, it is fair to
believe that this is a good proportion
upon which to base an estimate. At
the same ratio we are led to believe
that 146 of the 305, or a little less than

copied from tombStones, as they stand
