ELECTION POLLING PLACES.
ESTABLISHED, BY THE TRUS-
TEES LAST NIGHT.
Kent Complained That Do1an and
Paine Had Given Him the
Double Cross.


The City Board of Trustees met as a
Board Of Election Commissioners last
| night, for the purpose of establishing
polling places and naming election offi-
GERS for the city election to be held
November 7th.
Everything ran along smoothly
enough until the list of officers for the
Eighth Ward was handed in by Trus-
| tee Dolan.
In view of the fact that Trustee Bent
ley was absent from the city, President
| Mckay, at the regular meeting Mon
day night, appointed Dolan, Paine and
Kent committee to select officers for
the ward, subject to the approval of the
| board
Kent registered a vigorous protest
against the list of officers presented
| by Dolan. He said that he, as we'll
as polan and Paine, had been appoint
! ed on the committee to act for Mr..
Bentley, but that though he had pre-
! sented eight names for consideration
the nun Der that he, as one of the COM
mittee of three, would be entitled to
nominated one OF them appeared
on the list presented. He said that
not a man suggested by him had been
put on, and that he had not been con-
| suited.
Dolan said the reason Keats nomi-
nees We're not considered was because
| ne wanted to put on eight instead of
two. Meagher, one of the men he had
selected, had been given SO for the
use Of building for a polling place.
and that was enough. He said they
! had offered to scratch two names they
! had decided on, and place on two OF
those suggested by Kent, but that he
wanted all those named by him given a
place, and did not get any.
| Kent said twenty-four election Off
GERS were to be appointed, and that his
| proportion ought to have been eight.
Dolan said he had succeeded in get
ting only one man on the election board
He wound up by saying that commit
| tee OF three had been appointed, and
there was only one thing Kent could
| do to win-outvote the other two.
We're in the hole and can't help it,
Kent" said Mckay.
Yes we can help it," returned Kent;
I'VE can help it if you'll stand up and
help vote them down. That list hasn't
been adopted yet, and if you'll stand
up and do what's right, we won't be in
any hole. Come on Mac, you're inde-
pendent. Stand up and do the right
thing and We'll beat them out"
''Oh, WE'LL" interjected Mckay, but
what he intended to say did not appear
| Kent followed up his appeal by say
bo+ hofA
the city he had conferred with him
| and he had requested that the name of
I Mr. Ward be put on the board.
| Thereupon Deyine moved that the
name of Ward be substituted for that
of Latson, and Dolan, after inquiring
whether any further changes were an
ticipated, seconded the notion which
was carried-Ayes, Kent, Devine,
Brown, Dolan and Mckay; noes, Doug
las, Paine and Tebbets.
Kent said the name of Henry Dehn
ought to be placed on the list, and
/ so moved, but Dolan said he under
/ stood there was to be no further
| change when he voted to Substitute
| Ward for Latson.
Devine said if Dolan proposed to
vote against then it would be time
wasted to press the matter.
On motion the list for the Eighth
Ward was adopted as it stood, Kent
voting no.
