There has been quite little criticism
of the action OF the executive committee
in making the appointments Of the
judges of the primaries, but from all the
informa ton which The Sentinel can OBJ
tain the action Of the executive commit
tee last night does not in any way con-

Such action is frequently taken in
cities where there is a well established

to do away with the rush and excitement
around the polls at the time Of their

The appointment Of the judges can
harm no one without there is fraud in
