PUBLICANs IN CHOICE OF
POLLING PLACES.

Secretary George R. Manchester Of the Repuoh-
can County Committee went TO Police Headauar-
terS Yesterday and saw Commissioners Abel ana
Hess the Republican members Manchester made
protest that the Republican party was not get
ting its share Of the polling places for the Novem-
Der elections.
Some time ago the Police Commissioners passed
a resolution that all polling places should be d.
vided equally between the two parties 1t was de-
cided to give the Democrats the even numbers and
the Republicans the odd numbers in each district
Mr. Manchester said that there were about thirty
places where the Election Bureau had scratched
the Republican choice of election polling place
ard had let the precinct commanders select the
polling places themselves.
General Rodenbough, the Chief of the Election
Bureau. and said that the minimum size
OF the polling places must be 800 square feet He
said that it had been found that in the polling
places selected by the Republicans and Democrats
there were thrty-seVen Republican and thrry-fi
Democratic where this size not reached. Gen
erai Rodenboush added that the parties wers in
formed several days ago about il and were told to
suggest other places
Mr.. Manchester said that this was only a subter-
:uEc- He said that he informed only on
Wednesday about the polling places being
that he did not have time TO do so, owing TO the
r3ct mat the Police Board were 10 decide o. the
piaces Yesterday He called the action unfair
The Board met yesterday afternoon but held
OhS d snort meeting and postponed all action as
regards the polling places until to-day
