The Saint Paul globe., 1900-03-19

nation could not well be any more vague
or uncertain.
The primary in the Twelfth precinct
is announced to be held at the Colon
made
Complaints Of this same condition of
uncertainty come to the Globe from
other wards as well as the Fourth. For
instance:
In the Fifth precinct of the Third ward
the primary is announced to be held on
Tenth street, between Pine and Olive
streets. A man, 1t is declared. would
require to take a day off to locate the
primary on this description.
ANY OLD PLACE.
So, also, in the Eighth precinct Of the
same ward the announcement is Can
ada, between Tenth and Grove" which
includes quite stretch Of territory fully
occupied.
The Portland is the place chosen for
the Seventh precinct primary IN this
same ward. The Portland is a residence
MOTEL extending along Broadway street
the entire block
While complaint comes from every por-
ton OF the city on the score OF what >
declared TO be deliberate unceys
, IN naming the places chosen, u 4 y Auit
| is also found with the practicC 81 calling
the primaries in certain precincts In pri-
/ Vatec residences and other places known
to be owned or controlled by' members
OF the family of Chairman Bell. or by
ms friends, while in every instance the
legal polling place or. the usual primary
location has been available
BELLS OWN PRECINCT.
A number of objections from different
democrats In the First precinct of the
Ninth ward were made to the Globe
In that precinct the polling place Is on
of c.
there Is booth there. The primaries
nave always been held there. This year
they are announced by Mr. Bells COM
| mittee to be held at Summit near
hice Summit, near Rice, is thickly pop
ulated, and the only place which sug-
gests itself as the probable location is
| SAID TO be barn supposed to belong to
the Fell family. Certainly Chairman
Bells residence is in that immediate vi
cinity.
Another funny feature about the charge
made in this case is that the notice of
the hol9ing OF the primary is posted un.
not at Summit, near Rice" but on the
teiegraph pole In front of the polling
booth at 1ilton and ST. Peter, where the
primary has always been held, and where
/ Mr.. Bells critics say, the primary would
be held this year if there was not a
trick involved.
SPUkN POLLING BOOTHS.
In the Second precinct of the same
ward Democrats call attention TO the
fact that GS7 Cedar, the place chosen, Il
| the private residence of K. L. Cosgroye
a Bell adherent; while the polling booth
Is at Central and Cedar, not. 100 feet
away.
The primary in the Thirteenth precinct
of the same ward, famous Democratic
| battle ground, is called at 80 Valley
| street, the private residence Of Pat
Flaherty, which has never been thought
of before as the possible location of a
| primary election.
SEVENTH WARD AS WELL.
So, even, from the Seventh ward comes
| similar objection to the effect that tho
| primary in the Seventh precinct there
is announced to be held at Laurel, near
| Dale. James Fl. Bell, the brother OF
! Chairman Bell, resides on Laurel, near
| Dale, and 1t has been stated to the
| G be that it is his residence which IS
| intended to be used for the primary in
| this particular instance.
| The essence of the numerous objections
| which have reached the G | o on that
| list OF primaries is that ii is made up to
| deceive and misiead active voting Dem
| ocrats who could be relied on to attend
their party primaries, and that it carries
| out all that has thus far been said charg-
| ing collusion on the part of the Bell COM
| mittee with the Republican politicians of
| the city.
