to name, in essential part, the committee
upon which devolved the duty of passing

chairman Of this committee was Oscar

what they werestalking about, and their as

said that they have left few in doubt of

There have been many rumors in the last
two or three weeks that the Citizens Union,
while it is taking no open part in this years
election, is nevertheless, through it's local
organizations supporting the Democratic
ticket.
One Of the reasons, 1t is said, why the
Union is taking no active interest in the
camraign this year is that it cannot bring
itself to support openly the Democratic
ticket nor can 1t swallow Odellism.
That the Citizens Union district leaders
are working for the Democratic ticket was
made clear In speech made at the Tuxedo
Hall or Thursday night by Alfred E. Seligs-
berg, who was once elected to the Assembly
on the Citizens Union ticket. He declared
