CRY OF TRICK BALLOTS ?
Saint Mary's Republicans Make
Charge And Democrats Deny 1t.

Democratic leaders of St. Mary s
county, who came TO the city yester-
day, assert that they have nipped
in the bud an attempt upon the part
of the fusion candidates there to
make it appear that the Supervisors
of Elections are preparing to spring
more trick" ballots this fall.
1t developed, however, that while
the form of the ballot will be in &C.
cordance with the law there will ap-
pear upon it the names of candidates
so like those of the Fusion men that
the illiterate voter may have great
trouble telling them apart. Upon
good authority it is said that petit
tions have already been filed nomi-
mating a candidate for the State
Senate, and also for the House of
Delegates from the Peoples party. I"
The Peoples party" candidates.
said to have been named and who
are are assured of position on the
ballot, are:
For Senate-Thomas b. Greenwich.
For House of Delegates-Thomas NJ.

The similarity betwaen these
names and those of the Independent
Democratic candidate for the Senate.

Republican convention, and the re-
gular Republican candidates for the
House of Delegates can be seen at a
glance. This is the Republican

names of the candidates appears
upon the ballot.

The story of the alleged trick bal
lots was first brought to the CITY bv

this was, he said, to confuse the

the names of the Democratic candi-
dates are printed in heavy, black
type, while those of the Opposition
are in the other and lighter type.
Attorney General Bryan asked

in writing, and, after receiving il.

this mornings mail. / forward IL
TO you without any opinion as 10 the
correctness or incorrectness Of the
statements made il. tits. / think,
clear that it was the intention Of the
statute that the squares in front OF
the names of all candidates and in
front Of all questions 70 be voted
upon by the people In which the
voter is TO make his cross mark shall
be uniform in size and in appearance
and that none Of the squares shall
have either q heavier or q lighter
boundary mark than the others.
Without expressing or, indeed, hav-
ing any opinion in regard 70 the
form or appearance Of the ballot in
contemplation, it occurs 20 me that
il might be reasonable precaution
against any possible abuse for you
70 request the Board OF Supervisors
for Sc. Mary's county 10 submit the
proof Of the ballot prepared by them
70 you for approval before it is finally
printed. F"
MIR. Bryan Satisfied.
Late in the afternoon, after this
letter had been sent, DIR. Walter B.
Dent, one Of the Democratic Super
visors Of Saint Mary,s, who had
heard of the charges of DR.. Green
well, called upon Mr.. Bryan and de-
MED them absolutely. After hear
ing DIR. Dents statement, Mr.. Bryan
wrote as follows 70 the Governor:
DIR. Dent told me that he had
heard of the charges in relation to
the form Of the ballot IN st. Mary's
county. He assured me that those
charges were without foundation.
aud be said that he would be very
glad TO submit the proof of the ballot
TO you, 70 me or to both OF US. It is
fair to DIR. Dent that should state
he made this offer before / had read
him my letter of this morning TO you.
in which / had suggested that il
would be a reasonable precaution
for you TO ask the board ofsupervis-
ors to let you see the proof of the
ballot.
"Dr. Dent came to my Office for
the purpose Of submitting the ballot
TO me. He will not be able toobtain
the proof from the printer until to-
morrow. Tomorrow, unfortunately,
have TO be in the Court of Appeals
on State business.
DIR. Dent will call on you in the
morning with the proof of the ballot.
Il was very glad to see DR.. Dent,
because my conversation with him
made me feel that there is no reason
able ground for believing that there
will not be an honest and genuine
attempt on the part OF the Board OF
Supervisors in st. Mary's county to
conduct a fair and impartial cleo
ton. ''-!Sun.
