BENSON GIVES WRONG VIEW
Civic Reform Candidate for Mayor
and County Clerk Differ ON
Changing Voting Place.

In connection with the matter of pre-
cinct voting places County Clerk DrexeI
said:
"A, speaker at a political meeting the
other night, in talking of change of loca-
tion of a voting booth, perhaps gave a
wrong impression. We have changed no
voting booth location without a good and
sufficient reason and I think there have
been only four changes in the entire list
These were made either because It was
shown that the location was away off at
one edge OF the precinct or because the
location first suggested could not be Sc
cured for one reason or another"
The speaker who made this boast was
f. A. Benson, perennial candidate for
mayor on the civic reform ticket
County Clerk Drexel has made up his
list OF booths for the carpenter who is to
erect these for the primary election. The
apportionment of booths indicates very
strongly that the number of voters in GER
tain precincts far exceeds the number in
some other districts of the same ward For
instance. the Third precinct of the First
ward win have twelve stalls, or booths, for
voters, while two other precincts in the
same ward will have but six booths, and
one precinct only four.
In the Fifth precinct OF the Fourth ward
| there will be ten voting booths and the
I same number will be required in the Fourth
precinct OF the Twelfth ward. In the
| other precincts OF these two wards the
| number OF booths will range from three
| to six.
The heaviest registration is the Third
ward, but the vote is quite evenly divided
| compared with the wards mentioned The
same is true of the Fifth ward. which
/ comes second in registration.
