HI s,ntn If election upnn the sworn certificate

u 1he committee has not counted the DIAL
y lots to verify them.
Il awe know That the time allowed pS the

but in fairness and justice to Tie canot-
dates and the general public, In my JUG
,ncnt. the committee should reSahNass W. ~
,.,tira returns do not think any canul-

has been so clearly proven.

mares. which has been 50 greatly shaken
nv recent developments. II some OPP

win be thing OF the past.

K duct another primary. which is as great
in Importance as the one we have lust
gone through Unless some decisive ac-i
tjnn is taken TO lift tio cloud from our
last primary. cannot see how he can
expect the citizens to come to his aid
With the Committee.
This statement was given out before
Judge Witt had acted. but it can be
clearly scen that it has rela ton more
particularly to the City Committees con-
ncction with the matter than to the legal
end of it.
II there shall be a new primary, 1t IS
believed that no candidate. either sue
ccssful or defeated, will object. a sood
MANY of them have already Salu tncS VIII
R NOT, ana II they did, the stand would
be 50 unpopular. that 1t would mean dis
astcr at the polls.
The entire matter OF ordering a new
primary rests with the City Democratic
Committee, and If wholesale fraud shall
he discovered as n result of the inVes-
tigation to be resumed on Monday. there
is little doubt that tho committee VIII
walk up and meet the issue In q way
HAT will satisfy the people.
@ II new primary shall be ordered, 1t
is considered logical It will be held on.
