county to vote for the ticket from top. to

machine, pull the lever and walk out.
COwell Supports the Ticket.
Robert Cowell like Mr.. Wattles, was
greeted enthusiastically. Said he, after
detailing his early associations with the
party;
came tonight to place myself on record
as being in thorough accord with the
result OF the primary election and Of being
an out and out supporter OF the ticket
which was elected at that time. When
was about to resign as chairman of the
republican county committee there were
some whispers that did so because some
candidates of the opposite faction were
stated that was in accord with the pri.
mary returns and would support the ticket
from top to bottom. If 1t could be shown
to me beyond peradventure that there was
any man on this ticket who would be a
: discredit to the office and who is unquali-
fled to fill the place because OF dishonesty
or incompetency. l would feel that my
obligations were released But as look
over the list I can say that in my
} knowledge OF local politics have never
, seen more satisfactory or better ticket
, take II all in all.
He then went down the ticket, from the
the first candidate to the last, told of the
qualifications and record of each, an
nounced that each man had his persona
support and vote and urged his hearers L
follow his example.
Mr.. Leslie and the other speakers spok,
OF the necessity OF registering and saiC
that they did not believe the registration
, on primary day would be found valid by
the courts In this case registration mus
be made over again in order to qualif!
for participation at the November election
and in the municipal primaries next sprinl
