There are rumors floating around
that several voters in this town
have been fraudulently qualified
to vote at the town election Tues
day. This matter should be look
ed into at once, and if the rumors
are correct, all who participated
in such frauds should be proeecu-
ted. The District Court will be
in session here Monday and we
trust that Judge Simon will make
it his duty to strongly charge the
Grand jury on these rumors OF
fraud and demand full and CON-
plrte investigation. IL fraud has
been committed those guilty should
be punished, if no fraud has been
committed, such should be pro-
claimed, as these rumors reflect
seriously upon the community.
