". GREENWICH AROUSED,
BRAYTON GANG SCARED
(Continued from page oneD

Mr.. Thornley, said that the petitioners
had all their witnesses summoned and
present in court He asked Mr.. Allen IL
there was not a meeting OF the West
Greenwich town council last Saturday.
Mr.. Allen admitted that meeting was
held and that he was present: but still he
claimed he had not had time TO talk the
matter over with his clients.
Mr. Thornley, said the papers were
served on Saturday: and he felt that the
case could be disposed of now as well as
any other time He spoke strongly
against any adjournment of the hearing.
Chief Justice Douglas. after consulta-
tion with his associates. simply said:
The case will stand over to Wednes-
day next"
The court room was we'll filled with
citizens OF West Greenwich; and all pres
ent were greatly disappointed at the out
come.
The action OF the Brayton- -Rathbun
town council, I'm direct and open opposi-
tion to the plain requirements OF the law,
has aroused the citizens OF that town as
never before; and the large numbers OF
them who came to attend the hearing
this morning, including many OF the most
reputable voters OF the town, which Boss
Brayton and his lieutenant, Judge Rath-
bun, have assumed TO carry In their vest
pockets heretofore. was an eye-opener
for the machine forces that plainly
frightened them.
The engagement OF Samuel Ward King
Allen as counsel for the town council side
OF the matter was generally accepted as
an indicstio that the machine tricksters
knew they hadn't a leg to stand on in
this matter; and Aliens intimation that
the mistake" was rectifled was accept
ed as foreshadowing the intention of the
town council, under advice OF Boss Bray
ton and Judge Rathbun. TO undo its ille-
gal work and appoint supervisors in con-
formity with the law. rather than have
the whole thing aired publicly in court
and thus further expose the purpose of
the Brayton state machine throughout
the state to steal the election.
