BoSTON'S QUEER FIX.
TWO Candidates of Same Name for
MayoraIty Causes Confusion.

Boston, May 1.-TWO mayoralty can
didates bearing the same name, put
representing radically different plat
forms, promise to complicatc the pollt-
lea! situation in this city when the mu-
nicipal election is held next December.
one Of the candidates is the present
mayor John F. Fitzgerald, who is eX-
pectcd to be once more the candidate OF
tn" city Democracy. The other candl-
date is also John F. Fitzgerald. but in
stead of representing any party ne IS
the candidate of labor organization
to which he belongs, Roofers' Protective
Union, No. 10. If Fitzgerald, the roof
err had any other name his candidacy
would not disturb the mayor or the
municipal Democrats as 1t is not
thought that his platform would com
nland any more votes than would go TO
a Socialist labor candidate or any other
minor political party. but 1t is feared
that the similarity of names may re
suit in votes intended for the re-elec-
ton Of Mayor Fitzgerald being cast for
his labor union rival and namesake.
Last fall when John b. Moran was
the grbernatorial candidate OF three
parties, Prohibitionist. Democratic ana
Independence League. IL was ruled that
q cross might be marked on the paiiot
against his name in three places. or IN
only one place and the ballot would hol
be invalidated in either instance
If, however, a voter intends 10 cast
his ballot for Fitzgerald the mayor
marks a cross on his ballot opposite me
name OF Fitzgerald the roorer. 1t VIII
mean that one vote is lost to the may
or Again. if the voter, acting on the
mistaken assumption that both men are
one and the same and marks cross OPP
posite each John F. Fitzgerald, the bal
lot will be invalidated.
The candidate of the roofers Strenu-
ously denies that his candidacy is be
ing engineered by practical politicians
in the hope of defeating Mayor F1tZger-
aids reelection through the errors that
must naturally result from the similar
ity Of names. He says that he is not at
tracted by the $4,000 annual salary for
the mayor, but that he is inspired by
IN honest desire to be a candidate of
the plain people and working men.
