WARDEN HAS NOT FILED

Third Ward Officers Fail Carry Out Will of the Voters
Last Caucus.

caucus matters laughed this morning at
the Republican organs announcement
that the law would be strictly follow
ed, and probably there would be no Dem
ocratIc nominee for school committee on
the official ballot election. The part OF
the law about the caucus warden being
required within two days to file the cer-
tificate OF nomination is looked upon as
merely directing. not as invalidating the
nomination.
There have been several cases where
contests lave been before the suprem
court In TINS state, over who was entitled
10 go on the ballot as party candidate.
Before these cases were decided by the
court the time for fling nominations had
passed
The court decided the questions raised,
however. end the names went on the bal
lot thoagn the law had directed nomina-
tions at a time previous 10 the courts
decision.
There IL little likelihood that the court
would deprive a candidate of rights when
he was guilty OF no neglect himself Rep
resentative Hogan in this case had to
depend upon the warden signing the GER
tffcate and neglect was all on the
latters part. Many Democrats OF Ward
2 today declared that the Dunn warden
course In this matter would make lots OF
votes for Gainer at the next caucus.
