MARTIN ANSWERS
ATTACK MADE BY
ASSEMBLYMAN
Commissioner DenOunCes the
Charges Against County
Election Board.
NO MEMBER WOULD
TRY TO NULLIFY VOTE
Representative in Legislature
Said an Attempt at Fraud
Would Be Made.

Commissioned Samuel p. Martin,
chairman of the County Board of Elec-
tons, TODAY went to the defense of the
members IF the district boards Of cleo
ton against the attack made on them
last night by Assemblyman William +.
Martin in his instructions TO the district
workers OF the Republican League.
Commissioner Martin took umbrase
at the charge that the district boards
would stoop to deliberately nullify the
votes of the electors.
"Wiledl Assemblyman Martin intt-
mated that members of the district
election boards" said the commissioner,
would use blue ink to mark ballots
and cause their rejection, he made one
of the boldest mjsstateihents ever pro-
nounced against a body of decent men.
/ do not believe there is II man who
would stoop to do any action of this
character. Some of the men have
served for years on the district boards
INC Others are new men. but [ do not
think that there is one who would do
an act to cause the rejection of a ballot.
Election Boards Honest.
II have had an experience of twelve
N6hIS vi lie SOuiltS OodA0 vi GItt
lions, and it is In charge of more tina
500 men each year. During my entire
experience the board in no year has had
vel one instance OF crooked work by
a district board member called to its
attention. My opinion is that the mem
bers of the district boards are as honest
as Assemblyman Martin himself wants
US to believe he is.
There have been dozens of r%ecounts
before the county board, but never
have any allegations of crooked work
been made against the members of the
district boards.
The members Of the county board
are responsible for the appointment Of
the district boards, and reflections on
them are reflections on h county
board. The statements of Mr.. Martin
are made without the presentation of
any proof. The members of the dis
boards are examined as carefully
every year as the law allows, and il
there is any question concerning the
character of any candidate for appoint
inent another man is selected. I think
this statement is due TO the members
of the district boards
What Mr.. Martin said.
Bitterly arraigning the methods of
the Regular Republicans in past cleo
tons. and asserting that fraudulent
means would be used by the Regulars
to win the coming primary elections,
Assem- uiyrnan William P. Martin stirred
the workers OF the New Idea Republi-
can League at a meeting held in their
rooms in Bank street last night. He
positively that the faction he
could only be defeated by
the use of money and urged the Colby
les to do everything in their power to
prevent this violation of the election
There would be an attempt at fraud,
said, when the polls opened, and
another just prior to their closing. He

to them many ways in which
the frauds might be attempted. The

Term Shortened

Owing to conflicting circum-
stances, the school board decided at
their last meeting on nine and a
half months of school instead of ten
months as voted by the annual
meeting. The voting of the school
term was found to be an unneces-
sary procedure as the board under
the Independent system has the
power to fix the term.
Considerable discussion has been
had regarding the length of the
term, some contending that ten
months was altogether too much,
while others figured otherwise.
The main contention of the ten
month advocates was the fact that
so many of the pupils leave school
after the eighth grade and by hav-
ing ten months of school, the pupil
would secure year more of school
