OVERRIDE REQUEST
OF COUNCILMAN RASH

That the Democrats IN City Council in
tend TO conduct the contest Of the cleo
tion Of Water Rash. Republican. Of the
Second ward in Their own sweet way was
evident from the action OF Council last
night. The Democratic majority Of Coun-
ell refused Mr.. Rash's petition Tor particu-
lars as to the grounds OF the contest Thus
the Democrats arc left IN a posit on TO
seize upon every pretext TO throw out bal
lots and the entire vote IN the heavy Re
publican Fourth district Of the Second
ward, which is their present pan.
Mr.. Rash asked that Benjamin b. Allen.
the Democratic defeated candidate specify
particularly the names upon which IL is
alleged impersonators voted. the names
OF the men alleged TO he Illegally regis
tered. and the names Of men alleged TO be
registered from houses that do not exist
The Democrats refused TO set forth any
OF these things, however, but voted down
the Republican application with an air OF
what are you going TO do about it,
In a petition presented by Councilman
Benson. of the Seventh ward, Councilman
Rash whose seat is being contested sought
70 have Mr.. Allen file the bill Of particu
lars. He contendod he could obtain no in.
formation of the charges made in Mr.
Aliens petition, and wanted particular.
so that he could prepare . proper defense
Mr.. Benson moved that the request b'
complied with. Before the motion could h'
put. Councilman Kane OF the Fourtl
ward, asked that the privilege Of th'
floor be extended TO Harry =. Josyn
counsel for Mr.. RASH and ]. Harve,
whiteman. counsel for Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Whitcman was first called on but hl
gave way to Mr.. Joslyn.
Mr.. Joslyn's Contention.
Mr.. Joslyn said the petition explaine'
itself, yet he would try TO give Council
more clearer statement of its contents
Taking up the charge Of Mr.. Allen tina
fifty persons names were impersonated il
the Fourth district Of the Second ward n
said that as Mr.. Allen took an affidavit
to his petition, he surely must know IN
names of these persons and he contendel
that Mr.. Rash was entitled 20 know VIII
they are, so an investigation could b
made and defense prepared.
He said the same argument applies I
the charges made by Mr.. Allen to the ei
feet that TWENTY-FIVE persons on th'
books Of registered voters we're illegal
registered, and that ten persons we're res
istered from houses that never did an
do not now exist.
