FEAR NO UPSET
OF ELECTION
Secretary ChaytOr Of Demo-
cratic Committee Says
Nothing in It.
REPUBLICANS MAY
TAKE LEGAL ACTION

The article printed yesterday in THE
EVENING JOURNAL regarding the re-
cent city election and pointing out some
Inconsistencies in the records OF the Leg
islature regarding The wilmington charter
amendments has cNused whole lot Of
speculation among roliuciana Of both
parties.
That there is an inconsistency and no
record in the senatn or House Journal Of
the Legislature Of 1907 of the Senate
charter amendment substitute bill having
been passed. the bill was regularly en-
rolled and signed by then Governor Lea,
and is now on the statute books
The point raised Is whether there was
legal authority for tho election on June
8, inasmuch as there Is no record in the
printed journals Of the senate and House
as to the substitute bill itself having been
passed. it providing for city elections
every two years instead Of every four
years as in the original bill which was
passed.
That some of the Republican lawyers
think this is a serious point was learned
to-day. and it was intimated that the mat
ter may be taken into the courts. Nothing
definite in the way Of legal action by the
Republicans has been taken or planned
it was said to-day by some Of the party
leaders. although it is known that the
matter Is under consideration.
on the other hand the Democrats are
laughing at the points raised. and say the
failure Of the Senate and House journals
to record the passage Of the substitute
amendment bill under that specific tiu'
will have no effect upon the election. II
the present law isn't valid they contend
that the election would have been hels
under the old law providing for elections
every two years.
Chairman J. J. English. Of the Demo
cratic City Committee was out of the cit,
to-day. and his views as 10 the question
could not be learned.
Armon d. Chayter. Jr., secretary Of thu
Democratic City Committee and deput!
city soiieitor-to-be, laughed al the poin
raised.
-'if IS huga BOO. and there is nothin
| IN it," he said "The Democratic commit
tee doesn't take IL seriously. Whether IN
Senate and House journals show # o
not we know absolutely that the substl
\ tute bill providing for elections every tw
years was passed. Such mistakes frequent
ly happen in the journals Of the Legis'a
ure"
Mr. chsytor said no legal action woul'
be taken bv the Democrats. and the com
mittee feared none.
