l. II is fact that at the last pre-.
cinct club election. Andrews and Buzz.
andcau claimed, without truth and
Andrews ruled, without previous no.
tice that the precinct roll heretofore
In use had been made void by the
change of the precinct boundaries,
ana that new roll must he signed
They presented new roll and re.
fused 20 allow anyone to vote at the
club election unless registered in the
new roll As a result, they refused
to allow the nomination of Geo. r..
Danison for President. because Denis.
ON was not registered on the "ncw
rolf thus sprnng. The fact is that
the change Of precinct boundaries was
made prior to the signing of the roll
they thus ruled out.
2. At that club election. when the
Official ballots appeared. they had In.
serted the name Of NJ. c. Swift among
the candidates for election as "A Judge
OF election. Swift had not been nom.
mated.
3. Al the same election they VIC.
lated the rule recurring printing Of
the names of the candidates i'm alpha.
bctical order. The purpose of this
trick was to confuse voters who can.
not read English and who mark their
ballots according to the number OF
spaces between names, from top to
bottom, opposite the names which
they are previously advised should
be In n certain order under the rule
of alphabetical arrangement.
4. On election night. Lorrin An.
drews. a candidate, created himself a
Judge of election. and when the first
protests were made he ordered pO.
liceman he had provided to clear the
protes.ants away. When the protests
became a storm. and his vacation of
the place was demanded. and Hem.
enway was named by reclamation to
take his place, he retired. II was
only thus that he Offered to retire
and asked Mr.. Hemcnway to take his
place. as the morning press reported
his version OF the incident.
>. We firmly believe that official
ballots were marked and distributed
before the polling hour, In favor of
the "Androws.B uffandeau" ticket. We
suppose It will be attempted again.
9. Buffandeau has done all posi-.
BILE to prevent our enrolling voters
FOR the coming precinct primary; he
has been "out" frequently to us. and
lin" to applicants for registration on
his side; he has forgotten" the roll.
and "lelt II at home" When he was
reported to have said: II will fool
that Manoa bunch; they think they
are getting a copy of the roll. but I
have another ! will spring on them"
he thereafter refused Ia let any Of
orr Committee see the roll to learn
who was enrolled.
7. by See rs Art I or the Rules.

s. Bunandcau propoTed on nnmln1 |
ti"n night that representative nr |
our Committee should check the roll /
with him the next night. tn prevent |
any claim Of his tampcring with II |
after closing. When StCcre. Warren !
and Cooper called the next NIGHT aud |
asked for leave 10 make copy Cf the !
roll, as closed. both Andrews and Buzz |
lndcau refused absolutely. These rem. |
Of our Committee were |
from the way the roll has
been kept, that no mere initiating OF
pngcs or names, as Buffandcau In. |
sisted was his proposal. would serve |
to prevent crooked work with II there. |
They therefore asked for leave to
rory II, or be furnished with Il copy |
Andrews said that the roll was, nc.
rordlng to decision of the County |
executive committee, strictly priv. |
Rtc record. members having no Fight 4
NJ inspection, and that such thing |
has never been allowed in any pre-
cinct.
The fact Is that the County exccu
live committee has never made any |
such decision ne claimed by Andrews !
aud could not do 80 consistently with |
the Advertiser" to the |
contrary neutrality-suspicious.
