]. II Is n fact that at the last prc.
cinct club election. Andrews and Bun.
andeau claimed, without truth and
Andrews ruled. without previous no.

They presented new roll and re.
FUSED to allow anyone to vote at the
club election unless registered in the
new ioll.' AS u result. they refused
to allow the nomination of Geo. =.
Dcnison for Pr sidcnt. because Denis.
ON was not registered on the new
rolf thus sprung. Tho 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 n Judge
Of election. Swift had not been nom.
mated.
.. AT the same election they viO-
lated the rule requiring printing of
the names of the candidates In alpha.
betical 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

enway was named by reclamation to
take his place, he retired. Il was
only thus that he Offered to retire
and asked Mr.. Hcmenway 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 ndtews.Buffandeau" ticket. We
suppose II will be attempted again.
6. Buffandeau has done all posi-
BILE to prevent our enrolling voters
Tor the coming precinct primary: he
has been out frequently to us, and
in" to applicants for registration on
his side: he has forgotten" the roll.
and left II at home" When he was
reported to have said ~ will fool
that Manoa bunch; they think they
are getting u copy of the roll. but
have another ! will spring on them."
he thereafter refused To let any Of
our Committee see the roll to learn
who was enrolled.

ti"n night that y representative of
our Committee should check the roll
with him the next night. to prevent
any claim of his tampering with II
after closing. when Stcere, Warren
and Cooper called the next night and
asked for leave tn make copy of the

andcau refused absolutely. These rep,
resentativcs Of our Committee were
satisfied, from the way the roll has
been kept that no mere initiating Of

after II crooked work were intended.
They therefore asked for leave to
copy II, or he furnished with a copy.
Andrews said that the roll was, nc,

The fact is that the County execu,
