TRIED ALL KINDS OF TRICKS
Gang" Fought Desperately to Hold
Philadelphia

In their desperation to win the
election, the organization workers
resorted to all the tricks of the
game and offiEeholders, especially
the police and firemen violated the
Shern law, which forbids pernicious
political activity. In many wards
policemen and firemen were set to
work pulling doorbells and urging
voters to go to the polls.
At the Office of the Committee of
Seventy many complaints were re-
ceived of violations OF the election
laws. There was information to the
effect that repeaters were voting on
the names of persons who had moved
and few cases OF intimidation of
voters.

George w. Peck who once served
most creditably as the Governor. Of
