ELECTION NEVER
CLEANER DECLARES
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Whitman Says There'll Be Less
Fraud Than in All His
Is Experience.

Despite the deafening clamor os adj
vertisements OF private detective agcn-
Giles and the offering OF large rewards
securely bound up by impossible regula-
tions-there Is very little evidence OF
colonizlng and preparations for repeat
ing IN this election. District Attorney
whitman said to-day that In all his ex-
per.ence he has never seen such an en-
courasing condition Of affairs in respect
OF a clean and honest ballot.
"Only thirty indictments have been
found by the Grand Jury ror illegal
registration" said Mr.. Whitman, and
bench warrants have been Issued on
these indictments through my office.
OF course there have been many COM
plants in Magistrates courts. as Is al
ways the case following investigation
of the registration.
Conditions as to registration are
better than ever saw them. There
have been fewer charges of COLOMBIA
tion and false registration than ever
before. The arrangements for pre-
venting fraud are thorough and the
hand.
