fills year in the Third ward the
Democratic nominee for council re-
ceisAd seventeen votes fewer
than the Democratic nominee
did last year. Does the Exponent
stakel that to mean that the Demo-
Gratis last year cast seventeen illegal
votes in that ward? Whenever a
man gets more votes one year than
another It declares there have been
illgal voting and repeating and ac-
cordtng to itss line Of argument, it II
declares the Democratic vote thia

an the. Fourth ward the Demo-
cratic nominee Tor council received
twelve more votes this year than last
years Democratic candidate there
did. Based on last years figures
ne, should have received thirteen
more instead of only twelve more?
Does that show wholesale fraud,
when the fact is taken into consid-
seration. that his opponent received
a majority Of eighty-two? IF " the
Democratic nominee had received
this one additional vote according to
the. proportion of increase his oppo-
nent would still have had a majority
ofseighty. The cry of fraud is GER
taihIy SO flimsy that 1T falls to pieces
of its own. volition.

based on last years election fig
urss and granting that the increase
in the vote in the Fifth ward for
this year was proportiopate, which
evidently dtdSnot take place, the
Democrats made a gain of eight but
should have made one of fifteen
votes AS the Republican NOMINEES
received a plurality of eighty-nine,
iieftohld have spared the Demo
cratic nominee the seven votes the
proportion of the gain would have
given, It 1t had been Democratic to
that extent, and5still had a plurality
Of seyenty=five votes. The Exponent
will have to use several field glasses
to see any fraud in that situation.
