PROTEST ON BALLOT


(Centinued from Page u
nation papers. One Of these ques-
lions is called forth by the fact that
| the document sent in by one candi-
date, which did not express his party
utilization, was taken by q represen-
tatiye of the party and the oversight
remedied by that man. Whether the
/ law requires that each candidate
shall himself write in the utilization.
Tor shall be permitted to have some
zone else do It. is q matter over which
the Secretary is inclineds to express
some doubt.

Matter Admittedly Serious.
Robert w. Single, chairman of the
