fuckers UNFAIR METHODS

There is a Progressive Republican
League in the state. and the chair
man of the executive committee, H.
N. Tucker, lives at Courtenay, NJ. D.
The day before election. Mr.. Tucker
in behalf of the League. sent out
thousands Of circulars to all parts Of
the state, urging the Progressives to
vote for one candidate only, where
as many as three we're running for
the same office. Now the Independ-
ent claims to be t,,sut as progressive
in its Views % any newspaper In the
northwest, but we can't stand for
fuckers unfair methods. The Pro
gressives will do we'll to read Mr..
Tucker out Of that wing of the re-
publican party.
Tucker said in one of the circulars:
"1n the third congressional district,
the progresaves MUST vote for Nor
ton for first choice and Devine for
second, or Devtne for first and Nor
ton for second choice. Notwithstand-
ing that the second choice voting is
optional, neither Of these candidates
can win without second choice votes.
The same is true in the second
congressional district. Progressives
must pick for themselves the two
strongest men of the three progress
sives-Young, White or Bessesen and
vote for the strongest for first choi''
and the next strongest for second
choice"
A nice way Mr.. Tucker would
treat his brother Progressive.
Referring to the governor candi-
dacy, he says: "Under this ruling, no
progressive need vote for a staiwart
for second choice unless he wants
to-"
