MANY CANDIDATES
TOLOSE PLACE ON
OFFICIAL BALLOTS
Failure to Accept Nominations
Written on Tickets and File
Statements Cause Trouble.

Failure to file acceptances of nom
nations by candidates whose names
| did not appear on the regular ballots
on primary day, but which We're writ
ten in by voters, will cause a large
number of candidates to have their
names left off the official ballots to be
prepared by the county clerk for cleo
ton day.
The law requires that acceptances
be filed with the county clerk within
ten days after the primary day, and
according to the list furnished County
Clerk Joseph McDonough by City
Clerk James f. Connolly majority
of the men whose names were writ
ten in on primary ballots have failed
to comply with the law, and have
thus rendered themselves ineligible as
candidates on election day.
In addition four Democratic candi-
dates for city offices will likewise
lose their places on the official bal
lots for failure to file with the city
clerk statements showing their re-
ceipts and expenditures for campaign
purposes. This, besides preventing
them from obtaining a place on the
official ballot, Is a misdemeanor I'M
der the Geran election law and the
men named are liable to indictment.
Following the election a year ago
large number of men were indicted
for failure to comply with the law
and file expense statements. The in
dictments were quashed after the
men named in them had been sum-
moned to court and reprimanded for
derelection in failing to comply with
the law.
Alderman John J. McGovern, the
Democratic candidate or alderman
in the Seventh ward, was also eligi-
BILE or the Progressive (RoosevelD
party nomination. There was no
regular Progressive candidate or al
derman and there were two votes cast
or McGovern, making him the nomi-
nee. McGovern decided, however, to
run only as a Democrat.
Fail to File Statements.
In the present instance the four
men who failed to file expense state
ments are: William A. Marsh, Dem
ocratic candidate for constable in the
Tenth ward Charles Bossett, Demo-
cratic candidate for constable in the
Thirteenth ward; John Strong, Demo-
peace in the Fifteenth ward, and OF
to Nagel, Democratic candidate for
constable in the Sixteenth ward.
In the county districts all the can
didates named in the different NUM-

necessary expense statements.
