Mayor Greenhut presided, calling
the meeting 10 order at 7:35 o'clock
The first matter Of interest which
came up after the meeting had been
called to order, was the request on
the part of Mr.. Semmes for permis-
sion to suggest the name of at least
one man in each poll, He said that
inasmuch as there were four candi-
dates, and that there We're four men
in each polling place, that it would
be a good idea for each candidate TO
place a name in nomination, SO to
speak.
He then presented a list Of his sug-
gested names. and the first precinct,
that of No. Il, did not please Com
missioner POu. The Semmes suggeS-
ton was Henry T. Beirne. ANY other
man in town would do, but Mr.. Beirne
He may not be fair; anyhow I wilt
object to him being in the poll" re-
marked Mr.. Pou. Mr. Semmes said
that he had already personally talked
with every man on the list he sug
gested. and had been assured that
each of them would be on hand early
enough on the morning Of the cleo
tion to go to work in the poll on time.
Mr.. Pou. however. persisted in his OBJ
lection Of the name Of Mr.. Beirue.
whereupOn Mr.. Semmes declared that
eff he did not have the privilege Of
suggesting a name to be placed on the
polling list that he would have moth
