ELECTION FRAUDS
Mex ELIAR SAYS He WANTS NO
ILLEGAL VOTES, AND ASKS
FOR INVESTIGATION.
BY r. M. Gates.

| Washington, Dec 3.-Malcolm r
Patterson, candidate for the Democrat
ic nomination for United States sena
| tor again Representative Kenneth d
Mcclellan, who led him by nearly 5000
votes in the first primary, has filed
with the Department of Justice a for
NAL complaint against certain alleged
irregularities in the Shelby County
primary of Nov 20, and asks for fed
eral investigation. incidentally, Dis
trict Attorney Fisher and Assistant
District Attorney Kyser are mentioned
for political activity" which, in the
mind of the complainant, approached
near TO the 'pernicious kind of
activity in politics that is as a rule
only odius when the party in power
has no other way of beheading a fed
eral official, generally a postmaster,
against whom no other grievance is
possible.
Apparently Gov. Pattercsons COM
plant is aimed particularly at the al
legged irregularities in the recent DEM
ocratic primary election in Shelby
county.
1t was learned that the Patterson doc
ument will be placed in the hands of
Assistant Acknowledgement Wallace,
who is a, present out of the city. This
means that the encouragement will
not personally consider the complaint.
Gov Pattersons formal letter, of
course, could not be seen by any per
son not officially connected with the
office Of the attorney-general, and un-
less the writer himself speaks out on
the subject, its contents may never be
made public
There is no precedent for the conclu-
sion that the Department of Justice
will take cognizance of the complaint.

PEACE CONFERENCE
TO BE HELD HERE
Meeting to Promote Interna-
tional Amity to Take Place in
independence Hall.

A word-peacc conference. said to have
the unofficial Endorsement of President
Wilson and planned by ex-President Taft
will be held in independence Hall June II
to consider the formation of league of
nations
This step is regarded as the most def
mite move toward international amity ye.
taken The men who called the meeting
are 100 OF the most prominent citizens of
the Country-nublic officials university
presidents, experts on International law,
humanitarians. Mayor Blankenburg's
name Is on the list.
The joint use of the military forces Of
the signatory Powers to prevent any OF
their number from going to war hastily
against another member of the league Is
advocated i'm the call issued from the
meeting, which contains four clauses
The possibility of war is greatly dimn-
ished by the preceding clauses, which
specify that all justifable questions aris-
ing between the members of the league,
not settled by negotiation, shall be taken
before an international court. Nom
justihable questions are to be submitted
to council of conciliation Conferences
at intervals shall be held by the signatory
Powers.
The plan, which originated with cx-
President Taft, was furthered in a series
of meeting by prominent peace advocates
at the Century Club, in New York At
the last meeting, on April 3. Hamilton
Holt moved that conference be held IN
Independence Hall, and the motion was
adupted
