on that day will not amount to a row

fight
Mr. Jones then invited the candi-
| dates to ask any questions on the
| election law on which they might
be a doubt in their minds and for an
hour he was a busy man explaining
various phases of the law as to the
right of candidates to enter the poll
ing place, the challenging of voters,
the voting of persons who request
assistance and that all important
question relative to the count of the
ballots after the polls closed.
That is the most important matter
of all" said Mr.. Jones. "Stay in the
polling place until every ballot is
counted and see that they are counted
correctly. Don't be afraid to call the
attention of the election officers to
any mistake you might see, because
we are oil human and liable to make
mistakes at any time.
| "If anything should occur during
the day at the polling place which
you don't think is according to the
law, get on a telephone, call up head
quarters, and you will be instructed
| how to proceed"
Following Mr.. Jones, Thomas Gold
ingay. who presided at the meeting,
called upon City Counsel Spaulding
Frazer to say something. No little
| amusement was caused when the
chairman in introducing Mr.. Frazer
referred to him as the man who
has stood shoulder to shoulder with
Mayor Raymond in his fight, County
Counsel Frazer"
In opening, Mr.. Frazer laughinsly
denied that he was the county coun-
sci, and said that he could not recog-
nize any physical resemblance be-
tween "Dal" and himself.
He told the assembled candidates
of the fight that was being waged for
control of the county committee, and
said that they were confident of sue
cess.
1.-THE regular candidates, as they are
called, but l can't for the life of me
tell why they should be. so desig-
mated" said Mr.. Frazer, ARE trying
to make campaign material out of the
fact that we have not made nomina-
tions for county committeeman in
every district. At the next election
of the county committeeman they
will see just why we did not nominate
in every district, for there are a num-
ber of committeeman whom they
think are with them who will vote
to wipe out the present system in
vogue when the time comes
He told Of the fight that had been
waged and said that he had no doubt
as to the outcome.
Edmund b. Osborne followed the
city counsel and delivered one of his
usual characteristic speeches against
boss control of the Republican party
He also told the assembled candi-
dates why he returned to the Repub-
liean party.
''It is because think 1t contains the
finest and most intelligent manhood
of the nation" said Mr.. Osborne.
Thomas Goldingay followed Mr.
Osborne, and in his speech he pro-
pounded q number of questions foI
Assemblyman Charles c.. Pilgrim. wht
is a candidate for reelection on the
"Dal" ticket, TO answer. GoldingaS
said:
at see that Charles Pilgrim has
become the main spokesman and de-
fender OF the Dalrymple system, ant
this Is very good example of jus'
how the system works.
