From Another Point of TeD
By c. T. S.

Hughes has lost his voice. II is I'M
fortunate, in the opinion of good many,
that this could not have happened TO him
earlier in the campaign.
Misfortunes never come singly. Hughes
voice has given out and Lou Rowley has
written another letter attacking the
Democratic administration.
We still incline to our opinion that if
Hughes is elected. il will be in spite OF
the Lou Rowley letters.

Let Us Have Federal
Supervision In Detroit
and An Honest Election!

In = letter to United States District
Attorney Kinnane, Henry M. Leland sug-
rests supervision of the coming election
A Detroit by federal authorities, and
his suggestion will meet with the ap-
prevail Of every decent and true citizen.
The Leland letter sets forth the charge
that conspiracy exists in this city to
rob the honest voter of voice in govern
msnt, taking from him his dearest con-
S&itutional privilege, and there is plenty
u evidence at hand to back up such
charge.
We have the mess in the Twenty-frst
ward for an example.
Election inspectors in the booths in
TINT district took the ballots cast for
one candidate and marked them or de-
stxoysd them and turned them to the
bens6t Of another candidate.
The election inspectors in the Twenty
fkst ward who were guilty Of these prac-
tless deserve TERMS IN PRISON, but
our prosecutor informs us that criminal
nctiou In their cases is unlikely-that it
would be hard to secure convictions.
We understand that the limit of pun
Iuhmsnt contemplated is the dismissal of
the guilty inspectors from their places
BY the governor.
That limit will serve no purpose what
soever in the direction of honest cleo
lions in Detroit.
Il would not serve to deter the men
chosen to take their places, should they,
too, feel disposed to take the interests of
some candidate in hand at the next cleo
ton and manipulate the votes to suit
their designs.
With Uncle Sam represented in the
booths on election day in November, TO
protect the voters in their constitutional
right of franchise and to insure the
counting of THEIR votes for the candi-
dates and the issues voted for, we could
have ONE honest election here, anyhow,
and for ONCE, at least, real expression
of local sentiment.
The people of Detroit, the voters for
principle in Detroit, are entitled to the
federal supervision suggested, and the
district attorney should do everything
In his power to see that they get it.
Mr.. Leland has once again demonstrat-
Cd his great civic pride and interest and
the decent citizen of Detroit owes him a
vote of thanks.
