 As for me- said Commissioner Bar Der, 'I am ready to answer these ty.es- tions at once. However, I want to say that I am very much impressed with the interest you gentlemen are display ing in the coming elections as I be- lieve that it is step forward to have the electorate informed on how to vote. We will have conference of the com mssiion as a whole where we will talk over these questions and then the policy regarding your queries will undoubt- edly be formulated"
 Both Commissioners Ward and Hor- nady stated that conference of the whole board was necessary to decide such matter of importance, but that undoubtedly it would be arranged satis- factorily to all concerned
