Secretary Sugarman, applying for
blanks to file socialist candidates for

being appealed and he will have lost
no citizenship until the conviction is
sustained
Stating that he will refuse Ben
tall filing, if presented, Mr. Schmahl
said that he wishes the question de-

A similar law question is involved
in the case of James A. Peterson of
Minneapolis. who was convicted un-

to Leavenworth prison for four years
after he had filed as a candidate for
United States senator.
Secretary Schmahl said that in this
instance it was expected that the
court in which the conviction was
obtained would issue an order strik-
ing Peterson's name from the ballot.
