Let a Judge Decide This!

To the Editor Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-ls this hypothesis Overdrawn?: ::
John Doe is leader of the 122d Ward
and can easily control and "deliver"
5000 votes in the mayoralty contest. Mr..
Moore needs his support badly. and so
does Judge Patterson. Each candidate
approaches him, but Mr.. Doe is non e
committal, even though he is really the
deciding factor in the fight.
While the mayoralty campaign is on
somebody sues Mr.. Doe for 81 ,25O 900,
and the hearing of the case is listed for
Judge Patterson court. Would not
that be most embarrassing for the
learned judge? And would not that EN-
barrassment be entirely due to himself?
