Marsh stated that as he is the republican town con- mitteeman from the first ward it would not be proper for him to sup port Mr. Brann or any other candi date. He understands there are a number of republicans seeking the nomination. II have the highest es- teem for MT. Brann, but I am in no way connected with his campaign. I never met the young man until he called on me regarding his petition, said MT. Marsh. He further declared his intention of showing i1npartiality in the campaign for the nomination but would work to elect the man sue cessful at the primary.
 MT. Brann when asked about peti- ton papers, made the statement that Mir. Marsh was handling that end of the requirement which led to the be- lief that MT. Marsh was actively con- nected with Mir. Brann's campaign.
