Notice has been served upon the
Irish Standard that the decision of
the judges in respect to the second,
third, and fourth prizes will be con-
tested.
The principal objection made to
the decision is that the rules govern
ing the mailing of subscriptions from
outside of Minneapolis on the last
day were not correctly Interpreted.
1t is claimed that certain votes we're
admitted by the judges which would
have been thrown out if the rules
were properly construed, -.
We keenly regret that, any. dispute
should arise over the contest. The
arrangements sole object was to put
ON a successful campaign and to con.
duct it In fair and impartial manner
Our purpose in having outside judges
was to insure an entirely disinterest-
ed decision. We had no interest in
particular candidates, and we have
none now.
AS between the contestants for the
second. third and fourth prizes, we
hope that there will be an amicable
settlement of their differences.
In view of the fact that we have
been duly served with notice that the
award of the judges will be contested
in the courts, we will be obliged to
hold these prizes until it is determ-
ined either by agreement of the par
ties or by judgment of the court
who is entitled to them.
The Irish Standard wishes to ex-
press its congratulations to every
candidate who took part in the cam
paign and to every friend who assist
ed in making The Irish Standard
Progress Club an unparalleled success.
