ing made to print his name on the
ballot.
Meanwhile. according to Mr. Gard
signers of the petition were in such
number as to reduce the petition to
less than the required 100 names. AS
a result of this the committee an
nounced it would not appear on the
ballot

BILE candidates had been entered from

name. il developed, was withdrawn
at Mr.. Smiths request before being
actually filed.
The name Of Herbert Hoover was

was democrat, the committee de-
clined to enter his name.
