DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT
Gives His Views in Letter of Eff
fort Of Cox Supporters for
Clean Election.

Charles Warner. Republican State
chairman. today sent letter to Henry X.
Iaaacs. the Democratic State chairman,
expressing his views on clean elections and
the personnI work of the Democratic chief
A copy of the letter follows:
"Dcar Sir: In recent public communica-
tions YOU have dwelt at length on the
question Of clean elections and honest suf-
frage.
"Whlle we could not agree on the prac-
ticability and effectiveness Of your slig-
pesti ons, we fully agreed with the broad
prin ciples we thought YOU were advancing
We applied our own practical methods OF
honestly carrying these principles into
effect and have consistently aimed TO
make good on our broad public pledge to
see that the rights Of qualified voters were
protected
Our Interpretation Of clean and decent
elections covers broadly the principle that
every citizen entitled 10 vote shall have n
fair and untrammeled opportunity tn cast
his or her ballot without any illegal IN
nuence for or against.
The illegal act of intirnidating and ter
rt,rizing citizens with obvious voting
qualifications by threat OF legal prosccu
tions which they can Ill afford the time
and money tn defend constitutes a'
serious crime against the honest eX
preston of public opinion NJ the polls a
| any attempt 10 iuflIence votes by the usf
| of money, liquor and similar unmora
| practices.
You, yourself, during the past few
DAYS, have by public statement and pubii'
appearance in court n press under age
eases against Negroes of over 45 years q
age, directly participated in this unrnora
practice aimed Intimidation OF whole
groups ri citizens who are as legally en-
titled 10 vote as you and l.
Your agents. using the fear Of iega
practice and the troubles 0f defending
appeals brought against many peopl
with voting rights, have obviously aino'
to intimidatc others with equal right
against registering
"Besides the question Of illegalIty Q
such practices as adopted by yofl AM
yol,r agents. which will be presented .
The proper authorities in due course, "
unuialiiicdlv condemn such methods Q
,onposcd to our modern American ideals
They directly compare with the forme
Democratic practices II disqualfyn
honest Republican voters through ISL
ance of incorrect tax receipts and slmla
means
aThe Republican State Committ'
gives far notice that It will proceed
every legal and moral manner 70 prote
the Republican voters of thIs State 70 3
! that they arc not. cheated Of their Il
rights OF citizenship.
