The following questions having

had through your columns.
l. Is the right of franchise not a dual
one, emitting voters to be likewise
voted for as members Of the Colonial
Council ?
2. Does the Act of Congress of IL July
a. C. not forbid persons owing allegi-
ance to other countries than the
United States of America the right
of being Council members, and con-
s%eqUently also the right of voting
for others :?
3. Did any such persons vote for the
candidates last Saturday?
4. If so was the election consistent and
will measures passed by this Council
be valid?
