Dear Sir-We the members of the

against the manner in which the
city attorney made statements to the
press, to the effect that members OF
the election boards we're under the
influence Of liquor stronger than one
half of one per cent. on Election
Day. The city attorneys statement
is not broad enough. He should
say who those election board mem
bers were. Instead, the city attor-
ney casts reflections on the members
of all the election boards of this city
The city attorney ought to know
better than make such statements
