PA0NESSA AGREES,
 HALL0RAN DOES TOO
(Continued From First Pagc).


 lowing proposition. believing it will meet with your approval, that it will make for increased benefit to the suc- cessful candidate, and the cause which he espouse.
 For Mayor Only.
 'I propose that we request the democratic town committee to ar range for primaries to be held in each of the six wards on the 30th day of March, 1922; the polls to be open be- tween the hours of D. m. and D. m., that a vote be taken by check list confining the right to vote to all per- sons not registered for republican primaries, or if you prefer confning the right to vote to registered dem- ocrats; the voters to express their the nomination for mayor; and if the town committee decides at the same time selecting delegates to the city convention to make nominations for the other places to be filled on the ticket: you and l agreeing that the man receiving the lesser number of votes shall not permit his name to be presented to the city convention.
 "The matter of location of polls, moderators, tellers, checkers and the other details would naturally be un- der the control of the town commit tee.
 Convention Outlined
 "This method would in no way in- terfere with the city convention or party rules and would place the choice where it naturally belongs in the will of the voters upon whom any candidate must rely for success There can be no question of packing conventions or taking undue advan- tage, and we know that the present city convention has long outlived its usefulness and has created dissatls- faction on many occasions.
 q want the nomination, but I want it only if the voters are willing that I should have it. If this proposition is accepted by you, I now sincerely promise you that in the event of my having the lesser number of votes will support your candidacy and that all my friends will aid me in securing your election.
 T have always regarded you as believer in honesty and fair play, and know of no fairer or more honest method of securing the will of the people and I firmly believe that you will agree to my proposition.
 This in general is my plan. If you have suggestions as to alterations changes, or improvements, l shall be only too glad to meet you or rep resentative and draw up formal plan embodying any workable suggestions you may see fit to offer.
 .In order that the voters of the city may know conditions and that time in explaining the matter may be saved I am mailing copies of this let ter to the chairman of the democratic town committee and the newspapers
 Hoping that the above plan will be accepted by you, and with con- tinued respect and friendly feelings I am,
 Yours very truly
 ANGELO M. PAONESSA.'
