VOTERS WILL FIGHT
TO REGAIN BALLOT
$500 Citizens in Chester County
Disfranchised by New
Law
NOMINATIONS AFFECTED

Voters of three townships in Chester
County, about $500 citizens In all,
found themselves disfranchiscd today
when they read the provisions of SEN
ator II. Larry Eyres rcdistricting bill
which went through the last session of
the Legislature.
The three townships which are buzz
ing with excitement because they lost
their vote somewhere in Senator Eyre $
reshuffling of districts are West VIM
cent. West Salisbury and West Pike
land. all of which 81 far as voting Is
concerned, have gone west COM
plctcly.
The irate citizens are wondering
them. or handed them a subtle rap with
his legislative blackjack. They say
they will go into court. either through
suit brought by the County Commits.
sioners., or by individual taxpayers
suits. and have the whole net thrown
ont on the ground that any legislation
is unconstitutional which deprivcs Il
citizen of his right t" vote at the polls.
The rcdiatrctng Of the county was
decided on way back last March year
ago. senator Eyre then called into
conference the three Representatives
from the district. W. W. Long. OF
coatcsvilc: Thad Harry and Captain
Samuel Whitaker. of Phocnixvillc. Sen
ator Ere explained that he wanted ia
rcdistrict tho county. so aS to make 1t
easier for the three representatives. who
would have only one dist rict to ''stumr
ut election time instead of all three as
heretofore. Senator Eyre at that time
proposed to make three districts in the
county.
Then came row between Eyre ant
Long over Judge j. Frank Hausc
whom Eyre tried to- remove by clim
mating one Of the judges Of tho county.
"Bill" Long defeated the Senator, ant
Eyre then succeeded in cutting the
county into two instead of three dis.

ships were left. out of the rcdiStrictins
hill. They aren't even mentioned 81
far ms the law goes. they don't ever
cyiSt.
\ further complication arises from
the fact that nomination petitions fo
the next primaries were circulated il
these districts. and the signatures o
disfranchsed citizens may outlaw them
The primary law requires that nomina
tion petitions be filed forty days befor
the primaries. That Is impossible now
if the petitions signed in these thrc
districts are Outlawed.
The oversight would have been dc
terted sooner and perhaps rcmedie'
save that a printers strike At Harris
burg held up the legislative iournn
and pamphlet laws. in which it ha
just been discovered.

Deep down in the steel door vaults
of the old United States Sub Treasury
is hidden treasure more precious than
the wealth of gold once buried there.

the customs officials from incoming

Just how much liquor is in the cellar
nobody knows. and nobody seems to
care. For it is as safe there aS the

Once in n while shipment Of seized
