We could fill newspaper with the
sworn statements we have about the
irregular practices of Mr.. Vocelle and
his supporters, we are going to re-
produce here just two sworn state
ments, the first to show that Mr..
Vocelle carried the registration book
to various parts of Camden county
and registered therein persons whom
! he believed would support him in
the primary, and passed by those he
had reason to suspect were against
him, and second to show that after
registering as many Of his friends as
possible he then demanded that those
OPPOSED to him who had not paid
their taxes prior to May 9Th, 1922,
should be stricken from the voters
list, although it has been custom in
Camden county for many years for
every one who pays his taxes before
the voters list is finally made up by
the registrars to remain on that list
as qualified voters. Here are the
statements:
