PROUD OF VICTORY
Defeated Candidates Fail

That Sheriff John W. Tobin and
the four men with him on the Peo-
= pies Ticket who so decisively defeat
ed rival candidates on the Citizens
Ticket at last Mondays primary, will
be given large complimentary vote
at the general municipal election on
May s was the prediction made by
supporters of the former Saturday.
The women. in particular, are deter
mined to vote in large numbers, 1t
was said.
Although the primary campaign
closed a week ago last Saturday,
precinct chairmcn of the women's or
ganization for the PEOPLES Ticket held
an enthusiastic meeting at . Tobin
headquarters Friday afternoon. AL
most 200 women it was estimated.
: attended this meeting. All were loud
in voicing their determination to
bring out a heavy vote for the
candidates on the Peoples Ticket at
/ the May s election and are striving
TO equal or excel the mems vote.
Chairmen from several Of the pre-
cincts made brief talks, describing
their work during the primary and
outlining a plan of campaign to pre-
cede the general election. Refresh
ments were served at the conclusion
of the talks.
Fail To Withdraw Names.
"The women are greatly pleased at
the decisive majority given Sheriff
Tobin and the other candidates in the
primaries" Mrs. j. c. Griswold,
speaking for the precinct workers said.
"But we are determined to give these
men a large vote at the general cleo
ton MS a tribute to their popularity.
To this end we are determined TO
work night and day from now until
May 8, when we expect to bring out
heavy vote"
Whether names Of one set of
candidates or two will appear on the
official ballot when it is printed next
week was undetermined up to noon
Saturday when the office of the city
clerk closed for the day. According
to Assistant City Clerk James Simp-
| son no official notification from the
| candidates on the Citizens Ticket that
|s@Aey wished their names withdrawn
had been received. Unless notice to
this effect is received before Monday
or Tuesday, when the ballots must so
" tnc pilhttit hC odius huihea Va
sets of candidates will be placed
! thereon.
Official Notice Lacking.
Assistant City Attorney Ray Mar
shall, in an opinion given out Friday,
held that official notice of a desire
to withdraw on the part of the candi-
dates would be sufficient authority for
their names to be left off the ballot.
His opinion was delivered following
the adoption of a resolution in the
city council providing that these
names be left off, in view of the
fact that they had publicly withdrawn
from the race. Since Mr.. Marshall
ruled that official notice is required,
however, it is apparent that this reso-
luton will have no effect unless such
notice is filed with the city clerk.
The assistant city attorney also
held. in his opinion that the general
election must be held as no officers
were elected at the primary but were
merely nominated.
With the prospect that names of
two sets of candidates may appear on
the official ballot, supporters of the
Peoples Ticket are expected to active
ly take the field Monday and con-
duct a weeks campaign in order TO
bring out heavy vote at the general
election so that there will be no doubt
ms to the final outcome.
