Illinois McAdoo campaign committee,
that Tuesdays Democratic primaries
in Chicago were corrupt. were rel
terated today by David Ladd Rock
well, national chairman of the Nc
Adoo forces.
The primary in Chicago last Tues
day was aptly described by William
J.. O'Connell as the most corrupt
primary i have ever known in my OK
perience in Chicago politics." Rock
well said in a statement.
IL understand Mr.. 0'Connell is pre-
pairing evidence of gross and palpablt
fraud. and election theft which will
be presented TO the proper tribunal
This is cloud on the boss title He
referred to George T.. Brennan who
secured an uninstructed delegation to
the national convention from Illinois.
"One of the clearest evidences of
the Chicago fraud is to be found in
the comparison Of returns there with
the returns from Illinois outside of
Cook county," Rockwell said in his
statement. "Outside of Cook county
the McAdoo pledged slate of delegates
at-large ran considerably ahead of the
boss slate"
