Primary Law is such that I believe
these facts should be frankly stated.
1T should be clear. of course. to
the public that these Democrats may
have entered the Republican prima-
ries In an entirely legal way. and. in
most instances. this was apparently
the ease. To the extent that they
complied with the enrolment law in
their aetien, there IL ne legal cause
for complaint, however Irritating 1t
may be to Republican sensibilities.
In some cases, however, the en-
rollment law was deliberately defied
and voters were permitted to vote
without any enrolment whatsoever.
To the extent that such illegal vot-
ing can be shown I think all will
agree that IL should be eliminated
from the returns.
Considerable difficulty also arose
through shortage of ballots in GER
tain towns. I have lists of voters in
certain towns desiring to vote for
me who were prevented from doing
so by lack of ballots. This shortage
arose In some cases at least by reas-
on OF the fact that Democrats came
in early. apparently by pre-arrange
ment. and exhausted the ballots.
Ten days before the primary cleo
ton / personally called upon the
Secretary of State and his assistant
and advised them of the great inter-
est in the primaries and stressed the
very great importantance of seeing
that plenty Of ballots were available,

an certain cases homemade bal
lots were used. do not know how
these are distributed as between the
candidates. but I feel that the only
basis on which it is possible to settle
the situation Is on the basis OF the
law. and this would mean the elm
ination of any ballots other than the
Official ballots, unless further oppor =

Any other action would very much
further arouse the feeling of resent

course for others to determine. The
present situation constitutes q very
serious infringement of the censtitu-
tional guarantee of suffrage.
IF the precedent Is established that

in order that they may determine
their course not only in the present
situation but with relation to any
future proposals that may be made
for a change in our laws. William
II. Pattangall, the Democratic can
didate for Governor has given a
statement to the press that my oppo-
nent was nominated by Democrat
ic participation, and has named Ward
in Augusta and the town Of Van
Buren, as two places where the cleo
ton returns showed clearly that sew
eral hundred votes were cast by
Democrats for him, accounting for
the majority which he received of
more than 400 in each of these pre-
cincts. The same participation of
Democrats is perfectly evident in
Wards and in Portland, which
gave to my opponent a very much
larger ma jority than the total Repub-
lican vote of those wards ever
amounted to. The same situation is
reported in Waterville and in several
other precincts in our state. This
seems to afford ample justification
for Mr.. Pattangalls claim OF credit
for his nomination.

of the utmost Importance that every
power Of the State should be here
exercised to the utmost to assure the

pales into insignificance before the
consideration of maintaining the con-

our election and governmental ma

CRONKH|TE DEATH
TRIAL BEGINS TODAY
Federal Court in West to
Start Pothier Hearing
After Six Years.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TACOMA, Wash, September co
Roland Pothier. former sergeant
bugler in the Army, was prepared
to go on trial in Federal court here
today charged with the murder of
Maj. Alexander Cronkhite at Camp
Lewis in October, 1918.
Pothier's trial will be followed on
October % by that of Robert Rosen-
bluth, former Army captain, indicted
with him for the Cronkhite murder.
The trials come as the climax to a
six years of investigation.
Maj. Cronkhite was shot under Pc
culiar circumstances while on a prac-
tice march with his command. An
Army investigating board returned a
verdict of accidental death, but the
dead mans father, Maj. Gen. Adel-
bert Cronkhite, was not satisfied
with the findings and started a chain
followed by alleged statements on
Pothier's part involving Rosenbluth,
which later were repudiated, and the
indictment of the two men by Fed
eral grand jury here in 1922 have at
tracted nationwide attention.
The question of jurisdiction has
delayed the trials for two years. The
United States Supreme Court ruled
recently that the Federal court here
must decide whether the cantonment
was Government property at the time
Maj. Cronkhite met his death. Adju-
dication of this phase of the case
will follow the selection of jury.
Eighty witnesses from all parts of
the United States and it's insular pos
sessions are here for the two trials.
