There was little to substantiatC
the rumors of United States inter

ports gained wide credence.1
One report was that Palmer Ander

General Sargent for permission tC
commission 500 deputy marshals t.
stand guard at the polls.
A similar attempt was made al
the last state election, but Washing

ruled that primary was state
matter, not federal, and refused
commissions for the deputies.
1t was said, however, that a recent
supreme court ruling made primar

thus enabled the federal authoritie:
to take action.

that politics will be the cum
