drew a singing denunciation
from District G. o. P. Chairman
George l.. Hart, jr.

of the Republican State Com

crat, George P. Lamb. is desper-
ate for a slate of Republicans
to attach himself to-" Mr.. Hart
asserted. His first effort to
surround himself with a hand
picked slate by violating the
election regulations having been
discovered, he has scuttled that
slate and now tries to slyly ap-
Ipropriate another.
without their knowledge or
consent, indeed, without so much
as asking their permission, Mr..
Lamb has included on his
sample ballot, as part of his
slate, 18 of the members of the
State Committee slate. This
effort by Mr.. Lamb to confuse
the Republican voters can only
end in failure"
Mr.. Hart said he had suspected
that man of Mr.. Lamb S
political morality would not
hesitate to use on his slate
members of our slate, without
their permission" So he said

meet the situation in advance.
To-day said the chairman,
there is in the mail to all Re-
publican voters a letter signed
by every member of our slate
except one. who was in Mexico
and could not sign. a letter dis
claiming any connection with
Lamb and asking the voters tc
vote for all the State Committee
slate"

I'VE are confident" said Mr.
Hart. that this latest effort by
former Democrat George P
Lamb to deceive the voter will GET
him nothing but the contempt
which his action deserves"
In reply, Mr.. Lamb described
the statement as 1.-The dying gasr
OF the Hart machine"
