One anti-United Nations

The disturbance occurred
after a United Nations Day

him at one point.

only briefly.
He appeared startled but un-

In a statement to the AVIS, Alfred E. Hayes said
in regard to Judge Gordon's decision: In my opinion
the way Judge Gordon ruled on this case is realistic.
His judgement recognizes the realities Of the situation.
His decision not to substitute the. opinion Of one judge
for the choice Of the general electorate is Democracy
in action.
knowing the local political situation as we all do,
| certainly think that the Donkey Democrats proved
their case Of fraud and conspiracy, and as. a layman
looking at it from the outside I am surprised that on
legal grounds the judge did not find for the regular
Democrats.
But. on practical grounds the only way to settle
this is at the ballot box. The people must have their
choice Of government and the election will decide the
course of our government in the Virgin Islands for a

PRIMARY EEcuoN TO BE HELD

Today, Judge Walter Gordon denied a motion by

candidates from running in the primary election sche-
duled for tomorrow, November 1st.
The celebrated case which had its inception last

The decision by Judge Gordon, which came as a

siye and hard fought case in which the Donkey Demo
Gratis, through their attorneys Cox and Bornn, attempts,
ed to prove that the Mortar and.Pestle candidates were
guilty of conspiracy, deceit and fraud in representing
themselves as Democrats, in an attempt to take =oyers
the Democratic Party.
In handing down his decision at ZOO PM, Judge
Gordon stated that the injunction. was denied and that
the Plaintiff had failed to show sufficient evidence to
warrant its issuance.
As a result of this decision, the primary election
