Board Rules Against Republicans in Election Hearing
The Board of Election Commissioners heard charges of illegal registration against Democratic voters, ruling against the complainants in most cases where respondents appeared. Many summonsed witnesses were poor laborers missing time to attend. those who testified proved their right to vote, seen as evidence Republicans aim to deter voters for Curtis. Ex Alderman Horace G. Allen and Rep Charles H. Innes acted for the complainants, while Joseph J. Corbett, & J. Flynn, and W. T. A. Fitzgerald spoke for Democrats and affected wards. In Ward 6 many names were listed. several cases were sustained against the ward’s complainants, others defaulted with later restoration possible before election day. Hearings for Ward 7 are set to resume at 10:30 this morning.
