Harding Men Use Council in Trick Play
The city council, aligned with the Harding machine, replaces election inspectors with Harding favorites, prompting Shank allies to protest as tensions rise. Royse, Hofmann, and others push a midnight slate in the Eleventh ward, giving Metzger control feared by Shank supporters, while Clark and Clay defend fairness but fail to win reversals. Police protection accompanies Royse after tense confrontation as factions clash over the board makeup ahead of the August 5 vote.
