Zalewski Has Good Reasons For Change
Pittsburgh, Aug 2. Polessaum Zalewski of Bethel township, a Republican candidate for constable, explains four reasons for using the name Ben W Smith on his nominating petition. Constable John W Goedicke, seeking re election, had sought to have Zalewski's petition declared invalid for not using his proper name. Zalewski states his automobile license, fire insurance policy, savings account, and his name on the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corporation roll all bear Ben W Smith, and that Zalewski was only used when he married in July 1916. The protest was withdrawn.
