Show . THE CHARUK8 Mf FKAUD. The Herald charges that the Liberals practiced fraud in the school election. It is tho same old cry that has been sot up every time tho Liberals have won a victory It is the Herald's usual way of explaining defeat to tho People's party, and is taken for just what it Is worth simply nothing. The fact is that the Liberals have a sullicient majority to get along without practicing frauds, evn if they were so incliued. If there wero any frauds tho Liberal leaders say they know nothing about them, and furthermore that they will assist iu prosecuting any persons who can bo shown to have done any crooked work. In tha February election the" Herald claimed that all of tho Liberals were illegally elected. In the school election, elec-tion, however, it claims that only oue of tho Liberals was elected in an illegal ille-gal manner. This is indeed a great improvement, im-provement, aud shows that the Liberals are becoming inoro honest. This is a big admission on the part of the Herald, Her-ald, and is really appreciated. . . Tho fact is that in the Fourth ward tho Liberals can carry t he election in August by about seventy majority. |
