little doubt but that Walter J. Woo*

Sponsored by a . radical element
that has little place in a com-munity
like Freeport, Mrs. Adele

nominees of the New Village party
probably will receive scant con

several persons have been heard to
remark there probably will be dis-tricts
in which they will not re-ceive
a single vote.

The measure provides fpr re-tirement

SANDER PETITION DEFECTIVE
Despite the fact that the pe-titions

ways, Village Council Henry P,

names of the candidates to appear-on
"the voting machines at next

"We don't want to. make martyrs -
out of them," Mr. Vielbig remarked.
In the* ntst place according to
Mr. Vielbig, the ^petitions do not
contain the necessary signatures oif
95 required qualified voters. Though
the petitions contain 308 names,
only 64-of that number were found
to have been registered "for the
election last November at the time
they signed the petitions* This is
31 less than the 95 required.
And secondly, the petitions were
not numbered at the foot of each,

for which omission they might be .
rejected.
