ers supporter, and one of the suc
cessful aldermanic candidates, said
Ibis morning; "You can say for me
that Mayor Stewart and his executive
committee promised the People of
Savannah a fair election. From in
formation received from our workers ,
and from personal observation yes
terday 1 am convinced that they did
not Rive us a fair election. I hopej
the executive committee will prompt
ly throw out the illegal vote s cast for
. Mr. Stewart and declare Mr. Rogers,
the nominee.’’
"You may announce that there will
he a contest of yesterday’s primary. ;
It was the most outrageous exhibi
tion of disorder and disregard of the]
rights of the people to have a clean j
election that has ever been seen in
S- vannah.” said M. A. O’Bryne, an
other Rogers supporter and who w'as :
among the successful aldermanic can
didates.

fact that France obtained from her
allies concessions which, while not
