Page "editorial" Paragraph 663

It was my desire to advise the membership of the Legion that the majority of polling places are on private property and, without an amendment to the law, we could not enforce this.

My discussion with reference to the resolution was that we should commend those citizens who serve as judges of election and who properly discharge their duty and polling place proprietors who make available their private premises, and not by innuendo criticize them.

At no time did I attempt to seek approval or commendation for the members of the Chicago board of election commissioners for the discharge of their duties.
