SMITH NOT ELIGIBLE FOR MAYOR,
NOT A RESIDENT, PORTER ASSERTS
George D. Porter, Franklin party candidate for Mayor, thi afternoon
ittutd thi statement)
I charge that Thoma B. Smith it ineligible to the office of
Mayor of the City of Philadelphia.
It bate that charge upon the abiolute and irrefutable fact that
he ha not been a bona fide resident of thi city for the latt five
year, a i required by the Bullitt bill a a qualification for election
to the office of Mayor.
I charge that Thoma B. Smith' reiidence i now, and ha been
for the latt five years, at Glemide, Abington towmhip, Montgomery
County, Pa.
I charge that Thoma Br Smith doe not live with hi wife and
family at 2444 North Broad street, Philadelphia, the addrett he
claimt at hit retidence in the city of Philadelphia.
I charge that he hat registered there in defiance of the law in
an effort to ecure a pretended legal reiidence in the city of Phila
delphia. I challenge Thoma B. Smith to answer these charge himself,
and not through John P. Connelly, or tome other organization
lawyer.
I demand that he antwer thete charget specifically, and not gen
erally. If he attempt to deny theie charge, I demand that he tell
the people of Philadelphia how much time he and hi family have
tpent at 2444 North Broad ttreet, Philadelphia, in the last five years.
In conclusion, let me say that in the Bell Telephone Directory
issued April 26, 191S, Thomas B. Smith i not listed as having a resi
dence telephone in the city of Philadelphia, but that in the same
directory his name appear in that portion of the directory devoted to
"Subtcriber Outside of Philadelphia," page 194, third column, a
follow t
"Ogontz S03. Smith. Tho. B., r. Glemide."
When Thoma B. Smith ha amwered thete charget the ittue
will go to the "court of latt retort" the voter of Philadelphia at
the election of Tuesday, November 2.
