Even the contest for the election
of eleven majority and six minority

Voters' League candidate, who was
given a minority place.
The sixteen ether places in the
se-called miner judiciary went cither

The Chinese consortium is an Inter

China is afraid that the plan which

political support behind Hie con

China's Side of Story
As nlread.v intimated, in this corre
spondence, the Chinese contention is
that all of China's present financial
troubles' spring from the determination
of the consortium under American
leadership te use ils exclusive control
of credit for China te compel China te
pay certain bends paid te Cermaii in
terests for the construction of the I In
Kuaug Hallway.
The exact tints are net available

is put fertlf for lirepagauda purpe- -s.
it is denied by Themas W. I.ameiit,

the American group in the consortium.

MISSES FOSTER AND SNYDER
CRUSHED BY STEAM ROLLER
The Vare Combine, entitled under thu
Inw te only pirn n of the seventeen
magistrates elected yesterday, gobbled
up a total of sKtern.
An analysis of the returns shows that
this wns t lip result of an old-fashioned
bipartisan ileal between the Combine
nnd the Democratic machine organiza
tion. The deal destroyed nil Winner of real
minority i-eprnfrrntatien In the election
of the magistrates.
The genuine minority in the city'
electorate, according te the Inw. should
have wen sis magistrates. It wen only
one, Ilenjamin II. Henshnw. commit
ting magistrate nt City Hall by np np
peintment of Mayer Moero.
Henshnw broke the stranglehold of
the bipartisan machine with the In In
eorsement of the Mayer, the Voters'
League nnd independent Democrats.
(Jrab lTp Other Places
The five ether se-called minority
magistracies were grabbed by machine
Democrats, with the necessary backing
of Combine votes.
This deal, according te Fdvvnrd J.
Hunter. seeietnry of the Voters
League, demonstrates the necessity for
the continuance and development et the
work of that organization.
"The League will eflV-ct Its organiza
tion." Mr. Hunter said, "and continue
the battle against bi-pnrti-an cembi-
1..1UOII WIN! tile nlfu of stiii.ii,.,. nt
the root of the evil."
The figures sh,,w ,lat jf j( m(I net
been for this bi-paitisau deal two
women. Miss Katheiina K. Fester and
Miss Fdii.i M. Snyder, as well as Mag
istrate Hebcrt Carsen, would have been
