...apparition strode through a back door of the supermarket. The woman ran for a telephone and called the police. The masked figure had been robbing suburban Los Angeles supermarkets for ten months, had gotten away with more than $50,000. Anywhere else a man in a space suit would have attracted attention; but in Southern California eccentrics were so common that supermarket clerks refused, until too late, to get excited at the appearance of a Man from Mars.

For this reason, Mr. Potter's reasoning is misleading and fallacious. It is true, as he says, that the Republicans with united effort could have gotten their five candidates among the top eighteen to qualify for the November final election to the City Council. Once nominated, however, the Republicans would have been sure to lose in November. Only 27,000 votes were needed to qualify a candidate in the recent primary but a candidate will need...
