With Unionist William Lemke barred from California's ballot, Dr. Francis E. ("The Plan") Townsend decided last week to vote for Alf Landon, summoned his California disciples to do likewise. "I cannot and will not," declared the old pensioneer, "support for the Presidency the man who is our sworn enemy. I advise that we choose the lesser of the two evils. . . ."

The first, utterly inglorious, involved Emil Hurja, Democratic Boss Farley's No. 1 assistant, who was disfranchised when the election board at Crystal Falls discovered that his absentee ballot was improperly witnessed.
