time of the hearing Mr. Reber said nothing about anything but that he had been ad" '*seems
his petitions had been signed on Sunday. I think we are confined to that and that MAR"IS that
the 3xv gives us says that a candidate mot not withdraw •any withdrawal notice already filed and
thereby reinstate his position. It would seem to me that we mast GoWly with this mandate In the
absence of any testimony or evidence to Ahe contrary. My advice to the Doorid in that this with-
