10 The Ultra AhOliticniste in the 9Th Cong res
sional District of Massachusetts, made effort at
the late election in Massachusetts todefeat theelec
ton Of John Quincy Adams, and for this purpose
gave their suffrages to renegade Wing by the
name Of Appleton Howe The Boston Atlas thus
notices the rebuke which the people of the dis

the vacancies in the Senators from Norfolk were to
be filed, he betrayed the party which placed him
there. His dupGeity to JOHN Quincy ADAMS,
il another Of his shining qualifications. In 1912,
