to speak freely on matters appearing in
our columns. "Yinton" is peculiarly
lucid in his light, given 10 Jack of the

endeavor to have candidates for office
who are prominent members of some
Protestan! Church of Armenian, or
Ca!yinistic faith"

What better evidence Of the falsity
Of "Vintons" statements do the people
want than the tact that he says
"E. A. Bratton as well as our Com,
