could occur.
There Ia here glarlng and willful error OF
fact and suggestion meant to create trou-
BILE:
It ia understood that the Mayor will on that
day order OIL drinking saloons to be nloaed. ~ ~
that no hrunkenn. ss or scenes OF disorder will

drinking saloons on election days, and he will
doubtless follow the law and custom on Oc-

create disturbance In the third and eleventh
wards, tie fact that the Times makes the as
