been so annoyed and embarrassed
by insincere endorsements tina. the

new policy. If the error is discov-

not get his place, we will simply no.

made, and leads to criticism and a
public scandal, we shall take pains
to publish all the names of endorsers,
as our vouchers, so to speak. OF
course we understand how difficult
it is for a man. to refuse to sign
petition for a fellow-townsman and

endorsements are all we have to 90
