ture. was run entirely by Malone office

John A. Noon, stamp deputy, were the
managers. An attempt was made to
create movement In favor OF
the State ticket by putting up
E. +. Vincent. Democrat. who would
vote for Malone. The selection was
unfortunate. The managers called
loudly for Vincent to make speech
TO the mass meeting. He had not
spojxen ten minutes before he an
nounced that for some time he had
voted independent, first on one side
and then on the other. lie claimed to
be a simon pure Democrat. but neither
party has counted him for long time
he has been Hoater. Other Demo-
Gratis were booked for speeches, but
this effort was such failure that they
were net brought out. This Will be
favorite trick during the canvass.
