at the precinct meetings, had evoked con
adorable discussion during the meeting

executive session commenced gentleman
of the committee called attention TO th,
fact that the tickets ordered ~ be printed
and which had been printed under the SUI
peryisIon OF the Committee on Printing
had been duplicated, and that IL was IN
