Here the same tatics w7sfe resOrted

extent, as tho Peoples voters are in I
the minority there. Except beveral /

men born. raised and now living :
in the wari. They have been regis
tered and have voted for years.
they are well known TO the :eputy
registrar, George LambOurne, and
have been since b0yhOOd, YET that
official erased their names, and that
without just cause. Others who
were similarly treated were num-
hered among old settlers here, who
have aided in developing the

anger ut the outrage perpetrated !
upon them. They went 70 the reg

he gave them 4 note, with a pre-
tense Of being fair, but II did no
good. His show Of fairness was but
hypocrisy, and the American citi-
zens thus grossly wronSed had to !
submit, because they were members [
u the Peoples Party. The Lib :

Pies Party whose names still re- {
mlined turned out in force, :
aud rolled up 4 majority Of one
hundred and fourteen for their can Z
