the statement that he was the first charter

were a dozen in the audience who an

1t was a sort of a love feast, the old
voters showing that their lungs. too. were

former leader, and for almost one and
half hours he urged them not to take any
chances on closing the mills by voting
against the present administration. He
gave facts substantiated by figures on the
situation, and was cheered loudly and given
the closest attention throughout the entire
meeting.
