to go out of business.
There Is nothing in, the "Ripper" bill that
will materially affect the people of Snyder coun-

Allegheny and Scranton, the mayors the people
themselves elected and places the appointment
of all officers, such as police, etc, over 5000 in
all, into the hands of the Governor.
The voters in these cities elected their mayors
and the legislature had no more right to take the
mayor from these people than they would to

we elected to fill them.
