IF ANYBODY says l done thing toward colo

clean through. I amt got nothing to DO WIN
the fight in CAROLS district. Carrol's people
may and people moving into that district
dsv. and some is moving downtown. 1 tell you
# there's any colonizing I'm not connected with
St and don't know anything about it. Carroll
knows amt touching his fight
Then a bright thought entered Sports
Fbrain. and he added.
How do know Carroll amt colonizing peo-
r,1e in NV district There are some people from
his district moved into mine Just lately can
ACCUSE him Of interfering against me

hit Of hurnor vas highly appreciated by his few
auditors.
After Sport had departed. Tom Smith
,4oupd an opportunity of airing his views on the
fight in the IXth District.
It's q wonder the investigators Of primary
frauds don't look into the IXth District, ne
said. The records Of the Board Of Elecnohs
show that 1900 people transferred there from
other districts. / predict that after the pri-
mary there will be general clearing out OF these
foaters Just now people seem to prefer our
climate 70 that Of the Adirondacks. Instead
of the general moving away that has neen
customary al this time OF the year, we lll!u
people coming in in droves. Carrol! oslEIcL -
growing and there is some reason for the large
Increase in its population. The IAth Dlstrlct Is
an old locality and he populaton IS setLleu.
