In which that board is being made a part
of the Mercer political machine. Mr.. MIL

for a position on the fire force. and the

the position. sought to get him in line for
their congressional candidate by placing
his name on the substitute list.

Mercer outfit" said Mr.. Miller yesterday
and 1t does them no good to put me or
