anybody else. at the coming city cleo
ton to vote for any party. 1t seems to
me that more can be accomplished by
every man voting directly on the issue
which has been framed, and waive for
the time at least his partisanship It IS
not in the spirit of tyranny that pre-
fer to cast my vote with those who in
sist on the enforcement of the nuisance
laws but rather in the spirit of prog
ress and reform, of giving protection to
those who are unable or unwilling to
protect themselves, and of decreasing 70
a minimum that tyranny and oppression
which drunkenness and debauchely
force on all humanity.
Furthermore it would seem uni1ind to
so suddenly swOop down on Mr.. Spencer
and Mr.. Bird and rob them of all
chances for this position which they
both want so much. 1 therefore beg
