resisted by James Mccormick who
moved substitute providing for the

the population of others, and that it
would be just as consistent to elect
the delegates from each township,
even though the population Of scme

OF shears.
"He cut my hair az the temples away
so high that look like Chinaman who
wants his hair To grow only I'm queue.
while the back OF my head has ridges ike
a washboard. (My friends call me the
man with the forty steps on his head.
I paid 25 cents for the job and when I
protested against tho poor workmanship
and the slash OF the razor above my ear
I received for my temerity n lot Of insult
ing talk and was called insulting names,
including cheap mugs'. and was Informed
that there was a shop on the street that
would finish tho Job for 10 cents" In
conclusion he says: "As a citizen OF

rageous treatment at the hands OF I'M
