Discontinuance Of List Practice.

We the undersigned physicians
of Tracy, City by mutual agree
ment have after due consider
alton decided that on account OF
financial conditions of this place
which has caused such great re-
duction in the number of our list
subscribers that it is best that
we discontinue this form of prac-
tice. 1t is a known fact to the
public that for a physician to
make living from this form of
work that his list must be large
in number and it is essential
that the subscriber be prompt in
making his monthly payment.
So circumstances over which our
subscribers have no control, this
is made impossible with many on
account of their present financial
condition, so we wish to state to
our friends that we have agreed
upon small fee which both OF
US will charge the same. So after
Nov. 1, 1904, we will discontinue
the list practice. Thanking ouI
friends for their support we re.
main, Respectfully.

counted in the First Alabama district.
This injustice Is nearly as great to
the voters of Mr.. Snook's Fifth Ohio,
one CT the strongest, most reliably
Democratic districts In Ohio.
Even in the First Alabama district
itself, ''the color line" pretense works
out In the elimination and exclusion
OF white men from voting. The census
enumerated 1901 native white men
of voting age in that district and 1861
raturalized citizens, making a total OF
1922 white men in the district, al.
most all Of whom would vote II they
we're In Ohio. But only 5,974 votes
were cast for congress in 1902, so that
II every one was voted by white
man. that was less than one-third of
their total number. Thus the Ala
bama laws practically disfranchised
at the November election In 1902 at
least 13,148 white men in George
Washington Taylor's First Alabama
district.
