FUNK SAYS HE'LL VOTE
AS PEOPLE WISH

AS an issue productive of all
sorts of lively elements the refer
endum measure now before the city
council is what might be termed a
bowling success. Yesterday long
before The Press was on the
streets Councilman Funk's report
ed opposition to the referendum
had reached democratic headquar-
tiers. There it was confidently
averred that Funk would think bet
ter of the referendum even if he
were actually disposed otherwise
at this time.
Now comes Councilman Funk
who alleges somewhat emphatically
that he has been miscontrued, mis-
understood and misconstructed gen.

meant in remarks from finch refer
endum opposition differences were
drawn fail to jibe with those same
differences set forth in cold type.
You can say for me-" says
Councilman Funk, that | am going
to vote for what the people want
regardless of my own personal
opinion on any measure that comes
up. 1 am a union man myself and
my interests are with the working
men. Not having had chance to
study the referendum ordinance
cannot declare myself on it either
way further than to say now that
if the people want that law I am
for IT." ~

with botoh Mr.. Skidds and the
master and l had reason, good rea-
son, to believe my name was not
unknown to the masters wife and
daughters. l met Hortense, the
oldest daughter, one morning and
bowed to her according to the in

Ae few days later I had another
opportunity to place the master un-
der obligations to me. Just as she

frightened and kicked the single
tree to pieces. l was near and
