There you have it! Barnes ready
to DO the people and Duke willing
to do FOR the people as they wish.
Could anything more clearly mark

This self-seeking attitude of the
Barnes crowd Is exactly in line with
what might be expected could they
only get in the saddle by some hook
or crook The whole city would be
filled with H. The city hall would
simply be hotbed of shams and pre-
lenses to bankrupt the people for the
benefit of the few.
