Mr.. Martin in making known the
minority views. Mr.. Hines was so in

participate in the caucus, boiling 1t SO

The trouble arose over the distribu-

The Common Council of 1908 held its

late, because practically every commit

four election districts in the city whose
total vote last election was more than
600, the legal limit. When the 900 mark
is passed it means redistricting.

This was dom because there was the
faint possibility that need for another

that President Patrick Ryan will ever
