Mr. Palmer said that it was up to
the voters to adopt or reject the new
charter. If they wanted to see the
present system continued, they should
vote against the new charter, but if
they wanted to see a btSeter system
inaugurated they should vote for the
new charter.
Questions, criticism of the new char

invited, but nobody responded, and tie
