Mayor Joe Fern came in for scor-
ing by several of the speakers, who
said that he has done nothing while in

up a Democratic machine Both John

praised.
The crowd while not large nor es-
pecially enthusiastic. was attentive and
the telling points made by the spea kers
were generously applauded. The meet

turbances such as We're caused by Ger

Democratic machine and the men he
fired mad refused to do politics as he
wanted them to.
