Only eight days are to pass before
the people Of Manchester are to decide
at the polls whether their city shall
irgton Ward or Richmond city. Al
though they are now assured of large
majority on April i the advocates of
asolidatiou mre working quite as
hard and as thoroughly us when they
began canvass of the voters of the
city two weeks ago. They are certain
that the majority Will be almost If
not quite. two to one, but every man
is bending his energies TO increase the
lead so that there will be the smallest
possible ground for contest.
Since there was no voice raised in
the hearing before Judge Frank Chris
tian, In the Corporation Court, on the
day that he set the election, the only
thing left 10 the anti -cousoiidation!sts
in case the vote comes out as is cN-
pected. is 10 contest the right of certain
citizens To cast their votes. This is
the last ditch. and IL is considered
barely possible that anything Will be
done along that line during the ten
days that Will eapse between the date
OF the election and the time that the
cities Will be declared one.
In order to forestall this. however
reliable men are in charge of tho quali-
tICtllpUS, anu are taxing the greatest
pains TO see that every advocate OF
consolidation is duly entitled 10 cast
his vote in any election.
New Banner Is swung.
IN addition TO the numerous signs
which have been springing up during
the fight is new one-a huge AFFAIR,
so by . feet in size-which was COM
pleted Saturday night and hung on
Hull Street near the headquarters OF
the Consolidation Club. In the centre
Is picture Of George Washington.
TO the right of the picture is tie fol-
lowing inscriptions:
..Vote for consolidation and you VIII
get better streets. more police prDtcc-
ton. lower insurance, lower tax rate,
better fire protection, conI gas for
cooking, more street lights, better pay
for city employees. new bridges, higher
grade schools md free kindcrgartcns
for all chiIdren.'
Opposite this the ILLUSTRATION is more
eloquent than words The leading in
scription is, .'No,c against consoIidn-
ton. and this is whnt you get. the anvil

JOHN 0RME WILL
 60 TO WASHINGTON Two Important Matters Win Be Brought tc the Attention of
 Eastern Statesmen.

John F. Ormc is to visit Washing ton in the next few days in the double capacity of member of the board of supervisors and president elect of the water users association. Two matters of deep import to the residents of the valley will be brought to the atten- ton of the proper statesmen by MT. 0rrue. the first is the disposition of School lands under the statehood bill. and the second the form of the con- 3ract for the postponement for two years of payment by the formers on the Roosevelt dam so as to permit them to raise the assessments for the con struction of power plants. The school matter will probably be taken up with Senator Bailey. and the contract with Secretary Ballinger.
 As the statehood bill now stands the school lands are to be sold at auction. Much of this land is TOW occupied and improved with dwellings. barns. etc.. and the sale would almost amount to confiscation of the leasor's property. His.onIy alternative would be to bid it in. himself. and in that case he would be paving twice for the same improve menis.
