the Democrats was badly shattered vester-
DAY when letter from ". 3. Fuller, of

denied admittanCe and were obliged to
content themselves with .aking a poll Of

letter from the secretary Of the Allied
Printers organization. complaining that the

tons. or campaign supplies of any kind has
gone out Of here without the union label
on it"
