Judging from remarks made by
those who oppose the project, there
will be hard fight against 1t when
the question comes to vote OF the
people. At present there is little dis
cussion among Manchesterians as to
the outcome, each side claiming to
have sufficient followers to gain their
end.
However, those in opposition will
make no effort to have the ordinance
killed In the councils, but are anx-
ious, they say. to put II UP to the
people"
The fact that the anti-annexation-
lists will fight them on election day
has In no way .dampened the en-
thustasm of those who want to come
under the wing OF the capital city
Some go so far rs to say that not
ixo ballots viii be cast against 1t.
