thing sure. he treated you with very
small courtesy; giving the mayor a
, copy and Shaw copy. Guess he didn't
| think your vote counted.
Williston speaking: He will see
about that all right When you come
down tomorrow. go and talk to the
mayor in nice way and also to shaw
, II he Is there, but I feel sure he is
against you. ] will try and talk with
Shaw and get out of him what he has
to say and let you know. 1 was ex-
pecting you back to see me last Sat-
urday. what was the matter?
Dean speaking: Well, you know !
was down there in the morning and
had little talk with the mayor and
Shaw butted in. l tried to make him
ashamed of himself. but he is too damn
thick. l met Temple the other day.
He was coming in the bar to have a
drink. so we split bottle of beer to-
gether. He told me you were out of
town. so of course l didn't go down
again.
Williston talking: Ho do you figure
your franchise will fare with the
council?
Dean speaking: Well, 1 believe ev-
erything is all right there. The most
of the boys sesm to favor me and I
don't believe they would put through
a franchise for A. F. Knots or John
Nyhoff. MY franchise Is nice and
clean. as you know yourself, and / do
not believe that any one find bad
flaw in It.
williston talking: From what 1
heard. Nyhon must of almost copied
from one OF four first franchises: be-
fore you made the correction. 1t struck
me this way when the mayor read it.
You asked me downstairs to get his
franchise for you, but I do not know
IL will be able to do 1t tomorrow. or
phone up 10 you or you can send down
and get It..
Dean speaking: Yes. l want to look
over the monstrosity You can tele-
phone me at Pittman G. Watsons Of
nee and let me know. I have agreed
TO do the right thing by you and want
you to help me out in every way.
williston talking: You will have
my support and help in every possible
way as l believe your franchise is all
right / do not see what special rights
the Steel company or A, f. Knots, or
either one, have on franchise here
| want to phone about that lot.
