Gated In the parochial and public
schools Of Buffalo. the University of
New York and Chicago College of
Law. He has the degree Of LII. b.

A fair and just redistricting of the
wards throughout the city Is what
the people want. Many Of the wards
as now made up are constituted
wrongly, both as to amount of popu.

serving their party and their city as
we'll and this they should do.
