DR.. d. II. Currie yesterday morning re
garding the progress of the anti-mos.
quito campaign, from forty-six indig
nant citizens. This promising send-off
to the campaign, testifying as 1t did to
the thoroughness with which it had
been started, brought the committee in
charge sharp up against the situation
where they will have set themselves di
rectly in opposition to certain por
tion Of the eommunity, receive the
widest abuse, personal and otherwise
and cultivate the antagonisim of many.
They discussed 1t for one hour and q
half, without a word indicating that
they dreaded it the least bit. Then they
decided to stand the widest of the
abuse, the bitterest of the antagonism
or anything else which that certain poT.
tion Of the community elected to hand
out to them.
From the very start have been
waiting for this, lt<had to come some
time, - said Chairman w. +. Dillingham;,
after all the Others had spoken, "and
it might just as well have come now
