grace upon the old Burnt" district
to have such a man as Bassett AT
the helm. Instead of attending to his
duties as chairman, prior to our last
congressional nomination. he was
travelling over the district blowing his
"bazoo" for Mr.. Barnard. The con

and Barnard was nominated. The
gang could control the convention. but
when it came down to election day
they could not hoodwink the voters
and the Sixth district, for the frs,
