Whether It b q wise procedure to

Yet II fair trea tment cannot be- had

experience Of those who have long
been connected with public movements
Of the mixed multitude seems to bend
In the direction of representation by

from the largenessi Of the indfvidual

Dor leaders, to jail for contempt of
court, filed petition with the SUI

another application for review on a
writ of error presented by attorneys
