This act is only one of many instances of relentless persecution I have borne since my work in the last city campaign
 Both Dr. Croft and Prentice W. Chase were read out of the club last night after a conference for the puri- flying of party politics in the state which they called and to which 15 delegates resopnded yesterday.
