ladies of Askov will continue

an attack or threat against Fred

1t is the boast Of the Hinckley Big Five that
they can dictate and have the votes of other towns
in their pockets and will line them up solid against
Cunningham. Upon what meat do these men
feed that they grow great? Not in palmest
days of Jack Pine King did we find anything so
completely servile. Because Cunningham used the
right that every man has, the right of voting and
working according to the dictates of his own con-
science land did it openly and fairly he is to be
taught lesson. Now | want to say right here
there is no bunch of political schemers in Hnckey
or any other place in this county big enough to
tell me what must do to be good and the be with
right wrong or get off the earth stuff don't
