apparent purpose Of some Of the OPP
ponents Is to cloud the issue. The
proposition is simple-Shall Jose
phine county accept gift Of ;12.-
500 for the purpose OF erecting a
building In which to house the books
in the present library? The accept
anee Of the gift requires that
$3.50 be provided annually for
maintenance. The fact is that the
present library is costing the tax
payers $4,000 each year. $3.50 per
year more than the Carnegie library
board insists upon. II you want a
fine library building vote Yes" II
you don't want building and want
to continue the cramped quarters in

torney Carl L. Whitney who insisted
that he should be released on his own

When Fish was arraigncd before tbo
Commissionc. Mr.. Whitney expressed
surprise that a former oliicer of tho

would see to it that John A. Bolles was
defeated just the same.
Asked if he had been to see Charles

Wednesday of last week with the idea
OF obtaining support in his canvass.
he said:
Yes, it is true that went with John
NJ. Hoyall and Mr.. Moulton, a Tammany
Hall coIored Democrat, to see the Tam-
many people. We saw Thomas 81 r
McAvoy. Mr.. McAvoy said that Tam.
many would not support anyone not a
Democrat for Representative in that
district. He intimated that if the col.
ored Republicans would get behind Mr..
Moulton we might make combination. ="
Mr.. Royal would not discuss the suh.

the independent candidacy Of DR.. Ran

1--WE feel outraged by the manaoe-
ment of Republican politics by County
Chairman koerig, Collin Woodward
John j. Lyons, John A. Bolles and others
because they will not give us a square
deal
I'VE demand an Assembly district

most exclusively by colored people in
Harlem. Instead of properly recog-

bels and so cut it up that it consti-
tutes portions of two or three Assem-
