ton with the ]. W. w. and when this
had proceeded a short time, Rev. w.
A. Burnett of kenmare, arose and
said:
Gentlemen, am not in politics,
but this gentleman, Mr.. Milloy, is
speaking here as gentleman and
saying nothing offensive and we as
gentlemen must show him we are
gentlemen. This is disgraceful and
must be discontinued because 1t is
not fair. He takes a fair position
so let's treat him like a gentleman"
Mr.. Milloy went on with his talk
uninterrupted.
Charles q. Gordon, formerly an
organizer for the league. repudiated
the statement made by Mr.. Brinton
recently, that he (Gordon) was fired

"In view of the way the United
