Power Companies, or their friends, una
bic to answer arguments and facts, have
adopted the policy of publishing non
sense in advertisements printed in a
form like those published by the Munic-

to lead the careless reader to believe
that he is reading matter sent out by
the League. No doubt the better judg
ment of the gentlemen directing the
Power Companies will soon convince
them of the hopeless folly of this meth
cd of deception, but until that happens,
we ask that you use more care than ever
