SINN FEM CLUBS
FAVOR IRISH TREATY
Resolutions Demand That Members of
the Dali Vote and Work for
Ratification.

Belfast = A convention of Sim Fein
clubs of North Donegal, held at Bun
crana, has adopted a resolution by
unanimous vote expressing satisfaction
with the Irish peace treaty as en-
bodying the essential of Ireland's
freedom and safeguarding Ireland's
honor Reports submitted before the
vote showed that each district in the
constituency favored ratification of the
pact.
The resolution called on the six Dali
members representing the district not
only to vote for the treaty but to use
their influence to bring about ratifi-
cation. Failure to do this, the resolu-
ton stated, would be regarded as be-
trayal of the best interests of the
country and gross contempt for the
opinions of their constituents.
Donegal, although the most northerly
county is under southern parliament,
being one of three counties excluded
from Ulster under the government of
Ireland bill of 1920.

of reservations made in places where
the old year is kicked and the new

II is no new thing, however. for

So serious is Dobie at all times
