If anything were needed TO prove the surrender Of the

lowes name appears as candidate for the United states
senate and cepddae for the noson Of Of the six
directors Of the Metropolitan utilities These six directors
choose the manager for the works and other utilities
the 10000 job referred to- When Howell IL elected
ator he would not and could not be manager Of the utilities
