 "once the Chamber of Commerce { can get the members of their organ { ization elected 10 tho council they are all set for monopoly, prejudice, and unjust domineerng. Their first
 step would be to put before the
 council a bill enabling them to ap- . point city manager, fixing a salary at any amount they wished to. This city manager once In power will no doubt take full charge of the city { ! business, he will take his orders from | the Chamber of Commerce. The mayor will be nothing but a figure

 W "Mr. Voters, did you ever stop to = think of what the two big Bristol l. combinations, the New Departure r. and the Chamber of Commerce, are Il doing to boost Bristol. No doubt
 it has not been called to your atten- J. tion. First of all, every day in come y the busscs from Meriden, importing 'e the labor from that town to the ' New Departure. to earn their wages '' to support other towns, while the -. Bristol taxpayers money repairs the " roads for these busses to tear up. A .o few hours later the big department
