headed the accident bureau.
Officials finally agreed that his

street had echoed with the crash
of Sawedoff ShotgunS as carload
OF thugs tried TO kill hun as he
drove TO work.
Whoever those thugs were-and
neither GarvIn nor the rest OF the
police department were able 10
capture them they had good
cause TO hate him. He was widely
known as a tough cop.
GaVln earned that reputation
when he headed the crime and

brood of killers, hombers and hi

tore into the growing mobS with

THE FIRST STEP

SO. the first step by Barnard

front row seats at the national
convention next year. must be Ia
force a new county meeting next
spring for the selection of new del

It IS within the power Of the

But this was not done in 1896 OF
IN 1910 In those years the govt
orninE body merely authorized the
delegates OF the previous fall tC

SO, what happened?
Quietly and without explanation

after.

into our damp clothes, made up our
faces, done what we could with our

represent approximately 140,000,000
