ample notice that he the old Addison was before
proved by attempting to drive wedge
between Councilman Tom Burke and the Democratic party when he
said that Burke elected by labor and that the Democrats need
not take credit for Burkes election.
Now I qubble small thngs but it is
impression that Burke not the only who was elected by labor
moreover positive that Thacher wasn't because have not
able find anyone who will admit they voted for him. Every
body Thace until election day. and then they out and
