situation in public," said an officer of
the association, nut we are now go
ing to lay the whole case before all
the people and let them see wha' is
involved. Our announcements are to
run in all the papers and we hope
every one who is concerned, and
there is no one who is not concerned
will read the statements and get the
straight of it from our standpoint
rather than to form opinions from
half-truths or gossip circulated to
create prejudice.
