As the Independent states: It accomplishes two codrdinate and eminently desirable results. In so doing it corrects two grave defects of our present electoral system. It ensures that each Congressman (As- semblyman, State Senator, Council- man, or what not) represents a unanimous constituency. He knows that every single one of his con- stituents wanted him elected. The present Congressman is painfully aware that many of his constituents would not have him, if they could help it, at any price.

Largest Manufacturers of Firearms and Ammunition in the World ‘Woolworth Building, New York Embarrassing for Nicola ICOLA MASTRELLA, Business Agent for the Street, Sewer and Building Laborers’ Union in Rochester, was obliged to shoot Antonio Simonetti on September 25th for non-payment of union dues, Simonetti would not join the union, Mastrella had had him dis- charged from one job. He got another. Mastrella came around to where he was at work and said he would call a strike unless Simonetti was discharged. Si- monetti drove him off with a pickaxe and threw paving stones at him.
