campaign card and has received much en
couragement in his campaign. His plat

M. J. Murnane, member of Steam En-

Legislature, at first intended to run for
sheriff but later when Fitzgerald an-
nounced his candidacy, he decided to with-
draw and support the cigarmaker. Mr.
Murnane’s friends urged him to become
a candidate for the Legislature, and now
that he is in the race, he is making a thor-

very similar to that of A. W. Lawrence.
