We intend to show them that their in-

will be paramount in the management

the people of the, city prefer to stir
cheaply by boat or to pay the higher
railroad rates and take their chances
on embargoes when it’ becomes neces-
sary to enforce them.
“We will give the. people of Norwalk

way for the coming of Miller & ”""’ms¢.‘n"
Houghton to this city prevents this {xvi-ugh"
paper from using his name. Those
who have ‘been in touch with things
in this city will not need to guess
long. A little thought will reveal the
identity‘of a certain man here who
has been doing things for Norwaikand
who has been coming more and more ~
into the limelight as this city's most
prominent and aggressive business
man. a man who has been associated
with a dozen successful movements
