SUPPORTERS OF FREE SPEECH?
! At a meetings held in the Town Hall laet ! Thursday to protest against the broadcast ban lvoth the chairman and Mr. K. H. Melvin stated that they stood for freedom of tha air and '"free speech." And vet when * member of the audience objected to a statement in regard to Mr. Chamberlain he waa forcibly removed from the liall, or, in other words, he was thrown out for daring to void his opinion and use free speech, so it seems that Mr. Melvin is one of those gentlemen like the dictators who advocate free speech for themselves but object to others having I the same privilege. If Mr. Melvin was sincere in his demand for free speech he would have I invited the interjector to come on the plfctI form and explain hi* objection. 1 FAIR PLAY.
