COLLEGE GREEN ELECTION, 1915. WHO IS FARREN ? He is the nominee of Larkinism and Pro-Germanism. His manifesto issued to the electors glories in it. If the citizens of Dublin wish to see a recurrence of the methods of Larkinism which disgraced the city and ruined its trade two years ago, they will vote for Farren. The merchants and workingmen of Dublin are equally concerned in giving Larkinism a final and crushing blow. The workingmen of Inchicore and Usher's Quay have already kicked him out of the Corporation. VOTE FOR NUGENT. Printed and Published by Dollard Ltd., Wellington Quay.
