PORTER HENRY STETLER For Councllmen--Third Ward PETER GAFFER PETER KIRSCH It is a great record—twenty nine ties. The election is Tuesday. Permit no ties on this day The casting of the democratic vote means a good round majority for the ticket Tuesday. To accomplish this there is work to do in which every democrat in the city is more than interested. A non-partison campaign cry among the republican brethern means later the appointment of republicans to all offices of trust thereafter. The game worked like a charm once and ought not to be •recognized again.

Chairman Miller has a complete and a good working organization and the effects will he quite pro-1 nonneed Tuesday. When the votes are being cast. Every democrat should get in the band wagon and make the maj< rtiy as Urge as the , democratic vote in the city. The instructions to every republican is to vote their party ticket and to vote it straight. The democrats are expected to do all the scratching, and now is a good time to form a resolution that you will not indulge the vanity of those who are working the g. o p. graft. Scratch your ticket just like they do, by voting straight. The battle cry of twenty-nine ties in two years has had a depressing es-

feet upon its authors the four cele- , brated couneilmen who are now 1 running a non partisan campaign. None of them ever scratched their ticket in their lives and have no in tention of doing it next Tuesday. Remember how easy they said the democrats were two years ago and refuse now to be doped. Monday evening the lust meeting of the campaign will be held at the surveyors office. The attendance should be measured by the number of democrats in the city and they should all be there, ready to offer their services all of Tuesady to the

efforts of redeeming the city from I' a council who see no merit in any- 1 thing but ties. Be on deck, and ready to do your duty. i A council with a record of twenty nine ties have no right to the sup port of voters who expect a official to perform his duties hon. estly and efficiently. The way to make an example of this sort of inefficiency is to vote the democratic ticket wihout a scrach. Do a little missionary work along this line, ■nd at least see that every democrat votes a democratic ticket.

Give us a business council, one ■ that will transact the business of the city, and let us out out this baby play of casting ties on all important measures The newspapers now have it that Hon. William J. Bryan and Henry W. Watterson have declared their preference for the democratic presidential nomination to be Mayor McClelland of New York. Such declarations show a rational mind among the readers of democracy. COURT NOTES Osborne Bill of Exceptions Filed Case Goes to Supreme Court—Other Legal Items of Items From Court Room.

Mrs. Hoyt, wife of Charles Hoyt, the playwright, added much to the enjoyment of a Lambs' club banquet In Chicago by her sharp and witty tongue, always ready for a home thrust. Mr. Hoyt was second on the list of speakers and was badly frightened. He con , eluded that be would plunge quickly Into bis speech when called upon, and, with this idea, be arose briskly when announced and starteel in: “Ladies and gentlemen, I feel honored, I’m sure, by this request of the toastmaster, but it is so unexpected I really bad no time to prepare—a—l really had no time to prepare—a"— And be stopjied. Every one

felt sorry for him, but Mrs. Hoyt seemed in no way disturbed. When she noticed his predicament she turned toward him suddenly and called out, "Why. Charley, you did It perfectly thia morning;” Read Ins and Thin kin*. The things one merely reads about never stick. Those on which one thinks become permanent acquisitions; hence the man who is not afraid of thinking and who does not dread "that cursed hour in the dark” is at a distinct advantage on every ground. He passes the time without being bored, and he strengthens his mind. To say this may no doubt sound slightly priggish, but it is none the less true. The man who can enjoy and make use of his own thoughts has a heritage which can never be alienated. Even blindness for him loses some of its terrors.— London Spectator.

Is you got a present for me?’ “ ‘But, Marla,’ I said, ‘you’ve got a husband alive and haven’t been divorced. It would be bigamy!’ “ ‘Well, Miss Annie.

“I think he wanted to borrow a couple of hundred dollars from you." she said. "He’s so anxious to get out of debt.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
