A HELPLESS DEMOCRAT.
A Complaint of One of the Faithful i'm
Ward 2-How Matters are Run i'm the
Model Democratic Ward.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
Before you began to talk of the City Joiner
and the City Mason which our delegation in
the City Council affords, my eyes and those of
every respectable member of the Democratic
party in Ward 2 with whom have conversed,
were opened to the condition of affairs here.
Look at our ward ticket. pass by Mr.. Little
field for Alderman-a mere zero except to do
the bidding Of some man who gets the men TO-
gether to nominate him. 1 come to Mr.. Cum
ningham-a smart man looking after the dollar
and patronized by Democratic city officials
because he can carry votes. Mr.. Sargent is
very good kind of man except that he finds
his political associates with the Cunningham
Mcmahon crowd. What of the other fellow?
Who ever heard of him? 1 have not and I
have lived many years in Portland. What are
we to do? The Cunningham Mcmahon drive
can beat Us in caucus; and having the power
they nominate such men as they can control
Shall we submit longer? Already it is an act
of humiliation to vote the ticket which the
crowd of ignorant men name for us and it is
growing worse every year. Mayor Richardson
has also given this low crowd of Ward polti-
clans additional importance by giving them so
much patronage and pandering to the preju-
dices of the Catholic Democracy. He has recog-
nized them as leaders.
can see but one way out of it, 1 protest
that am a Democrat on all general issues, but
my Democracy will not make me the blind tool
of set of local leaders inspired by desire for
plumber and moved by narrow class and church
prejudices. Let this thing go on and it is soon
question whether or not our school money
shall be divided. 1 say can see but one way
out of it, and that is to vote for Gen. Francis
Fessenden. These leaders control Mayor Rich
ardson. They haze the uotes We must strike
at the root of the evil or be content to continue
the servile tools Of the Cunningham-M Mcmahon
ring. shall strike on Monday by voting for
Gen. Fes 'enden. To vote against the ward
ticket will be but to play with the danger.

who have heen treated for their ailments for months
without being benefited in the least until they have

rather die and have their sutferings ended than 10
